That's why chinafones are steadily gaining popularity because you
can watch TV on your fone for free, although local TV stations lang.
Not like the branded ones where you have to pay for the service
like Smart MyTV.

I was in Festival Mall this afternoon and the celfone stallowners there
told me that chinafones are not registered with the NTC so hindi
nila pwede i-display. Kaya pala when I asked for one, the vendors
told me to wait as they went to their storeroom to get it.

I was really tempted to buy one because of the nice features.
Pinigilan lang ako ni wifey kasi she doesn't trust the brand daw.
(never heard kasi!).

But if I get feedback from two or more users telling me its OK,
I just might go ahead and buy one!

N77 and N92 use DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcast for Handheld) using the 635Mhz frequency. You do not need 3G or EDGE or GPRS to receive the TV show.

Yung mga China phones malamang they are using analog tv tuners thats why the broadcast they get are the terrestrial/local channels only. N77 and N92 can catch Dream's DVB signal pero you cannot log-on to their system since may encryption or passkey na different yun.

I'm not sure though kung uso dito sa Pilipinas ang auction ng frequency like yung sa states na 700Mhz FCC auction pero likely na humingi siguro ang Smart na gamitin ang 635Mhz frequency... But I guess the 635Mhz range is the standard since Dream also uses this....

So, that commercial from Smart(i think) about the TV phone, anybody availed of that lately? Was curious din kung local channels lang din lang or kung ano ba....

If you're not picky about old-school phones, see if you can still find a Nokia 6250. In addition to being shock- and dust-proof, it can actually withstand immersion in water for up to 60 seconds.

You can also look at the Nokia 5140. Mine's still working despite being physically abused to heck, pero nakagarahe muna since I got my 6300.

Here's a story about a 5140 and a Motorola V3x, both "tested to destruction":

Yung nokia 6250, matibay talaga iyan. Meron ako nyan noon. Ang tibay! Ilang beses ko ng nababagsak at minsan nabato pa yung cell pero ayos pa rin.

Makakapal yung materials na ginamit doon. Pati yung back cover ang kapal. May rubber seal pa yun para water resistant kahit papano.

Back to topic:

Matibay ba yung china phone? Di muna kasi ako bumili kasi baka masayang yung pera ko kung mabilis lang masira eh. Kung dito ba bibili, magbibigay ba ng waranty yung seller?
