Cruising at Manila Bay with Prestige

PICS SOON.

At the time of this writing, I have already read a number of negative reviews. I have only claimed the vouchers near the end of the voucher's validity because we didn't already plan to claim the vouchers anymore (too much hassle).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This voucher was the first or second voucher we bought via Metrodeal, a group buying site. I was still thinking whether it was a good deal but my mother said, buy it, it looks okay. Well, since she paid for it, why not. Payment was hassle-free, the vouchers were already immediately in my account. At that time, the vouchers sold was probably 10,000 already. Until it ended at 40,000+, I thought, "S***, how are we claiming these vouchers?"

Time passed when we even busy with school and at the same time the negative reviews were spreading like wildfire. I have read some and of course they were disappointed, it wasn't like the pictures. I told my mom that it was probably time to claim the vouchers, but every time we trued to call them they were busy, it was too much hassle and I've read that some even went to the area just to reserve. Of course, we already knew that the dates we wanted were probably unavailable anymore. And to think how will they accommodate the people who bought (It turns out they counted weekdays. But seriously who would go on weekdays, most have work the next day, children have school and etc.). Until time came when the validity of the voucher will come to the end. My mom said, why not ask for a refund since they did fail to answer the calls and viola, emailing them was actually much secure than calling them. In the end, we claimed the voucher.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We went to this cruise because I really didn't want to waste the money we've spend for this treat. Even though we already kind of knew what we will be going to, we just made jokes out of it.

We arrived at the venue and saw 2 cruises available and 1 yacht rental. Prestige, with the most people. Like us, the others were also claiming their vouchers. We waited till the 4pm-6pm people were leaving the ship. They called each group by name (depending on when you've registered) and you can choose to either sit at the second floor or first floor (where the food was), because the third floor was probably for people who paid for extra? or the captain's quarter. Finally, after are name was called, we decided to just sit at the first floor because we can get food faster. The cruise leaves around 6:00pm-6:05pm (Still punctual). We waited for a while before the food was served and considering that it was a first experience for us (even though it didn't really match the stock picture), it was fine. Though there were times the sea smelled like trash. Food was served and as expected, a long queue formed and the last ones, you could see were pretty angry.

The food consisted of some rice, soup, chicken, wet vegetables and some dry vegetables. Very disappointing choices, wasn't appetizing, but can make you full if you could get a lot. What I didn't expected was that the dessert was Brownies Unlimited! (I was already expecting Fibisco cookies)

Of course, since we rode the 6pm-8pm cruise, the boat went to a good spot to watch MOA's fireworks.

Because we didn't sit at the second floor, I didn't know what was going on there. But there were songs and a MC talking, there was also probably someone with a birthday.

Overall, it was a nice experience, aside from the food, sea breeze. (The chicken was edible so I liked that better, not delicious, but edible.)

Drinks were overcharged as expected.

**I'm not that picky with food as long as it's edible though I'm picky on what type of food I eat, which explains why I didn't like the vegetables. At least, it was chicken, it looked like fish, the type I really hate.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem with this offer was again the stock picture and description. They hired a good creative writer that the words became imaginary impossible.

The stock picture looked so scrumptious. The boat looked somewhat the same but the picture is edited. Expectations was high, of course, why wouldn't it be? Have you read the description?

Like this one, "So while you enjoy exquisite dishes such as the mouthwatering Pot Roast, the delicious Pollo Antonio or various heavenly cake selections as desert among others, you'll experience a fascinating ambience that will also guarantee you a visual feast, while the cruise ship, which has space for up to 200 people, settles gently into the Manila Bay." and "The restaurant's extravagant dinner buffet celebrates traditional Filipino recipes, but house specialties also include other internationally-inspired dishes. They serve the very best in authentic dishes, all of which is prepared freshly on the premises by their experienced and talented team of chefs. The buffet is packed full of flavour, using top ingredients and classic Filipino technique to form the modern approach to the enjoyment of food. This is fine-dining on the sea without it being stuffy."

Even the title "Unique and Delicious" is right... Somewhat Unique but not delicious.

YES, more or less the whole article is too good to be TRUE.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think Prestige is trying anyway to accommodate the people who still have vouchers since they have 3 shifts these last few days.

In the end, rather than getting customers, they just piled up a lot of angry ones.

