BlackBerry 8100 Pearl Review

The Blackberry 8100 Pearl offered by CellularOne is essentially the same as all of Pearls in the market place. The Blackberry Pearl in itself, is a phone that has been designed for those of us who want more "looks" and features for our Blackberries. The Pearl includes a nice camera, which is a first for blackberries, a removable MicroSd memory card slot, bluetooth technology, and a built in music player. One of the most notable changes would be the replacement of the Track Wheel with a Pearl like track ball located in the center of the phone. While this may hard for current Blackberry users to get used to, rest assured that navigation throughout the phone is not compromised with the addition of the track ball and it's actually a nice little addition.

The Blackberry Pearl is a GSM based phone, so do expect it to be released for various other GSM carriers such as T-Mobile, At&t , and Suncom and also expect the 8100 Pearl to have a large selection of accessories readily available at AccessoryGeeks.com.

Behold! the bat phone; the Dark Knight-inspired Nokia 6205

Do you remember the Iron Man phone, or perhaps the ultra-cool Star Wars phone that was released much earlier? Well, here comes another one of them - the Nokia 6205 which lives and breathe everything about Batman, the Dark Knight. We’re referring of course to the second film in the new Batman revival series which is slated for release on July 18. The Nokia 6205 bat phone will be available as early as Sunday exclusively on Verizon’s online store.

Just like the superhero icon that the 6205 is promoting who doesn’t have that many superpowers, this phone doesn’t promise any usual features either. Except of course the special promotional stuff such as Dark Knight inspired emblem, wallpapers, voices tones, animated screensavers and of course a full movie trailer.

Feature-wise, the 6205 boasts of a 1.3-megapixel camera with flash and 4x digital zoom, 58MB of internal memory that can be expanded up to an additional 4GB via a microSD memory card, support for Verizon’s Get It Now features for downloading games, ringtones, wallpapers and other mobile content, compatibility with VZ Navigator, mobile web access for latest news, sports, weather and more, voice dialing and voice commands, Bluetooth and built-in speakerphone.

The 6205 bat phone will be available for $69.99 and will come with a new two-year service agreement. If you’re a big Dark Knight fanboy, you would definitely not want to pass up on this one. But if you’re just a casual mobile phone user, you’d be better off keeping your $69.99 and walk away not obliged to enter into another two-year service agreement with Verizon just to get this piece of toy.

The LG Shine for AT&T

AT&T never disappoints. With their huge assortment of impressive and high quality mobile phones and mobile phone accessories, you might get dazed and perplexed as to which mobile suits you and your way of life. And if that happens to you, then allow me to make a suggestion: the LG Shine.
The LG KE970, otherwise known as the LG Shine, is one of LG's best mobile phones yet. Parading a nicely designed outer shell, there is absolutely no need to get those customized cell phone cases and cell phone covers. The stock housing in silver finish is already cool. The features are the LG Shine's crowd teaser and pleaser at the same time. LG Shine's basic and advanced functions are easy to use and perform exceptionally well. Paired off with the compatible mix of LG cell phone accessories, the results are really awesome.
But all that said, prepare to cash in as mush as $250. The LG Shine, unfortunately, does not come cheap.

Sony Ericsson Walkman W580i in Pink

If the pink fever in you has not subsided yet, the perhaps now is the best time to get pinkier. AT&T now markets the pink edition of the Sony Ericsson Walkman W580i. This sliding music phone is deemed by critics and consumers alike as one of the best music phones ever released into the market. And now, the Sony Ericsson Walkman W580i just got a bit cuter with pink cell phone cases as their marketing stunt.
I am not really into pink and personally, I never like the color. Probably a gutsy move from Sony Ericsson, but share reports say that they are doing well with the sales. After all, beneath the pink case are the features most users would like to have these days. The Sony Ericsson Walkman W580i has a 2 mega pixel camera, an MP3 player, a great display screen, and a lot more.
Cell phone accessories for the Sony Ericsson Walkman W580i are widely distributed so you could easily take out the pinkiness if ever you grow tired of it.

Samsung A737 for AT&T

Samsung has really started the trend in ultra thin slider phones lately. Samsung have launch a very impressive line-up of slide phones, but still managed to unleash some so-so mobiles. Samsung A737 definitely not on the so-so list.
The Samsung A737 is more than a slide phone. The design is very much striking. Though it has copied heavily from its predecessors, the A737 still have some edge of its own when it comes to the image projection. The exterior details are crafted with some classic flavor. The feel of the phone when it rests in your palm is not the cheap, plastic feeling you get from most cell phone cases and cell phone covers. Aside from the full range features the Samsung A737 offers, the easy-to-use navigational controls are definitely plus factors. The bad thing about this phone is its poor photo quality, no flash, and a lagging 3G connection.
Overall, the Samsung A737 would have been a good phone if it weren't for some flaws, but who doesn't have them? Anyway, there's nothing a good set of cell phone accessories couldn't fix. Improve the phone's looks and performance with original Samsung cell phone accessories. It is worth it.

BlackJack for AT&T

As far as I am concerned, Samsung has been both impressive and appalling with the barrage of mobile phones they have launched and will be launching. There are some excellent mobiles while there are some boo-boo's as well. The release of BlackJack for AT&T, however, is a very surprising move for the part of Samsung. The BlackJack is Samsung's attempt to penetrate the PDA and smart phone markets dominated by BlackBerry and HTC.
The good thing about BlackJack is that it can take the blows while going at it. Its features prove to be useful without the hassles some PDA's are known to give. As a mobile phone, BlackJack proves to be a contender for the top spot, but no means the underdog. In comparison with the Motorola Q (a fully personalized and amplified Q with Motorola cell phone accessories at that), the BlackJack blows the Q, hands down. Same thing goes for BlackBerry and HTC.
Fully customized with Samsung cell phone accessories, the BlackJack is no ordinary mobile phone. The 3G is its bread and butter. Fast connection and recognition without the lags, BlackJack's 3G capability is something worth noting. Signal strength is excellent. Cell phone antenna boosters are not necessary for the BlackJack. That also goes for the cell phone batteries as talk time lasted really long than the average battery life of a modern mobile phone.
