Akihabara : Win the SMALLEST GSM phone in the world!

Win the SMALLEST GSM phone in the world!

This is the last Akihabara News contest. We nicely started with a Vaio U71P and many other prizes. This time, we’ll try to end nicely also with 2 really rare GSM phones!
Remember, a few months ago, a Chinese company offered the smallest GSM phone in the world with a touch screen, a camera (functioning also as a webcam), an MP3 and Mpeg4 player! This phone only existed then in Chinese. Well you know what? We have a model in English for you!!! (The phone measures 65x30x19mm.)

We also have another rare phone only available in China, still in Chinese, in a very nice package, and also very small.

A for the previous contests, you are going to explain why it is important to read Akihabara News every morning and why we’re the best in the world and the whole universe, and why you’re very intergalactic Green Piggy is your only GOD! Otherwise, you can also explain why a new religion should be created in my name… the Sect of the Green Pig!

As you should have guessed by now, I’m ready for the nut house…

Anyway, you’ve got until December 26 to participate!

I check Akihabara News every few hours. It's the best place for the latest in tech. I'm stuck here in the U.S. while the rest of Asia enjoys the best gadgets and tech toys months and years ahead of us. It's like a crystal ball basically. It gives a glimpse of what will hopefully trickle down to the rest of the world. My cell phone for example. When I got it here, it was the best of the best and the newest of the new. I first read about it first on Akihabara News long before it ever even reached our shores. But like the saying goes, the grass is always GREENer on the other side.

Why do I read Akihabara News every morning? Probably because I'm masochistic, tormenting myself by looking at all these cool gadgets I will never have.

Seriously though, I do check several 'gadget' sites every day at work. In these days of Digg and news aggregation, Akihabara brings news on interesting stuff that I'm not seeing on any other site. It's a quality and original gadget site. Keep up the good work.

Akihabara News was one of the first gadget blogs i started reading, and is still one of the best because they simply give you the best coverage from the countries where technology matters the most. Also the video reviews aint too shabby either.

Aki news is the best because it doesn't simply recycle other site's news, it goes out and finds it; many other gadget sites seem to shamelessly steal His Most Excellent Green Pig's worthy writings and publish them as their own. So, in order to be up to date and not behind the times, it's essential to read it daily. To keep His Royal Highness the Green Pig happy, be sure to come to the Shrine of Akihabaranews!

Gotta love tech you can't have/afford. Actually, I started reading Akihabara News because I wanted to upgrade from my Motorola E398 so was looking for news from phones in Asia (as I have connections and I can get Korean phones in the USA working) but now... I can't choose a phone because when I have something in mind... a few days later another better phone comes out... DARN YOU ABRACADABRA!!! wait... Akihabara Rocks!!! I come here for my daily bread of tech news... all hail the potentate green pig!

I for one would be lost with out the scriptures and teachings of Daimaou, the Green Space Pig. I find its daily affirmations uplifting. My current favorite parable is the one of redemption...If the congregation will open thier browsers and click to Book VIAO, Chapters UX50 through UX90PS. ...And the Great Green Space Pig looked upon this flock; the small form factor and saw that it was good, the wireless access and saw that it was good. Indeed, the QUERTY, Zoom and pointer mouse were all good, but saw something heavy weighing on the little one's CPU hearts. And there were the tiny but mutitudinous demons of preloaded bloatware, that lagged and crippled the boot time and saw that it was very bad. But Daimaou spake, and exorsized those demons with a clean re-install. The litle flock was freed and it was very, very good. Can I get a "Hallelujah?" Amen.

My major is Japanese and I'm planning on studying abroad in Japan next year. I'll want to have a new digital camera and a laptop for while I'm there, but why buy one before I go when I could get something even better for the same price in Japan? There's no way I could navigate through a Japanese tech site or an electronics store in Japan. Akihabara News lets me know the latest from Japan so I can make a good choice when I get there. I especially like the Tests. It's like talking to a friend who has the product and can show you and tell you everything about it. All of the reviews are written in a very approachable style. I can get the information I'm interested in without being overloaded with technical information and losing interest. And contests to win the stuff we're all drooling over, but can't easily purchase... that's just awesome! Plus the green and grey color scheme is very easy on the eyes =) Akihabara is the best!

