AT&T Releases the Samsung Jack

2009-05-14T16:50:00.001-07:00

The new Windows Mobile Standard 6.1 smartphone from Samsung is here...and it looks a heck of a lot like the Motorola Q, doesn't it? That's not a bad thing, mind you, but it's still somewhat surprising to see. Dubbed the Samsung Jack, this phone has the same name as the Blackjack II in Canada. That's right, Samsung decided to give it the name of a previously released product. Maybe they thought no one would notice. I predict they'll do something crazy like call it the Jack II in Canada, further confusing anyone that does a search for this phone. But hey, enough harping about the name - what's it got under the hood?

It's not radically different from the Blackjack II: the Jack has more RAM, 256 MB to be precise, and an unknown amount of storage ROM (I suspect 256 MB as well). Why all the RAM? Because it's going to support Windows Mobile 6.5 when it comes out later this year - Samsung's exact wording from the press release is "The Samsung Jack will also be upgradable to Windows Mobile 6.5." Note that Samsung stopped short of committing to offer a free 6.5 upgrade as HTC has done - so it's anyone's guess as to whether or not Samsung will release an upgrade. We know how often the OEMs change their mind when it comes to upgrades.

Other hardware features include a 3.2 megapixel camera (no mention of a flash), 802.11b/g WiFi, aGPS, 3G GSM, and a microSDHC card slot for expansion. Nothing very exciting hardware-wise, and other than WiFi (which is great!) no fixes to the hardware limitations from the Blackjack II. There's still no 3.5mm headphone jack. It still uses the proprietary Samsung power/sync connector. There's no mention of the screen size or screen resolution, but it looks like it's the same as the Blackjack II.

So if you're a Blackjack II owner, unless you really want WiFi, there's nothing much new here - once Windows Mobile 6.5 is released, presuming Samsung offers an upgrade, this phone might get more interesting. I'm a fan of my Blackjack II - it's a great workhorse - but it sure doesn't have the "wow" factor that the newer touch-screen phones from HTC have. After the break there's a YouTube video from an AT&T employee that shows you what the phone looks like. I've also screen-capped an image that shows that the Jack is shorter, and perhaps a bit thicker than the Blackjack II.

The Jack will be available from AT&T on May 19th for $99.99 USD after a mail-in rebate with a two-year contract. No word on the pricing of it without a contract - I suspect somewhere around $399. The full press release can be found over on MobilitySite.

SlingPlayer Mobile app to be available soon in App Store

2009-05-12T16:59:00.000-07:00

With your iPhone, doing many tasks on-the-go is quite possible, however, catching up on TV shows you saved with your Slingbox player or DVR is not so possible. Today, Apple has finally approved the SlingPlayer Mobile app which can stream your TV shows from your device at home, for $30.

Now, while all this sounds good, there are a few drawbacks. The major drawback being the fact that the app will only work when connected to a Wi-Fi network. AT&T imposed this restriction to Apple and on the SlingPlayer app probably because they do not want people eating up the 3G service with large streams. If the app only works when connected via Wi-Fi, then AT&T doesn’t have to worry about their 3G servers getting overloaded. In addition, $30 is a tad unreasonable, especially considering you can’t use the app all the time. The same type of app has been available for BlackBerry phones since December as a beta app, and since March as a 1.0 release.

For iPhone owners who have a Slingbox, $30 bucks lying around, and usually in range of a Wi-Fi connection, you will probably be happy with the opportunity to use this app. For the rest of us, it is probably an app we would like to have, but not worth it at this point due to inefficiency/price. Expect it to drop in the App store within the next day or so.

Motorola Announces MOTO W7 Active Edition

2009-05-11T16:39:00.000-07:00

Libertyville, IL -- Shake things up with MOTO W7 Active Edition, a motion-enabled 3G(1) mobile device announced today by Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT - News).

When showing off your photo albums or music libraries, flick the phone right or left to move between songs and images.

MOTO W7 is also designed to move with you. A built-in step pedometer counts and records your daily walks and runs to make every step count.

