Bmobile's Promotion Advertisement For The Samsung Galaxy S II

          The big talking point about bmobile's pricing for the Samsung Galaxy S II will be the very small difference between the pre-paid price and the post-paid price of the Samsung Galaxy S II handset which is only a three hundred dollars ($300) difference. Other than that, I personnally think the Samsung Galaxy S II handset is reasonably and fairly priced, seeing that it has not too long been released into the Trinidad and Tobago market and by extension the worldwide market!!
          The main and most exquisit features to look out for in the Samsung Galaxy S II handset are  a 480 x 800 pixels 4.3 inches Super AMOLED Plus capacitive touchscreen, 1 GB RAM, 8 MP, 3264x2448 pixels front facing camera with LED flash and a 2.0 MP front facing camera, Adobe Flash 10.1 support,

The Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 Specs, The Latest GSM Smartphone Member To The Blackberry "Bold" Family!!

        The blackberry Bold Touch 9900, is Rim's latest smartphone and will run on their latest Operating System, Blackberry OS 7.0, and will be available in September of this year. The blackberry Bold Touch 9900 and 9930 has basically the same specs, with the only difference being that the 9930 can work on both 3G Network Carriers and 2G Network Carriers, instead of just the normal 2G GSM netwok carrier which the Bold Touch 9900 can only work on!! I doubt this may cause a significant difference in prices with the two models!!
          The blackberry Bold Touch 9900 is basically an upgrade to the Bold 9000, and boasts of way more features than the Bold 9000 but is quite similar in look to the Bold 9000. The Bold 9900 comes with a full QWERTY keyboard that is 6% larger than the QWERTY keyboard on the Bold 9000 and has a larger 2.8 inches 640 x 480 pixels "Liquid Graphics"  TFT capacitive touchscreen compared to the Bold 9000 2.6 inches screen, which still makes them both quite similar in look.

        Yes, I know they both look quite similar!!

           The Blackberry Bold Touch 9900 is Rim's thinnest blackberry handset yet, measuring just 10.5 mm which is a little more than a centimeter and has a full stainless steel band around the handset for a sheik and sturdy look and feel!! Although it's the thinnest blackberry handset from Rim, it boasts of some stunning features which makes the Blackberry Torch 9800 look mediocre, sorry to say, I hope no torch owners are offended, I guess you guys will have to upgrade!! But bear in mind that the Blackberry Torch 9800 has it's advantages over the Bold Touch 9900 also!!

        If you have always been a big fan of Nokia phones all your life, then you are definitely going to be blown away by Nokia's latest smartphone the Nokia N9, that is said to be available soon.  Nokia well and truly needed to produce a masterpiece of a smartphone to try and keep it's share in the smartphone market, not because of any glitches or defects with their smartphones or anything like that, but because of the release of the Android OS and continuous growth and popularity of the iOS Operating System From Apple!!
         The Nokia N9 is truly a revolutionary phone in that it's the world’s first pure touch screen phone without any front-facing buttons at all, and  you simply double-tap the screen to unlock the phone. Since there are no front-facing buttons, the phone relies on SWIPE to navigate from screens on the phone, for example whenever you are in an application, you just swipe from the edge of the screen to go back home. The phone will be running on a 1GHz Cortex A8 CPU, PowerVR SGX530 GPU, TI OMAP 3630 chipset Processor on MeeGo OS, v1.2 Harmattan.
           The Nokia N9 comes with three home screens, which is designed around the things people typically use the most.

Facebook Application Now Available For Most Java Enabled Non- Smart Phones!!

        For those who don't have the latest smartphones, or just who love their ordinary phones non-smart phones, then there is good news for you guys!! I say good news, assuming that you are facebook addicts or freaks, sorry to put it so or just enjoy the experiences of the well known social network.

The app should work on just about any platform that once it meets the criteria of it being java enable and well an internet connection!!

         Facebook said that the app provides a better experience for its most popular features, these includes an easier-to-navigate home screen, contact synchronization, and fast scrolling of photos and friend updates.

Facebook For Java Enabled Phones Screenshot!!