I love gadgets and the best gadgets are the smallest gadgets, except when it comes to TVs where the biggest are the best. Akihabara News provides me with my daily gadget fix and is always first to reveal the best of the best in high-tech gadgetry. A few weeks back I was amazed while watching a multilingual green piggy describe the world's largest (and most expensive) new Panasonic 103" plasma in full HDTV goodness. This week I'm presented with the opportunity to score the world's smallest (and ultra-coolest) cell phone ever. This is a dream come true for a nerd like me. Maybe I'll plan my next vacation around Akihabara so I can actually purchase some of this stuff. With any luck, I'd get to meet a real live green piggy.

I surf this site everyday, the past year or so. I always seem choose akihabara first when browsing morning news. I feel that this site offer neutral, good impressions on upcoming gadgets and that you're in the center of the gadgetporn business (Also, I am afraid that the almighty green pig will slay me if I don't return several times per day).

Akihabara news is one of my favourite websites. I like computers & electronics and the Akihabara news is my main source of updating with the latest news in the area. The news is usually introduced on very pleasant way: one can find there not only the specific characteristics of a new item but also some comparisons with other similar technology, critical comments, some idea on the price and shops where the same product will be offered which I always find extremely useful. This is not just a standard website. This is the website which I have bookmarked on my desktop and often click there to enjoy, to learn, and just to relax.

After a trip to Japan and 3 days of constant Akihabara district visits, it became painfully clear that there was just too much choice and too little time to make a decision. Then I discovered this site. Thanks to you, I now know exactly what I am going to spend my hard earned money on when I visit, allowing me more time to enjoy sightseeing. Technology is quite an addiction for me, and I cannot help but visit this site every day. My last purchase was the Sanyo HD1a. This site helped me set my expectations, and I went into my purchase with eyes wide open. Everything that was said about it was true, and ultimately I was satisfied (and had some great photos and videos to boot!) Thank you Akihabra News!

Thanks to this site and its reviews, I went into the purchase with my eyes open completely aware of its strengths and weaknesses.

I'm a technology freak and love gadgets, well, don't we all ? :D Nowhere else I can find all the stuff that akiba news shows us I actually bought some stuff in akiba that I saw here. What I couldn't find is that maid-keyboard they showed some months ago. It was actually embarrasing to ask for that in the shops

All bow before The Green Pig !
If you need to know why Akihabara News is the best in the Galaxy, then you are obviously not a true believer, and there is no place for you in the Sect Of The Green Pig (SOTGP).
Praise the Green Pig ! Follow his news for the latest and coolest tech news. Be true to the SOTGP and the Green Pig will await you in Gadget Heaven !
Speak badly about Akihabara, or do not check it on a daily bases, and you'll end up in Gadget Hell, where you are forced to use a 1st gen Tulip computer !

The sect of the green pig should be recognized as an official religion because it holds all the necessary qualifications to be one: A large mass of followers, a green deity of untold powers, and a daily place of worship. :D

I've been checking out Akihabara News almost daily for more than a year now. I read a few other gadget sites, but Akihabara News somehow covers the latest gadgets before those other sites even hear about them. In fact, on several occasions, those other sites cover the same gadgets only after reading about them here, giving credit to Akihabara News. Leave it to the Green Piggy to get the inside scoop.

When I saw how cool and tiny these phones were, I had to stop and post a comment because the only thing better than dreaming about them is actually OWNING one! I used to own a Panasonic GD55 phone and I thought that one was tiny until I read about that touch-screen model from China. Very cool, indeed.

Keep up the good work, guys. Thanks for keeping us up to date on all the latest stuff.

They hate me 'cos they know what markets they are coming far in advance and at what estimated prices. I think they are just jelaous. Merry Xmas and happy new year (green-pig-chinese-year?).