Sony Ericsson W395 Review

2009-05-10T16:56:00.000-07:00

Introduction:
Feature phones do not enjoy much popularity lately, especially when compared to smartphones that, in turn, are getting more and more advanced. Sony Ericsson managed to win recognition as a leading manufacturer of feature phones based on specific specializations such as quality music or cameras. The Sony Ericsson W395 is one of these phones that won´t take you by surprise in terms of innate intelligence, but will certainly manage to have you immersed in waves of gracefully blending sounds. It´s a perfect match for all practical people who don´t need extreme functionality, but would rather opt for a device that looks appealing and fad, features basic functions and delivers high-quality music.

Design:

The whole touchscreen phone cacoethes has grown to colossal proportions lately and coming across a typical feature phone is a feat worthy of being extolled by bards. We are really satisfied with the 2.2-inch screen of the W395 that is so insensitive that it cannot be even remotely disturbed by direct sunlight. Well, reading dark text against black background may give you slight discomfort and yet everything remains fully legible.
Bearing in mind the price of the device, it´s no wonder Sony Ericsson went for less expensive materials. Of course, this doesn´t necessarily mean the phone would have an unpleasant feel to it and the W395 goes to show this holds true. Taking a look at its front side, the phone looks pretty cool and appealing with its shiny surface and the glossy plastic feels great in your hand. The charger port, where the 3.5mm jack converter can be plugged as well, is on the left side of the phone. The mandatory volume rocker and the camera shutter are onto the right side, while the M2 memory expansion slot is on the top one of the phone.
Oh, we almost forgot. Actually, the Sony Ericsson W395 is a slider! Typing away with the numeric keypad feels pleasant, but keep in mind the smaller your hand is, the more comfortable texting will feel, since the keys into the most inner side column (the one on your left hand side if you hold the phone in your left hand and vice versa) are a bit hard to reach with your thumb. The weight is well balanced and the device won´t feel wobbly in your hand while trying to dial a number or type in a short message.

The back side of the device is something lovely to behold – the 2-megapixel camera looks like it has been hidden inside one of the two speakers, which are located in the opposite ends of the side. Sony Ericsson´s logo, along with the one of the Walkman series has made it to the back panel. You can´t fail to notice the eccentric pattern on the back, when the phone is opened, that perfectly goes with the overall design of the handset.
All told, the Sony Ericsson W395 is an extremely cute looking phone, especially in its black-purple color solution (our unit).

Nokia E52 Smartphone Offers Long Battery Life

2009-05-07T16:55:00.000-07:00

Nokia, the world's top mobile phone maker, today unveiled the E52 smartphone, an Eseries business device that claims eight hours of talk time and 23 days of standby time.
The Finnish company said the E52 comes with a 2.4-inch display with automatic landscape support, a built-in 3.2-megapixel camera and noise-cancellation technology for better call quality.

A feature called Call Connect can also hook the handset up to corporate phone systems -- so users can have call routing to one number and one voicemail.

It supports personal and work email through Nokia Messaging, Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Notes Traveller.

Other features include high-speed Internet via HSPDA/HUSPA, Wi-Fi connectivity and A-GPS with Nokia Maps.

The Nokia E52 will be available in metal grey and golden aluminium colors in the second half of this year for $325.

Nokia E75 Review

2009-05-06T16:56:00.001-07:00

Introduction:

Doing business would be quite an uphill battle without cell phones or the services that the Internet offers. There are many mobile devices these days that deliver a growing number of functions, previously available on computers only. It´s been a while since you needed a mouse and keyboard to check your emails or enter the Web and read the breaking news. You can do all that with most of the cell phones today. There is a make to fit virtually any customer, no matter if they are high-tech buffs, fashion-obsessed savvies or, as in this specific case, business-minded people.
Today, we are bringing the Nokia E75 to your attention. One of the latest business series add-ons of the Finnish manufacturer was officially announced at the MWC 2009. It´s the current flagship model in their E-series and sources from the company have recently shared with us that the phone is the best messaging device they have ever made. Moreover, the manufacturer claims creation of the E75 has been heavily influenced by the experience they gained with their Communicator series. The phone sports a side sliding, full-fledged QWERTY keyboard and that´s a novelty feature on an “E” device. As you have probably guessed already, it is a high-end device that offers Wi-Fi, A-GPS, HSDPA and 3.2-megapixel LED flash camera that offers Macro shooting mode.
What's in the box?

