 Nokia recently announce the latest firmware updates that they'll be releasing for their ex-flagships N-series phones. I have been waiting for an update since the V31 for my N82 and was glad about this upcoming updates. At first, I thought it would just be the N95 who's lucky to have an update but when I dig in over the web, I found out that even my N82 will have a brand new update to V35. I haven't updated my phone actually to V31 since I don't want to hack it again to install unsigned applications to mobile phone. Its not that I don't know how to do it, its just that I am tired of doing it and I don't have my own computer to install the NSU.

The past few weeks, I have been longing for an update to my N82 maybe because I'm tired of the V22 on my phone. With this brand new update, V35, I will make sure that I'm gonna have this update on my phone. I hope this new update will fix some minor issues on my N82. I'm still waiting for some elite hackers who can be able to reverse engineer this new firmware update of Nokia's ex-flagship phones N95 and N82. I will update soon once I found some hack for the V35!

I was blog hopping last week when I was at work since we don't have much of work loads. I was reading my feed subscriptions in Google Reader and noticed this new blog entry from Batang Yagit. Batang Yagit to those who doesn't know, is one of the most read blog in the Philippines. Going back to the post I mentioned, its all about a Christmas Gift that Batang Yagit will be giving out to his readers. There's a catch though, you will have to join the contest weekly to win the prizes. That's the challenge there. You must exert a little effort to win prizes. The first gift is a Schützen® Notebook, a locally produced notebook with an elegant and synthetic leather cover.

The first contest is too easy, you just have to fill-in the bubble thought of Batang Yagit. I tried my luck and replied to the post saying, "Yagit nga, blogger naman!". Not realizing that that line will be the choice of  Batang Yagit and his Friends. I am glad that I won the contest. To be honest, it was my first time winning a contest both online and in real life. Lol. Thanks to Batang Yagit and to Hildebrand for the Notebook!

Few weeks before, I have been continuing my search of a lens for my mobile phone's camera. Been wanting to have one since I'm into photography too. There's a lot of option available over the internet but I don't have credit card to buy them online. And those lenses are only available overseas. So, that's gonna cost me the price of the product plus the shipping fee. I'm done with the local malls. A forum member at Symbianize once told me that there's an available Optical Lens for Mobile Phone in Mall of Asia. I went there and find the store but didn't have any luck at all. Then I went back online to find some lens again.

Searched at Google about "Lens for N82" and it gave me a lot of results. Then one result struck me saying Jelly Lens for your Mobile Phone and Camera. I checked on it and I thought that its cool. Its a fancy little lens that you have to mount at the lens of your mobile phone. You can even use this on your camera phone. I bought 4 Jelly lenses at a local mall. One is for Macro, the other one is for Fish Eye, the third one is for Spark and the last one is Polarizer. I am really enjoying the Macro lens and the Fish Eye lens. I was so amazed that this fancy little lens can be able to satisfy my need. The Fish Eye is good for lomography too. The only con that I have noticed is that the jelly loses its stickiness fast and also, it doesn't fit that good in the lens of my N82 phone. I'm so jealous with my friend's phone because my lens fits well on their phone. So I'm planning to buy a low-end mobile phone but have a good camera for me to use the lens on them. I already have a sample shots in my Facebook account.

Local Mobile phone service providers has announced their recent charging system for voice calls. Initial connection rate of P3 will be charge for the first 12 seconds and P0.56 in every succeeding 6 seconds. This new rate system has been rumored during the previous weekend and is now being made possible with the help of NTC (National Telecommunications Commision) and of course by Globe, Smart and Sun Cellular.
