The cell phone review comes across some phones that are not so great in terms of the number of phones and handsets that they are able to offer. One of this us the Peek, which had a handset which was reviewed last year. This was an e-mail only handheld and it was ridiculous that you had to pay $100 for the phone and a $20 extra every month in order to send e-mails. The design was okay and it was simple to use as well. This was good for those who just wanted to send e-mails and not all the complicated functions of a smartphone. But for $100 we wanted something more.
Now that the Peek Pronto has arrived, we know that the company has address some of our concerns, as the Pronto has a number of extra features. For one, the company has made subscription cheaper and also added in a number of extra features to make life easier for you. There is also PDF and Word document support, as well as search on the device. The price is also down to $79, which is quite a deal. The subscription is also down to $16.67 per month. All of this makes the Peek Pronto a device to look out for and buy too.
The most popular Christmas gift for the past several years is still a brilliant gift choice for the gamer in your circle. Nintendo continues to develop exciting new uses for its motion sensor-equipped controllers. If your gamer already has a Wii, here are some great accessories that they’ll surely enjoy (if they don’t have them already).
Wii Fit Plus: The program that opened up video consoles to all ages is now even more expansive. New games like the obstacle course, where you jump from platform to platform, and Bird’s Eye Bulls-Eye, where you “flap your wings” and land on different targets, add excitement and whimsy to the atypical video game that actually encourages exercise. Great for the gamer or the health nut.
Metroid Prime Trilogy: The first-person shooter first made popular on the Gamecube concluded its epic trilogy on the Wii, and now all three are available in this seductively priced package. Remodeled exclusively for the Wii, you control bounty hunter Samus Aran as she blasts her way through beautifully designed alien worlds. Solve puzzles and destroy aliens in this gorgeous, action-packed series that received rave reviews from critics.
New Super Marios Bros: See what everyone’s talking about in this refreshing update of the game that started it all. For the first time, Mario and Luigi can play simultaneously, collecting coins and stomping Goombas as a team. While the graphics are updated and the gameplay offers some new twists, it’s still the classic side-scrolling Mario that paved the way for all new videogames.
Wii Points: You may have seen these gift cards hanging alongside the iTunes gift cards, but never knew what they were. If you have a Wii and an internet collection, you can download classic Nintendo games on the Wii – like the original Super Mario, Kirby and Mario Kart – using Wii points! Perfect for gamers with a healthy sense of nostalgia.
The cell phone review gets to evaluate and check out many cell phones by Sony Ericsson, which brings out quite an interesting set of phones. Take for example the Cyber Shot series of phones that have been quite a hit with those who love to use their cell phones for taking pictures. The phones are stellar when it comes to taking pictures and making calls too. You will not have many problems with these aspects of the phone. When it comes to the C902, there are quite a few things that work well for it. For one, it is quite an appealing phone, that has a sleek design and quite a few features that are quite apt. The price of the phone is not very low though, and you can get it for around $389 at the minimum.
The C902 comes in candy-bar design along with four colors, which are red, bronze, silver as well as black. It is quite attractive and you can show it off to your family and friends. There are as many as three menu styles and the use interface is quite attractive and responsive too. The phone seems to be a little heavier than it looks, but it is also solid and robust, which makes up for the little extra weight.
The cell phone review could be getting a tad tired of Nokia. This is in view of the fact that the company comes up routinely with handsets that seem to be rehashes of previous product offerings. This is not true of the Nokia E75, though, as the phone has a lot of features that can be quite interesting. For one, the phone is more compact and also has a design that is more cell-phone like in mature. It also has Nokia’s interesting new messaging application that is creating waves around the world, and has been eagerly awaited. While messaging is fine, the call capabilities of the Nokia N75, leave a lot to be desired, especially when you find that it costs as much as $530.
As far as the design is concerned, you cannot fault the Nokia N 75 much, and it may actually make sense to buy it. It has a QWERTY keyboard, which is very convenient for people used to the layout. The phone may have a candy bar styling, but it is quite light and can fit into your pocket quite easily. The phone has also a great 16-million color display which is quite a feature if you are artistically inclined.
The cell phone review is pleased to review the LG Chocolate Touch. The phone was launched in 2006, and it came along with a lot of hype. While this is okay and mostly due to marketing efforts, what remained to be seen it was able to live up to the hype. This phone came along with the famous Chocolate branding, and actually had two versions. One of the versions was meant only for Europe and Asia, with the one being reviewed by the cell phone market was the one for US markets, which is Verizon Wireless Chocolate Touch.
The LG Chocolate Touch is quite decent phone, being slim and lightweight too. There is a touch display that is responsive and it is a music centric phone. The music centricity is evident in the Dolby Mobile equalizer settings and even an FM radio which means you can be in touch with the music of your choice, even on the go. There is a drum kit too, thrown in for good measure. Along with this you get a 3.2 megapixel camera and also full HTML browser. In terms of design, the phone is rectangular and has slightly rounded edges for good effect.
The cell phone review always likes to review HTC phones, as there is something quite special about these phones. The HTC Tilt 2 is no different, as it brings to the table quite a few nifty features to delight consumers. For one, the phone is better than many of its competitors as it brings to benefits of Windows Mobile 6.5. While it may not be a huge leg up on Windows Mobile OS, it is quite user friendly in its features, with a much better user interface and also features like My Phone back-up and also Windows Marketplace. These are innovations that set it apart from the competition to a significant extent.
