Mobile Phones Will Never be the Same Again – the Blackberry Storm 9500 is Here!
Fruit-based communications – the history of Blackberry mobile phones
When you look round the world of mobile phones, most phones seem to have one thing, one key point that sticks in your mind. The Apple iPhone’s known for its flashy interface. Sony Ericsson are known for Cyber-Shot and Walkman mobile phones… and Blackberry mobile phones are known for email. It won’t surprise you to learn that the first Blackberry mobile phones (well, let’s call them ‘devices’, for now) were focused heavily on instant email, wherever you were. That was their party trick, and it was so powerful a tool that Blackberry mobile phones became the standard for business phones. Rarely would you see a businessman using anything but a Blackberry mobile phone! But then, something happened, and they went all commercial. They weren’t content with being just business mobile phones any more, Blackberry devices wanted to finally live up to the name ‘mobile phone’ and crack the non-corporate sector, too. Their first assaults, the Blackberry Pearl, and Blackberry Curve, are still going strong today, and loads of people have joined the Cult Of Blackberry (and even more will do because of the Blackberry Bold).
But there’s one mobile phone that’s destined to be the star of the show for Blackberry this year, and with very good reason. It’s their first ever touchscreen mobile phone, it’s got innovation pouring out of every orifice, and it’s one of the sexiest and most powerful mobile phones of the year.
Yep, it can only be the Blackberry Storm 9500…
Blackberry Storm 9500 – more than just a storm in a teacup…
The Blackberry Storm 9500 is a first in more ways than one. Not only is it the first touchscreen mobile phone ever made by them, but the Blackberry Storm 9500 is the first phone ever to have a clickable, moving screen. I’ll say that again. The screen on the Blackberry Storm 9500 moves. And why is that? Well, because it makes the action of selecting something on screen, pressing down on it, feel like you’re pressing a physical button, giving you FAR more tactile feedback than any other mobile phones can manage. So good is this concept, that when using the virtual keyboard on the Blackberry Storm 9500 feels almost identical to using a real, physical keyboard! No other mobile phones in the world can claim that.
In terms of features, you a 3 megapixel camera (which isn’t as good as some other mobile phones on the market, but does still produce some really nice photos), HSDPA internet access and GPS, as well as a brilliant music and video player. Oh, and incidentally, given that the screen is also huge, videos played on the Blackberry Storm 9500 look fantastic.
Come on, how good is the Blackberry Storm 9500, really?
Ok, so it’s full of cool features, it’s got a unique clicky screen, but when you get right down to it, is the Blackberry Storm 9500 (or just the Blackberry Storm, if you can’t be bothered to keep using its full name) really that good? Well, yes, it is, quite frankly. Sure, you can list the features till the cows come home, but the true mark of quality in mobile phones is how a particular device makes you feel, and, well, the Blackberry Storm 9500 will make you feel brilliant. From clicking down on that screen (which just rocks), to watching videos, to the full Blackberry email service (which, yes, you do get), the Blackberry Storm 9500 is just phenomenal. So, to the answer the question… is the Blackberry Storm 9500 any good? No. It’s even better!

How To Get A Great Deal On A New Cellphone
If you’re in the market for a new cellphone, now is a great time to go shopping. Cellular carriers and resellers are constantly offering special offers. Some companies offer free cellphones (after rebates), calling plans with thousands of minutes, etc.
With all these ads, where do you start? You can go to a local wireless store and see the latest makes and models. You can also research a variety of cellphones on the Internet. If you go to a wireless store, be prepared to spend some time, energy, and gas.
If you want to shop from home or the office, and avoid any sales hassles, you can shop for a new cellphone on the Internet. You’ll save time, money, and gas, and possibly get a better deal on a new cellphone.
Three factors will determine how much you will pay for a new cellphone: 1.) PRICE, 2.) FEATURES, and 3.) CALLING PLAN.
If you’re on a tight budget and don’t want to pay anything up front for a cellphone, look for cellphone offers with instant rebates. The instant rebate amount is deducted from the cellphone’s purchase price when you order.
If the cellphone you want costs some money up front, look for cellphone offers with mail-in rebates. You’ll pay the purchase price of the cellphone when you order, and receive a mail-in rebate coupon.
Some cellphone offers promote rebates as much as $100.00 or more. Mail-in rebate checks can take several weeks to arrive, and they’re great if you don’t mind waiting for them. If and when you get a rebate check, it’s like getting cash back. For example, if your cellphone’s purchase price was $100.00, and you receive a $100.00 rebate check, your cost after the rebate is zero.
Cellphones with few features cost less than cellphones with advanced features. If you just want to make calls, you don’t need a cellphone with advanced features. If you’re going to take pictures, download videos, music, and e-mails, you’ll need a high-end model with advanced features like a QWERTY keyboard, camera, large video display, MP3 player, and more.
