We Review Phones

While I know that this particular blog is all about cell-phones, I thought that we would switch gears a little bit and move on over to the brand new handset by VTech.  This brand is well-known for their landline phones and I have to say that I am super excited about their brand new Push-To-Talk DECT 6.0 Cordless phone system!

This particular phone system actually allows for instant communication for large households and small offices, where you can PTT (Push to Talk) for instant voice delivery through the speakerphone of the phone.

This particular cordless phone system is awesome just because of the technology that is packed into it.

When you think about it, there are so many different phone companies out there and so many different phones for you to choose from.  Did you know that LG has actually come out with one phone that I am in love with though?

The brand new Android-powered device was debuted at CES and since then, there have been a lot of talking about this particular phone.  The LG GT450  is actually touted as a specialized social networking smartphone.

The phone itself is powered by Android 2.0 OS and it also includes a camera, a MicroSD card expansion kit.  This phone is going to be launched in April 2010 and there is no info on pricing just yet.

When you are talking about cell phones, there is one particular cell phone company that comes to mind and that is LG.  I can tell you for sure, that anything that comes out of the LG workshop is not only going to be quality, but it is going to be awesome.

Take the LG Shine II for example, this is a phone that I can tell you for sure is making waves all over the place and the specs alone blow me away quite a bit.  The phone is a slider phone and it has a 2.2-inch wider mirror LCD display, the camera is a 2MP with flash and it has a music player on it.

It also has AT&T navigator, GPS, Bluetooth and of course quad-band GSM connectivity.

Christmas will be here before you know it, and a lot of people are already turning their attention to finding the perfect gift for their loved ones.

Over the years, cell phones, smart phones, and other mobile devices have become popular gift choices, and with good reason. They do make great gifts, if you are willing to do some research and put a lot of time and effort into learning about the recipient.

You need to know what the person who will be getting the gift likes, wants, and needs. Getting a high tech cell phone for someone who only wants to make and receive calls isn’t a great idea. Getting a standard cell phone for someone who likes to take pictures and send text messages is likewise a bad idea.

Know who you’re buying for, and you can make the recipient very happy.

Say what you will about Verizon, but they do like to keep it fresh — like with their new … fish finding phone. Uh huh, yep, you read that right.

Just today, the carrier company unveiled their Casio G’zOne Rock, a clam shell handset with six different operating modes — one of which details sea levels as well as tides, so users can simply look to their phones to see if the fish are likely to be biting.

The Rock, as the phone is charmingly known, was made for those users who lead very active lives. Other modes of operation are tailored to climbing and hiking. There is an Earth Compass Mode which uses GPS to locate the distance for forty places around the world. You can count your steps, find the temperature, even calculate how many days there are until the moon is next full or new.

What is the company that you think about when you think cell phones?  For me – it is all about Samsung; however a newer company named Casio seems to be taking the show with the brand new Casio IT-800 RGC-35 Rugged PDA.  This is a PDA cell phone that is actually pretty neat looking and has a 3.7-inch VGA display along with a low-reflection touch panel screen, which is pretty awesome.

Some other specs on this particular phone include the high speed 3G wireless WAN (HSDPA) capability as standard feature. What makes the Casio IT-800 RGC-35 more interesting is that it supports IP54-rated dust/splash proof and can withstand being dropped on concrete from a height of 1.5 meters.

This phone also is packed with tons of other features, but you are going to have to look them up!

The HTC Touch Pro2 was recently released for popular T-Mobile, as well as Verizon and Sprint. Among its many offerings, it has a 3.2 megapixel camera, as well as what is considered to be a revolutionary dual speaker, dual microphone technology called Straight Talk, idea for conference calling in a number of different settings.

The handset uses Mobile 6.5 from Microsoft Windows, so there are plenty of features which are touted as being business friendly. Indeed, you can both view and edit Office documents, you can read email with PDF attachments, you can follow threaded instant messages and emails from as many as five different accounts, you can create presentations, you can check the stocks, and any number of other things.

As well you should, since the phone costs about two hundred dollars, and only then if you get it with service from one of the three providers mentioned.

The Portege G810 by Toshiba is gaining some serious attention. Thus far, it seems that reviewers and users love its colorful menus and its large touch screen. They also love the fact that Windows Mobile is hiding beneath all of those features.

Of course, there is always a bit of bad news. One piece of bad news, in this case, is that it is unlikely that the Toshiba Portege G810 will be seen in the United States any time soon.

This is unfortunate, because by all accounts Toshiba has gone a long way towards making sure Windows Mobile will adapt to the users of the phone. This was no doubt a feat, since Windows Mobile 6 is not known for being the best interface in terms of being touch friendly.

Philips is a company that is known for their electronics.  They make everything from TVs all the way to phones now and I think that the Philips brand is actually one that I could trust to produce some quality phones.  That is why I am so excited to announce that Philips is coming out with two brand new touchscreen phones!  The X806 and the C702!

These two phones are absolutely incredible and packed with everything! The X806 offers a 3.5-inch 240 x 400 TFT display, a 5MP camera, a 47MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, an FM radio, Bluetooth and supports quad-band GSM/GPRS connectivity. Meanwhile, the C720 is a CDMA 1X phone that features a 3.4-inch QVGA display, a 1.3MP camera, GPS, a 70MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot and Bluetooth connectivity.

All of that in two phones?  It truly is incredible and while we don’t have pricing yet, I’m sure that the phones should be coming out here soon!

Finally, finally, finally they gave a release month for the brand new phone from Sony – the Sony Ericsson Xperia X3.  This is a phone that is going to be Sony Ericsson’s very first Android smartphone and it is supposed to be released in January of next year.  This is a very, very high-end smartphone and it is by far going to be one of the most expensive smartphones on the market.

If you are looking for the brand new Sony Ericsson Xperia X3 – you should learn a little bit about it right?  Well, this particular smartphone will feature a 4-inch touchscreen display with 800 x 400 resolution, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, an 8MP autofocus camera, a new customized user interface, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and a 3.5mm headset jack.  All of which is standard!

High end?  This Sony Ericsson is not only high end, it is a smartphone of the future!