Design:

The Nokia E75 looks like a successor to the Nokia E75 at first, because creates the impression that it doesn´t open and sports the same metal edging and back cover. But looks can be deceiving. We´ve got our hands on a silver-black unit, but other two varieties are also being offered, in red and copper-yellow. Its dimensions are acceptable given the “hidden” QWERTY keyboard and functions it offers. Truth be told, the phone is quite slimmer (14.4 mm.) alongside of other devices with similar design. It weighs hefty 139 gr. and we definitely cannot say it´s light as a feather.
It features a 2.4-inch display with 240x320 pixel resolution and 16 mln. colors. We need to point out it delivers very good image quality with saturated colors. Details look a bit worn out in the sunlight, but remain easily legible. The earpiece, surrounded by video call camera and light sensor, lurks right above the display. The navigation buttons and shortcuts aren´t quite easily discernible which may annoy some customers, but still most people will be able to get used to that quickly, since all buttons have a good travel and pressing them is distinctly felt. We have absolutely no issues with the keypad, since all buttons are large enough and pressing them is fairly easy to feel. On both its sides you have the microUSB and microSDHC card slots, both hidden underneath snuggly fitting rubber flaps, the volume keys, voice recognition button (hard to press) and camera shutter. The more interesting thing is the 3.5 mm jack on the top side that makes for a nice extra feature on a business oriented cell phone.

OK, ok! Let´s open the QWERTY keyboard and no violence if possible! Sliding mechanism feels solid, but is fairly easy to push open. Buttons look optimally aligned, arranged in four rows and are large enough, so even people with thicker fingers shouldn´t have any problems with that. They are easy to get used to and pressing them feels clearly discernible. We were taken a bit aback when we first saw the metal band running along the middle part of the keyboard and ending just above the space button. The only remark we have doesn´t regard the band, but the upper button row that is located really close to the edge, because ended up pushing our fingers against it fairly often. As a whole, we are more than pleased with the keyboard on the Nokia E75 and we believe it to be one of the best we have ever used. Congrats, Nokia!

$34K iPhone blings and beckons the rich and famous

2009-05-05T19:17:00.001-07:00

As if owning an iPhone itself is not prestigious enough, a $34K solid gold iPhone places the bar a notch higher for common folks like me. This solid gold iPhone comes from the maker of electronic bling, Stuart Hughes, and is finished and polished by hand. The icing is on the apple - the Apple logo we mean - which is decorated with 53 diamonds. Instead of crying hoarse and still not getting anywhere closer to it, I have decided that admiring from a distance would suit me just fine for the time being. Sniffle.

RIM Plans New BlackBerry Storm, Eyes Retail Market

2009-05-05T19:05:00.000-07:00

Smartphone maker Research In Motion said it is designing a new version of its touch screen BlackBerry Storm as part of a continuing push to move from business devices to more consumer friendly handsets.
"We have next-generation devices with touch screens and the whole roadmap," said RIM co-chief executive Jim Balsillie. "We see this very large and untapped consumer market."

Launching the Storm late last year, many analysts saw the handset as RIM's answer to rival Apple's popular iPhone -- also a touch screen smartphone.

The Waterloo, Ontario-based company has been steadily pushing deeper into the retail market, diversifying its portfolio with more consumer friendly devices such as the Storm and Pearl -- integrating them with photo management software and music players.

RIM has also been careful to remain faithful to its core group of professionals who have been its mainstay. Early success with businesspeople, whose firms pay for the service or who need the device to send secure emails, have allowed RIM to plow money into developing consumer models.
Last month, RIM signaled further growth after announcing that itsprofits jumped 25 percent despite the slowing economy.