Chef Vince's Kitchen via Ebay Kuponan

Yesterday, we tried out Chef Vince at Banawe, Quezon City. Luckily they accepted the vouchers (brought from eBay Kuponan) exactly on Christmas day.

Chef Vince's Kitchen is a Chinese restaurant which offers Ala Carte and Eat All You Can (also serves a few Filipino food) . Our vouchers were for Ala Carte and these were what we ordered.

The following may not be considered a review because I just went on with my Asado paradise. These are usually what we order at Chinese restaurants.
Enjoy the pictures :) (Brothers took some food since they were already very hungry)

Pork Asado, this is what I always order at Chinese restaurants. I grew up with this dish, so happy that they have Hoisin sauce paired up with it. Just right, there were little fats and the slice is thick.

Yang Chow Fried Rice.

Sate Chami. It was only recently that my mom started to order this dish, probably because my brother liked it from somewhere. (Personally would prefer beef hofan) With this dish, it made me realize how bad my tongue reacts with spices. (According to them, it was only a slit of spice, for me, it burned my tongue).

It's either this Spinach Soup ( I think they called it Green Seaweed Soup (?)) or Fish Lip Soup which we usually order. Not half bad, it was quite tasty.

Worst picture in here, worst than the Chami (which is slightly blurred). I don't know why but the soup looks different. This is only one serving, btw.

Salt and Pepper Fish ... I didn't try this one.

Pros: *We ordered Large servings and gladly they didn't remove the LARGE in the servings.
* We had to wait a while for the food, but at least, it was served hot.
*The price is just right for the serving and the food is not bad.

Cons: *The only thing that irritated me was the moving/jumping tables. I don't know why, but usually it happens at Chinese restaurants.
*We wanted some dishes, but they weren't available. (It was probably because they are more of the Buffet type)

Ebay Kuponan is one of the easiest and SLOWEST ( usually, it only takes less than 24 hours to receive the vouchers, but if I remember correctly, it took 2-3 days and the confirmation arrived a day after )transactions I had. Having an eBay account, I just had to press a few buttons, pay via paypal and wait for the vouchers. This is my second transaction with Kuponan (first one was through Cheesecake factory which was hassle-free) .

** Already read some reviews on shipping, can't say anything, Xend is usually slow on shipping (Metro Manila = 2 days) and it's Christmas season.

Don't forget to bring the requirements (like IDs) , there are some who aren't strict and will only ask for the voucher.

Would also like to credit Lightbox for the pictures ( It's become my new camera, takes super awesome pictures ♥♥♥)

Review on Atsu Atsu Ramen

Okay, I'll just review Ensogo very quickly because I'm very disappointed.

Payment: Via Paypal.
Voucher: Got it after I paid.
Usage at Atsu: Well, they are very much aware on what to do with the voucher.

Well, before we start, I just want to inform you all that I'm an amateur photographer and am not good at editing pictures. (if I just had a better camera and skills >.>)

On June 29, 2011, just to enlighten me before I do my readings and before the voucher expires (expiration: July 1, 2011), me, my brother, and mom ate at Atsu Atsu Ramen located at Araneta Ave. The reason why we ate on June 29, 2011 was because we didn't really have the time to go there in the past. My brother and I didn't have a Wednesday class so we thought it would be the best time. My other brother had school, so it's just the three of us.

It was lunch time and one of the worst times to ride the jeep. Because I had to replace something before I got there, I was pretty exhausted on the way to the restaurant. And when I went in, "It was hot in the restaurant." The air conditioning was weak, but I think it was just plain HOT.

Just a quick summary, one day I saw the Atsu signboard in Araneta Avenue. I asked my mom if we can eat there. She said, "I think it's closed." Well, luckily, Ensogo offered vouchers for this restaurant and me, wanting to try it out so bad asked her if I can buy it. And the rest is history.

Pictures of the Place

The place is actually a block of trailer vans. I can't say that I felt cozy since it was HOT. But aside from that, the place is presentable.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Front Menu.

Plate

Just wanted to include it here since I find it cute.

Service Tea

I requested for this.

Ice Tea

I'm not really sure how much this is, if it's an Ensogo only or this is the Zen Ice tea.
For me, I don't know. Maybe because I went there really tired, it tasted like water at first.
Not too sweet.

