Samsung F268 and W510 is a friends of us “We still have so much time to save this earth“. Samsung probably want to endorse us to say just the same word regarding global warming issue. Well, probably I am a little bit late to write this post. Anyway, for a good thing among us, such [...]

No cellphone ads with children or pregnant

Cellphone is not a toy kids! More and more adult will limit cellphone use by children regarding its effect on some specific issues. On May 30, I wrote one issue about cellphone effect that could turn children to become victims of pedophilia. That was on Japan. But now Indian government is also trying to do the same [...]

Japan to limit cellphone use by children

Hey Nobita, don’t use your cellphone too often please! This is very interesting, while American view a cellphone problem from the perspective of health (read my Hello Kitty cellphone case), Japanese seems to pick other issue on the same problem; internet abuse. This is yet another example that cellphone had brought a big impact to Japanese culture [...]

Blackberry goes to South Korea

Are they ready for this Pearl? I think this is a shocking news for me. For as long as two months being a mobile phone blogger in 3GWeek, I’ve just knew that such a high-tech country like South Korea has banned RIM’s Blackberry device in their region. What is this? A nationality issue again? Fortunately it isn’t. [...]

Indosat Mentari IDR0,00. Nice marketing gimmick. How much is that in US$? That’s about IDR 2040000000000 / 9300 = US$ 219.354.838. Ummm, actually this is not so big for company like Microsoft or Google isn’t? Both of them had billion of dollars in their account. Forget it! Congratulation to Indosat (see it via Google Finance) - the [...]

TD-SCDMA: China Mobile vs Qualcomm

This is The CECT G100. TD-SCDMA enabled carriers. So cute isn’t she? Do you know how much such a giant country like China would pay Qualcomm and Co’s for the standard 3G technology license (WCDMA and CDMA-2000)? Nop. So do I. But I bet it will be so big to imagine. And so big that make [...]

Especially the text message spam. Tech Herald reports today via AP that the spam is containing commercial message which was sent to [...]

Forget Qantas, Emirates had done it first