Incase Power Slider, More Power for Battery Hungry iPhone 3G

2009-04-28T18:13:00.000-07:00

Some of us couldn't live without his/her iPhone for a few minutes, let alone hours. Had we stopped trying to beat Rolando and to set never-ending new record in Zombieville, iPhone battery life is decent, to say the least. However, if you are the kind of person who cannot accept tradeoff between game time and talk time, Incase says you need a secondary battery like their Power Slider.

Incase Power Slider directly competes withMophie Juice Pack Air; it offers case protection while extending iPhone up-time through its integrated 1330mAh Li-ion polymer battery, which equals to 120% of phone's battery capacity. Built-in cell technology also prevents overcharging and short circuiting. The Incase provides 5 light LED battery status indicator that is found on the Mophie as well. According to the company, the Power Slider can manage to squeeze between 1 to 6 hours of battery life more than the Juice Pack Air depending on your usage.

Standby time: up to 330 hours

Audio playback: up to 26 hours

Talk time: up to 5 hours on 3G network and 10 hours on 2G network

Video playback: up to 7 hours

Internet use: up to 5 hours on 3G network and 6 hours on Wi-Fi

Tin Can App Turns The iPhone Into A Modem

2009-04-28T18:03:00.000-07:00

This is one of those iPhone apps that manages to be pointless but cool at the same time. Tin Can essentially turns a couple of iPhones into old-school modems, allowing you to send and receive text messages using sound, instead of a network connection. Of course it’s not exactly a very useful alternative to a 3G or wi-fi connection since the iPhones basically have to be sitting about an inch apart, or as long as the included headset cables will reach. So there’s a good chance you’ll not only be able to talk to the person you’re communicating with, but you’ll probably be able to see their screen as they’re typing out a message. So whether or not you think you can squeeze 99 cents worth of fun out of it is up to you.

Cellular One VITA Wireless Samaritan Honorees Announced

2008-12-29T16:00:00.000-08:00

Recently in Oklahoma City, Cellular One has honored 9 different Cellular One customers that exemplified how cell phones can be beneficial in emergency situations. Each of these 9 Cellular One customers have been in an emergency situation, sometimes being life-threatening. Also, in each situation, each customer relied on their cell phone to get help to their location. Cellular One has chosen to honor these customers, as they feel that they exemplify the significance of wireless technology in our every day lives. Along with their special recognition from Cellular One, each of these customers were also awarded with free cell phones.

HTC 4300

2008-12-15T16:17:00.000-08:00

CelluarOne's HTC 4300 is a great addition to their current lineup. The HTC smartphone that utilizes a full Qwerty keyboard and is also based off of the popular Windows Mobile 5 OS. The HTC 4300 is very similar to the MDA, in fact I think they're based off of the same platform, but none the less the HTC 4300 is quite the looker. For a phone that houses such features such as web browsing, picture messaging, memory card expansion slot, wifi, bluetooth, and a video recorder you would expect to be lugging around a computer. That's not the case with the HTC 4300 since it is complied nicely into a sleek and subtle phone. The HTC 4300 is currently available for about $479 from Cellular one of San Luis Obispo and for what you get with the phone, I would recommend this unit to any smart phone fanatic that uses CellularOne.

Cellular One/Dobson to be acquired by AT&T

2008-12-02T15:42:00.000-08:00

AT&T had recently announced their plans to acquire small-time competitor Dobson Communications, which competes with AT&T in 16 different states nationwide. The acquisition of Dobson will allow AT&T to further strengthen and broaden its networks, taking advantage of areas where Dobson's network was once dominant to AT&T's. This will allow AT&T to extend its service and products, such as the iPhone, to areas like Alaska that couldn't once access these products before. This is a big move by AT&T, as it is going to cost them about $5 billion to complete this acquisition, which includes Dobson's $2.3 billion outstanding debt. If all goes as planned, things should be nearing completion by December.

