Going Beyond Limits with Native Union Pop Phones

I've been using my iPhone5 for quite a while now and I've had a number of problems before, but it's all running smoothly after Globe got that replaced. I must have had a lemon.Then again I have other issues with it; with the rate of calls I'm getting I'm so afraid I'll get a brain tumor pretty soon. The radiation from cellular phones according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is possibly carcinogenic. It is still under study, but I won't have to gamble with that by using this Native Union Pop Phone handset - it's compatible with all of my devices that's got a 3.5mm jack. I already have one these and use it religiously for my iPad to answer local and international calls on Skype and my VOIP lines. Now I'm using this neon green one for my iPhone5. It's got a very retro feel and its overall look doesn't compromise its function because it presents more than that.

 

This handset is also made for Native Union by award winning designer David Turpin. He's worked with other multinational companies and have already made quite remarkable achievements for over 20 years in the industry. His style I must say is modern and chic.

The box contains the handset with the cable and jack permanently attached to it. It's also got some simple instructions, but I doubt you would even need that. This is pretty elementary. Just stick it in and use it just like any headset or mic.

It's also got something on the side + inside as a guarantee for authenticity. So if you ever have problems with it, you'll be spared from even thinking that this piece of hardware is a fake. Unfortunately, the Asian region is full of counterfeit products and this would surely be a deterrent.

The handset itself is VERY comfortable. The outside material is like skin, rubbery but won't hurt any body parts even if used for a long time.

The middle part where you see this metal button is a clicker that's used as a plunger. You can also use this to answer calls if you plan to use this on Skype like what I did.

The earpiece and microphone doesn't just plainly function as what its supposed to, it also has its own embedded Noise Reduction System that makes sure you hear each other better. I even used it for music (to test) and it was quite clear.

The standard 3.5mm jack fits perfectly on my iPhone5. Though if you have different ports on your phone for audio, the brand has adapters you can use instead. It's available on the Native Union official website too.

What's best is that this particular device can stand alone, so if you need to access your other apps on the phone... you are free to do that. Skype? It's clear because of the high quality speaker and microphone they use on these handsets. You can't stop that while its going. Plus it works with almost every gadget that I use with it. Convenience is priceless.

The Native Union Pop Phone Collection is available in Aquamarine, Lavender, Mint, Jet Black. There are probably more color choices in Neon Retro, you can check that out in authorized resellers Beyond the Box, Digital Hub or Digital Walker stores nationwide.

The "Western Union - Kumagcow How Connected You Are" Challenge

It's time, it's time! We're going to do the contest today so I need you to do a couple of things before everything else; but don't worry I'll keep this simple!

Instructions:

This contest is open only to residents of Metro Manila/nearby provinces who must be willing to pick up their prizes in a designated meeting place within the metro. (No, if you can't pick it up we'll probably give it to someone else who can so don't ask if you would like to just send representatives okay?!)

1. Go to http://www.westernunionworld.com/yourworld/ and allow the application so you can see how connected you are in Your World. Simply click the button on top that says Post to Facebook and it will indicate your Country Rank. Take note of it. Get that information and place a comment on the Kumagcow wall in this format.

I'm the "#Country Rank"th most connected person in the Philippines. Thank you for letting me know Western Union and Kumagcow!

(make sure the Kumagcow page located at http://www.facebook.com/kumagcow is tagged throughout the duration of the contest okay?! because I'll get your names there. Tip: if it doesn't load the application right away on the Western Union site, try pressing F5 or Refresh. It takes time if you have lots of friends so be patient.)

2. Answer this question by commenting on that same post on my wall.

What are the 3 pages/sections of westernunionworld.com? Clue: Our H______y, Our W_____d, Your W_____d.


It's as simple as that!

After I get your names through the Kumagcow page I'll pick up One Winner who will get 2,000 Pesos worth of SODEXHO gift certificates.

It's accepted in a lot of stores nationwide so it's as good as cash!

Deadline for entries will be on August 21, 2011 at exactly 12 PM so make sure you join this one okay?! Winner will be drawn through video witnessed by my parents/relatives. This will also be posted on my website http://www.kumagcow.com.

Note: Sorry I can't allow my relatives to join this contest!

Aren't you excited?! I know I am! :)

Thank you so much to our friends at Western Union Philippines for making this possible!

Capisce?!

The Western Union Network Challenge

Do you know how connected you are in Facebook vs the world?!
Their app can literally get that information, show it to you and more!

Life lessons can be learned from experience and we can't have enough of it. History in itself explains the who, what, when, where and how's of the country you live in and I'm glad I live in a noble one called The Philippines. Today, we have a few million people living outside the country that still send help to their relatives/friends here and it's like part of the culture. Almost every family in our 80 million strong population have one or two relatives elsewhere in the world and that plays a significant part in nation building; a fact that Western Union knows. They made a site that would graphically explain everything to the ordinary Juan/Pedro. Initiatives that impressed people like me who spends quite a lot of time in the blue collared industry.

You can also see graphical representations of different economic aspects here and around the world. You can see how ours fare versus other nations. You will see how much aid a country gets, export growth, foreign investment, remittances, GDP rates, import growth and population. This is essential to predicting and verifying the economic stability of a country. Without looking at previous data and comparing them to the current one today: not a single member would make sense.

When asked about the application and the site about its incapacity to earn or generate income, Ms. Angela Heng VP for Corporate Affairs said that they are doing this as service to help people better understand Western Union and its history. What a noble gesture from one great corporation celebrating it's 160th year in the business.


Since Western Union is one of the world's most connected corporations, they are looking for the most networked person in the world by the use of the Social Media network Facebook and a site they dedicated for this located at http://www.westernunionworld.com/yourworld. You can compare with your friends and show them how globally connected you are. Check out your Facebook photos after using the application and you'll get an idea how connected you are (in photos) too! Your personal score will also contribute to your respective country of residence; so the app will soon know who's the most geographically connected country.

I have my friends and family in around 29 countries around the world; and it was shown there too!

Since the Philippines is one of the most well connected people in the world, Western Union is using the data to be gathered with this application to also know how we would rank against other countries. If their theories are correct we probably would place second to one or more first world countries. Pretty amazing if you ask me. Would you want to rank first? Why don't you visit the site and use the application now; tell me how you fare against other Pinoys and people across the globe!

These guys already took the challenge; so why don't you?!

P.S.

Thanks to the generous people at Western Union because we'll have a contest about this! That's coming up in a few days! Watch out for that! =)


Capisce?!
