    sana magkaroon ng webos phone dto sa pinas. globe sana magawan ito ng paraan.

  2. Mark says:

    where can i buy this hp veer here in the Philippines, i want this one.. Tnx!!

  3. vince says:

    Why not just ditch the endorser and use the $1m to subsidize (reduce the price) of the product. Lalong bebenta yan kasi mas mura

  4. Jun says:

    Nagkakahalaga daw yan ng $400 or P16K.
    Medyo mahal para sa akin. Intayin ko na lang ang imitation ng China phone. (Joke)

  5. JCO says:

    The HP Veer was released last month sa US. AT&T nga lang yung carrier and there is no unlocked version pa. Superb yung webOS na platform but it really need apps pa talaga…wait till the HP TouchPad is released din.

  6. da says:

    kadiri to si pacquiao… nag-e-endorse ng ewan na cellphone hahaha. pera din eh.

    • knee loat says:

      @da : sure ka ba talaga sa sinasabi mo? ni hindi mo pa nga nahawakan yang veer eh…

    • Jun says:

      Hello, HP is very well known in their products such as Printer, computer monitor, desktops, laptops, scanner, Fax, Ink tonner, smartphone and software.

    • Mark says:

      Hey before insulting this phone, did you know the notification system of this phone is currently the best? But I agree it needs more developer support and a more updated hardware

  7. knee loat says:

    released na siya sa US last May 15 [Veer] then to be announced pa young Pre 3… hmmp…

  8. 21 says:

    Palm has a very limited apps like BADA. Better go to android if that matters to you.
    Great commercial though, PAcman improved a lot.

  9. damaso says:

    $1 million fee kasi nahirapan si Manny mag Ingles

  10. benchmark says:

    It made me smile while watching the ad. :) Ang galing ng Pilipino! :)

    Go Pacman! (errr not HP Veer????? hehehe)

    Regarding sa phone…I am not sure…maybe maganda sya, though screen size is small plus fixed focus cam, but the specs are good. Well I hope the price is not as high as Pacman’s endorsment….nako..baka dun bawiin sa price ng phone hehehehe

  11. mr. bogus says:

    galing mo sumapak man!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

  12. fragglerocker says:

    hehehe.. sabi ni manny.. little guys can pac a punch =). galing

  13. Edwin C says:

    Baka katulad lang ni Pacquiao makakabili nito- mga mayayaman.

    • Mon says:

      kasing price point ata ‘to nung initial price ng x10 mini and mini pro. so around P15k. sayang nga lang walang Palm WebOS phones sa Pinas. I want one. :)

  14. jhoravi says:

    1 million dollars? = 40+ million pesos! Pero 40+ bags lang yan ni aling D :)

  15. adam says:

    Ano kaya ang price?

    • knee loat says:

      $449.99 ung veer… then $599.99 yung pre 3.

  16. roiji says:

    para sa AT&T naman pala eh…
    edi bye bye na siya sa BB phone nyang nakikita ko sa TV na hawak nya?? hmmmmmmmmm………

  17. fitzz says:

    He should stick to the “sweet science”.

  18. Messie says:

    Actually, I’ve read good reviews on Palm’s OS in terms of UI and functionality. App development na lang ang kulang for this which, during these days, is a big point to consider.

  19. Paul says:

    Small smartphone is small.

  20. John Carl says:

    Sir Abe, you accidentally typed “HV” instead of “HP” in the title. :)

  21. dan says:

    maganda lang yung commercial.

  22. hey says:

    WOW. Who could have thought that talking in front of the camera for 30 seconds would make you a million dollar richer. Awesome.

  23. mikey says:

    awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! the commercial i mean.

  24. Noir says:

    Hmm and I thought it was running on Android.

    Didnt expect the commercial to be like that though :D
