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.
