Just a month ago Nokia Launched the newest addition to the Asha Family, The Nokia Asha 501 Dual Sim. , the first smartphone built on the new Asha platform, will give people a cool fast and fun mobile experience.

It will be available in the Philippines starting today in the retail and coming soon with operators’ postpaid plans.

This smartphone features the durable and removable Nokia shell and a Gorilla Glass scratch-resistant three-inch capacitive touchscreen. Its unprecedented battery life keeps users connected with up to 26 days of standby time and up to 17 hours of talk time. These highlights make the Nokia Asha 501 Dual SIM a great option for young people that really need to be connected on the go.

The Nokia Asha 501 Dual SIM also comes with WLAN that easily connects to hotspots in malls, schools and at home. The built in Facebook and Twitter apps and the 3.2MP camera with 5-in-1 filters app enable creative posts and updates. It also comes with a 4GB memory card gives you lots of space to store pictures, videos & MP3 playlists, and you can easily upgrade to 32GB to save even more memories.

“Undoubtedly, the Nokia Asha 501 is a smartphone that combines an enticing design with performance and a totally new way to stay mobile with Fastlane”, highlighted Karel Holub, General Manager of Nokia in Philippines. “Its exclusive Fastlane view provides a timeline of activities and events in the recent past, present and near future. This innovative feature makes it easier to start where you left off and plan ahead with just a simple swipe”.

Adding Super Pocket value to the great design

Weighting only 98 grams, Nokia Asha 501 DS comes with Facebook, Twitter and The Weather Channel preloaded.

Smart Nokia Lumia: AfterParty

Went with Jay Michelle Pineda and Paul Lawrence Castro.

The event was hosted by Rhian Ramos and KC Montero.

She's my very lovely date for the night. Totally had fun with her.

BTW, she is my childhood friend so no malice. lol.

Let the party COMMENCE! (talkin' like a new grad... oh yeah!)

I just came from a 24 hours duty this day and I had to go back from QC to Cavite to of course bathe and change my clothes then I had to fetch Jay from her house then head to Republiq immediately to meet Lawrence and the rest of the gang. If you know me (the narcoleptic me), you may not believe that I had myself awake for 48 hours! (wooot!), yes quite an achievement for me lol.

T'was a great party jumpacked with great crowd! awesome way to celebrate the ending of my internship. I am very happy to be back on the scene! I am so sorry for not blogging that much lately... it is because I was so busy with requirements and internship.

Anyways, just so you guys would have an idea... The new Nokia Lumia is a Windows Phone OS-Powered Smartphone that will let you be into-the-know in a much conducive way as like using a usual laptop and to top it all off, we all know that Nokia has a very good camera that captures great pictures and now since it is a smartphone, you can readily share it anytime and anywhere!

Well so far, I haven't heard a bad review about it.

So what do you think about it? Feel free to comment it here!

Thank you to Miko Carreon for letting me borrow some of the pictures!

Hosting the event.

LET THE FINGER GAMES BEGIN!

Starting with this one:

All they have to do is to feed each other (there are 3 people ina  group) not themselves of a jar of fruits (I think they are fruits). They had to use latex gloves for hygiene purposes.

Congratulations to the group of Bianca Valerio!

With the awesome Carlos Concepcion.

Now, for the next game all they have to do is make Sam YG Smile using their finger.

I guess none of them won. lol.

Mike Smith, NOKIA N9 Product Manager.

Louie Ang of Smart gave NOKIA N9 to three lucky people.

Honestly, I was hoping I'd get to win this!

Nokia N9 is a really good smartphone!

It is available in these colors.

I always go with the classic black.

I can remember my first phone and it was a smartphone. Yes, 10 years ago when everybody is hovering on Nokia 3210's I was already on smartphones and that was by Smart.

Nowadays in the world where we have to do things simultaneously multitasking (redundant but well justified in my point of view), we just have to have something that will keep us organized, most especially updated and so if you think having smartphones is a luxury, well think again!

I am using Blackberry as of the moment, the one that was just released this year and it is functioning very well (I can already consider it as my bestfriend), but seeing this Smartphone from Nokia I suddenly have the urge of getting it, don't get me wrong, I am a person that can be contented it is just that N9 is that great!

So you guys better check it out.

It's so sad how my internship could be an interference with my social life, wished I could have stayed longer and spend the night together with my blogger friends.

Thanks to Connect Agency once again!
