BlackBerry 8700

The BlackBerry 8700 has been available for Cellular One for some time now and I've never had a chance to write up a quick review of the phone so here it goes. The 8700 is similar to almost all Blackberry's in layout and function but differs in the overall look and feel. The BlackBerry 8700 is very sleek and has a great visual appearance with a very similar user interface. The 8700 comes featured with bluetooth compatibilities which is something of an industry standard these days.

The phone itself is great and works extremly well as a Blackerry. I had no real complaints on any of the functions or features, the phone was never marketed like the Pearl so I didn't expect Pearl features. I would recommend this phone for the business oriented individual who does prefers phones that don't utilize the problematic window OS system.

Kyocera Cyclops for Virgin Mobile

The Kyocera Cyclops is no monster incarnate from the adventure of Ulysses. On the contrary, it boasts of a very user-friendly interface. Aside from that, the Kyocera Cyclops is loaded with other functions that are pretty much useful to the ordinary folk.

Being Virgin Mobile's first camera phone, the Kyocera Cyclops needed to qualm a lot of pressure from mobile phone critics and from the consumers as well. The photo quality is pretty much decent, you can say something bad about it, nor does it deserves accolades. 'Just right' would be the better term. Apart from the picture grade, the Kyocera Cyclops performance as a mobile phone is great, if not astounding. The design is nice from afar and up close and personal. Probably the reason why many users of this phone opt not to replace it some customized cell phone cases and cell phone covers. Another good thing is its bright display. 65k may be small but it is still readable. Voice quality on the phone is good. Signal reception is notable as well as the battery life. No need to buy some spares for cell phone batteries and cell phone antenna.
The bad thing about the Cyclops would be the poor voice quality of its speakerphone. Other than that, one can live with the Kyocera Cyclops, even without any fancy cell phone accessories.

Missing My L6

I used to own a Motorola L6 from Cellular One once and I just have to say I had both good and bad times with this mobile phone. I just like the fact that it's not A RAZR, though there are similarities in their interface construction. Also, my L6 was given to me as a present, so there is what we call a 'sentimental value' attached to it. But sad to say, I had to part with my Motorola L6 when I need to upgrade to an advanced mobile phone.
I really had a hard time packing up all those Motorola cell phone accessories I have purchased throughout my time with my L6. I had customized cell phone cases of different designs and a couple of cell phone batteries I bought when my L6 accidentally fell to the floor. I did have my share of signal nightmares where I have to get to the roof in order for me to catch some reception.
Sure, I miss my L6. But life has got to go on, right?

3220 for Cellular One

The Nokia 3220 is certainly one of the attractive mobile phones and one of the affordable phones as well. Along with the low-end price are features that are quite impressive for a small unit but useful at the same time. The outer casing of the 3220 sports a funky, sporty theme. Definitely not the kind of phone business executives would want to carry around. But it appeals to the young people of the market.
With an assortment of customized cell phone cases, cell phone covers, and other Nokia accessories, the 3220 is pretty much a fashionable mobile phone. But though the 3220 seems to be a youngster's mobile phone of choice, the features are also worth noting. The display is pretty much impressive. The picture quality is acceptable. Voice quality for phone calls is decent. Phone conversations with the 3220 are not that bad.
As for flaws, I am pretty sure there some but who cares? For $99.99, this mobile phone is the bomb!

Motorola ROKR E1 for Cellular One

The Motorola ROKR E1 is the first non-Apple mobile phone that utilizes the iTunes music applications. As far as music is concerned, the Apple iPod has been very remarkably consistent on being the best portable music player. The fusion between Motorola and Apple to produce a very notable music phone is most likely a take on Sony Ericsson and Walkman's domination on that category.

But whether Motorola and Apple succeed or not, the Motorola ROKR E1 surely rocks! With built-in memory that can hold up to 100 songs, a very crisp voice quality on the headset and stereo speakers, and other features that, well, rock. Clad this mobile phone with Motorola cell phone accessories like cell phone cases, cell phone covers, etc. and you are good to go.
Cell phone batteries go a long way wit this mobile phone. Average talk time can go as far as 4 hours and 20 minutes. Stand by time can last for 230 hours.

Sony Ericcson Z310 for Cellular1

For as low as $24.99, you can now have the Sony Ericsson Z310 by way of CellularOne. The Sony Ericsson Z310 was not designed for upper echelons of the consumer strata, but it sure does work like a high end mobile phone.

The Sony Ericsson is one of those mobile phones that use VGA cameras. In addition to that, the Sony Ericsson Z310 takes high quality photo for a VGA camera. Apart from that, the Z310 also has a wide solid range of features that would put other mobile phones within its price range to shame. The design is also something worth noting. For a clamshell, the Sony Ericsson is a beauty. No need to get those customized cell phone covers and other cell phone accessories for the looks overhaul. Although the plastic feel makes the Z310 seem cheap, the overall performance compensates entirely for that. And speaking of performance, the talk time max for this phone is a whooping 7 hours. No need to get spare cell phone batteries.

Is there a mobile phone out there that can top that?

HTC 4300

CelluarOne's HTC 4300 is a great addition to their current lineup. The HTC smartphone that utilizes a full Qwerty keyboard and is also based off of the popular Windows Mobile 5 OS. The HTC 4300 is very similar to the MDA, in fact I think they're based off of the same platform, but none the less the HTC 4300 is quite the looker. For a phone that houses such features such as web browsing, picture messaging, memory card expansion slot, wifi, bluetooth, and a video recorder you would expect to be lugging around a computer. That's not the case with the HTC 4300 since it is complied nicely into a sleek and subtle phone. The HTC 4300 is currently available for about $479 from Cellular one of San Luis Obispo and for what you get with the phone, I would recommend this unit to any smart phone fanatic that uses CellularOne.
