I was very excited to receive one of the first Nokia N91s to come into the country a few weeks ago. I was made aware that it was amongst, if not the first unit to arrive via a letter accompanying it saying so.

If it weren’t for aforementioned quality issues, I’d recommend the Amoi Blue M626, especially at the competitive Php46,000.00 SRP. However due to such, and the fact they don’t make even bother to provide English manuals, I’d say keep away.

I think the Acer 3242WXMi now has some competition after I took this one out of the box last night. At this very moment, it’s sitting on the desk running on batteries, with all the screensavers and power saving options turned off so I could time how long it takes till it dies.

Taking a quick break right now from reviewing the gadgets to post my first notes about the Acer Travelmate 3242WXMi, the first model I’ve tried.

There’s a ‘Travelmate 3240’ tag at the lower right side of the monitor. This indicates the series, and ‘3242WXMi’ is the model within that series. I think there are 27 different series from the 2400 to the 8200, with several different types of models falling under each.

It’s unclear how many are in the 3240 series, as neither the Taiwan or Philippine Acer website neglects to mention it. In fact, the Philippine Acer site doesn’t even list the 3242WXMi at all, instead offering 10 other models.

From what I’ve discerned, there are four Series, namely the Travelmate, Tablet PC, Aspire, and Ferrari . I haven’t really determined the diff between Aspire and Travelmate, but I’ll get there soon enough.

Why I’m putting this one back in the box.
