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.

Mobile Phones: Effective Bee Repellant

For the longest time, scientists and health experts have stressed the dangers mobile phones pose to humans. Constant exposure to the electro-magnetic waves emitted by cell phones has gradual and adverse effects on the human body. But bodies of evidence to prove such claim are still lacking.
But whether or not this is true is really beyond the ken of ordinary people. Besides, we have mobile phone accessories to protect us from such dangers. Anyway, another occurrence has baffled commercial bee farmers as of late. Honey production has decreased significantly due to honey bees not returning to their hives. Insect experts suspected that EMP's from cell phones interfere with the bees' navigation systems. There are still no reliable evidence to prove this theory but scientist believe that EMP causing bees to lose their way is quite possible.

The First Mobile

Ever wonder what the first mobile phone looked like? For us who have been using the latest mobile phones and the latest gizmos and cell phone accessories, we automatically revert to Nokia 5110 or the Motorola Talkabout as the first cell phones. But going down the memory lane, the said scenario is not the case like many of us thought it was.
There were a lot of mobile phone models that claimed for the bragging rights to be called the first. After a few jostling and hustling about, the first ever mobile phone (handeheld, that is) to beome commercially available in the United States was the Motorola DynaTAC 800X.
As technology fastened its pace and the like of Nokia, Samsung and LG produced their own line of mobile phones and Nokia has its Nokia accessories and Samsung has its Samsung cell phone accessories; carriers like Srpint and Nextel emerged and Sprint accessories are now out on the market and Nextel has its line of Nextel phone cases, theirs was a far cry from the DynaTAC.
The DynaTAC is way, flat out, humongous and bulky by today's standards. But it was quite a sensation back then. There were no Motorola cell phone accessories to beef up the DynaTAC but it sure was beefy.

TOP 3 PDA's of ALL TIME

For those who are into PDA phones, read on. Here are the 3 best PDA's of all time.

1. Palm Treo 700P
The Treo 700P is the first PDA that utilized Palm-OS. Also, it the first Treo model that supported Bluetooth 1.2. It has a 1.3 mega pixel camera with decen photo quality. Voice quality is great as well. In comparison with the latest PDA's, the Palm Treo 700P has fallen behind in every aspect. But why is it #1? Nothing beats the classic. Also, there's nothing the right set of mobile phone accessories can't fix.

2. Motorola Q
When the RAZR was released back in 2005, the trend where thin is in ensued. That's when the Motorola Q came in. Sprint was its first distributor and the company raked in a lot of profits coming for both the Motorola Q and compatible Sprint accessories. The Motorola Q was highly favored over a much popular BlackBerry.

3. UTstarcom PPC-6700
If you were expecting for a BlackBerry, sorry to disappoint. Although BlackBerry PDA phones and the BlackBerry accessories are pretty much popular, the UTstarcom PPC-6700 beats them by an inch. Don't ask me how. To be honest, I just hate BlackBerry.

The Most Expensive Mobile Phone

For one million US Dollars, one can get to own the most expensive mobile phone ever. Goldvish, the maker of the "Le Million" mobile phone, ended Vertu's dominance and monopoly over the luxury phones market. The "Le Million" is, as stated above, worth US$1,000,000. The said mobile phone edged Vertu's Signature Cobra, which costs at US$310,000. Apparently, the "Le Million" is not for sale. But it sure did made a lot of splashes in the mobile communications community.
Cell phone cases should not cost mush but for the "Le Million", the housing alone is worth more than two decent cars. Studded with 180 high-grade diamonds, it is the epitome of luxury phones. But with all the gems and gold-plates, the "Le Million" is no better than the average mobile phone if you talk about performance. Unless you are one aesthetically inclined person, or just the average nut-head, the "Le Million" is definitely not a good buy. But did I mention this mobile phone is not for sale? If it is, then they have to make some cell phone accessories made of gold and gemstones.

But then, hey can't sell any if it is really for sale. That's a given.