Facebook On A Java Enabled Phone!!

         And don't worry, facebook has considered the network charges by optimizing their new application to use less data, so your cell phone charges don't go through the roof. But the one thing that may hinder the success of the app is if people are willing to pay for the network charges on their mobile phone, on a regular basis or just prefer to use 0.facebook.com site, which is free but the only downfall is photos cannot be viewed!! This app can be downloaded from  m.facebook.com or you can also get it from app stores, including GetJar, Appia, and Mobile Weaver.
           For those who have the app, and currently uses it, please tell us what you think about it!!! Is it any good, how much data does it use on average etc.!!

Acer Iconia Smart Android OS Smartphone Specs And Review, Will It Be A Smart Choice??

         Acer is well known for it's laptops and desktop computers around the world, but it seems they are trying to gain market share into the smartphone and tablet pc market of  late. The Acer Iconia Smart is Acer's latest smartphone and was released in April 2011 into the market. Much has not been said about this smartphone from Acer since it was released, maybe due to the fact of all the rave and excitement of the four Acer Iconia Tablet PCs that were also released under the same marketing name  "ICONIA" in April 2011 also. See the following link http://mytechsngadgets.blogspot.com/2011/06/acer-iconia-tab-a501-a101-specs-and.html .
          The Acer Iconia Smart runs on a 1GHz Scorpion processor, Qualcomm MSM8255-1 Snapdragon with  Android OS 2.3 (Gingerbread). The Acer Iconia Smart  is uniquely  shaped with a huge 4.8 inches , 480 x 1024 pixels capacitive touchscreen with a 21:9 aspect ratio and has Adobe Flash Player 10.1 which when  all combined together will allow for crisp and clear web browsing experience, stunning videos and photos!!
           The Acer Iconia Samrt also boasts of stunning features such as 8 GB internal storage, a micro SD card slot compatible with up to 32GBs, 512 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM for fast and smooth multitasking, but it's a bit too little for my liking and may cause the phone to lag when plenty apps are installed, a 8 MP 3264x2448 pixels, camera with  autofocus and LED flash and video recording at mailto:720p@30fps, a secondary or front facing 2MP camera and a mini HDMI port to connect your smartphone to HDMI compatible devices for example a HD television, Wi-Fi, Dolby surround sound technology for impressive sound experience and much more!!!

Some benefits maybe better network coverage, better deals from certain networks, probably free Internet from some networks and the list goes on and on.
       Well if you are like me, and is kind of skeptical of carrying your phone to unlock at a phone place, and maybe paying  high prices and afraid that your phone mal-functions in a few days later, then you should try this method, which can be done in the comfort of your home in about five minutes time.
        It's very simple to unlock your blackberry smartphone by using the IMEI No. which comes with all phones when they are manufactured!  IMEI stands for International Mobile Equipment Identity and is usually found printed inside the battery compartment of the phone or can also be found by entering *#06# on a blank screen of your mobile phone. Once you have found your device IMEI No. just visit either of these two sites too unlock your blackberry phone, at a maximum cost of $15 US dollars for the first site and $20 at the second which can also be used to unlock other mobile brands such as Nokia, Motorola etc. The two site are
http://blackberrymep.com/index.html   and   http://www.unlock2go.com/   respectively!! Please note that there are many other sites out there that does this same thing, you don't have to use these two if you don't want to, I just used them for reference and well I fine $15 US dollars isn't that bad, tell me what you think.
          When at either of the two sites, you will be asked to enter your phone IMEI No. and your e-mail address to receive the unlock code for your device!! Please ensure that you enter the correct IMEI No. for your phone, and please note that the code given will only work on your phone and no other phones!! When you receive the e-mail you will get instructions on how to go about unlocking the phone. It's quite simple and basically all you have to do is enter another Network Carrier Sim Card, then you will see the option to "unlock code" and you just enter the unlock code and your done!! Check out the video below which explains it easily, and shows you how to unlock a blackberry torch 9800 with the IMEI No.