Garlic Rice
(Php 50)

When you hear Garlic Rice, you would expect the taste of Garlic, but not this one.
Which is good for me since I'm not fond of Garlic Rice.

Mini Salad
(Just an Ensogo voucher promo)

I didn't really taste this one, my mom and brother hog these two salads.
From their comment "It's like coleslaw, the only difference was the dressing. Not bad."

Tokyo Ramen for two
(Priced at Php 240)

It was either this or Seafood Ramen, but since my brother is allergic to seafood,
we chose this one.

Delicious. Generous portions of toppings. The noodles were not soggy.
The soup stock was just right. Definitely what made Atsu Atsu stand out.
Just enough for the three of us.

Ebi Tempura
(Php 170)

We paid extra for this one. My mom said it reminded her of
Camaron Rebosado rather than Tempura.
The sauce tastes bland.

Gyoza
(This Gyoza is a special service included in the Ensogo voucher,
the Gyoza is their menu is 5pcs for Php 85)

GOOD!


Coffee Jelly
(Personally, I think this is another Ensogo voucher only. Menu price is Php 80.)

Just the right desert to end the meal.

If you guys didn't notice, there was no main dish. Yes, there's tempura, but... we paid for it. Tonkatsu was missing, it wasn't served as stated in the voucher. I just noticed it when I went home. You guys just don't know how irked I was. I am a fine print believer, just because we ordered Tempura doesn't mean that you won't serve us what was written in the fine print. And yes, just because of that, I can't describe how disappointed I am, because I was really, really excited to eat at this place.

I know it's still my wrong since I didn't check my vouchers, but still! Its sh*t to not follow everything in the voucher since it's clearly written and I trusted them that they would follow. (Well, the other Ensogo-tied establishment - which I haven't finished writing- did everything in the fine print, so I didn't bother to check).

Lesson learned: Read, Reread, Recheck and Remember everything in the voucher. (or rather bring a copy of the voucher)

Sulit rating with the voucher? Personally, I think I was cheated with this voucher... the total cost was not even like Php640. Well, say that you did get some discount, but the fact still exists that the Tonkatsu (as stated in the voucher) was not given. Can a establishment who didn't follow fine prints be a good establishment? The second joint deal of Atsu Atsu and Ensogo was actually more sulit than this first one. (+ Tonkatsu was even possible for the second one)

Just eating there without the voucher? Prices are reasonable, service is attentive and food is not bad.

Tokyo Ramen takeout for my brother.
(+Php20 for take out fee)

eBay.ph a lot of scammers? How do you protect yourself from them.

Ever since immersing myself in the online world of buy and sell Philippines, I found it both pleasant and irritating.

C'mon guys! what else can be unpleasant other than those scammers! Even outside the online world, there are already a lot of scammers, but imagine here, a world where one can forge his identity, the more there are scammers. Scammers in games, scammers in facebook, and the most f*cking scammers, when they get your hard earned cash in exchange of you getting nothing.

Okay, so my topic is actually about how eBay.ph has a lot of scammers and how to protect yourself from them.

eBay is the world's most famous auction site, you can find anything there, from clothes to anything weird, like weird stuff. Okay, that's eBay international. eBay Philippines is a smaller platform but is still part of the Big eBay.

eBay.ph hosts a lot of things and I for now am a customer and seller.

My first transaction was actually a pair of soccer shoes (as required by my soccer teacher), since I only needed it for 13 weeks, I decided not to buy at the mall and look online, and luckily, I saw a pair of soccer shoes (which fit my budget) and bought it. I'm very happy that it was a pleasant transaction, and how the seller also trusted (pissed off with) me since I kept asking him questions, but, it just goes to show how serious you are. (and for scammers, damn, they just know when you want the item) This guy also has a good feedback, really glad he didn't block a newbie like me.

That was out of topic, but I just want to show you that there are nice sellers. The ones who enforces stricter rules are people with feedback 30+. It's not actually wrong because it gets on your nerves when you have to report a non-paying case to eBay. It's better for the buyer to introduce himself, at least, your seller won't have doubts :)

Okay, your first time buying at eBay but want to avoid scammers? Here are my advices.
(Note: Some of these are from reading many forum posts already, but they are very helpful, as some of you don't know, eBay has a discussion board/forum, there's actually a lot of interesting topics there, try reading it if you have time.)

