Ass Kickin' Asus V66

So far we have not talked about any Asus mobile phone, so for the sake of changing views, I am going to rant and rave about the Asus V66.
First and foremost, the V66 is one of the coolest mobile phone I have ever used. The design is not that flashy but not that timid as well. The Asus V66 has, for lack of better terms, the right blend. Although cell phone cases for this mobile phone are rare, I am very much satisfied with its stock casing, which has some corporate "I am important" look in it. The keys are soft to the touch too. Unlike some mobile phones where you have to push real hard to make their keys work, the Asus V66 is quite the opposite. There are a lot things that are so good about the Asus V66 that I might run out of space if I enumerate all them in one single post. So on with the bad stuff.
Like I mentioned earlier, the mobile phone accessories for the Asus V66, particularly cell phone cases and cell phone batteries, are not that easy to find, unlike Nokia accessories and Motorola cell phone accessories. Now I can live without those cases but the batteries are very important, for obvious reasons.
Anyway, I never got the chance to use my Asus V66 for a long time because someone stole it. I hope whoever has it is having battery problems right now. HAHAHAHA!

Tribute to Bosch

Have you ever used Bosh mobile phones? They were kinda one of the hottest mobile phone eight or nine years ago. See, unlike famous names like Nokia and Motorola, the Bosch line of mobile phones was not that popular. This seems contradictory to what I said earlier; that Bosch was quite a pancake back in the days.
To make it clearer, during those days the Nokia 3210 and the Motorola Timeport series lorded the mobile phone scene, along with Nokia accessories and Motorola cell phone accessories as well. If you own a mobile phone bearing a different name apart from the two mentioned earlier, you were automatically famous. Of course, the fame will stay depending on the performance on your phone. Bosch mobile phones, particularly model COM 509, stayed long enough to make a dent on our memory banks.
Generally, the Bosch brand is famous for power tools. But with the COM 509, Bosch had practically made itself an underdog in the mobile phone business. With its excellent performance and remarkable battery life, COM 509 was an instant favorite.
But ultimately, Bosch could not come up with a follow up. Like in the movies where the sequels sucks more than the first one, the same thing happened to Bosch.
Today, we see not just Nokia and Motorola. There are a lot of others who are either blazing or clawing their way to the peak of mobile communications. Samsung cell phones and Samsung cell phone accessories. LG cell phones and LG cell phone accessories. Question is: Would there be another Bosch in the making?

Motorola i335 for Sprint

Actually, the Motorola i335 is exclusively distributed by Nextel, which we all know is no long connectd with Sprint. Anyway, the Motorola i335 from Nextel costs about $29.99. It might be a good deal when it comes to performance.
See, the Motorola i335 does not disappoint when it comes to sound quality over conversations, signal reception, quick Internet recognition, or battery life. Whether it's the mobile phone or the carrier is responsible for that, who cares, right? As long as you are extremely satisfied in those departments, you are good.
The looks are pretty much lacking in aesthetic value. But with the right cell phone cases, you can probably make a Cinderella out of this mobile phone.
As for mobile enhancements, I'm not sure as to where you can get high-end goods. You might be better off if you get those Nextel phone cases and the other stuff from Sprint accessories. Or better yet, get those authentic Motorola cell phone accessories for compatibility assurance.

Why Do I Hate Clamshells

Why do I hate clamshells? Let me count the ways:

  1. They look ridiculous.
  2. I don't like flipping phones.
  3. I can't easily change the cell phone covers.
  4. Same with cell phone cases.
  5. So with the other look enhancements.
  6. Most don't have external display.
  7. Most of them don't have internal cell phone antennas.
  8. I don't want to open the phone to access menus.
  9. Personally, I like candy bars.
  10. They have this 'classic' aura around them.
  11. Clamshells don't have thatkind of aura.
  12. I think clamshells are more susceptible to damage than candy bars.
  13. Slim clamshells, especially RAZR's, are prone to shock damage.
  14. My finger was bitten by a clamshell before.
  15. That hurt.
  16. It scarred me.
  17. I eat clamshells to take revenge.
  18. I can't eat mobile clamshells.
  19. I never used one in my life.
  20. They look ridiculous.

WND Wind DUO 2200

For people who need to have two handsets at the same time, and for those who need twice the attention, the WND Wind DUO 2200 could fill in the void.

The WND Wind DUO 2200 is practically two mobile handsets fused into one single device. Can't get a mental image? Picture this: it's like two mobile phones of the same model glued together at the back. Can't get more vivid than that. That means two screens, two keypads, and two phones. But it's just one mobile phone actually. Confusing? Not so.

Like mentioned above. it's pretty much a mobile phone that can accommodate two SIM cards. A lightweight phone at that, the WND Wind DUO 2200 allows you to use two different mobile numbers at the same time! With cool features such as Bluetooth, 2.0 megapixel camera on each faces (two cameras!), speakerphone, mp3 player, mpeg video player, and JAVA games, definitely an excellent phone.

The only downside would be the mobile phone accessories such cell phone cases , cell phone covers and the works. This is still a brand new phone by any standards so customizing this mobile phone would have to wait as cases and face plates may still not be available. The price is reasonable so there's no complaint about that. All things aside, the WND Wind DUO 2200 is really an excellent phone (I have to say that twice for emphasis).
