BlackBerry App — Kindle Is Now Available For Free!

Heather — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 16:13:48 +0000

Oh Amazon, you have almost ruined the future generation from being able to enjoy the smell, the feel and the overall experience that books give you with your Kindle. If you are a guy or gal that loves Kindle though, you are probably going to go bananas over this – they now have Kindle for BlackBerry.

The real kicked about this app is that it is absolutely, one hundred percent free! One thing that you might want to take into consideration though is that this particular app does require you to purchase books, each book being $9.95.

Basically, you would just download that right onto your phone and then you will be able to read it! Pretty cool … but I like real books better.

All right, now that we have talked about a rugged cell phone, let’s go ahead and move onto something that is a little more luxurious. This particular phone is not just luxury but it is also one phone that is the smallest – in the world. The Golden Bumblebee slider phone from KIRF S.T. Dupont is by far one of the coolest looking phones.

Not only is it small as heck but it is also one of those phones that is jam-packed with all sorts of technology right inside. For example – a 2-megapixel camera, a stereo speaker, an FM radio, a mini-USB port, Bluetooth and a huge 8GB memory. You can purchase this slider phone for $179.99.

Great price, fantastic and beautiful display and all around incredible phone … what are you waiting for again?

Tips for Making a Cell Phone a Holiday Gift

Heather — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:50:03 +0000

A cell phone can make a great holiday gift, but only if you are careful about it. A lot of people make the mistake of buying a loved one the cell phone they really want, but it is not the perfect choice for the recipient of the gift. Big mistake; that is just selfish, and the holiday season is not about selfishness.

When making a gift of a cell phone, you have got to consider the wants, needs, desires, and preferences of the recipient. Are you buying the phone for someone who likes to take pictures? If so, then a phone with a good camera is a good option.

If you are buying the phone for someone who isn’t really tech savvy, then the latest phone with all kinds of features and doodads won’t be the best choice.

Is the Asus P527 Truly Awesome?

Heather — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 00:05:59 +0000

I have to be honest, I have never heard of Asus. That really is not so shocking, since the Asus P527 is the manufacturer’s first entry into the smart phone market in the United States. It has quite an enviable international reputation and it is considered something of a GPS powerhouse. But is it worth all the hype?

Well, the device definitely has a whole lot of potential, leaving reviewers eager to see what Asus will have next for the U.S. market.

But potential is a long way from successful, isn’t it? The Asus P527 has a tendency to, well, crash after it has been on for a while. The applications pile up, which causes the Windows Mobile interface to crash. It is slow even when one is not using a lot of programs.

So, the phone is underpowered by quite a lot, the dedicated buttons are not really intuitive, and some needed apps do not open. However, the navigation software is great, it is light, and the battery life is excellent.

The First Samsung SCH-W880 12MP Camera Phone!

Heather — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 03:40:29 +0000

Samsung, by far is the leading company for cell phones. I think that Samsung has come out with so many phones, it really does make it hard to keep track of them all, and however … their newest phone is crazy! They came come out with the world’s first 12MP camera phone that has 3x optical zoom. This is not just another Samsung phone; this is a breakthrough in technology!

The Samsung SCH-W880 12MP Camera Phone does not look like a regular phone at all. In fact, this little beauty actually looks like a camera with no phone, however – I can assure you that you will be able to make all sorts of calls on this phone! Now, onto the specs!

The Samsung SCH-W880 12MP Camera Phone includes: a 6x digital zoom with auto focus, an image stabilization, a face detection, a Xenon flash and 720p video recording at 30fps. Additional specs include a 3.3-inch AMOLED WVGA touchscreen display and a 4GB of internal memory.

Sirius Introduces Satellite Radio For The iPhone

Heather — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 17:08:16 +0000

So let’s say that you have been searching for a way that you can make your iPhone into something other than a cell phone. I mean, if you are going to make a cell phone into something other than a cell phone, the iPhone should be the phone that you turn to right? That is exactly why the iPhone has so many different accessories and Sirius has just added to the iPhone accessory vault.

