    Awesome blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a
    little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free
    platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused ..

    Any suggestions? Bless you!

    Information that informs the public and makes them good citizens is the kind
    of quality information that one can be proud
    to call news, and if it ever goes completely out of style, may the Lord help us, for it
    will be the end of civilization as we know it. The effects of
    what they see, read and hear are having a devastating affect on our society today.

    It’s more than just doing the right things or being involved in a good opportunity.

    I have read in other post about samsung giving away free phones from purchasing note 8 on April 13 at Moa. I donno if its true or not. I asked local samsung stores near calamba about that but sadly the staffs doen’t even know the existance of note . That was awkward.

    You’ve made some decent points there. I checked on the web for additional information about the issue and found most people will go along with your views on this site.

  15. Avatar for Lex Lex says:

    I guess you’re right YUGA about the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 being the most likely competitor of the iPod mini. Considering that the sell-point of the note 8 is still the S-pen and any counterpart of the S-pen is unheard off.

    grad gift sana to ng ate ko sakin, till april 15 lang daw pwede sa Cred.card nya. Saan kaya ako makakahanap agad nan maliban sa Samsung store? HIndi kasi tumatangap dun ng BPI 6mo.

    • Avatar for WOOHOO WOOHOO says:

      You can try Memo Express/Xpress(?). I don’t know if the place you live in have a branch on that store but they do accept BPI (I know ’cause I bought an HTC phone there with a 3 month plan)

    If Samsung wants to dethrone iPad Mini, they should lower the price into competitive level. If they persist the 24K price, then goodbye to those valuable costumers, and I’m one of them..

    • Avatar for Abe Olandres Abe Olandres says:

      I think the Galaxy Note 8.0 is not positioned against the iPad Mini. The Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 is their most likely candidate and that’s the one that’s priced competitively.

    Php23,990?!?!… at only 189ppi?!?!… Talo! I’ll just wait for the Nexus 7 2 (or Nexus 7s).

    There are many cheaper alternatives to a 8 inch form factor like the Archos 80 platinum or titanium which costs less than 8k php. Selling a 8.0 tablet at 23k pricetag is too much you can get an ipad already or a laptop or a nexus 10 : ) so goodluck to samsung sales of 8.0 tab : )

  27. Avatar for sandbox sandbox says:

    Waaayyyy overpriced. Goodluck selling it : )

    Mighty high price so it won’t displace the iPad Mini then.

    ouch what happened to the estimated price of 18k sir?

    • Avatar for 3G 3G says:

      well, it is 3G. Could be 18k if it was WiFi only, similar to the iPad Mini (21 for data, 15 for wifi)
