Palm Pre
Have you hear about the newest all overcomingconquering, smartphone, the Palm Pre? Maybe you have if you are a techie, but otherwise you probably could care less, and that is the issue. The phone is destined for the same fate as the awesome T-Mobile G1. That was also a tremendous phone with new technology and better and badder than the Iphone, yet has failed miserably at dethroning the champ from it’s high loft.
When predicting success of a smartphone, one has to identify what kind of user will buy each type and specific model of handset, and then market directly to those people. You also have to acknowledge that the competition will take away some of your business anyway, whatever kind of phone you have. You also have to contemplate the people that will be willing to fork out the big bucks the type of phone you are going to produce, particularly the business community who is more likely to use a smartphone anyway.
Now, the Palm is strong in business, and the Pre has all kinds of entertainment and productivity features that consumers will like, so it should be a natural seller, right? Not so fast. Business users need more secure phones capable of running proprietary applications and to connect with company databases. This is where phones like the Blackberry and Palm excel. It takes many years to get companies onto these platforms, and it is very painful for them to switch when they do commit, so the Palm users are unlikely to go to Blackberry and vice versa. So, Palm is unlikely to pick up many users from other businesses.
Just like the Iphone failed to live up to its expectations in the business market, the new Palm is unlike to make any headway, especially since Palm as a ongoing concern has seen sales declines over many years and is in a weakened position financially to promote and support it’s phones. In fact, Sprint dealers are remarking that they have not been told to promote the Pre to business customers. So, who else is going to fork out that much for a smartphone that has all those fancy productivity tools, Grandma that wants a phone with only three buttons? I don’t think so.
Sprint is actually trying to sell the old school Treo to business customers, even though sales appear to have dismal. The Pre runs a brand new operation system which may be a challenge to integrate with existing customers, which is a conundrum for businesses which want stability and compatibility. Palm can’t just seem to get it’s act together. So, are consumers ready to pay several hundred dollars for just another Palm that, as far as I can tell, doesn’t have anything special over the Iphone and doesn’t look nearly as slick.
The average purchaser wants simplicity, applications, and a good looking phone they can show off to their friends. Apple obviously beats Palm and anyone else here. Apple has also done a far better job at marketing. So, why can’t the other carriers get their act together, simply copy the Iphone and price it lower? Heaven knows.

Do you know what Skype is? Do you know you can talk to almost anyone or very little? It has always been a dream of mine to be able to call more cheaply than cellphone rates, and now we have an option. Have you heard of VOIP, voice over internet but didn’t know what it was all about? Do you love to talk on your home phone all day long or your cell for business? Do you fee like you have to sell your house to support that habit? Well, no more of that.
Now there is an answer. You may be able to use Skype service to save money. You must have a fast internet connection to use skype, either DSL or cable. Even some cell phones with faster connections, a mobile skype version is also available. Overseas calls are a bit higher, but not too much. It only costs me $.02 cents per minute to call Italy. I had to find a cheaper way to call because I have friends overseas and started using skype years ago. You can also use the service to call from other countries back to the states cheaply.
Skype to other Skype calls are completely free. And anyone who has the service can call you for free. Skype uses your Internet service to make the calls. Most of the calls are just as clear or better than your cell phone, similar to your home phone quality, because they are routed through the internet. In the past you were hooked to your computer with headphones. Those days are now in the past. You can get combination Skype/landline dual phones that switch between functions.
There are even options to have more than one phone line. A member of your family can be gabbing on your landline and you can be talking on the Skype side all at the same time. If you love to talk or you have someone in your family that does, Skype may the answer to your current situation. Unlimited calling in the US and Canada are $2.95 per month. There are no contracts even, which is the best part. If you want to add Mexico the monthly charges go up to $5.95 and unlimited to the world if you don’t want to pay per minute are $9.95. what an amazing deal.
Skpe also has features like instant messaging, chats including video, and even voice mail and call forwarding. Only one bad thing, your actual phone number does not show up on the display of the other person, so I have had some people not answer. The pricing for the combination dual phones with an extra phone are very cheap, so might as well look into them. This may be the best solution to calling cheaply to your friends, family, and even other countries.