In August, they actually came up with the iPhone XM SkyDock that will actually make your iPhone or iPod Touch into a satellite radio. To me … that is something that I do not think that I would particularly like, if only because I hate Sirius radio, however … the SkyDock does look pretty freakin’ cool.

The catch? The SkyDock itself is around $120.00 and then you have to pay another $13.00 a month in order to listen to the radio … kind of a rip right?

Samsung B7620 Armani: OMG — Check Out These Specs!

Heather — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 03:39:40 +0000

If there is one phone that I am super excited about, it is going to be the Samsung Armani 2 phone! This smartphone is definitely cool, totally smooth and by far the best phone on the market … soon hopefully. The fact that Armani has attached their name onto this particular phone is very telling as well, for all of you label whores out there. Samsung to me is the crème de la crème when it comes to phones, not only are they cool looking but the technology inside is awesome!

Take the Samsung B7620 Armani for example, it is packed with all sorts of technology, for example the handset will run on Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro and feature a 800MHz processor, A-GPS, WiFi, a dedicated graphics chip, a HTML browser, Bluetooth, a stereo FM radio with RDS, a music player (MP3, WAV, e-AAC+, WMA, AMR), a video player (DivX, XviD, MPEG4, 3gp, H.263, H.264) and a business card scanner. All of this and more!

While there is no word on pricing right at the moment, I have to say that this particular phone is going to be expensive … but cool!

Sony Ericsson ‘Kiki’ Cell Phone Unveiled Finally!

Heather — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 03:36:37 +0000

Sony is doing some crazy things with the knowledge and people that they employ – not only are they coming up with things like the Sony Ericsson ‘Kiki’, but they are actually making sure that this phone is packed with all sorts of technology! Personally, I think that Sony is by far one of the best brands of phones on the market today. Sony has a. been around for quite a while and b. they have been producing quality products for such a long time, I think that the Sony Ericsson ‘Kiki’ phones are going to be some of the best phones in the world.

If you still have no idea what the Sony Ericsson ‘Kiki’ is, it is actually a phone that comes equipped with a glasslike display instead of a regular one that allows all sorts of pictures to be projected on it and it can actually be viewed from either side of the phone. That is what is so cool about the Sony Ericsson ‘Kiki’ phones!

So wait – I will keep you updated as I hear on the Sony Ericsson ‘Kiki’ phone’s and when they might be released!

iPhone Accessories, Yes There Is Another One!

Heather — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 21:27:41 +0000

The iPhone – oh, how the world changed when this phone came out and I have to tell you that I think it actually changed for the better. While I do not have an iPhone, I see them floating all over and upon writing for this blog, I have learned a hell of a lot about them, iPhones are the single most compatible phones with pretty much anything and there is pretty much any kind of phone accessory for them.

Take the latest iPhone phone accessory, the iPhone projector. The MiLi Pro is a LCOS, LED-driven projector for the iPhone and iPod Touch is so incredible! All you need to do is put a screen on your wall and you will be able to watch anything that you want via your projector on your iPhone! Personally, with projectors becoming the ‘hot’ thing, I think that this is absolutely worth purchasing and just getting an iPhone or iPod Touch for!

The projector provides a 640×480 resolution which is a lot with 10 lumens, VGA and RCA inputs, and a dock connector. In September, this will be the hot item for that is when it comes out!

Samsung B5100, New Symbian S60 Smartphone: Check It Out!

Heather — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 23:02:30 +0000

Samsung, as you all know is absolutely one of the leading cell phone makers – if not the leading cell phone maker and I have to say that Samsung is adding another phone to their already expansive selection of phones – the Symbian S60 Smartphone. This phone is actually an incredible candybar phone that will sport an all around sexy metallic case and have a 3MP camera with an LED flash on it.

This phone will also have a DivX playback support, as well as be able to connect to both Bluetooth and GPS. It also has a USB 2.0 and HSDPA connectivity, so really, with this incredible phone you can stay pretty much connected to anything at all. While this phone is still on the low down and unannounced phase, it is definitely coming soon!

So watch out for the Symbian S60 Smartphone, it is going to come quick!