The last and most important factor is the calling plan. Plans differ from carrier to carrier and you have to decide which plan is best for you. Think how you will be using the phone regularly before choosing a plan. You should estimate how many minutes you will use each day during peak hours, which are typically from 6am-9pm, Monday to Friday. For example, if you can limit your talk time to 30 minutes a day, that comes out to approximately 600 minutes per month.
To get the best deal, look for a plan with the lowest monthly rate and the most minutes per month. Get a plan with more minutes than you’ll need to avoid costly overage charges. Monthly rates of some plans offering the same number of minutes per month could vary. Make sure to look for a plan that offers free long distance, weeknight, and weekend calls. This plan allows you to talk nationwide for a long time at night and on weekends.
If your relatives, friends, and co-workers use the same carrier, you might want to select that carrier. Some carriers offer unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling to other people on the same network or other money-saving features for free or a flat fee.
Some plans don’t offer certain cellphone models, and not all plans are available in all areas. If the plan you choose doesn’t offer the cellphone model you want, search for other cellphones that are offered by the plan. The cellphone you want may be offered by another plan from the same carrier or by a plan from a different carrier.
Great cellphone deals are out there, if you take the time and effort to look for them.

Can the Palm Pre and Toshiba Tg01 Knock the Iphone From Its Perch?
As we approach the Mobile World Congress 09, two phones are set to cause a big stir in the industry, both of which are aiming to take on the iPhone at its own game. Let’s take a look at the two competitors, and ask whether the Toshiba TG01 or the Palm Pre could be the phone that knocks the Apple contender for six…
Toshiba TG01 – the most powerful phone ever made
There have been a few contenders for the title ‘iPhone Killer’ which have run on Windows Mobile, and with good reason, as it’s quite plainly a very powerful operating system, that has an awful lot going for it. There have only been one or two real stand-out handsets, though, most notably the Samsung Omnia and the HTC Touch HD. However, they’re both about to be put firmly in the shade thanks to the launch of the most powerful mobile phone ever made, the Toshiba TG01. But why is it the most powerful phone ever made?
The answer lies within the processor hidden inside the Toshiba TG01, as it’s the first phone in the world to come with a 1GHz chip. Or, in other words, it’s little short of a laptop in the body of a mobile phone. So, the Toshiba TG01 promises to be faster and smoother than any other mobile phone on the market. Ally that with the unique 3D interface running on top of Windows Mobile, and you get a phone that truly is a joy to use. There’s also one other fact that can’t be denied…
Quite apart from it being hyper-fast, with an incredibly fluid interface, the Toshiba TG01 also has the biggest screen on the market, coming in at an unbelievable 4.1 inches. That’s a lot of real estate on screen, and it means that even previously fiddly menu bars are now finger-friendly, given the massive screen size. And as for the virtual keyboard on the Toshiba TG01, the extra size makes it little different from typing on a physical keyboard. Add in the rage of impressive features, including a 3 megapixel camera, broadband-fast internet access, a superb music player and GPS, and it adds up to a simple fact:
The Toshiba TG01 is quite simply the best Windows Mobile phone ever made, and whilst it doesn’t have the cool factor of the iPhone, the TG01 utterly canes it in every other way.
Palm Pre – a phone like NO other
Where the Toshiba TG01 goes for raw processing power, the Palm Pre takes an entirely different route, going instead for elegance. It may not be as powerful as the TG01, but the Palm Pre contains the most fluid and innovative interface ever seen on any phone (and yes, that includes the iPhone). Everything is done using finger swipes and gestures, with a remarkably fluid homescreen that lets you multitask many different apps at once, from mail, to contacts, to web, to video, to absolutely anything you have running on your Palm Pre. The gesture controls make the entire experience remarkably intuitive, and using the Palm Pre for the first time is a genuinely astonishing experience. Of course, it isn’t just about being swish, as the Pre also gives you such small but very useful touches, such as typing on the keyboard, from the homescreen, to search the device, your apps and the internet for what you need, or having a touch-sensitive area that extends below the screen, to make gestu7re control even more fluid, all of which adds up to make the Palm Pre the most user-friendly, and remarkable phone that’s appeared on the market in a long, long time. Of course, they won’t have it all their own way, because such luminaries of the industry as Nokia and Sony Ericsson will also be bringing their A-game to the Mobile World Congress this year, but one thing’s for sure. Between the double-header of the Toshiba TG01 and the Palm Pre, every phone on the market (yes, including the iPhone) should be afraid. Very afraid…

Tips to Minimize the Dangers of Cellphone Usage
Cellphone usage worldwide numbers in the billions. If there is a possibility of injury from these devices, then a lot of people will be affected.
A cellphone is actually a radio transmitter and receiver. It sends and recieves radio frequency electromagnetic waves. The received signals are fairly low level, so I will concentrate on the signal transmitted from the cellphone.
Cellphones transmit mainly at frequencies of 900, 1800 and 1900 Megahertz (MHz). A microwave oven cooks food using a frequency of 915 MHz or 2450 MHz. In other words, the food is not fussy about what frequency you use, as long as it’s in that range, say 900 to 2500 MHz. Which means, cellphones use Microwave Oven frequencies.