These are mostly to help those newbies buyers who are dealing with 0, -1, 1 or private feedback sellers.

All listed ideas are not made to stand alone, they are applied to-ge-ther.

1) Never buy electronics from 0, -1 ,private feedback sellers or even 1.
Electronics category has a lot of scammers, from cellphone to computers. Why am I suggesting that you don't buy from these people? 0 feedback- They know that it's IN. People who have -1 feedback are most likely scammers. (but remember that there cases when they aren't, but mostly rare) Private sellers have something to hide.

2) Try to buy from people with at least 10 listings.
Usually, scammers list only one item or at most 5. (Rarely 10)

3) Don't deal if it's not meet ups.
Especially for 0 rate sellers. No, unless, he can show you proof.

4) Do meetups in malls or in coffee shops, restaurants or any other places not isolated but not overly crowded too.
Well, you know, they can ran from you.

5) Gcash only? Be cautious.
Gcash is the easiest method to register for mobile banking. It does not require you of anything, just send your info to 2882 and viola, a Gcash account. They can even use a fake name and transfer the money to their main account. At least if it's bank deposit, you could request an investigation from the bank. It is NOT recommended by eBay, but is still the most convenient method.

6) Just don't believe in getting their Facebook account.
They can block you. So what if people gave you their facebook account? Not everything revolves in facebook.

7) Shipping only? Be cautious.
Shipping and the item coming from a far away city (not from MM) is already suspicious. They can just give you that crappy fake tracking number. They don't offer meetups? No, thanks.

8) Looks believable from a 0 seller? Doubt.
I know we all start from zero, but, but, but... it may just be on the surface. Example is this, it looks reliable, but it's too detailed and naggy (for me), I usually doubt.

9) Know Intensively everything about the item you'll buy.
This applies to bags especially, there are also tons of Class A (in other words, fake) or whatever at eBay.ph, be cautious especially if you've paid the amount for a authentic bag. (But most sellers usually state if these are Class A and etc.) Likewise, know the price of the item you want to buy from an authentic store so you'll at least have an idea on how much. No store? check the net, there should be prices even if it's USD.

10) READ READ and READ and RESEARCH, RESEARCH and RESEARCH.
Know what you are getting into, if you're a first time online buyer, better ask your seniors in this business. Because sometimes, even if the item is much more expensive, as long as you know it's authentic, you'll be happy and content.

11) Scammers know if you are really interested.
They are most observant and have already mastered the "art of scamming".

12) Don't believe feedback from a 1 feedback rating too especially if they are both one.
I know that this is kind of impractical, but believe me. Sometimes, the seller just makes another account to put a positive feedback on his account and your hard earned cash? Bye bye.

13) Don't be fool with ultra low prices (too good to be true).
20k for a iphone4 32GB and something of the likes? (especially from a newbie seller and offers only shipping and gcash?) As if possible.

14) There are also cases wherein the sellers end the listing early for you using the methods Gcash and Shipping.
They are in a RUSH to sell the item? So suspicious.

15) Some scammers use stolen images from other sellers or just a catalog picture.
Catalogue images = they don't have the item.
Stolen images = they don't have the item.

16) Pay up first/downpayment before meet-up
Not safe, just don't do it. Especially 0 sellers. Why pay first before meetup? If the seller is sincere, he would meet up with you even without down payment.

17) Check when they made their account, check when did they get their feedback (for 1 feedback sellers)
From what I see, people who only has a day gap between their accounts created and feedback are mostly scammers unless they want to prove to people they have good feedback score which is highly doubtful. (Ex. Created the account: June 11, 2011, Feedback Received: June 11, 2011 or June 12, 2011 or June 13, 2011)

So what does eBay.ph do with these scammers? Well, they don't do anything at all, but there are cases when they do, however, for most part they don't. It would also hurt their company if they just remove a listing with no proofs (even you have already put in all the possible proofs that it's a fraud). Likely, they can't even refund you when you're scam (unless you use Paypal that's linked to Buyer protection and it takes a while) especially Gcash transaction. The best thing you could do is to just file a NBI and Gcash complaint, but it doesn't really guarantee that you'll get your money back. If you read the discussion board, you'll notice that there are a lot of complaints regarding scammers, but since it's against the policy of eBay to post the username there... the only solution is to post it somewhere else and share in your blogs what the scammer did.

