In the early days, Blackberries are only meant for the business-minded. Yet, just like any other thing that undergoes evolution, the BlackBerry RIM 1800 Pearl proves that even teens can be sophisticated.

The Blackberry Pearl 8100 is not only a smartphone but flashy and fashionable as well, just like any typical teenager. You can add some of your personal accessories in them. In the design department, the phone stands out. It appears to be very small and lightweight. It also feels good when gripped by your hand and the combination of black housing and silver accents denotes class. As teens are known to be rather clumsy, parents do not have to worry as it is not as slippery as you think.

The Blackberry Pearl employs the SureType technology, or predictive text messaging. The software functions really well when it comes to guessing the words as well as in learning new ones. For data transmission, the phone uses EDGE technology. If your area does not support this, you can always use GPRS. Speed of data is rather fast when its loading some of the most favorite web pages of youngsters nowadays such as ESPN or CNN. However, it cannot support Javascript applications, so downloaded games in Java environment may not sit well in Blackberry Pearl.

Teens are also fond of setting up multiple e-mail accounts for a variety of purposes, and Blackberry Pearl can allow them to set up to 10 e-mail accounts. It will also allow you to send attachments so you can now share pictures, music, or any other kinds of files to your friends and family conveniently. RIM, makers of the phone, has also predicted that there will be countless new users, so they added a wizard that can help in setting up your e-mail accounts into the phone. You just need to encode your username and password for each of these accounts and you can let the wizard do the rest of the job. The integrated Web browser permits you to save all your favorite pages by bookmarking them.

Pearl possesses one of the most beautiful cameras, though it might not be comparable to other real digicams. Its 1.3-megapixel camera can zoom in an image up to 5 times and can capture quality pictures. You can also choose among the different image resolutions. Moreover, you may adjust a couple of camera settings, which include white balance, flash, or change the storage location of your pictures. Images appear to be sharp and colors are somewhat accurate, save for purple tint in some of them. All it needs is strong lighting such as when you are indoor or the sun when you are in the outdoors.

You can replace the battery of Pearl though you may also recharge it if you like to. Talk time can range between 3.5 and 4.5 hours. Standby time, meanwhile, can be as good as 15 days.

The Blackberry Pearl can help your teen enjoy the benefits of being young while training them how to handle the future: soon they will be professionals and businessmen.

Best Tracfone Plan for Those on a Strict Budget

noreply@blogger.com (Lemski) — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 10:10:00 +0000

There are many benefits when it comes to prepaid cellular service. Unlike postpaid or regular cellular services, the prepaid plans can allow you to pay only as you use the service. Thus, users can better manage their finances that are related with cellular phone utilization. If you do not use the phone, then you are not going to pay anything—it is as simple as that. Prepaid services also permit you to carry over whatever remaining minutes you have as long as your phone is kept active. People who only use phones occasionally or during emergencies can also take advantage of prepaid cellular services. There is no need to sign any contract or written agreement to any mobile phone carrier. Elderly individuals and early teens cannot be bothered by the demands that come along with the usual cellular postpaid plans.

Phones with prepaid services can be used without having to pay any activation fee or making any deposit. There is also no need for any credit check if you are trying to purchase prepaid cellular services, especially if it is with Tracfone. You will not be hassled by submitting numerous financial documents to prove your capability of paying. There are no hidden costs. You will know exactly your airtime rates, which can already cover other fees as well as taxes.

For individuals who are in their strictest budget, you can take advantage of the 50-minute value plan of Tracfone. In fact, it is the easiest means to keep your phone services active all the time. This plan works perfectly well if you need a steady airtime supply at the most affordable price. It is also advisable if you have already forgotten to include a new airtime before the date when your services end (this is displayed on the Tracfone). Of course, this is your most convenient mode if you are technically using 50 minutes’ worth of airtime every month but do not want to upgrade to a regular plan.

With the plan, you automatically add 50 minutes of airtime to your services every month. There is also an additional 30 days of service monthly. You can either sign up these services through checking account or credit card at only $9.99 per month. What is an additional dollar to your expenses, right? And if you do not like the service, cancellation is as easy as the registration.

There are no more delays to the addition of 50 minutes to your Tracfone. You can receive it automatically. However, you only have to make sure that your phone is turned on. You can add additional minutes too on your own by simply logging in to your My Account in the Tracfone website and clicking on Yes located at the Updated column. This is for any serial number that still has pending minutes. The moment you complete your enrolment will also be the time of your enrolment date.

Best Cell Phone for Young Kids

noreply@blogger.com (Lemski) — Sat, 15 Sep 2007 16:22:00 +0000

Just think of this scenario. Your kid has been bugging you all day and night for their own cellular phone, but you are apprehensive since, well, they are kids. Nevertheless, you cannot deny the fact that cell phones are indeed a good way of keeping in touch with your kids and keeping track of them when you are out. They can also prove to be highly invaluable when emergency happens within the family.

On the other hand, cell phones can mean responsibility. They have to keep track of their phone and need to be very mindful of any allotted minutes. They should also stay away from any expensive add-ons like swapping images or text messaging.

The Firefly phone can be the simplest phone that you may probably encounter. There are no keypads, no cameras, no MP3 players, and no video playback. Who needs them anyway? Instead, your kid will be treated to an almost candy-bar style. It is highly compact and very lightweight, which makes it perfect to your kid’s pocket or kiddie bag. Also included in the package are a backpack clip and a lanyard.

The monochrome display is very small, so if your kids are having eyesight problems, you might give the phone an initial test run. The screen also shows the battery life, time, date, caller ID, and signal strength. And despite being a very small and limited phone, there are still a wide variety of choices when it comes to style. By default, the phone comes with its very cool see-through case. But you can also choose other extra color skins which you can purchase through Firefly.

What makes Firefly an ultimate kiddie phone is the kind of control parents can have over their children through their phone. The phone book, for example, can contain as much as 20 contacts, not to mention the designated numbers for both Mom and Dad. So for your kids not to go into a calling frenzy, you can protect the phone book and the call-screening function with a PIN. This means that when call screening is active, your kid can only receive phone calls from numbers that are stored only in their phone book—no unknown number can contact them. No numbers can be added to the phone book unless you enter the PIN, and even if the phone is capable of displaying a missed calls and call timers list, your kid cannot accept any voice mailbox messages.

Aside from these, the phone is practically barebones. There are no organizer and messaging applications, yet Firefly tries to compromise this with other functionalities. For example, you can choose from a wide variety of colors for backlights as well as screen animations. You can also activate the light while you are charging the phone. There are 12 monophonic ringtones which you can designate for every contact in your phone book, including those of Mom’s and Dad’s. Your child will definitely enjoy the varying lights sparkling every time the phone rings.

It may not be easy to teach responsibility to kids, but a Firefly phone can help you out. And with a price of $100, it is definitely worth every buck.
