But earlier this week, I got excited upon learning from the Fire Eye’d Boy that Google Maps also renders Philippine locations and displays some major roads. Last night, I downloaded and installed it on my Treo 650.

Textmail cannot retrieve or reset lost passwords. You cannot delete your account and just register again because you need the current password. And Smart won’t delete your account. Their CSR said that they do not have the capability to do that. Ano kaya ‘yun?
