Myphone: Pinoy Pride, Pinoy Heart

Myphone is truly made by and for the Pinoy! When Solid Group, the Filipino manufacturer of the Myphone, launched the T22 Duo just two years ago, I was impressed by the innovative idea. It’s indeed very Pinoy to maintain two SIM cards for a single mobile phone and pull a switch-a-roo whenever necessary. While others would find it funny--if not downright weird--it is not unusual for us to instruct someone to “miss call” first before sending a text message. Why? We want to make sure that the particular number you are sending a message to is active or its corresponding SIM card is currently the one in use. The Myphone T22 Duo, the first dual active SIM phone in the country, has changed all that.

This 2009, Solid Group continues to amaze, taking Pinoy-friendly and “Pinoy pride” several notches higher! With the release of the Myphone Pinoyphone series, I realized just how creative the Filipino mind is. Just when I thought that the Philippines will always fall behind our more technologically advanced Asian brothers, the Pinoy phone seems to prove me wrong (Thank God for that)!

Although I’ve seen ads and ticklers before its launch, it wasn’t until recently that I actually had the chance to try out the Pinoyphone and confirm that THIS is really IT! Who knows better as to what’s important to the typical Pinoy than a kabayan? It’s the only cell phone I know that has jokes, prayers, scriptures, famous movie lines, history, and trivia bits! And as if these weren’t enough, it comes with OPM and videoke, or “sing along,” features that complete its Pinoy signature. I must say that this is one phone that has a heart—a 100% Pinoy heart. Proudly Philippine-made.
