The Impressive Samsung Impression Phone

Prepare to be impressed. By what? By a new type of cell phone display screen technology. It's called AMOLED. That stands for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode. It's a mouthful to say, but the technology advance gives you a crisper and brighter display that is also thinner, lighter and less power hungry. You'll be seeing these deployed in all sorts of mobile devices soon. But right now you can get AMOLED technology in the new Samsung Impression A877 Blue cell phone.

The trend is to larger and larger cell phone screens as cellphones begin to take over the functions once reserved for laptop computers. But the larger the screen, the more of a battery drainer it becomes. That's no good in portable equipment. Hence, all the research into improved technologies that are squeezing the most performance from the lowest battery drain possible. The Samsung Impression's screen offers beautiful color in a 240 x 400 pixel display implemented as a 3.2 inch AMOLED screen.

What is such a nice screen good for? How about viewing the high resolution photos that you can take with the built-in 3.0 Megapixel digital camera. These pictures are good enough to print as well as share via multimedia messaging. The camera can be put into a camcorder mode to record video clips up to 1 hour long. At that length, "clips" seems to be a misnomer. These should probably be called full length programs or feature films.

The Samsung Impression phone is also a messaging center. A slide-out QWERTY keyboard gives you the keys and spacing you need for accurately typing text messages and emails. It's also backlit for your viewing convenience. Web browsing is also available with a full HTML browser included. This phone runs on the AT&T EDGE/GPRS data network and is a quad band GSM phone, the worldwide standard.

The LG Versa-tile Phone

LG has finally addressed the dichotomy between wanting all the advantages of a touchscreen phone and craving an actual physical keyboard. Their answer is to give you both in one cell phone. It's the aptly named LG Versa VX9600 and versatile it really is.

Take this phone out of the box and it looks like many of the popular touchscreen phones that users are snatching up right and left. But look again and you'll see an extra accessory that comes with no other phone. It's a detachable QWERTY keyboard. This is an actual physical keyboard about the same size as the phone, but mounted in a case that can be attached or detached from the main phone body.

Now you have a choice. You can use the Versa in its standalone mode with a virtual keyboard. Or attach the physical keyboard, that also functions as a protective case, and power text to your heart's content.

Here's the best part. The keyboard is not an accessory that you have to order or pay for separately. It's included with the phone, along with the battery, USB/wall charger, user guide and stylus.

The LG Versa is a powerful cellphone that connects to the Verizon Wireless EVDO-Rev A broadband cellular network for 3G data speeds. While 310 MB of memory is onboard, you can easily expand it with up to a 16 GB microSD card. That's a LOT of memory for digital photos, videos, and music. The digital camera in the Versa has a resolution of 2.0 Megapixels with auto-focus, flash, and edit tools. Resolution is good enough to print or share with friends via multimedia messaging.

Internet access is built-in with a full HTML Web browser, touch navigation, bookmarks and high speed downloads. The email client supports VZW Mobile email, POP3 and corporate email w/ SYNC software. Instant messaging is also built-in.

GPS services support lets you get turn by turn directions using the optional VZ Navigator service. There are 3 customizable home pages so you can have your favorite features, contacts and apps right at your fingertips.

Other cool features include a built-in music player that lets you create new playlists and download new music anywhere. The headphone jack is a standard 2.5 mm. Stereo and standard Bluetooth wireless is included. A Verizon service called Chaperone helps you track your child's whereabouts, if you want to add this capability.

Buy, Buy BlackBerry

You've been hearing about BlackBerry wireless devices for years and perhaps envy those high power execs that have their own. But why not get one for yourself? There are some secrets about BlackBerry you should know and the biggest one is that there's a BlackBerry for you.

The first thing you should know is that a BlackBerry is actually a cell phone. Yes, beyond all the high-tech fanciness, the BlackBerry is really a great cell phone. That's one reason execs carry them. They take the place of an ordinary cell phone because they do the same job. You can get a BlackBerry for AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Nextel, Alltel and T-Mobile.

The next thing that you should know is that a BlackBerry device doesn't cost an arm and a leg anymore. They are highly discounted by the carriers when you buy them with a new service plan. Some models are so well discounted that they are available free or even free with a cash back rebate. Even the newer high performance models will set you back less than $200 when you order them online.

When you think of BlackBerry, you probably imagine a square shaped black handheld device with a large color screen and lots of buttons below it. That's the classic BlackBerry look, like you'll find in the RIM BlackBerry 8700g model. But there are other BlackBerry phones that are styled in red or pink or a frosty blue color. Many models are available in silver as well as black. The BlackBerry Storm doesn't have a physical keyboard at all. The familiar QWERTY keyboard appears virtually on the extra large display screen when needed. There's even a BlackBerry flip phone called the Pearl Flip 8220 Maroon. It looks like an ordinary flip phone with an analog clock on the external display. But flip it open and there's the keyboard you need along with the pearl navigation device.

All in all, there are 35 BlackBerry phones you can compare using a simple online search tool. You'll find everything from the very business-like 8830 World Edition to the popular BlackBerry Bold, the many variations of the Pearl and Curve models, the Flip and the Storm. It's up to you to pick the features that make sense for the way you want to use your BlackBerry. Fortunately, that's much easier using the "view features" magnifying glass located near the picture of each BlackBerry. Or select up to 6 models by clicking their check boxes and you can compare them side by side. The "compare" button is near the bottom of the list.

So, don't feel that you have to deny yourself a BlackBerry because they are too expensive or won't do what you need in a cellphone or mobile productivity device. Instead, check out all the current BlackBerry offers now. If you can finally settle on just one, you can order it quickly and easily online.
