Due to overwhelming public demand, Techbox Philippines will hold a second ‘Ultimate Nokia Sale’ on April 16-18 at 2299 Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati city.

About a month ago, Techbox Philippines offered a Nokia Sale where up to 80% discounts were offered to the public. Smartphones ranging from entry level to the sophisticated Lumias and Android handsets from Nokia were made available at an incredible low price, much to the public’s delight. Over 3000 Nokia handsets were sold on the last Nokia Sale, with thousands of people lining up to get their hands on the offerings.

“We thought it was the last hurrah – the final chance for Nokia enthusiasts to get smartphones with the Nokia brand on them, before Microsoft floods the market with their own handsets” said Angela Gutierrez, Business Unit Head for Techbox Philippines. “But after the sale, we were totally blown away by the compelling number of people who said they wished they didn’t miss their chance to get their Nokia phones. There were also a lot who knew of others who also wanted Nokias but for some reason weren’t able to come to our sale on those dates. The requests were just overwhelming,” added Angela.

Choosing to act on the demands of the public, Techbox Philippines found a way to give customers what they want. The second part of the clearance sale offers discounts up to 80%, amazing bundles, and a ‘Buy 1, Take 1’ promo on select handsets.

Techbox Philippines is the fastest growing gadget retail chain in the country. They offer trusted handset brands and cellphone accessories at an affordable price.

End of An Era: Techbox Philippines Presents 'The Last of the Nokias'

Tweet

Techbox Philippines will offer a last-chance, limited-time only, knock-your-socks-off clearance sale of Nokia handsets. This will be on March 13-15.

“This is it - the last chance for Nokia enthusiasts to get the last line of smartphones with the Nokia brand on them,” said Angela Gutierrez, Business Unit Head for Techbox Philippines.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, Microsoft announced that it will discontinue the use of the ‘Nokia’ brand in its smartphones – a move that aims to simplify its marketing messages and bring all its smartphone offerings under one brand.

This marks an end of an era – Nokia, a brand synonymous with cellphones for more than two decades and one that pushed the advancement of mobile phones will no longer be present in the handset race. 

“Nokia is one of the most popular mobile phone brands across the globe – especially for us who grew up with the brand. This is a momentous conclusion of a remarkable tech and lifestyle story. Our event will not just be a sale – it’s a tribute to the phone we’ve known and loved since we were kids,” said Angela. 

“This is the best – and last – time to own a Nokia,” she added. 

The clearance sale will not only feature notable discounts on Nokia handsets (up to 80% off); customers can also avail great savings on bundle promos. Select models will also feature a ‘Buy 1, Take 1’ promo. The sale will take place at 2299 Pasong Tamo Extension, Makati city.

How technology helps students study better

Tweet

Schools use computers and the Internet for their classroom resource and it can contribute richness and variety to student work. Computers can support the variety of ways learners construct their own understanding. Students who gather information from the Internet can be self-directed and independent. 

Students in technology-supported classrooms are armed with powerful tools to help them gather information, consult with colleagues, and present their findings.

Teachers and school administrators noted these following improvememts:

Independence and information gathering. By connecting to the Internet, students learn how to do their own research. The wealth of information available on the Web plus the ease of using search engines give students more independence and confidence, as well as increased skill, when it comes to finding relevant data and putting this data together to meet a learning requirement or goal.

Critical thinking and reflection. With the large volume of information that they access, students are induced to learn to think critically: Which information is accurate? Is this information useful to the homework or subject at hand? Is this information validated by multiple sources and by the latest research findings? Students learn not to simply accept any data, no matter how readily available. With the guidance of their teacher, they are able to practice critical thought.

Using Internet-ready tablets and smartphones helps students to think independently and to develop information-gathering skills. Smartphones and tablet devices are available easily and affordably--at big discounts or free with a postpaid plan--at Allphones stores across the country.

Communication and collaboration. Through the exchange of ideas and messages—either by email, chat, or even social media—students are able to collaborate with each other to test their understanding of lessons. They can more easily ask questions to one another and provide answers and share research data. The can also help verify each other’s work. They can also involve their teachers in this collaborative and communication loop.

Communication and collaboration are important both in school and in a career setting. Students who use the Internet and Internet-ready mobile devices like smartphones and tablets develop skills that let them exchange information and collaborate on projects and homework. Help students develop these important life skills by getting them smartphones and tablets--at huge discounts or even for free with a postpaid plan--at Allphones stores across the Philippines. 

More engaging learning experience. Information today is more engaging to the mind and the senses because of its multi-media nature. Students have text, images, video, audio, and even animation to help them better understand concepts and ideas relevant to their lessons. This multi-media experience lets this information be better ingrained in their minds. 

Preparation for jobs later on. The jobs that students will be hired for, and the professions they practice, will require them to have working knowledge of computer use in the workplace, as well as for communication and information processing. Having students use computers and the Internet in the classroom prepares them for this future work environment.

Knowing all of these improvements and advantages, more and more schools are allowing not just desktop computers and laptops, but also tablet devices and smartphones in their classrooms. Tablet devices, as their computing power and multi-media features increase over time, are becoming a preferred tool for learning and instruction.

Students and their classmates can now more easily get the tools they need for computer-assisted, multi-media, and Web-connected learning thanks to affordable and value for money deals on smartphones and tablet devices at Allphones stores. 

Internet-ready smartphones are valuable learning tools for students; these tools can help a student not only find information but to think about such data critically and reflectively. Students are able to assess, evaluate, verify, and cross-check the information that they use in their schoolwork. Allphones stores across the country provide Internet-ready smartphones to students at big discounts--or even for free with a postpaid plan.
