Check Out The Sony Ericsson U100a!

September 19th, 2009

Sony Ericsson U100aWhen you think about it – most people tend to think that all smartphones are exactly the same.  However, I know for a fact that they aren’t and I know that if you are getting yourself a Sony Ericsson, you are not only getting one of the best phones on the market, but you are also getting a phone that is totally different and packed with technology.

Take the brand new Sony Ericsson U100a for example.  This is a slider phone that is full of fun and technology!  Just check it out, this phone includes a 2.4-inch display (240×320), a GPS receiver, a 5MP camera with flash, a separate camera for video calls, stereo speakers, Bluetooth, WiFi, and a microSD memory expansion slot. The Yari runs UMTS Bands 1, 2, and 5, and GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900.

All of these features in just one phone?  Craziness!  No info on availability and pricing just yet, but soon!

The Sony Ericsson C905a: A Must Have for Shutterbugs!

September 11th, 2009

sony_ericsson_c905a_phoneThe Sony Ericsson C905a is making enormous waves in the cell phone world — but not precisely because of the phone itself. It is big news because of its camera — a whopping 8.1 megapixel wonder. As you can just imagine, the phone’s camera has more megapixels than any other handset you can find in the United States or almost anywhere else right now. The stakes have definitely been raised.

This slider phone was specifically designed for those people who do not want to carry around a bunch of different devices. As such, the camera is not your standard camera phone; it is more like a point and shoot. It has auto focus, xenon flash complete with red eye reduction, and face detection.

The only problem is that, by all accounts, a great camera is just about all this phone has to offer.

Verizon Preparing to Launch 4G Network Next Year

August 6th, 2009

verizon-logo-470x310Currently cell phone manufacturers everywhere are going 4G crazy. Forget 3G, that is just so last year. Verizon is the latest cell phone manufacturer to jump on the 4G bandwagon. The company recently announced that they have finished their initial tests for their 4G wireless service. This service will offer speeds which are anywhere between five times to ten times faster than the current, existing networks. It is expected that the network will roll out next year in 2010.

Verizon will be using Long Term Evolution, or LTE, which is a new technology. Using it, the manufacturer succeeded in making calls in both Seattle and Boston. They will be the first cities who offer these faster services.

These calls used a spectrum once assigned to television stations which has recently been freed for use by cell phones — the 700 MHz spectrum.

It is expected that the download speeds for the new network will range from seven to twelve Mbps.

All of the United States are expected to be able to use the new 4G network by 2013.

HTC Touch Pro2: It’s Almost Here!

August 1st, 2009

HTC Touch Pro2It is finally the announcement that we have all been waiting for – T-Mobile is finally coming out with the HTC Touch Pro2 on August 12th, this year.  This phone is not only one of the coolest looking phones but it also has some pretty cool specs that we are going to talk about below.  One thing that is most noticeable about this particular phone though is going to be the touchscreen as well as the keyboard slide out – which to me is very, very important.

The rest of the specs go like this:  3.2-megapixel camera, AWS 3G, GPS, a 3.6-inch WVGA display, and WiFi. The phone also boasts the unique Straight Talk technology that delivers an integrated email, voice and speakerphone experience.  Another cool thing that this phone is useful for is using it as a conference call phone – and you can check your e-mail at the same time!

The HTC Touch Pro2 is definitely one phone that everyone should check into getting – it is stylish, chic and fashionable … and totally awesome!

HTC Leo: Is It The Truth?

July 25th, 2009

HTC LeoIs one smartphone company that seems to be doing very well for themselves, it is HTC.  Now, it seems to me that they make luxury cell phones for people that are looking to get a little more out of their cell phone – however, that might not always be the case.  The HTC Leo is actually in the works right now and this clamshell phone is actually one cool and technology-packed piece of equipment.

It is rumored to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, an internal WVGA display that is going to be about 480×800 with a 16:9 ratio.  HTC the company is also rumored to release some other phones, however I do not think that they are going to compare exactly to this particular phone.

Now, I must tell you – the picture, is actually an old HTC Omni mockup, however it should be quite similar to what the HTC Leo looks like … I hope anyway!

The Next Generation LG Chocolate: It’s One Hot Phone!

July 19th, 2009

The Next Generation LG ChocolateIf there is one thing that I know about cell phones, it is going to be the fact that cell phones are by far some of the most popular electronics on the market today.  Another thing is that cell phones are jam-packed with technology … take the latest and greatest phone from LG, the Next Generation LG Chocolate.  This particular phone just got approved by the FCC and it is actually the second generation from the original LG chocolate.

Personally, I have never owned an LG chocolate phone but I know that they have got to be good if they are coming out with the Next Generation LG Chocolate.  This beautiful phone is going to be packed with 800 x 345 resolution display with a 21:9 aspect ratio, a Flash-based 3D UI, multitouch, AGPS, WiFi, 7.2Mbps not to mention a scratch-resistant glass screen!

The Next Generation LG Chocolate is going to be one phone that everyone in the world is going to want … so make sure that you pre-order yours!

Virgin Mobile’s Basic LG Flare LX175

July 6th, 2009

lg-flare-lx175Virgin Mobile is extremely well known for creating solid entry level phones which are simple but functional, especially for those who are inexperienced with cell phones and/or who cannot afford to spend a lot of money on a phone.

So, what’s the damage? Well, on the upside, the phone has the standard, necessary features most people want out of a cell — it has Bluetooth connectivity, a speakerphone, and the option of voice dialing. The downside is that the quality of the speakerphone isn’t that great, and the feel of the phone sort of reflects its price. It has no camera, but its display is quite colorful. Still, it does not quite deserve to be called a “Flare,” since it really does not have any flair.

Philips Xenium X630: It Has A Longer Lasting Battery!

July 5th, 2009

Philips Xenium X630When I think about a cell phone I most of the time think about the battery.  To be honest, I talk on the phone a lot and I need a battery that is going to last quite a while – that is why I picked the Philips Xenium X630.  This incredible candy bar phone is one of the only phones that has a super, super, super long lasting battery inside of it.  You can talk about to 12 hours without needing to recharge your phone or if you do not talk on your phone and it is just on standby, it can last up to 50 days.

Although the battery is pretty cool, there is another reason why you should invest in this phone … the specs!  Some of the specs for the Philips Xenium X630 include:  2.4-inch QVGA display with 262k colors, a 3.2MP camera, a music player, an FM radio, a microSDHC card slot (up to 8GB) and Bluetooth with A2DP.

No word on the pricing or availability yet, but there should be some soon – hopefully!