With the HTC Tilt 2, you also get a much better hardware, with a full QWERTY keyboards and a touch screen that is much sharper and also responsive. You need not fumble around any longer to get a feel of the touch screen and register the commands. Multimedia may not be its strength, and browsing is not at its best, but at less than $300, what more can you expect from a business phone? In any case, the phone is able to make a mark in comparison to HTC Pure, Blackberry Bold and also the iPhone.
The cell phone review could not just wait to get its hands on the HTC HD2, that is due to be launched this spring on T-Mobile. The HTC HD2 had been first spotted at CTIA 2009, but we had to wait for Expansys USA to give us an unlocked version to get a review. This is quite an amazing smartphone, one which does not disappoint or expectations. The phone has a great 4.3 inch touch screen that is the center of attraction and the highlight of the piece. The HTF Sense user experience also brings a much better Windows Mobile performance than ever before. Obviously, this is quite improved due to the 1GHz Snapdragon processor that ensure that the performance keeps going on quite happily.
The HTC HD2 is the best Windows Mobile phone in the market, without a doubt. While it will be launched sometime later, it remains to be seen how it stacks up against the Windows Phone 7 Series that is on its way. The phone is also rather large, which could put off some people. While Windows Phone 7 Series phones seem to be on the horizon, it may be sometime before compatible handsets are launched. So the HTC HD2 does have some chance, after all.
They started out as telephones. Much like the ones we’d used in our homes for decades. There was only one big difference: they were portable. When cell phones first came to the mass market, they were a huge novelty simply because they allowed us to talk on the phone in our cars. Today, cell phones (now actually considered “mobile devices) can do more than we ever imagined back then. In fact, more often than talking on them, we probably use our cells for other things, like…
E-mailing. As if e-mail wasn’t already enough of an addiction, as many of us have checked it obsessively on our PC’s throughout the day for years now. But now that we can take care of our e-mail correspondence on our phones, we don’t even have to have a computer or an Internet connection to clean out our inboxes.
Video Games. Today’s cell phone video games leave the Ataris and Nintendos of years past in the dust. And we don’t even need a television or console to play them. Not that even the simplest cell phone games, like Bubble Breaker or Snake, aren’t entertaining enough!
Photos. Many of today’s cell phones have cameras with such high megapixel counts that they make carrying a camera separately unnecessary. The Samsung Omnia, for example, has a 5-megapixel camera that rivals many point-and-click digital models.
Movies. Today’s cell phones contain tiny hard drives with enough memory to hold feature films that we can watch while traveling or waiting for our cars to be repaired. We can even record mini-movies of our own, complete with audio! We can also send them to other cell phones to share them with our friends.
And of course, there’s also navigation, texting, web browsing, reading books, listening to music, maintaining address books, keeping track of schedules, viewing documents…
It seems like everyone in America, including children as young as 8, owns a cell phone. And not only do most people own one, they tend to carry them constantly. Such incredibly widespread and consistent use of cell phones has created a seemingly endless market for cell phones themselves as well as the countless accessories that can accompany them.
If you’ve recently purchased a cell phone and think you have everything you need in that one little device, think again. You might also want…
Decorations. There are all kinds of decorations you can get for your phone, from understated to flambouyant. You can find adhesive gemstones, stickers, and dangly charms to personalize and adorn your PDA.
A case. It’s almost a necessity for your phone. As technology advances, cell phones tend to become smaller and more fragile. Even if, or especially if, you plan to keep your phone in your purse or pocket at all times, a protective case will help ensure that your investment is protected.
Headphones. To get as much as you can out of your new mobile device, you may want to use it to listen to music. Your phone may come with headphones, but there are probably a lot of other options out there with better sound at reasonable prices.
A car charger. They’re rarely included with the phone anymore, and if you use your phone for anything other than talking, chances are that the battery will run low before you expect it to. Car chargers come in very handy to fill up your battery during your commute.
An extra memory card. Today’s cell phones can play movies and store photos; they can do virtually anything a computer does. Having an extra movie or two or the latest best-selling novel on a memory card is nice for traveling, and the card enables you to have them on hand without taking up too much space on the phone itself.
The cell phone review is generally very happy to review Samsung phones as they are quite functional and good value for money. The Samsung Behold II is the second Android phone for the US market by Samsung. It draws its inspiration from the Samsung Galaxy Lite. With this phone, Samsung wants to differentiate itself from a host of other phones, and it tries to do so with the AMOLED display. In addition, there is the TouchWiz interface and also increased capabilities in the multimedia realm. Samsung certainly tries to please with the Samsung Behold II. It is able to delight to some extent, given the fact that the touch screen is really amazing and the multimedia performance is quite great.
It is also true that the Touchwiz interface is not all that great or helpful. Given the fact that this is a smartphone that runs on Android 1.5, paying close to $230 is not quite defensible. Compare this with the Motorola Droid that runs on Android 2.0 and is available just below $200. Given this, if you are a Samsung fan, you would not mind the price tag, as the Samsung Behold II is the most advanced smartphone from the company.
