We Review Phones

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.
