Starmobile Navi

Starmobile Navi Review


 I needed a second phone to handle the extra sims that i have. I passed by greenhills and saw the starmobile store after passing by the samsung store. Samsung was pushing a dual core duos for less than 8k. Starmobile had this quad core for 1 peso less than 4k. Silly me for getting pressured to buy so i bought the starmobile navi.  

The specs are in the box. Pretty impressive if you read it particularly for the price. However, specs doesn't necessarily mean that it performs well.


The phone boots so slowly. My cheap alcatel android that i want to replace boots faster. The wifi detected my wifi but it wont connect. I used the gprs to logon to google. Oh, did i mention that there was no user manual? I dont know if they forgot to give me one or there really is no manual. I emailed starmobile support but they haven't replied a day after. Calling their hotline is a bust. They don't answer for a long time. I gave up the call. 


 The case is nice. The screen size is ok.


The free screen protector had the wrong hole for the front camera. I just gave up and sold it for 500 pesos less. I keep forgetting the saying, "you get what you pay for."

Gave up on globe

I was at globe Rockwell last sunday. I got my ticket 5:45PM. I was 8th in line according to the guy. I walked around and went back past 6pm. I asked and they told me I was 9th in line! What sorcery is this?! I decided to wait. A whole bunch of people were called but was not present. I checked with the guy my status and he said that I was next in line. I waited for the last person to finish then lo and behold, they call a different name! I check again with the guy and he tells me that I am now 4th. They don't list down numbers on the screens, just names. Screwed up. Very NOT SMART. People, I'm cancelling my globe number and switching to my smart. If you don't have my number that ends in 111118, please message me. Globe mobile Internet was so slow that I had to get wifi to send this to my FB account. I have been waiting over 2 hours now. This is the globe lifestyle and this is not for me.

Free Apps that are spyware

It seems that some apps are spyware. I was caught with one of them. Immediately deleted it. Why would a flashlight app need access to my messages, settings, calls, location and others.   If you want an android flashlight app, try Torch-Flashlight by Mobile Apps Inc.   If you want to read more, check out:    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2808007/Free-apps-used-spy-millions-phones-Flashlight-program-used-secretly-record-location-phone-content-text-messages.html

Nokia C1

  I bought 3 Nokia C1 units because i thought Nokia is still the old Nokia. I was wrong. The C1 is so slow. It takes time to get  to answer calls slow. Also, it has a bug. It will just stop accepting your passkey or pattern and wont let you in. You'll need to bring it to the shop and have them unlock it for you.  Of the 3 units, only 1 works now. One just wont open anymore and the other manifested the bug and i still cant find out where to send it. I also bought a keypad nokia some time ago. After a year, it wont function properly. Nokia is not the nokia of old. I dont think i'll buy any more nokias in the future.