A microwave oven puts out a power of about 1000 watts, on average. If you put your head in a microwave oven, it will take about an hour to cook to a nice sizzling crisp.
A cellphone transmits at a power of about 3 watts, and it self adjusts it’s power continually to compensate for poor signal paths, up to a maximum of 5 to 7 watts. Not much, but there’s a twist…
A microwave oven spreads it’s radiation over the whole oven cavity, so that the food is cooked uniformly.
A cellphone has a tiny, array antenna, measuring maybe 2 or 3 cm in length, and it’s right next to your ear. So 5 watts of power is radiating into your head into an area of perhaps 3cm by 0.75cm. That’s a lot of power when concentrated in such a small area.
The cellphone manufacturers have said that they have put “shields” into their phones to keep radiation risks to a minimum.
If you turn around while making a call, does the call cut out or the audio disappear at any time? No, it doesn’t. Radio waves, like light waves, travel in a straight line. If your head got in between the cellphone and the cell transmitter tower, then the signal should be blocked (shielded) by the shield in the phone, as the waves can’t bend once they’ve left the phone.
Which means that those microwaves are going through your head, all the time.
Whenever you’re “on the phone,” you are being microwaved just like the roast in your microwave oven.
So What Can You Do?
If you’ve got a handsfree kit, use it if it’s practical. Don’t use bluetooth – it also transmits radiowaves close to your head, albeit at different frequencies.
If your phone has a loudspeaker, switch it on and speak at a distance. The guy on the other side will still hear you perfectly.
Buy phones with a low Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Don’t let children make long calls. Their soft skuls are much more affected than the hard heads of adults. (See “The Stewart Report.”)
Swop ears every minute or so, to give your head time to “cool down” on that side.
Don’t hold the phone next to your ear while connecting – this is when it transmits at maximum power.
Avoid making calls in weak reception areas, as the cellphone will boost it’s output power to make sure it stays connected.
Keep your conversations short.
Use SMS’s whenever possible.
Avoid sleeping with a cellphone under your pillow. Cellphones transmit even when you are not using them, exchanging data and checking signal strength, at regular intervals.
Avoid carrying the cellphone close to your body. This applies especially to the breast pocket of people with heart problems.
Use a landline whenever possible.
Many people have proven health problems from cellphone usage, brain tumors being the most common, followed by loss of memory, impaired brain function and other symptons. Usually these symptons take a few years to surface.
By taking the simple precautions listed above, we can actually save our lives. Tell your friends too. There’s a lot of people out there that need to know these facts.
You can thank me later!

Sprint Pci Wireless – Getting It Right
Fairly recently Sprint PCS Wireless made headlines in USA Today for offering credit to its business customers for lulls in its nationwide network. Lulls are explained as dropped calls, fast busy signals and other minor problems. However unlike its competitors, Sprint PCS Wireless made a bold offering of a refund for such problems, and some are customers receiving up to 30% of their monthly Sprint cell phone bills.
Such dedication to customer service is at least part of what has driven Sprint PCS Wireless to the top of the charts where it has a strong hold as the number 4 cell phone carrier in the U.S. with around 20 million subscribers nationwide. One thing Sprint does have in common with other cell phone carriers is an interest in improving network design in order to be more accommodating to the most demanding consumers.
Sprint has a solid line of cell phones and cell phone calling plans which run the gamut in prices and offerings which help Sprint to achieve their goal. These plans range in price from $35.00 a month for a basic plan to a comprehensive 1-800 plan for under $100.00 a month. For instance Sprint¡¯s Free and Clear Nationwide plan at $35.00 a month gives you 300 peak minutes and unlimited nights and weekends with nationwide coverage. The cost and strength of coverage varies in major cities. Sprint offers a family plan, Sprint PCS Free and Clear Nationwide 700, for about $128.00 a month. This plan gives 700 shared minutes and unlimited nights and weekends. It costs an additional $20.00 a month for each additional line.
One of Sprint¡¯s most popular plans, Free and Clear (area wide), is perfect for those who rarely travel outside their calling area. The plan offers 1000 peak minutes and unlimited use on nights and weekends. If you travel outside of your calling area on a regular basis you may want to consider one of Sprint¡¯s PCS Free and Clear nationwide 1000 plans, at about $80.00 a month. You can choose a plan with 1000 peak minutes and unlimited nights and weekends or 3000 any time minutes which includes nights and weekends.
Take a look at Sprint¡¯s PM6625 top of the line Nokia phones. This is one of the most complete phones available anywhere. The PM6625 has all the bells and whistles including VGA camera, full customization capability and even has infrared Port. Second on the list is the Sanyo SCP-8100, which includes a camera, is easy to use, can be customized with Sprint ring tones and is small and light weight. Third on the list of phones offered by Sprint is the Handsprint Treo 600, a true cell phone/palm top combination. With a reliable speaker phone, built in camera, Palm OS and more, this phone is great but rather expensive.
