Tech:
Windows 7 - Nice... Never figured out my Laptop's vista.

CDRKing DVD-Rs - Php 11 buy branded ones (imation), the unknown generic ones got bubble after being submerged in the Cainta flood.
Mobile Charger (powered by AA batt) - Php 150- cool! it had a plug for my Samsung and portable. You can charge from a AA battery!
Keyboard - Php 120? Went berserk after 6 months, I don't know if it's my son's gaming
TV Box- Php 2k+ - Separate tV tuner box connected to a PC monitor, can use your LCD or CRT as a TV, PIP for watching TV and PC use.
Cable Holder-nifty little thing to organize your earphones
SATA/IDE to USB- not a clean connector, dangling parts for SATA drives

Telecoms-
Globe Tatoo vs Smart BRO in Cainta - winner: Smart. In Sucat -tie.



SMART buddy prepaid
+
signal in provinces i guess. The only one that worked during Ondoy in Cainta.
Load validity- Longer than Globe
_
missing loads
confusing non intuitive instructions (to check balance type ?1515 - wow, i can remember that agad, kasi ?1515 reads like check balance... sheesh)
taxi like confusing pulse charge
Cannot forward load to smart bro from your buddy, or sometimes if they feel like it, only once. Even if you load your credits from a prepaid card it will claim that it was pasaloaded.
No security in their pasa load, anybody can pickup your smart phone and pasa load from it.
Separate card for Bro and buddy.
Dati may 115 pre paid load/card.. really now? may butal pang P15, hagilapan pa kayo ng tindero ng extra change. Buti now wala na.
Load increments of 10, 15 etc and cant be in between, and you can't even pasa load a pasa load!
Stupid unlitext promo - may limit pa rin. If you text that much why not upgrade to post paid?
It's rare that I know people who REALLY knows how to PASA LOAD, LOAD from a card in Smart prepaid -- they'll just go.. pa load ka na lang sa tindahan.



GLOBE prepaid
+ immortal load- it really is immortal,
Intuitive instructions-check balance is just "bal" send to 222- SIMPLE LANG!
Per second Charging - mas malinis na singilan
Share-a-load - Any amount! can be forwarded again! with password!
Bigger free text on P300 load (for update)
-
Customer Service - reloaded my missing share a load in one week! after calling them everyday and they keep proclaiming it will be back in 24 hrs.
Signal - dead spot at work! in Libis. sheesh. Sudden loss of service (network maintenance?)
Roaming Pre-paid - cannot turn off Roaming once in Philippines! You have to call customer service and it took 1 week to return normal call operations. We usually buy another pre-paid card for roaming and dispose upon arrival.

Samsung - i just notice i have more and more samsung products...
