So last weekend, mom and I went to Citylight to get my Smart Bro stick. Well, it’s repaired all right, paid it for PHP330 (including the check up fee), but it wouldn’t work on my netbook. Something went wrong and honestly, I have no idea what or how it came to that.
Anyway, I was told that I need to completely delete all files that’s related to Smart Bro including the registry entries. I did that already, but the damn Smart Bro stick still wouldn’t install. The technician who handled my stick at Citylight has informed me something about my missing “Ports” in Device Manager, which I checked and got also confused. I was wondering if it has something to do with my problem with the Smart Bro stick. Argh.
Anyhoo, I guess I need to reformat my netbook then. Pft. I’ve exhausted any other possibilities of getting my Smart Bro fixed and installed. Oh life.

A very short post.
Smart Bro No Signal, No Auto Run Problem Fixed
So I finally decided to have my Smart Bro stick repaired at CityLight last weekend. According to them when I called up yesterday for follow up, the problem was the software, which I suspected weeks ago, and that I have to pay PHP330 for the repair. I’m not sure if the PHP50 check up is already included in that PHP330. Oh well, atleast my Smart Bro is up and running. I don’t want to buy another stick costing PHP1200!
And speaking of SMART
Regarding our Postpaid application, nada. No calls yet. No units available for our Plan. It’s been a month already and nothing. What’s happening Smart? Should we cancel our application and apply in another branch? Just tell us!

So I finally got my brother his own touch phone yesterday. It’s not as expensive as my current phone, but at least he has a new one. It’s a MyPhone TW1. I bought it for PHP3488 at Gateway Cubao. My brother loves to read books just like me. The reason I wanted to buy him a new phone with a larger screen is because of the ebook feature. And this Myphone TW1 fits the description (and my budget).
Anyway, the phone itself is okay. It runs in JAVA meaning you can install JAVA games and applications for all you want. As for the ebook feature, the only file format that can be read is in .TXT format and so far, the best ebook reader for myphone TW1 is Albite Reader. Camera, well, it’s okay, not what I expected. But it says in the specifications that it has a 3.2 MP. It’s a DUAL SIM phone. Has good WiFi. Oh! It also has a track pad, which comes in handy. Available colors are cappuccino, black and pink.

So far, so good. The only downside about this phone is the resistive screen. You have to touch the LCD a little harder and texting is quite hard (sanayan lang, I guess). I don’t see a “SEND TO MANY” option in their messaging – correct me if I’m wrong (not good for those who are constantly sending Group Messages). No camera flash. It has no motion sensor.
Overall, it’s a good phone if you’re on a budget. Tho, I don’t recommend it for people who are hard core texters and apps lover. Just add a couple of thousands and buy a Samsung Galaxy Y. =) I’ll probably get my brother an Android powered phone soon.