We all start from 0 and not all are scammers BTW. Just be cautious.

Note: I've already been scammed with online credits in a game. It's not a big amount, but still a scam. I have been wary of scammers ever since that incident, if I remember correctly, it was the second or third time. There are those who are true to their words but there are MORE who are foul minded. I was actually cursing the person, but I SERIOUSLY believe in KARMA, so I always hope he gets his "just deserts".

Experience at Beeconomic Philippines and Lazermaxx Centris

Groupon America = Beeconomic Singapore = Beeconomic Philippines

Can you guys understand what I just wrote? It's nothing difficult, just the history of Beeconomic Philippines. (From the one I read anyway)

Let me put that in words...

One day Papa Groupon decided to expand to other parts of the world as he has already established a solid front in his hometown, America. He chose Mama Beeconomic from Singapore to spearhead in Asia. And Baby Beeconomic (Philippines) was born.

So in other words, Groupon (the mastermind behind the concept of Group Buying) started it's invasion of Asia.

**Disclaimer: If you find it offensive, leave me a message. I just want to entertain my readers.**

Okay, now to the experience.
Groupon is an established and most well-known group buying business, and now has decided to expand to our country, the Philippines.

Buying at Beeconomic is easy, just any other group buying site. You just need to log-in and click buy, then pay for the item, and viola, your coupon arrives. But there's a catch, for Beeconomic, you need to wait until midnight to get your coupon, that's their rule.

I've payed via Paypal. You see guys, Paypal is safer and the way to get your coupons faster. Try to apply for a Unionbank Eon for a efficient transaction when you don't have credit cards like me, this is an ATM-debit card. (With a yearly fee of Php350(?))

P510 instead of P1020 for a 15-minute fun-filled Laser tag game for 6 people at Lazer Maxx Centris

https://www.beeconomic.com.ph/deals/metro_manila/p510-instead-of-p1020-for-a-15-minute-for-6-people-at-lazer-maxx-centris/715831061

I bought the LazerMaxx coupon via Beeconomic. I remember playing at Greenhills priced around Php300+ per person for just 10-15 mins., so this is a very good deal (6 people for Php 75 each).

Just so you know, if I doubted. No, I didn't because I knew this company was from the main Groupon.

Transaction and claiming the voucher via the merchant is a breeze and that ends Beeconomic goal.

Customer Support: They reply to my inquiries okay. (But if I remembered correctly, I really didn't get the answer I was looking for.)

One more issue: I joined one of the contests of beeconomic, the one about the Eye Checkup. I don't think someone won in that. According to that contest, the first one to post gets a free eye checkup. (Luckily, I was the first one, but I already deleted it as I deemed it worthless now) Anyway, just a comment, I just saw how beeconomic do contests every now and then, and I hope that every single one of them would have at least a winner, since what's the point of posting when there is no winner.

And also, I didn't found the picture you guys sent to be as sincere as it needed to the guy who was requesting his money be returned, but at least, it was dealt with.

(Honest Opinions)
----------
(No pictures again...)
Lazermaxx Centris

Whenever I would ride the MRT and it would stop at Quezon Avenue Station, I would always look at the place across it, Centris. I wondered what was in there and luckily, with the beeconomic voucher, I was able to experience what is Centris.

Centris is what you could call Fort Bonifacio of the North. Though not yet completed, it doesn't seem like part of the bustle-hustle city of Quezon City in the day. (Aside from Quezon City Memorial Circle) But at night, it transforms into a place full of peace, clean and joy where families can spend time together (other than the mall where it's rowdy and noisy).

We went to the Lazermaxx to play lazertag. Vouchers? No problem, instant okay. The problem which really isn't is that we needed to play with 2 other teams who already knew each other. I didn't have fun and felt very tired that I would run up just to catch them, since they only play in one area. I requested that we do a solo game, but no, the guy said, "you play in separate teams anyway." Fine, I let it off.

In Greenhills, the first time I've played with my two brothers, a similar but different setting happened, when we fought with another team who obviously had experience, and we were noobs and we had this one guy who was also a team member. We didn't know anything, had no one to teach and we had to learn it while in the game. Since the guy who handles it always rushes the players to get into the arena. (similiar to Centris) Personally the video which they show at the beginning is pretty useless, especially if you have pros beside you talking and talking and you try to squish your ears just to listen to what the videos is saying. Maybe it's better to brief newbies first after watching the video. C'mon guys, we're not paying you cheaply, can't you just give newbies some tutorials for just like 2-3 mins. (Like how to hold the gun?)

