The Phone Blog

As one of the leaders in electronics, LG began introducing innovative mobile phone models at par with some of the top cellular phones on the market today. Recently adding LG EnV, it is also known as VX9900 and is distributed by the Wireless king – Verizon. As far as mobile phones goes, the LG EnV may very well be the EnV of other mobile phones.

The dimensions of the EnV: 4.64 x 2.08 x 0.78 inches and weighs almost 5 ounces. The external LCD screen is 1.25 inches and displays 65,000 colors and up to eight lines of text. When closed, it resembles a a laptop computer. It sports a numeric keypad and external display. Inside, hinges open to reveal a QWERTY keypad and larger internal LCD screen.

The LG EnV is enabled with GPS as well. Verizon subscribers can take advantage of VZ Navigator, so their mobile units can give them turn-by-turn driving directions from the speakerphone. How fun! Moreover, the LG EnV supports Verizon’s Chaperone service where parents have the ability to track their children’s whereabouts using nothing more than a mobile phone.

And if you want a phone with a camera (well, of course you do!), the EnV offers a 2.0 mega pixel digital camera with auto focus and 2.5x digital zoom. There is also an LED flash, night mode, self-timer, and shutter mode control. Photo quality is terrific, as they can be taken in many resolutions as well as adjusted for brightness and color. Like making videos? Well, with the LG EnV, you can capture video up to one hour long. Videos and photos can be attached to MMS and email, saved in the internal 64MB memory, or in the microSD card.

Plus, when you have a EnV cellular phone, there are all kinds of perks for being a Verizon subscriber. For example, you can get multimedia services like VCAST for on-demand live TV broadcasts, VCAST Store for audio downloads, games supported by BREW, and others, all of which can be enjoyed on the EnV. The phone also has Bluetooth, and can sync up with your laptop or desktop PC.

As a media player, the quality of the audio is satisfactory while streaming video displays well with minimal pixellation. According to some, the EnV is a tad bit bulky and hefty. However, overall, I would say, the performance is is good enough to meet the needs of busy business people or the entertainment tech heads out there. The LG EnV also has has voice dialing, voice memo, to-do list, customizable graphics, ring tones, a calendar, games, plus a who lot more fun features you’ve just got to check out.

So there you have it. If you want to turn everyone around you green with envy, run right out today and get yourself an LG EnV ;).

Question: what do you get when you cross Prada with one of the world’s leaders in mobile technology? Answer: A stylish but expensive mobile phone. Meet the the LG Prada.

The Two Twins: LG Prada and Apple iPhone

Released in the spring of 2007, the LG Prada shares a unique feature with Apple’s new iPhone: Both phones no longer use the keypad and other buttons. And both phones have nice size LCD screens. Equipped with a 3 inch screen which displays 16 million colors in 240 x 400 pixels, LG Prada is 3.9 x 2.1 x 0.5 inches and is light-weight at only 3 ounces. The phone comes with an elegant piano black finish with a matching leather case. This little baby costs $849.

LG Prada: Good Looks And Performance

Did I mention that it looks pretty chic? And for that price, you will not be disappointed with LG Prada’s performance. To begin with, which other phone do you know carries 1000 contacts in the phonebook? Not only that, but it has space for an email address, memo and four phone numbers for each of your contacts. On top of that, each of your contacts can be given a polyphonic ring tone and photo ID.

Smart And Entertaining

And if you’re looking for more entertainment, the LG Prada comes with four installed games: Virus and Piper, Halloween Fever and Photo Puzzle. Of course, more games and applications can be downloaded.

With the Prada smartphone you can also surf the internet, email, download and and send instant messages. The sound quality for making calls on the Prada, is no less than superb. This elitist phone is smart too, it houses a 2.0 mega pixel digital camera that doubles as a camcorder for taking videos that can be used as MMS messages. The Prada also supports Bluetooth for file sharing and headsets. It also has a built-in FM radio,

The Cons

However, while the Prada is a fabulous phone, it does have its drawbacks too. For example, you can’t dial by feel on the virtual numeric keypad, nor is there a virtual QWERTY keyboard. To send text messages you have to tap on the virtual numeric keypad - like in a normal mobile phone. Well, you can’t have everything, can you? Also, it would have been better if it offered 3G, so more tasks can be done in less time. BUT, You can personalize the LG Prada using wallpapers, screensavers, and sounds.

