Verizon Launches Nokia 7205 Intrigue

Alex Ion — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 16:00:17 +0000

In what is great news for Verizon users who are looking for a new deal and those who are willing to sign on a two-year contract with the network, they have just launched the new Nokia 7205 Intrigue clamshell phone. Although we’re not really fond of the price, for those keen to sign on the dotted line you can pocket the 7205 at $130.

But why would you do it? Working on CDMA 1X/EV–DO, Rev. A networks, Nokia 7205 sports a 2.2-inch QVGA 240×320 main display, a 1.9-inch PMOLED external display, a 2 Megapixel camera with flash, Bluetooth and dedicated music keys for those who are hung up on tunes. And there’s also a microSD card slot and a 2.5mm headset jack.

With an option that allows it to support Verizon’s V CAST Videos, V CAST Music, and VZ Navigator GPS services, the Intrigue is a wonderful option for all those who wish to move around in sizzling style. No? [via verizonwireless]

BlackBery 8900 Curve on T-Mobile, Starting Feb 11

Alex Ion — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 00:05:42 +0000

We so love it when hot rumors turn out to be true. This time it’s about T-Mobile who’s going to get the BlackBerry 8900 Curve on their network starting with February 11. It’s a great solution if you don’t like BB Bold or Thunder, because that’s the slimmest, smallest and lightest full-QWERTY BlackBerry available on the market by now.

Running on a faster processor (512Mhz) the scrumptious 8900 packs a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto-focus and video, has a built-in GPS function, a sleek display with better resolution, features a 256MB card, does both work and personal email and should do really well on high speed Internet.

All you have to do is to wait one month for it to be release and wait for a price. I’m pretty curious what he packages for that one will be. Looks like a good deal from our end. – via EngadgetMobile

Sony Ericsson TM506, First 3G on T-Mobile

Alex Ion — Sat, 06 Sep 2008 08:45:58 +0000

Yes, it’s true Sony Ericsson TM506 is the first HSDPA cellphone on T-Mobile, and yes it’s on sale as you read. It’s the first time T-Mobile gets the scoop out and screams that they have a 3G capable mobile phone but that’s mainly because their 3G network has had the softest launch in mobile history.

Is that a good thing? Time will tell, but I’m pretty sure launched earlier they would’ve had much more clients in the long run, but who am I to teach them business.

But back to our Sony Ericsson TM506 it features a 2-megapixel cam, has TeleNav navigation and stereo Bluetooth, an M2 Memory Stick slot and Instant Messaging. Though it may not be the best we’ve seen the price I’ve heard for that one is close to $79.99 after rebate on contract.

So, will you go on T-Mobile’s 3G network now that we have the TM506 there?

3G Sony Ericsson TM506, on T-Mobile

Alex Ion — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 13:55:00 +0000

Did you know which is going to be the first HSDPA handset that comes to T-Mobile. Yes you’re smart and you already know it from the title. It’s the new 3G Sony Ericsson TM506, that will be available from September at “select T-Mobile retail stores and online.”

The specs of the “two-megabyte flip-phone” may not be impressive but they’re good overall:

dual-band UMTS/HSDPA
a 2-megapixel camera
tri-band GSM
3G connectivity
Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP
microSD slot
GPS on-board
Video recording
support for streaming video and audio, IM

Too bad we don’t have a price yet. My bet is on a bargain, what do you think?

We waited for the new HTC Touch Diamond on Sprint, for such a long long time, but we finally got word that it’s going to be available from September for $299.99 after signing a contract (do I see a 2-year commitment here?) and taking advantage of all sorts of rebates.

I suppose you already know that you get the TouchFLO 3D user interface, a full HTML (Opera) browser, a 3.2 megapixel camera, 4GB internal memory, stereo Bluetooth technology and EV-DO Rev. A.

HTC Touch Diamond is running on Windows Mobile 6.1 and should support Outlook Email, Sprint Mobile E-mail (IMAP and POP3), Picture Mail, Sprint Navigation and Live Search, Sprint TV and Sprint Music Store.

Samsung SCH-U550 on Verizon

Alex Ion — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 18:05:00 +0000

Verizon Wireless has more and more good news for their customers. They announced the new Samsung SCH-U550 in their network which is the successor of Samsung U540 Gleam. But let’s get back to the U550 that just came on Verizon because it comes with display touch sensitive controls, has GPS support and Bluetooth, a microSD slot for up to 8GB cards and a 1.3 megapixel camera with video recorder.

Other goodies include a speakerphone, speech recognition technology and voice control. This is quite a bargain if you plan to sign a 2-years agreement that offers a $50 instant discount for a total of $69.99. The full price is $119.99

iPhone Enterprise Data Plans by AT&T

Alex Ion — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 16:05:38 +0000

There was no specific plan for those business men that needed an iPhone, but things are about to change. AT&T is now offering business plans for it, and even though we don’t have a 3G model on the market yet, it looks like it has a lot to do with IBM’s Lotus Mail for the iPhone. All plans include visual voice mail and unlimited domestic data.

iphone Enterprise Data Plan 200 – 200 SMS : cost $45

iphone Enterprise Data Plan 1500 – 1500 SMS : cost $55

iphone Enterprise Data Plan Unlimited – unlimited SMS : cost $65

If you need to include international data, then it’s $25 for 20MB and $60 for 50MB. One last thing is the fact that if you activate by March 31 and you may get a service credit of $25 per month good through the end of the year.

LG LB3300 – Rhapsody in Music Phone

Alex Ion — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 00:44:01 +0000

LG teamed up with Mark Levinson, a company specialized in designing high end audio devices such as amplifiers or CD players, to create a mobile phone that would please everyone that needs both a device used for calling friends or a media player for different kinds of audio formats.

Apparently teaming to create a fashion phone is not fun anymore, because the market requires amplifiers even on their phones. Called LG LB3300 or LG Rhapsody Music Phone, the slider features a LED-lit touch wheel, a 2 megapixel camera, 1GB of built-in memory space that can get expanded to 4GB, a 2-inch LCD display and Bluetooth A2DP stereo. It doesn’t look like a bad phone and if I add the fact that it can stream two listeners in parallel and has an audio wizard that does miracles with compressed MP3 files, I think it would be a good buying decision.

Here is a video of it working.

Moto RIZR Z6c and Red LG VX8350 Comes to Verizon

Alex Ion — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 18:53:23 +0000

No surprise that the new Motorola RIZR Z6c came to Verizon Wireless and so is the red LG 8350. Both mobile phones were officially announced today and the price is $180 after a $50 rebate for RIZR Z6c and $50 after a $50 rebate for LG 8350 . Of course you get these prices if you sign a 2 years contract with Verizon Wireless.

The phones may not be high tech, with less specs than others but I am sure you agree with me that those that only need them for talking have a great deal over here. You already know what Motorola RIZR Z6c has inside so maybe you want me to give you a few hints on LG VX8350? Bluetooth, 1.3 mpix camera, microSD card slot, media player, 800/1900MHz and a good battery.

Want one? Hurry up or it will run out of stock soon.