            If you guys out there have tried alternative methods and were successful please share it to everyone by leaving your comments below and also if you were successful with this method. Also please leave any web sites URL, which offer the IMEI service at a lower price!!

      Sony Ericsson phones are commonly known for their high resolution cameras for taking stunning photos and recording of crisp and clear videos, and it's music player for it's phones which boasts of clean and audible sound for long periods of time on a fully charged battery.

       Back to the present now, and every thing has changed, smartphones are the new 'phones' that are considered to be the new 'must have phones,' as compared to not so long ago about late 2009, where these feature were almost non-existent and everyone never considered purchasing a phone with smartphone features that are now ever so prevalent such as large memory capacity, high resolution cameras, improved OS, 1GHz plus CPUs, high resolution capacitive touch screens with large number of pixels and the list just goes on and on. To date, Sony Ericsson are still one of the biggest competitors in the phone market, although it's becoming tougher and tougher with improvements and new innovations needed daily to stay in the market.
        It seems Sony Ericsson has done just this, to hold a spot within the 'smartphone' market by releasing some new smartphones to it's 'XPERIA' line of Android OS smartphones, quite similar to what Samsung did by releasing it's line of Galaxy S smartphones which are currently available in Trinidad!! So without further keep back, the three of the Sony Ericsson 'XPERIA' line oif smartphones to be looked at in this post are the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, Sony Ericsson Xperia

The Archos 70 250 GB Internet Tablet has attractive features such as a 250GB Hard Drive, Micro SD card slot for expandable memory up to 8GBs,High resolution screen, WVGA 800 x 480 pixels, 7'' TFT LCD, 16 million colors Capacitive multitouch screen, Android 2.2 (froyo) OS,  ARM Cortex A8 at 1 GHz with DSP Processor,  Graphic accelerator: 3D OpenGL ES 2.0, Pre-installed applications as follows; Aldiko, Ebuddy, Wikipedia, Avecomics, HubKap, Deezer, Mewbox, Raging Thunderlite (a 3D car demo game), WordNewspaper, Touiteur, Fring, HDMI output via Mini HDMI which requires HDMI cable which is sold separately and much more stunning features!! Detailed specs are listed below!! 

The good: The Archos 70 Android tablet includes a capable 1GHz processor, capacitive 7-inch touch screen, front-facing camera, Bluetooth, HDMI output capability, and up to 250GB of storage.

The bad: The tablet is generally sluggish, build quality feels cheap, viewing angles are crummy, and the app store is thinly stocked.

          The last Archos Andoid OS Tablet PC to be at in this post that is relatively cheaply priced is the Archos 101 16GB and 8GB Internet Tablet PCs, which is priced at $299.99 US dollars and $255.00 US dollars respectively  at amazon at the following links   http://www.amazon.com/ARCHOS-101-Internet-Tablet-16GB/dp/B00422TXZA/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1309889606&sr=1-6  (16GB)

The bottom line with the Archos Archos 101 16GB and 8GB Internet is that the Tablet PCs tablet's price is right and the screen is ample, but the experience is outdated and performance is sluggish. Some of the best features of this device are that it has a High resolution capacitive multitouch screen, 1024x600 pixels (WXVGA), 10.1'' TFT LCD screen, Android 2.2 (froyo) OS, Graphic accelerator: 3D OpenGL ES 2.0, Pre-Installed apps as follows;  Aldiko, Ebuddy, Wikipedia, Avecomics, HubKap, Deezer, Mewbox, Raging Thunderlite (a 3D car demo game), WordNewspaper, Touiteur, Fring,  HDMI output via Mini HDMI of which a HDMI cable sold separately, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi and much more!!

The good: The Archos 101 is one of few Android 2.2 tablets with a large 10.1-inch screen. Extras such as a front-facing camera, Mini-HDMI output, USB host and sync ports, and microSD memory expansion are impressive considering the tablet's low price.

The bad: Charging requires wall adapter, screen quality and responsiveness are mediocre; onscreen keyboard is awkward; not fully compatible with Adobe Flash; lacks support for Android Market and Google Mobile apps, such as Maps, Navigation, Contacts, and Calendar.
