Reflecting About Old Mobiles

How many people out there are still using mobile phones prior to the release of the first camera phone? Probably not that much but still I see people talking and sending SMS through their dilapidated Nokia 3310's. At any given day, I still see people walking around with their old mobile phones. The Nokia brand would top the list with either Siemens or Samsung closing in on the second spot. Anyway, heart of the matter is a LOT (that is, a quite considerable number) of people still prefers using the good ole phones rather than the new breed of mobiles. At Tracfone, they do have a lot of old Nokia mobile phones in their yard.

You might say it’s the essence of the old mobile phones that justify this occurrence. It is function, first and foremost, you might add. But whether you admit it or not, you do want your phone to look good. Fortunately, for Nokia users, you can add some personal flavor to the looks with the available Nokia accessories that are ubiquitous in almost any part of the globe. Cell phone cases with customized details and cool designs sell like hot pancakes. Trouble with battery life? Charge up with new set of chargers and new set of cell phone batteries.

True, you non-camera phone cannot take pictures. But then again, it is function, first and foremost, that prompted you to buy the phone in the first place.

Sprint Mobile Email Does Exchange, Domino

Sprint Mobile Email Work will enable users of consumer-friendly non-PDA phones - like Sprint's touted Instinct - to tap into Exchange and Domino email.

Mobile operator Sprint, struggling to hang on to subscribers as it invests in rolling out its much-touted WiMax mobile broadband network, has announced Sprint Mobile Email Work, an extension of its existing mobile email service that will enable users of consumer-oriented non-PDA phones—like the iPhone-competing Instinct—to tap into corporate email systems as well as end-user email accounts like Gmail, Windows Live, and Yahoo Mail.

Sprint plans to include Sprint Mobile Email Work at no extra charge in its Everything plans, which start at $69.99 a month. Mobile Email Work will enable users to tap into email accounts hosted on Exchange 2000, 2003, and 2007 systems, as wel as Lotus Domino accounts. Email messages get pushed to the user's phone as soon as they arrive in a user's desktop mailbox; user can read, reply to, delete, and create new messages using their enterprise-based accounts, and all changes are synchronized back to the server.

Sprint Mobile Email Work will initially be available on the Samsung Instinct (where it'll ship pre-loaded); Sprint will also offer the software for the LG Rumor and Fusic phones; Motorola's RAZR, RAZR2, and KRZR; the Samsung M500, A900, and A900M, and the Sanyo 8400, Katana, and Katana II in the coming weeks in the form of a software update. Sprint eventually plans to roll Sprint Mobile Email Work out to additional handsets.
