Exhibit 4G Phone from Samsung

Now that carriers are battling it out for the most reliable and cost-friendly 4G wireless service, phone manufacturers are also coming out with their latest models that offer the support for the service.  While some products just didn’t click with consumers, maybe due to either design, specifications or just “the feel” of it, various models still keep coming out in the market in the hope to be the “it” phone for the 4G.

Some reports say that this is exclusive to T-mobile subscribers and will be under the $100 mark.  Hopefully something like this phone will also be available in our market too but then again, 4G is still in it’s early stages here.  I am hoping to be able to try said 4G service by end of the year, for sure to be offered by Globe and/or Smart.

 

Online map to Matuod in Lian, Batangas

Last Sunday, we went on a trip to Matuod in Lian, Batangas.  We were very excited about this trip so we left home early at around 5:30 am and hope that we’ll get there by 8am.  If we arrive on time, it will leave about an hour and a half window for my little girl to swim on the beach and play in the sand.

We decided to be online by subscribing to a daily plan from our mobile carrier to try and get as much help from our online maps.  Hubby is using an android and I was using an iPhone so between the two, we were pretty sure we’d get more details out of them.

More details came into view while we were moving but the shot above gave us an idea to which general route to take.  To make the long story short, we made it to our destination by 7:30am, thanks to our maps and to a couple of phone calls to my uncle.  I’m really glad we took this trip.  Seeing the view is simply breathtaking.

Since this trip seems to be a yearly thing, maybe next year we can even use some online roadside assistance too.  I’m pretty sure it’s available in some countries too so hopefully we’re up before our next trip comes.
