PuTech Naman!

Wow I think I just found my next phone. Check out the Sony Ericsson Experia X1.

Despite the wow factor of the iPhone interface I’ve been sticking to my old Windows Mobile XDA IIs as I find several things lacking on the iPhone - non removable batteries, phone and sms features are a bit primitive, no 3G, can’t be used as a modem, no cut and paste - if you ask me no phone should call itself a “smart” phone if it can’t even do something as basic as cut and paste. Add to that the fact that I have several windows mobile apps which I can’t do without that can’t be found on the iPhone (I guess Bill Gates or rather Steve Ballmer owns me).

According to Azureus PLDT is guilty of massaging bandwidth of Bittorrent users.

Philippines
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT)

Score Card:
Limits BitTorrent bandwidth: No
Tier 1 partners might shape: No
Proposed Encryption Level: 0
Limits bandwidth for accounts with a high traffic volume: Yes
Limits bandwidth during certain times of the day: No
Prevents Seeding: No
Prevents/filters .torrent download: No
Causes Unsolvable NAT problem: Yes
Offers no real flatrate: No

So far it’s only PLDT that’s guilty of doing this in the Philippines. I suspected they might have started to do this as recently I hardly get over 50k download speeds anymore when before I could get 400k(using a 3.6mbs connection). I guess this confirms it.

Got some time to kill ? Check out Tower Defense 2, I find that this version is a much easier than the first one. I was able to have a perfect game my third time out. It’s still dangerously addictive though so I’m giving you warning before it’s too late…