Your Own Personal Secretary On The Go

Having your LG Prada with you is a lot like taking your secretary along with you. This smartphone even offers all the right software to view documents. Also, songs in mp3, WMA AAC, formats that you have on your home computer can be easily transferred to your LG Prada - without any special software.

So does YOUR phone wear Prada? If not, you don’t know what you’re missing out on.

Based in Taiwan, (HTC) has been manufacturing high quality smart phones and PDA’s for quite some time. Among their newest products is the HTC Mogul. Distrubted by Verizon and Sprint, this little baby comes shipped with wall charger, USB cable, stereo headset, CD-ROM software, leather case and 512MB memory card for just $399.99.

Is Your Phone Smart?

Still not sure exactly what it is? Well, the HTC Mogul is a smart phone with a multi-touch LCD screen that measures 2.8 inches with 240 x 320 pixels resolution and 65,000 color display. This smart phone comes with a stylus for touch screen input. Slide the phone horizontally to the left and you can access the QWERTY keyboard with nice size buttons for easy tapping.

Organize Your Life With Your Mogul

One of the nice things about this phone is that it’s perfect for organizing your life. For example, you can use it to organize your contacts. How it works is that each contact can have entry for 12 phone numbers, street address, email address, IM ID, and a number of other things. Not only that, but calls can be tagged with polyphonic ring tones and photo IDs. And if that wasn’t enough, voice activated dialing is also supported! The Mogul smart phone is compatible with Word, Powerpoint and Excel. Files with compatible formats can be opened or created on the Mogul. Adobe Reader is also installed for opening PDF’s. And last but not least, the HTC Mogul is capable of SMS, MMS, and email.

Surf The Internet And Take Pictures

The Mogul has Wi-Fi capability and EVDO support. Surfing the web is a breeze on the Mogul - and it’s even simpler with the installed Windows Internet Explorer Mobile browser. This smart phone has Infrared, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity. The Mogul has 96MB internal memory, which can be expanded with an included 512MB microSD card. And, if you’re a Sprint subscriber, you can even watch live TV broadcasts with it. The Mogul is also included with MSN Messenger software for instant messenging.

With the built-in 2.0 mega pixel digital camera, you can take photos up to 1200 x 1600 pixels resolution. It has up to 8x zoom, LED flash, and photo editing tools. The digital camera can capture video up to 30 seconds, and can be saved in MPEG4 or motion JPG format. Photos and video can be attached to MMS and email.

Not Without Its Critics

However, the HTC smart phone is not without it’s critics. For example, the limited memory can limit how productive the phone is - so a larger microSD card will be needed. Navigating with the touch screen and operating with the QWERTY works fine, although the circular toggle button underneath the screen is a bit stiff. Thankfully, downloading is fast, and depending on the service provider, the EVDO support on the HTC Mogul will soon be upgraded.

So, if you’ve ever dreamed of living the life of a mogul, now you can with your new HTC Mogul. Live the life you were meant to live.

Before buying a prepaid phone, there are a lot of choices you need to think about. Not the least of this is the decision concerning which handset to get. This is because of the plain and simple fact that your experience with a prepaid phone service largely hinges on what phone unit you are using. Only a few phones can really take full advantage of all the features provided by the technology of prepaid phones today.

When you pick prepaid phone models, you first need to determine what choices you have to select from. This is because a lot of prepaid phone companies today offer only certain phone models. Likewise, there are also certain phone models which are sold entirely by different prepaid phone companies. There is also the fact that you need to ascertain if the phone model you want is actually offered by the company in your area.

