In spite of the unpredictable weather conditions, nothing had prevented us, not even the strong downpour that we encountered last Tuesday, from being present at the Philippine launch of the latest LG KS360 mobile phone which was held at Edsa Shangri-La Manila in Mandaluyong City.

Riding on the marketing battle cry “Text To The Max”, we clearly see that LG Electronics is projecting the KS360 towards a huge demographic in the country. The Korean chaebol is aware that the Philippines remains in the lead as the texting capital of the world with more or less 66 million subscribers on record. A large fraction of this bulk is the youth which is the specific target market of the KS360.

While there are a lot of mobile phone mock-ups in various malls today, I think that this one SHOULD be the furniture to get people talking.

It's called the MegaPhone, a mobile phone that you can display just about anywhere...

This thing has a width of 45cm, depth of 19cm, height of 123cm, and stands a whopping 170cm when placed on a podium. In order for you to have a clearer idea, its size when placed in a podium reaches 67".

Unlike any other mock-up phone displays that I've seen all over the Metro, the thing about the MegaPhone is that it is a fully functional mobile phone. You can use this to call and even text the people that you know. Moreover, it also has these features to boot:

- Large colour display, touch screen for pen-based phones

- Touch buttons with keyboard encoder

- Fully embedded standard phone with real functionality

- Personal computer as a control centre

- Bluetooth and USB connections

- All needed cables and chargers

- Delivered with an impact resistance box for the safe transport

- Easy to transport podium equipped with wheels

It will probably cost you an arm and a leg, but it would be nice to have a fully functional phone that you can show off and display. If you want to know more, better click this link right here. As for me, I'll just stick to my handy mobile phone thank you. :)

While you guys may think/say that "Oh, that won't happen to me!" I would just to take this opportunity to share some scams that happened to some people I know...

Feel free to discuss other scams that you know after reading this entry. Hopefully, by doing this, everyone will be able to keep their eyes open and will be vigilant should they come across a scam or two...

I have a mobile phone that has a 1.3-Megapixel sensor. And whenever I take photos, I find it quite annoying that I have to use the digital zoom function whenever the person/object that I am shooting is just too far away. Although I prefer using a digital camera, companies like Brando has a way of making the mobile phone a powerful shooter (in a way).

It's called the "Mobile Phone Telescope," and this is a sure fire way of improving your shots one magnification at a time...

No matter how careful you are, there will always be a time when your cell phone will get wet. Sure, you've tried a lot of methods just for your precious phone to be saved, but instead of testing, why not read on to know the right way to do an emergency CPR on your cellphone?

Men beware! According to a new study, men who use their mobile phones often increases their risk of infertility.

According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, those who made calls from their mobile phones for more than four hours a day had the worst sperm count and the poorest quality of sperms. Doctors said that this is probably due to the electromagnetic radiation or heat from mobile phones.

I have seen countless cellular phones in the market today ranging from big bulky ones, to small, lightweight ones. However, nothing tops this new "small" cellular phone from China...

It weighs only 55g and is only 6.7cm in length.

It's called Xun Chi 138, a fully-functional touchscreen phone.
