Smartphone and Cellphone Wars

Mas matibay "daw" ito kesa Myphone, Chery Mobile at Torque Foxconn ang supplier ng parts.

sana nga matibay, my wife just had it for about a week. so di pa masabing matibay. least it's android so free ang ibang angry birds series hehehe

also why my wife considered this cause it has a 4.3" screen para madali mag pindot hehehe

[Retz]

it's 7500 for the 4S clone and 10-11k for the Note and S3

so mga around 10K pesos ang 4s. Mas mahal kumpara sa mga china phone na 4s din which cost around 2k pesos. Did you bought one?

[SiRbossR]

i didn't buy one. i was just looking around and stumble upon it. i watched videos of it in youtube.

[Ry_Tower]

Okay kaya ito? May nakasubok na ba? Huawei Mediapad from Globe.

[SiRbossR]

Huawei gadgets are slow as f*ck.

OT:

Is it a possible to clone a prepaid sim card? Alam ko sa post paid pwede. But not sure if it is possible or mobile company would grant cloning prepaid sim card.

[SiRbossR]

how exactly do you clone a postpaid sim?

EDIT: afaik, you can ask your carrier to produce another simcard for you with the same number if you lost your previous one, prepaid or postpaid but i don't know if the old one will simultaneously work with the new one.

JOLLA, A new OS from the employees kicked out from NOKIA.

This is what Nokia could have been if not for Windows phone.

Nice. But what manufacturer will carry the OS and new ecosystem? Is it Android with a different flavor?

If you get a new sim, the old one will be invalidated.

Alam ko sa mga Globe Platinum members, meron silang extra sim card. Don't know if pwede sabay gamitin.

Went to sun shop, pag postpaid pwede mag clone pero pag prepaid hindi daw pwede. Not sure with Globe or Smart. Ung iPhone 5 kasi Nano sim na, eh ung mga sim card dati malalaki ung gold chip hindi kaya i-trim down to nano sim.

[LiempoBoi]

OT lang din...tungkol sa sim card.

Smart Bro nano sim yung gamit ko sa phone ko ngayon simula noong binili siya (Wala daw stock ng nano sim yung smart para sa prepaid kaya smart bro nalang kinuha ko)

Ok naman siya sa call & text. Pero yung problema ko is yung loading part gamit yung card (ok kapag pasaload at yung load sa mga sari-sari store). Hindi siya inaacept kahit na kakascratch lang kaya kailangan pa iload sa ibang phone tapos ipapasa sa smart bro nano sim equipped phone. Ano kaya problema nito? Palit na ba ako ng sim card? Hindi pa ako nakakapunta sa smart center dahil bawat tingin ko sa labas madaming tao.

Jolla is a startup comprising former Nokia employees..

Jolla gives first look at Sailfish OS as it plans assault on Google, Apple app stores
By Liam Tung for Norse Code | November 21, 2012 -- 15:53 GMT (23:53 SGT)

Jolla, the Finnish start-up championing the MeeGo platform abandoned by Nokia, has unveiled the user interface for its Sailfish operating system.

Jolla gave the first look at the UI for Sailfish, which is based on MeeGo descendant Mer, at the Slush developer conference in Helsinki, Finland on Wednesday – a significant step in its plan to take on what it sees as the app duopoly of Apple and Google.

Jolla also used Slush to take the wraps off the SDK to Sailfish that it will be offering to device makers. The SDK, which is available for download from Wednesday, consists of Mer Core's tools, Qt Creator, Jolla UI components, Sailfish UI framework and Sailfish handset application interfaces.

The Finnish firm, which is made up mainly of ex-Nokia staffers, talked up the UI's multitasking abilities, highlighting that users don't need to enter an application to interact with it - pausing a song directly from the homescreen, for example.

The company also announced that ST‐Ericsson will support the Sailfish OS in its NovaThor platforms, and that it expects to announce further chipset manufacturer partners in the near future.

While Sailfish can be used for other types of devices, including tablets, smart TVs and in-car kit, it's chiefly a mobile play.

Jolla's primary goal however remains to launch its own Jolla- branded smartphone, which is likely to happen in the first half of 2013 - slightly later than the 'soft' deadline former Jolla chief Jussi Hurmola had in mind.

The first Sailfish devices are expected to launch next year, with Finnish carrier DNA announcing that it will "sell and market Jolla smartphones in Finland as soon as they enter the market". The company also has an agreement with Chinese retailer D.Phone to stock Jolla devices.

Jolla is also planning to provide ready-made Jolla hardware to mobile network operators. "We're doing Sailfish by Jolla smartphones that someone like Orange, Vodafone or Hutchison would then be able to deeply integrate their services into. They would be able to quickly create devices that have Sailfish that also have their brand on the outside," Jolla's recently appointed CEO, Marc Dillon, told ZDNet.

Jolla vs the app stores

Although it's still unclear exactly how Jolla intends to challenge the app store business model, a key to its plan remains enabling companies that have been locked out of app store earnings to push their own services through the Jolla devices.


"The appeal to businesses is the ability to put their services in and have those services supported very well by the operating system. The other thing about business is the ability to have different business models. So app stores, app stores, app stores are the primary business model. We're able to enable many different kinds now," said Dillon.

"In the past, early device manufacturers made the devices and the operators sold them. Then the operators started pushing their own services. With the main ecosystem companies - the duopoly as some call it - there's very little opportunity for an operator to create a deeply integrated service in those operating systems. With Apple it's almost impossible, with the next Android the release goes out and then they have to reintegrate it and change it and make sure it works in that form, every new version that comes out.

Companies that want to bring their own technologies to the device can also do that without sharing those unique components with other vendors that use Sailfish, according to Dillon.

"With an open operating system and ecosystem, different technologies can be introduced. There's no politics, no strategy... We can make a bunch of different variants from it that might have different technologies, a different look and feel and stuff like that. That is what Sailfish is offering."

Baka mainwan ka ng panahon sa Nokia,,,Symbian OS has been dropped by Nokia itself. Malamang mabagal, since Nokia is trying to get rid of their old inventory. Pero kung kailangan mo lang ng call at text. pwede na ata mga Nokia.