One company, Tracfone, permits you to do this using a very handy tool: the internet. Through the company’s website, you are able to browse through the different units available in your area and get the best one for you. This means that you don’t even have to go out in order to see your options.

When you pick prepaid phone models, it is always crucial to find out the different features of each. This is because you need to make sure that the unit you pick would actually serves the purpose that you have in mind. Whether you prefer to step-up your savings or to speed up your business, you need to make sure that your prepaid phone unit actually performs. This is the reason why phone companies offer so many alternatives.

There are actually two primary choices when you are deciding a prepaid phone model: decked out or basic. Basic units contain all of the essential functions: calling, SMS and sometimes, e-mail. These units are better if you are searching a no-nonsense phone which you can use for business. Still, if you are searching something that more or less fits your overall social lifestyle, then you can find this too.

Picking a prepaid phone model is also about looking for the model which will allow you to get the best type of communication with people around you. This refers to compatibility of technology. If, for example, you find out that most of your contacts have camera or MMS-enabled phones, you may have to get something along the equivalent line. This is because most people would like to utilize common technology to send their messages more efficaciously.

Picking a prepaid phone model is really quite easy, once you know what you are looking for. The trouble is that you frequently have to think very hard about this question before you can answer it. In order to find out which prepaid phone model you want, you have first got to have even just the faintest idea concerning what your purpose is in buying such a product. Whether you are driven by want or by need, planning ahead always helps.

The new Apple iPhone is a great invention that is bringing together the world of mp3s and cellular phones, like no other company has yet been able to do. Many phones now allow you to browse the Internet, check e-mail, use your phone and listen to music, but none have quite the memory or ease of use as the iPhone. That being said there are some aspects of the iPhone that might turn potential users off to purchasing it.

To cover a few of these restrictions, let’s start with what the phone cannot do. First of all, you have to have a full 2 year data and voice contract with AT&T to even activate your iPhone, otherwise you can only use it as a music player. This alone could cost you around $1000 a year. You will also have to consider if you already have a contract with another company, and whether there is reliable AT&T service in your area. Next you will not experience the best call quality as you would with other companies who have had years to perfect their cellular reception. Another restriction is that the SIM card that you get can only be used between iPhones and if your battery runs dead, expected to be about 3 years, you have to send the phone in to get a new battery (as there are not replacement batteries available). Between the battery and shipping you are looking at close to $90.

For those who really like to personalize their electronics, you might be surprised that you are not able to use mp3s as ringtones. This could turn off a large portion of buyers, especially teens who like to change their ringtones often. Those purchasing for ease of use of browsing might find that the Internet is a bit slow on the AT&T network. But there is more to see with this phone’s browser than most others available at the moment, as it has a 3.5 inch window and the display has more pixels than any other music player Apple offers. When it comes to pictures from the iPhone they do have a 2 megapixel camera to use, however at this point you can not send pictures from your iPhone to another phone, except through e-mail. The iPhones are also not compatible with the Windows Active Sync function, which means more software for your computer. That all being said the iPhone does deliver on a lot of its promises.

The camera offers beautiful pictures, with great color, and the menu for the camera is very easy to use. Also with the iPhone you do not need a stylus, which can often be difficult to use effectively for people with big hands, arthritis or shaky hands. The touchscreen lets you easily choose what you need to do. There is a virtual QWERTY keyboard on the iPhone as well, that makes it possible to send text messages and type in the name to websites, it is a bit difficult to use with both hands, so you might find yourself slowing down to type a message.

The wireless Internet that is included with the iPhone works very well with a home or hotspot network, it is just the EDGE network that could use a little more speed, but this is mostly for just being out and about where there is not already a network. All in all, the iPhone does a pretty good job as a phone, and holds the spotlight for the best iod so far with great audio, and usability. The iPhone is no doubt the new must have electronic this year, and is sure to be a hit for this coming holiday season. It is just up to you to decide if it is worth the money to invest into one, and make sure it does what you need before purchase.
