The Nokia V50 Firmware

Hi! It's me Joan again and I am not going to sell you computers, furniture, appliances or motorcycles in the Philippines! But I am going to tell you about the latest NOKIA update... Totally off my regular topics.

If you remember my old post about voiding your Nokia warranty, then here's another reason why you should really change your product code.

Nokia recently released a new Firmware upgrade.  So, of course, I immediately upgraded my firmware to the latest version and I really love it!!!  Now I have the V50.


What's new? Well, I guess the best feature is the kinetic main menu! This was not available in the V40 upgrade.  Now even my main menu has kinetic scrolling!

You will also notice that the music player's layout is nicer.  I love my phone more than ever!

Go Nokia!

Now back to my advertisement:  If you have relatives or loved ones in the Philippines and you would like to give them gifts like computers, furniture, appliances and motorcycles, then go visit EMCOR!  The number one retail appliance store in the Philippines!

The Home Appliance Online Market

Buying home appliances in the Philippines is now made easier, as more and more appliance retail companies have pushed the envelope further in terms of providing quality product and services to their valued customers. Most of these companies have now employed the use of the internet and has fashioned informative websites to showcase their products and services online. Both repeat buyers and probable customers alike can instantly shop right in the luxury of their homes with just a click of a button.

Moreover, as appliance retail companies continue to harness the potentials of the online market and innovate marketing through the use of websites, doing so has provided a great deal of convenience to many Filipinos overseas. Through these websites, Filipinos abroad can easily buy home appliances for their loved ones back in the Philippines without having to shell out cash, or having to wait until their return home; thus, saving an ample amount of time, effort and at the same time, money. In addition, these efforts by the appliance retail companies open new opportunities for these Filipinos abroad to show how much they really care for their loved ones even from a long distance.

Now, when buying home appliances in the Philippines, either domestically or from overseas, one must be very particular on choosing the right appliance retail store. A store that provides quality products, efficient service, and with a good reputation to back it all up should always be taken into consideration so that hard earned money will never go to waste.

Void Your Nokia 5800 Warranty (But you get the v40 firmware)

I recently bought a Nokia 5800 phone. I am very happy with the features and the capabilities. I once had a 21-hour session with the phone just to discover its limits.

Just this week, the Nokia 5800 firmware update v40.0.005 was released. Exciting new features include:

• 5530 homescreen
• kinetic scrolling (dream come true for most users including yours truly)
• QWERTY-landscape/multi-tap-portrait auto change
• plus a host of other programs

The whole blogging community was abuzz with this long-awaited update and I'm sure many have already tried downloading the update.
The bad news is: it is available only to a limited number of phone products...

Annoying Text Messages from Suncellular 205

SMS or text messaging has got to be one of the best innovations offered to the public. With us Filipinos being so kuripot with our expenses, the P1 charge per text message is actually heaven sent.

Then came SunCellular! With their unlimited texts and talk time, cellphone users have become more and more "talkative!" I bless SunCellular for being so generous with their offers and I challenge other cellphone companies to do the same. SunCellular is a classic example of competition in action! Not like the Big 3 oil companies... (well, this is another topic). I have actually discontinued my Globe and Smart subscriptions because they just add to my unnecessary expenses. I now have two SunCell postpaid lines.

But, unfortunately, with great offers come great nuances. Especially spam text messages from the same company that I have grown to love.

Another day gone... will be back soon!

The Philippine Appliance Industry

The global economic crisis has undoubtedly affected the Philippine appliance industry. Ever since this crisis hit the world, the Philippines has not been immune to its effects. Many institutions were forced to close and some started laying-off their employees. While others continue to face the challenges that the economic crisis brings, there are daily competitions that will have to be faced on who will dominate the business.

Many appliance stores in the Philippines have adapted various marketing strategies on how to keep up and be competitive with other business institutions, maximize their profit and attract more customers. Selling retail appliances in the Philippines is hard to handle because there are already many well known and established competitors. Some competitors have the power to attract more customers simply because of their name and the quality of the services rendered to customers. A company with long years of experience doesn’t necessarily mean that they will lead in the business industry. But companies with expert managing, a well planned and executed marketing strategy and those with good quality products and services rendered to customers will most likely be the ones to succeed.

The global economic storm may be far from over, but by simply adapting fair business practices, any Philippine appliance company can and will be able to whether it successfuly