Nokia 6300 from CellularOne

2008-11-25T15:46:00.000-08:00

Ultimately, no mobile phone is ever the best. As mobile technology advances, better mobile phones are produced. So it all boils down to superb functionality at a low price. CellularOne offers such combination through the Nokia 6300. A Nokia mobile phone for less than a hundred bucks, expect that you will get much.
The Nokia 6300 employs the classic candy bar degn which is easy on the eyes and at the same time, provides a firm grip for its users. But if you're looking for too much features in this phone than what you really need, understand that the Nokia 6300 is first and foremost, a phone. Its bread-and-butter is to receive and make calls. The sound clarity is above average, offering you a more than decent performance on the conversation side. If it’s any consolation, the 6300 can play songs on mp3 and wma formats. The picture quality is also good. The Bluetooth connectivity allows users to engage calls and listen to music using Bluetooth headsets, and do other Bluetooth-related activities.

The only downside of this mobile phone is that the outer case is less than durable. But you can always get Nokia accessories if you want to change the looks and further enhance the protection level of your phone.

Nokia 5700 for CellularOne

2008-11-18T15:52:00.000-08:00

The Nokia 5700 became one of CellularOne’s hottest items in terms of sales. Speaking of which, it reveals that more and more people prefer mobile phones slash music and video player. Who doesn’t? Being able to turn you mobile phone to the ultimate companion during those long boring moments is one good thing. Twisting it to become the meanest sound wave conjurer is a better thing. Killing time has never been this entertaining.

Of course, to enjoy the full features of the 5700, one needs to pair with the right mix of cell phone accessories. Accessories for sound, specifically. Having Bluetooth connection with this mobile phone means you get to share, load, and play music without the hassles of wire. Hook the 5700 with original Nokia Bluetooth headsets and speaker, as well as other Nokia accessories, voila! You got yourself a music entertainment central.

As for the looks, interchangeable cell phone cases for the 5700 might be limited because of its unique twist design. But the stock case looks good enough, who needs to replace it?

That said, the Nokia 5700’s performance as a phone is notable. CellularOne offers this mobile phone for as low as $205.99. That amount would seem sky high. But the benefits are worth it if you have some cash to spare. Otherwise, there are still good music phones out there that do not cost that much.

Panasonic P904 cell phone

2008-11-06T15:46:00.000-08:00

This is Panasonic P904 cell phone from Japan. Nice sized normal looking phone that packs something unique. Like Nintendo Wii, this phone's functions can be activated using motion. By shaking the phone in different motion, you can program the phone to activate certain functions. Nintendo Wii for cell phone, now here....

Missing My L6

2008-10-02T16:41:00.000-07:00

I used to own a Motorola L6 from Cellular One once and I just have to say I had both good and bad times with this mobile phone. I just like the fact that it's not A RAZR, though there are similarities in their interface construction. Also, my L6 was given to me as a present, so there is what we call a 'sentimental value' attached to it. But sad to say, I had to part with my Motorola L6 when I need to upgrade to an advanced mobile phone.
I really had a hard time packing up all those Motorola cell phone accessories I have purchased throughout my time with my L6. I had customized cell phone cases of different designs and a couple of cell phone batteries I bought when my L6 accidentally fell to the floor. I did have my share of signal nightmares where I have to get to the roof in order for me to catch some reception.
Sure, I miss my L6. But life has got to go on, right?

HTC S621 for Cellular One

2008-09-24T16:54:00.001-07:00

Being able to take charge of your business and personal life at the palm of your hand is power. But you need to have the right gadget to do so. Juggling two or more phones is an obvious hassle. But during the course of time, along with communications technology breakthroughs, we have now what we call the smart phone. However, choosing the right smart phone that perfectly meshes with your lifestyle and can keep up with our varying pace is quite tricky, so to speak. Honestly, there is no 100% guarantee that you will pick up the perfect smart phone for you. There is always something better out there. Always.
But if perfection is not on your list and you prefer ultimate function instead, then I suggest the HTC S621 for Cellular One. Of course, there are smart phones which are way better in every aspect, but the HTC S621 is not far behind. Aside from decent performances on all its features, the HTC S621 also had a sleek design. Cell phone accessories for the HTC S621 are widely distributed so you won't have any problems getting cell phone cases and cell phone covers, and the likes.
Cellualr One offers the HTC S621 for as low as $279.95. For that price, the HTC S621 can be a good buy or a deal buster. But then, you are not aiming for perfection, are you?

