yes mudra! available na ang iPhone 3g sa Globe starting August 22!!! pero teka teka! alam mo ba kung magkano ang babayaran mo? hmmm… sa pinaka murang line (na Plan 500), 29k  or 34.5k. sa pinamakahal na line (Plan 2500) 20k or 25.5k. anak ng siopao! eh, pwede bang libre na lang? pwedeng pwede! yaan eh kung kaya mong magbayad ng limang libo (5k) pataas bilang monthly service fee. hmmm… 5,000 x 24 months lockin period=120,000!!!

ngiii! ang mahal! at maraming nagsasabi na di makatarungan. oh well, you pay the price for being “IN”. kaya ako, OUT na lang. i’m so much happier sa HTC Tytn II ko. at di magpapakandarapa sa pagbili ng iPhone 3g. pero kung afford nyo, larga! bili! kaskas sa creditcard! =)

i currently have an HTC Tytn II running WM6.1. trouble is, it won’t sync my calendar from my office pc. took me a bit of time to figure out what’s wrong. but after a bit of experimenting and research, i came to conclude that the sysgate firewall that is installed in my office laptop is the culprit. to fix it, you should install a registry editor to your pocket pc (like resco registry editor that comes with the resco explorer installation). after installing it, you must change the following settings using the registry editor:
*Registry Sub Key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\RND IS]
Name of the Value to add: MTU

Type : DWORD Data: 1514 (Value is Decimal)

*Registry Sub Key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\RND IS]
Name of the Value to add: MaxOutTransfer

Type: DWORD Data: 1642 (Value is Decimal)

Just do a soft reset of the pocket pc. afterwhich, connect to the  pocket pc to your laptop and you should be able to connect without any issues.
