    Maganda nga yung Nokia 2730. Yung phone mo ba hindi unlocked? If it is you can bring that phone anywhere except Korea but I think the 3G phones work there with a SIM card, if you can find one. Check out the Nokia E71. Less than P20,000 na lang yata yan dyan. That phone is a good one and I swear by it because I have one for almost 2 years na.

    Sorry, but I can't help you here. I don't own a cellphone of any sort.

    hi Joey...its more of 3G capability..mine is already roaming and worked when I was in the US..kaso sa Japan, kailangan 3G eh...

    so, useless ang Treo ko tsaka these other cellphones I have here at home kc di 3G

    hi Ted.....oh that reminds me..if I will be calling you, that means at the office or at home?

    I feel somewhat incomplete without my hanky and cellphone, watch and wallet when I go on trips...(well, ok the wallet is a given)

    I understand Cat but I am talking about putting in another SIM card from that other country's into your cell phone so you will get local rates. Just like when I went home to Pinas, I bought a SIM card there and bought some loads to use my phone there. I did not use the roaming capability of my phone. If I did, I would have gotten a $3,000 bill on my statement when I got home:-(((

    ah....I don't usually make calls naman kc from my cell when am in another country...hehehe..para lang ma receive ko ang text where I get most of my info (free kc)....

    I just use a phonecard and pay phones (nagtitipid talaga ano? hahaha) its more for emergency that people can reach me immediately...

    oh yes, the last time, I answered calls when I was abroad, lucky work-related, so charge :-)

    Subukan mo sa EBay. Mura lang dun. Some around $150.00 or P6500 + shipping and handling. Pa declare mo na lang ng mas mura para mura din ang tax.

  17. CatH \(^_^)/October 17, 2010 at 4:42 PM

    Php 4,690 lang sa Anson's ang Nokia 2730..good for 6 months, installment, zero interest....maybe I should get one and give my old one to my mom who doesn't like cellphones..hehe!

    on another note, the C3 looked attractive from afar, but it wasn't 3G :-( and its not a smartphone either..

  18. Tochie **October 17, 2010 at 8:26 PM

    Yes. Kasi nasa presyo na, hehehehe...

  19. CatH \(^_^)/October 17, 2010 at 10:51 PM

    regarding that, pano pala yon..assuming the price is more or less the same from a couple of months back ....and even with the credit card rates there's no increase in the price (ex. its still P 4,600 before at one time and now at installment)..

  20. Tochie **October 18, 2010 at 12:34 AM

    That means couple of months back pa sila nang-loloko.

  21. CatH \(^_^)/October 18, 2010 at 12:44 AM

    ah..the beauty of business...

    oh well, pero its certainly a beaut w/ this zero installment business...before kc if utangin mo e alam mo kaagad ibang presyo :-)
    so far its the cheapest for 3G Nokia phones...until the next one comes along :-)

  22. CatH \(^_^)/October 21, 2010 at 11:59 AM

    there I was...trying to confirm the network for 2730 if it could be for Japan ..then I got dazzled by the Nokia N8 (funny ad)...for while..until I remembered it was nearing Christmas and my credit cards were put away :-)

    btw Joey, anong balita pala sa camera LX5 dyan? kc dito out of stock pa rin eh...

  29. Joey AquinoOctober 22, 2010 at 2:35 AM

    I will check Lighthaus camera but it would be the Leica version. Kung meron, I will shoot some photos with it and them post them for you.

  30. CatH \(^_^)/October 22, 2010 at 3:22 AM

    hmm...bakit wala pang Panasonic version dyan..or you mean yung suki mo yun lang kina-carry, more on Leica?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Joey AquinoOctober 22, 2010 at 3:35 AM

    Sila kasi ang Leica distributor dito. I heard na baka daw nila i-carry yung Lumix line but nothing has happened. I am really hoping they would carry the Lumix line. Best Buy carries the Lumix line but they don't carry the LX5 nor the LX3. I was interested in the Lumix ZS7 but it is only available online. This one has GPS capability but I don't need that so I ended up buying the Lumix ZS5 for $239.00, $150 less than the ZS7. The Leica version of the ZS7 is the VLux20 and it is $300 more. Never mind na lang.

  32. Joey AquinoOctober 22, 2010 at 3:40 AM

    btw, you might also want to consider the Lumix ZS5. Mas magaan sa bulsa. It has a Leica DC Vario-Elmar lens f3.3 - f4.9. Very sharp too and the zoom is from 24 mm to 300 mm optical zoom. Ang galing. Meron pang Manual setting so you can control your exposure.

    Si Boy Yniguez, he shoots with the ZS7 with great results. Check out his photos. Contact mo ba siya?

    I've finally seen the light -

    spending Php 4, 500 to 4700 to buy a new cellphone just for use in Japan...versus spending the money to eat sa Japan?

    aber? sinong winner? bwahahaha!