Sony Ericcson Z310 for Cellular1

2008-09-15T16:50:00.000-07:00

For as low as $24.99, you can now have the Sony Ericsson Z310 by way of CellularOne. The Sony Ericsson Z310 was not designed for upper echelons of the consumer strata, but it sure does work like a high end mobile phone.

The Sony Ericsson is one of those mobile phones that use VGA cameras. In addition to that, the Sony Ericsson Z310 takes high quality photo for a VGA camera. Apart from that, the Z310 also has a wide solid range of features that would put other mobile phones within its price range to shame. The design is also something worth noting. For a clamshell, the Sony Ericsson is a beauty. No need to get those customized cell phone covers and other cell phone accessories for the looks overhaul. Although the plastic feel makes the Z310 seem cheap, the overall performance compensates entirely for that. And speaking of performance, the talk time max for this phone is a whooping 7 hours. No need to get spare cell phone batteries.

Is there a mobile phone out there that can top that?

Motorola ROKR E1 for Cellular One

2008-09-04T17:30:00.000-07:00

The Motorola ROKR E1 is the first non-Apple mobile phone that utilizes the iTunes music applications. As far as music is concerned, the Apple iPod has been very remarkably consistent on being the best portable music player. The fusion between Motorola and Apple to produce a very notable music phone is most likely a take on Sony Ericsson and Walkman's domination on that category.

But whether Motorola and Apple succeed or not, the Motorola ROKR E1 surely rocks! With built-in memory that can hold up to 100 songs, a very crisp voice quality on the headset and stereo speakers, and other features that, well, rock. Clad this mobile phone with Motorola cell phone accessories like cell phone cases, cell phone covers, etc. and you are good to go.
Cell phone batteries go a long way wit this mobile phone. Average talk time can go as far as 4 hours and 20 minutes. Stand by time can last for 230 hours.

Virgin Mobile - The Best Prepaid Service in the US!

2008-08-20T16:46:00.000-07:00

JD Power and Associates recent rankings put Virgin Mobile USA as the #1 prepaid wireless service provider for customer satisfaction in the

This is the second year in a row that they have been honored with this title, so they must be doing something right. Hopefully we can continue to see great service from Virgin in the future.

On Verizon

2008-08-17T21:10:00.000-07:00

Verizon has a wide range for both mobile phones and mobile phone accessories. Parading an impressive array of cell phones from Nokia, BlackBerry, Samsung, and a lot others, no wonder Verizon has been named one of the power players in the mobile phone carrier scene. They also have Nokia accessories, BlackBerry accessories, Motorola cell phone accessories, among others so customizing and improving the looks and functions of your phone is no problem at all. And if you don’t need to go branded, Verizon also has an assortment of generic cell phone accessories to boot.
Plus, Verizon covers a wide range of network so signal strength is already in the bag. Verizon also offers affordable packages along with notable premiums to ensure that each and every individual has a mobile phone in his or her possession. And obviously, cell phone ownership is pretty much necessary if every one of us wants to better our lives, or something else.

TRACFONE Motorola W370

The Motorola W370 is a sleek and sophisticated looking phone currently being offered by Tracfone.

In a recent effort to overshadow the iPhone and to stay on the map, Verizon has upgraded its EV-DO network to Revision A technology. This service, which has already been implemented in areas across the nation, will allow Verizon subscribers to access content and extremely higher rates of speed. EV-DO subscribers can expect average downloads times to be between 600kbps to 1.4 Mbps and the upload times will be within the 500-800 kbps range. This is a great attempt from Verizon to up their network to combat the surge in service offered by competing carriers from the likes of Cingular and Sprint. Kudos to Verizon for upping their network, next on the list is to offer better looking phones.
