We are celebrating our 5th Year Anniversary with a bang! The Manila Blogs Family would like to thank all of our readers and loyal followers who have been with us for the past 5 years by giving away FREE NOKIA phones.
We started out with Manila Reviews last January 2005, and over the years, we have developed blogs to address the needs and concerns of our readers. Just so you know, the Manila Blogs Family is composed of a family of bloggers with different personalities and interests. This paved the way for creating 5 unique blogs that we hope you all love: Manila Reviews (for the Pinoy foodie and food entrepreneur), Manila Mommy (for the loving “mommy”), Manila Fitness (for the active and health conscious “gym/yoga rat”), Manila Shopaholic (for the “kikay” and trendy shopaholic) and Manila Blogs (for the blogger or Internet expert).
On this special occasion, Nokia Philippines ties up with Manila Blogs Family to give you FREE Nokia phones that would suit your personality.
For the Health Buff and Fitness Addict… Manila Fitness is giving you the Nokia 3720
The Nokia 3720 is the “tough” phone for people on the go! It has a Tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support. It has a 2 megapixel camera, autofocus and LED flash that will help you take pictures. For grooving and working out to music, it has an FM radio Stereo with RDS. To share and store workout music, it has Bluetooth (with A2DP) and microUSB port.
If you are love running dark and rough paths, the Nokia 3720 is for you. It is IP54 certified – dust and water jets resistant. It has a key so that you can use the camera light and convert it to a flashlight for trail running.
We know that you will love the toughness and the power of this phone, so Manila Fitness is raffling off a FREE Nokia 3720! For more details on the Nokia 3720, please visit Nokia Philippines website. Get this Nokia 3720 when you join Manila Blogs Family promo!

#26 by jack on August 21, 2010 - 4:31 pm
I’m joining this contest particularly on Manila Fitness for my husband so to answer the question “How does this Nokia phone fit your lifestyle?” for him:
Nokia 3720 fits my husband very well because currently, he’s the one taking care of our baby at home while i’m at work. Since we do not have radio at home and he doesnt have a cellphone, this phone can be his radio, he likes to listen to music. This can also serve as a flashlight during brownouts.

happy 5th Year Anniversary to your blog! more power and more readers and followers to come!
btw, I left a comment and answered the question…“How does this Nokia phone fit your lifestyle?”
Nokia phone fits my lifestyle because apart from being a SAHM and a travel junkie with a healthy addiction to running, camping, hiking and seeing the world, and I also love listening to music while running and I also love going to the beach and I must admit I’ve dropped my phone in the water once and what was the result? Well, you know it. My cell phone broke.. so with Nokia 3720, I don’t have to worry if it gets wet because it’s IP54 certified, dust and water jets resistant. yay! I can also use it as a flashlight for a trail run or a hike at night and Like Nokia 3720, it fits me because it’s tough and durable enough for people like me who has active lifestyle, loves sports and outdoor adventure of any kind!
