I now have five friends working abroad. Because of this, I’m trying to be ‘OFW-friendly’ by keeping my Yahoo! Messenger signed in at all times on my mobile phone. In order for me to do that, I need a cheap data plan that has an upkeep that I can sustain. I am already paying for a wired DSL connection at home so anything that is within the DSL’s price range is already out of the question.
I’m currently trying the Nokia Messaging data plan with my Nokia C3 through Smart. With this service, I get unlimited IM, email, Facebook and Twitter access for a cheap price. It sounded too good to be true so I really wasn’t surprised once I encountered issues with it, My problem with the service is this… there are times when the connection gets really bad. There were times when IM messages would never actually reach me. If it does reach me, I get the messages after 5-10 minute delays. This is intermittent though. I can attest that when it works, it works fast. But when it doesn’t, well, good luck to you and your phone. If my phone wasn’t new, I would have thrown it at the wall out of frustration.
If worse comes to worst, if I can’t find any good yet cheap messaging service, I will pay for an unreliable wireless broadband service that will cost just as much as my reliable DSL connection. Or I’ll just almost always stay at home.

BTW, I almost bought an iPad. I wonder if I made the wrong decision. Well, anyway, I really can’t pay for it now with all my debts. Let’s consider this again 3 month from now.Yeah, and maybe I’ll get the Playbook instead.

Stay away from an iPad for now, new revision comes out in Q2-Q3 2011.
How about a MB Air?
I think it can play SC2 on the go.
Amf... Prince! Wag mo basahin blog ko! Haha...
Anyway, you are right about the iPad 2 coming out really soon. I was choosing between the iPad and the Samsung Galaxy Tab as the latter can function as a phone. Also, for some unknown reason, the Tab's price dropped significantly. Maybe becuase there were rumors that the Tab is not supported by the upcoming Android 3.0 OS. Hehe...
Langya parang ang yaman ko lang a. Nga pala... worth it ba mag jailbreak ng PS3?
I jailbroke mine this week, copied all my games in the internal HD. Borrowed friends' games. Copied them also. Played multiplayer online flawlessly. Downloaded dead space 2, Little Big planet 2, Nier. So far no issues. Major pro for me is not to swap disks when i want to play.
I think jp's is trying it out this weekend.
