Blackberry Storm 9500

Talkstage — Sat, 02 May 2009 21:17:12 +0000

It’s the first of a new breed of Blackberry mobile phones, combining a revolutionary new type of touchscreen, 3 megapixel camera, GPS, blisteringly fast internet access, and of course, Blackberry emails to make a truly mind-blowing phone. It’s the amazing Blackberry Storm 9500.

In the ongoing craze for touchscreen mobile phones, there’s one particular device that’s been on everyone’s lips. The anticipation’s been huge for it, and with very good reason, as rumours were turning up, that it would be just jaw-dropping. Now it’s been launched, it turns out the rumours are true. The Blackberry Storm 9500 is even better than anyone imagined!

Unique Touchscreen

The secret of the absolute brilliance of th e Blackberry Storm 9500 is its immense screen, which is not just fantastic, but unique in the universe of mobile phones. Not one other device uses that screen. Why is it so special? Well, Blackberry set out to make finding your way round the phone just like using the trackball on their earlier phones, and so, the screen itself moves. You can click it like a button, and it does actually feel like you’re pushing a physical key on the phone. That makes writing messages on the Blackberry Storm 9500 into a truly wonderful experience, because it surpasses any other touchscreen phone, and feels just like a hardware keyboard. And that will be useful, as the Blackberry Storm 9500, naturally, features Blackberry email. This may well be the most perfect mobile email device ever designed!

Simply Incredible

The brilliance doesn’t finish with email on the Blackberry Storm 9500, though. It really deserves the name ‘smartphone’. You get blisteringly fast, HSDPA web access. And should you find yourself in unfamiliar places, the Blackberry Storm 9500 has GPS integrated into it, in addition to Blackberry Maps, so that it’s a great sat-nav device, as well. Add a 3 megapixel camera, music player, and a superb video player, then give the phone auto-rotation, so that whatever’s onscreen will flip so you always see it the right way up, and you really can’t fault the Blackberry Storm 9500.

What this is, in fact, is one of the most perfect mobile phones ever created. If you want it for business use, the Blackberry Storm 9500 is incredible. If you’re a residential customer, it’s still unbelievable. It’s essentially not far off being the perfect mobile phone!

Good Place for Cell Phone Batteries

Talkstage — Sun, 23 Dec 2007 20:08:52 +0000

With as much as my cell phone seemingly stays attached to the side of my head these days (or, in the case with my blue-tooth, literally stays attatched to the side of my head) it becomes more and more common for me to end up with a cell-phone battery that always seems to be on its last leg of power and unable to hold a charge like it used to.

My actual available talk-time slowly but surely becomes less and less, making it likely that right when I’m in the middle of my most important calls the all too familiar beeping starts and the conversation is interrupted until I can hunt a charger down and get powered back up. By this time, the flow of the conversation can be completely disrupted and many times is quite difficult to get back.

Although there is a positive side to this, my getting an earful from my significant other and praying for my cell-phone to die as an escape probably isn’t a good enough reason to have a battery that doesn’t hold a charge the way it did when first purchased.

AtBatt.com completely simplifies the process of finding replacement cell phone batteries for my cell-phone, eliminating the hassle of having to find a local dealer wherever I am and going out of my way to track it down. The moment I now notice the drop in my cell-phone talk time, I can soon have a replacement sent in no time right to my front door.

Mobile phones that spy on you

Talkstage — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 10:46:27 +0000

With mobile phones being everywhere, have you ever thought about a phone that can Spy on you? Spy Review is a gadget site dedicated to everything that’s spy related. You’ll be surprised at just how many devices are phones that can spy on you. From a cordless phone with a built-in spy camera to a rather older looking Nokia 3310 spy phone that will answer any calls made to it to and allow you to listen to conversations around the phone!

It seems to be either that a cellphone can listen to your conversations or it contains a camera. However, with electronic devices getting smaller, maybe someday your own phone will be spying on you!

The iPhone is coming

Talkstage — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 19:55:18 +0000

The has been a lot of rumours around the UK release date for the much sought iPhone, but on September 18 Apple finally put a halt to the gossip by announcing that the iPhone will be available in UK stores on November 9, 2007. If you want to buy iPhone in the UK, you need to get to an Apple Retail store, The Carphone Warehouse, or an O2 store. You can also order your iPhone online. During his speech on September 18, Steve Jobs announced that the iPhone price in the UK will be £269.00. Telefonica O2 will be the exclusive carrier and you must sign up for an 18-month long plan with them when you purchase your iPhone. Telefonica O2 offers three different UK iPhone plans ranging from £35 to £55 per month. The O2 plan included in the £900 starter package is the £35 plan which comes with 200 minutes and 200 SMS per month. If you plan on using your iPhone more, you can bump yourself up to 600 minutes and 500 SMS by paying a monthly fee of £45 instead of £35. For the really active users, there is the £55 per month plan which comes with 1200 minutes and 500 SMS. As you can see, the number of SMS is the same for the £45 and £55 iPhone plan.

The UK iPhone price of £269.00 sounds kind of hefty compared to the US$399 paid by U.S. buyers. It should however be noted that the US$399 price does not include tax, while 17.5% VAT is included in the British £269.00 price.