Typically, you won't have fun if you play with people you don't know, so if you want to get the best out of your Lazertag experience, bring your friends along. I guarantee you, bring your friends, or acquaintances, or you'll regret it. And bring a minimum of 12-18 players (12 is more advised than 6) . All your acquiantance to get the very best out of this expensive game.

This doesn't mean I won't play it again, next time, I will make sure that I get a private game.

What makes LG Optimus Black and LG Optimus 2x the ulitmate genius phone?

What makes a cellphone a genius phone?
The point that one can call and text is the genius of a cellphone.

What makes a smartphone a genius phone?

A smartphone is a phone that can do numerous things other than texting and calling. It be your camera, be your assistant and of course, be your laptop. A powerful and genius device in your hand.

But the question really is, "What makes LG Optimus Black and LG Optimus 2x the ulitmate genius phone?"

Sometimes, I wonder, why do cellphone companies name their cellphones with such sophisticated names. The one that struck me the most is "Optimus" by LG. One answer I've thought of is because, the more "sosyal", the better they can sell it and it's owner would be very happy to have a very "sosyal" phone. Anyway, "sosyal" just doesn't cut it. For it to be a phone we can love, it should just be as speedy as we are who are living in the urban areas, slow just doesn't cut it anymore. Speed is vital, both this Optimus phones just aren't "sosyal", but they are both speed phones. Not only speed phones, but are GENIUS phones.

Geniuses are expected to be able to do anything, just like any phone we see today. But "Ultimate", that's another heavy term. So where can this two words "Ultimate" and "Genius" be seen in today's many smartphones?

Definitely in the new LG Optimus Black and LG Optimus 2.

Did you guys even know that the word Optimus is the Latin word for "best"?

So the phones LG Optimus Black and LG Optimus 2 are considered not only the best but also the genius in terms of its category among all others.

First, I look forward both phones to be speedy as my hands, as I personally don't like to wait for a while before it reacts. I know it's wrong, but hey, urban people are speed lovers. That's always a requirement for touch screen phones. These are "ultimate" and "genius" phones, so I believe they will do their parts.

Well then, let me start with LG Optimus Black,


For Optimus Black, I find it very chic and stylish. It's very thin and handy that I may even forget that I have it with me, no one wants bulky phones, and I'm not one who will to go back to it.

Another feature I'm really looking forward to it's camera performance. I was really excited when I first tried out my brother's iPod touch camera, I thought it was good, but turns out it wasn't (It wasn't as good as advertised). I like taking pictures, but because of my camera being old and as stated above. It just doesn't make me feel that interested. I'm really hoping Optimus Black will give me the experience I want. So I can take many pictures for memories. It even has a front camera and is 2MP. What do you say!

For LG Optimus 2.

Person: "Did you know LG Optimus 2 is Dual Core?"

Me: "Dual Core? Laptop or PC?" (missed the LG Optimus 2 statement)

Person: "No. A cellphone."

Me: "CELLPHONE?! Really, never knew it can be a term described with cellphones."

Yes, that would be my reaction as I never expected it to be termed to a cellphone. Reading LG Optimus 2 specs, "Wow! like a laptop!" was my first reaction.

Multitasking is very vital for smartphones, and very few can do this feature. Since LG Optimus 2 is dual core, I can expect that it works the best with it!

Like, Black. I believe that I would be using this phone for my multimedia needs, because other than calling and texting, what else do people use their smartphones for. But of course, Camera is still vital for me, honestly, other then the DSLR cameras ,cellphone camera aren't as good as that, they are not even in digital camera level. But reading the specs of Optimus 2, "A-W-E-S-O-M-E", is there really a phone like that? Not only can it match a DLSR's features but it's HD! HD! HD for video viewing. HD for games! HD is just love! And with dual core, that's just plain love. Yes, where else can you find features like this other than LG Optimus 2.

I believe LG, who has been producing cellphones for many years now are now pioneers and that being said, these two phones, which are their latest releases, are their best inventions yet.