I read quite a bit about this phone before I used it. Quite often they refer to it as an entry level smart phone, which means it is still probably better than a regular cell phone. Despite the misnomer that the Centro is lacking in features, that does not seem to be the case at all. I have the AT&T version, which is the same as any other, which has all the organizer functions of any Palm. For those of you not used to a Palm, those functions include calendar, address book, memos, and to do lists. All those functions have the ability to mark a record as private, and to synchronize with your computer, by either USB or Bluetooth. The Centro has a full keyboard and touch screen input as well. The Centro also has infrared beaming capability, which is useful in sending information from one device to another to send your songs to your friends for free, kind of neat.
The Centro has the functionality to do word type documents, has Google Maps, and a music player. A nice feature is if you have someone’s address in contacts, you can map it from the contact and get driving directions to or from another location. You can also open e-mail from contacts, or, from e-mail, choose a contact address. The functions are very functional and useful.
I looked at Blackberries, Palm, and Iphones before deciding on what to get. I didn’t like the Blackberry Pearl because it does not have a complete keyboard. I was interested in the Curve, but it is a little larger than the Centro and heftier. I chose the Palm because I had used the operating system for many years, so it was familiar and an easy transition. I also like the size of the Centro and that it is relatively cheap.
As a phone, the clarity is the greatest of any cell I have had so far, so can’t complain there. The size is small enough to easily carry in a shirt pocket, not some huge brick like phone. I really like the full keyboard for typing, even though the letters are not for fat fingered people. There is also a touch screen keyboard if you are into that kind of cool stuff. The camera is decent at 1.3 mega pixels, but obviously not up the Samsung Memoir with 8 megapixels etc. I also like the documents to go function which includes Word, EXCEL, PowerPoint and a pdf reader. E-mail and web functions work pretty well. E-mail and web packages are getting more expensive, but are usually about $25 to $30 per month depending on the carrier. I also like that I don’t have to use the internet (or pay for it) if I don’t want to unlike some other phones.
The Palm operating system is excellent. It really should have sold better than it has. Unfortunately, this may be the last device to use this OS. But with over 2 million Centros sold, it should be around for a while. The phone itself is easy to hold and use and has both a keyboard and a touch screen. I think it is a bit slick for the full keyboard, but you can get tops that help you to hold it better to type. Like the Iphone, there are literally thousands if applications available. For entertainment, I’ve added Spider, Free Cell and Scrabble. I also have a dictionary at my fingertips. Memory is pretty sparse, with only 128MB of storage to begin with, although it will accommodate a 4 gig micro SD card for music, photos and videos.
Battery life, like any smartphone needs to be improved. If you use voice and data, you will have to charge the phone every day. The only good battery I have ever witnessed is on the blackberry, but even it is not spectacular. So, get a spare backup if you are a heavy user.
In summary, I find the Centro does everything it claims to, and it does them well in a inexpensive and functional package. It is usually available for under $100 with a two year contract. I got mine a bit cheaper because I know someone that worked for AT&T and wanted to get rid of it cheap and without a contract. Although I know some earlier Palm smart phones had issues (that is why T-Mobile no longer carries them), I’ve had my Centro for quite a while now and have had a good experience with it. It is not as nice as my G1, but a lot cheaper!

How About prepaid wireless cell phones
A consumer magazine has identified the three most important factors in choosing a prepaid wireless cell phones plan. Based on their survey, network quality is the leading characteristic that people look for in prepaid wireless plans. Next to it are pricing and flexibility.
Prepaid wireless companies may conduct business even without having their own cell towers. They do so by buying minutes from traditional wireless carriers. The services they offer may not be that commendable, but people still purchase their services because they can get discounts in several stores.
One advantage of prepaid wireless phone plans is that they do not come with long-term contracts. Some carriers even allow users to refill their prepaid wireless with their credit cards. This way, they can ensure that there will be no interruption in their cell usage.
For people who still cannot decide whether to take benefit of a wireless phone plan or simply settle down for a wireless prepaid service, they can try to look at these two options by using three categories. First, they can compare the charges per minute offered by prepaid and postpaid plans. Calls made using a prepaid plan are usually more expensive. If the user plans to use the call services frequently, it would be better to get a postpaid plan. Next, the owner can also check the coverage areas. Some prepaid plans are expensive when roaming service must be used. Lastly, users should look at the call quality of both postpaid and prepaid plans. While they may be with the same network, postpaid plans usually offer clearer reception than prepaid plans.

The IMES code is individual to each cell phone, when you lose your phone, you can refer the code to your network provider as well as handset provider and trace back the cell phone, or at least block the applications in the phone. The person who stole the cell phone can’t use it after the IMES code is blocked.

We all know that having a cell phone means that you do not need to take calls from people you do not want to talk to. This is one of the best inventions that man has come up with. We all remember the time that we had no choice but to answer the phone, not knowing who was on the other end.
This meant that we all got stuck listening to telemarketers gabber on about our great some dumb product is, even though we knew it was crap. With cell phones you do not have this problem, if you do not know the number trace the phone number, you do not need to answer the phone. However, what happens if you mistakenly answer a number that you don’t know, and on the other side is a person of interest, maybe the person threatened you, or it was a prank call.
In the old day there was a thing called star 69, this was done on the old land line
phones, for cell phone this service is call cellular phone number search, and it is done online. With star 69, you would be able to dial *69 and the call would be reverse, which means that you would be talking to the other person on the other side.
With a cellular phone number cell phone number lookup search you get more than just a reversed phone call, if you are searching for someone, and you have that person’s number all you need to do is log into a address that supplies this service online and punch in the ten digit phone number of the person you are looking for. In a matter of seconds you will have the person’s name, address and even his or her email address. If the search went well you may even get phone numbers to people related to this person.
Is it really possible to run a free reverse phone lookup on the internet? Most of us have become disillusioned and frustrated in the past with websites which appear to serve free products or services online but in fact do not. Is this the case with cell phone phone lookups?
I have seen websites declaring to supply free cell phone lookups, but they always lead eventually to the paid sites in the end, even allowing people to search for free and then charging to view the results. It is the sad truth that the only place where you are likely to find detailed reverse cell records is within the legitimate paid directories. In conclusion, the answer is no, free cell phone lookups do not currently exist. However if you really want to access such records then I believe paying a small fee is a price worth paying.
