For 5k, I think this is value for money. If you plan to buy the Flare, get this instead. Add na lng ng 1k.

would have been nice if the resolution is at least around 1280 x 720. WVGA just doesn’t look good on a 5′ device. but again for that price range? im not complaining. :)

Another “T” (SK Telekom) Phone like the Dragon Phone?
Looks like we’ll officially have the Sky Vega Racer 2 officially released here.

may problema sa screen ang phone na ito, madaling mag-wash out yung screen from left. Konting tilt lang, nawawala na yung image. Comparing the viewing angles from the right, up and bottom, OK naman sya.

512K doesn’t cut it anymore, at least for me.

I agree. 512kb of RAM couldn’t cut it in 1987 and probably won’t be enough in 2013. =D

For techies out there, I noticed that the CM Hyper is already pre-ROOTED and confirmed it via root checker. So I immediately installed Superuser, ROM manager, Titanium backup, rootappdelete, etc… with no difficulty….
Now I’m planning to check out how Ubuntu linux would work in this phone.

Yung CM Flare ko kabibili ko lang nagkakaroon po ng blot sa lcd screen nya then pinalitan naman tapos nag hahang and ayaw na mag open nakalagay lang sa screen ” Android is updating ” hanggang ma drain, dinala ko sa CM store na binilihan ko inayos ng tech tapos pag uwi ko nag doownload ulet ako ng apps ganun na naman nga biglang nag hang tapos tinaggal ko battery kasi ayaw mag power off pag on ko “Android is updating” na naman nagtataka ako yung apps na nilalagay ko kaparehas lang nung nilagay ko na apps sa CM Flare ko parang hindi nya kaya pero same specs naman ang Hyper ng Flare, kaya magpapalit na lang ako ng unit baka Flare na lang ulet kasi pwede ko daw palitan pag ganun ulet ang problema , baka factory defect sa batch ng lumabas na CM Hyper ?

Feng Shui tea (9): This tea is a combination of traditional oriental
herbs designed to help reduce the body’s susceptibility to electromagnetic stresses.
The shapes of designs also have meanings and symbolism such as
the elephant with wealth and luck. Color television sets emit more EMF
than do black and white sets, yet even the black and white TVs have been associated with 2.
