Cherry Mobile Trident, the first triple-sim phone in the market [Pinoy Tech Blog]
That’s not a typo. It seems that a lot of people are not satisfied with their dual-sim phone that local phone manufacturer Cherry Mobile decided to introduce a mobile phone that can handle three sim cards at once.
The Cherry Mobile Trident is the first triple-sim-capable mobile phone in the market. Globe, Smart, Sun, Talk N’ Text, Red Mobile, etc., choose your 3-sim combo and the Trident can handle them all.
For a cheap price of Php6,450, you can get these specs for a phone:
Now doesn’t that sound too good to be true? You can record TV and Radio with this phone? The Trident was just released this month so get them while it’s hot in the nearest Cherry Mobile Stores and Dealers near you.
iPhone 4 spotted [Pinoy Tech Blog]
We got an iPhone 4 sighting earlier courtesy of Mr. Art Samaniego of Manila Bulletin. Too bad I didn’t have a decent camera with me. Just the one from an HTC phone.
The iPhone 4 looks really nice in the flesh which should be of no surprise when looking at an Apple product. I was able to witness it’s retina display side-by-side with the Samsung Galaxy S’ Super AMOLED and the verdict? Super AMOLED looks more vibrant and clear from afar but the retina display looks sharper in viewing distance.
Contrary to what most people believe about the iPhone 4’s crappy reception due to its poor antenna design, this unit didn’t have any of those problems. Art said that the first batch of iPhone 4’s are the ones that have a buggy reception.
I’m not a fan of the iPhone 3G but I’m now a fan of the iPhone 4.
So how did Art got an iPhone 4 with a Globe sim considering that Globe’s available microSIM is made for the iPad (data only)? Buy an unlocked phone from the UK Apple Store which costs around Php30,000.
Then cut your regular sim card to microSIM size. Yep, the only difference between a regular sim and a microSIM is the size so cutting it with an Xacto knife or even a scissor is an easy solution.
More photos of the same iPhone 4 can be found on techie.com.ph. Check out Art’s review in the Manila Bulletin this Monday.
Thinking about dinner parties [Sacha Chua]
The Toronto Public Library had “Julie & Julia”, so we watched it. (A movie about cooking! Of course.) I smiled at the bouef bourgignon, which W- had made for me once, and the aspics, which I’d encountered in the Joy of Cooking but have not dared to try. It was a good movie, and we both enjoyed it a lot.
Reflecting on it, I realized that I want to get back into hosting parties. However, Saturday afternoons are a good time to do woodworking, and circular saws do not go well with conversation. We probably shouldn’t spend every weekend woodworking, anyway. So I will just have to ignore that niggling itch of there-are-only-so-many-weekends-in-summer-and-only-so-many-daylight-hours desperation, work out some kind of schedule that accommodates the items W- and I want to build, and overlook the stacks of tools and lumber that make our living room unsuitable for company. After all, people have always just hung out in the kitchen.
I remember what it was like to learn how to cook on my own, dealing with too many leftovers (ah, supermarket sizes) and not enough tools. With an eat-in kitchen, well-stocked cabinets, and a wonderful garden with plenty of fresh herbs and vegetables, it would be great to help friends learn how to cook, particularly if I can pick up new recipes along the way. And now that the cats are no longer furiously shedding their spring coats, friends may breathe a little easier…
Maybe some kind of a supper club, for every other Saturday, or once a month at the latest? Friends can either bring whatever recipe they want to try, or come over early and prepare things in the kitchen. It shall have to be a homey atmosphere so that I don’t feel self-conscious about, say, having to clear papers off the table. Saturdays mean we can raid the farmer’s market or head to the supermarket if the pickings aren’t good, and people have the afternoon to come and cook if they want to.
I shifted to tea parties for a number of reasons. Hosting an open house meant that people could drop by whenever they were available, instead of being there at a certain time in order to sit down for dinner. Small treats meant that it was easy to accommodate different dietary restrictions. Maybe I can alternate tea parties and dinner parties, or work out a rhythm with other friends who like hosting. =) Or I can get back into dinner parties when I’ve gotten the hang of preparing make-ahead casseroles and other good dishes for entertaining…
I have a tea party on July 10, so I think I’ll keep it as an afternoon tea party, and maybe look into preparing some of those interesting salads in one of Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks. Hmm…
