- Smartphones: Im Ready to Give Them A Try - posted by Hottest Offers on Jun 9th 2009 21:56
I have been using my current phone the Sony Ericson W890i for almost two years and i must say although it was a brilliant phone it is on its last legs. Apart from the unsightly scratches that I’ve made to the cover and the large scratch on the screen, the phone is powering down by itself and cutting off in the middle of important calls.
The W890i in its hey-day was a must have but as we know times and situations change so now for me it is out with the old and in with the new. If you have a Sony Ericson phone especially this model it has been known that the major fault is random switching off. I thought it was just my phone that had this problem but from reading masses of blogs on the net it seems to be a wide known fact that Sony Ericson may look sexy but shut down constantly. I’ve tried out all the brands that the market has to offer now and I think I may need to go back to a good old reliable Nokia. I still have my very first phone which is a Nokia 402 (the one with the interchangeable face) that actually still works perfectly to this day. So in my personal opinion if you have a good experience with a brand why not go back to that brand.
As a 21st century women my life at times can get pretty hectic so keeping up to date with business commitments and storing information when I’m on the move has become really important to me. So now I’m really interested in trying out some of the Smartphone’s on the market. Being on the 3 network obviously limits me to certain phones but they do have some great phones on offer at the moment.
According to user reviews one of the best is the Nokia e71. It has great features, a stylish body and has brilliant email support. The e71 contains a qwerty keypad and slim line design with an outer chrome finish. Making the phone look sturdy and sexy as far as Smartphone go. Consumers have rated this phone quite highly and an important factor for me is that it fits into pockets comfortably. There have been rigorous tests on this phone for its longevity once it is dropped and thankfully it has passed the waist height drop test which is a test that I regular make my phones endure. If you love browsing the net then this phone uses HSDPA which allows you to connect almost anywhere and everywhere. The entertainment factors aren’t as amazing with Smartphone’s versus entertainment phones but this one contains some of the basics like a 3.5 mega pixel camera with video recording, polyphonic ringtones and more. Buy it offline for over £200 alternatively get this on 3 on a monthly contract for £22 a month on a mix and match deal. You will get 300 minutes or text and 300 3 to 3 minutes and Skype usage.
Another phone on the market at the moment is the Nokia N96. However even though this phone is quite popular the reviews aren’t exactly great. If you’re thinking of using the internet then you’re stuck using a typical phone interface. The entertainment functions are excellent on this phone with its built-in stereo speakers and 5 mega-pixel camera. Get this phone offline for around £470.
The blackberry Bold 9000 has been a very popular phone on the market. You could buy this phone offline for around £500. This phone is mostly described by many as being the comeback to the Nokia e71 but geared for those who’s purely into keeping updates on their business requirements. The great thing about this phone is its wide screen face allowing you to watch video and view documents easier and clearer than normal phones. Its icon features have also been upgraded since its previous model giving it a very sleek finish. Apparently setting up your email on this phone is the easiest thing to do which is a big plus point.
Personally I’m going to go for the Nokia e71 it’s been a long time coming but I can’t wait to get onto the Smartphone frenzy.
With Fabio Capello’s England team safely through to the second round of the World Cup, following a 1 nil win against Slovenia, our thoughts can return to Wimbledon. The SW19 tournament kicked off on Monday with Andy Murray flying the flag for the Brits.
Whether its strawberries and cream, Pimms, Cliff Richard singing in the rain or the fans on Henman Hill or Murrays Mound, the traditions of Wimbledon mean there isn’t another event like it in the sporting calendar.
Earlier This Week, Chancellor George Osborne announced brutal spending cuts and tax rises, to aid the UK’s economic recovery. Mr Osborne warned that years of financial mismanagement by the Labour government had made these measures necessary.

Girl s Aloud’s Kimberley Walsh has been busy promoting a Sky documentary about the history and evolution of jeans. The programme which aired on Monday followed the singer as she travelled across America and Europe meeting designers, visiting factories and denim fashion houses.
The most interesting thing about this programme was the segments on finding the perfect pair of jeans. Despite having a more sizeable budget than most, the pop star told TV presenters Holly and Phillip dur....
The housing market has battled its way through the recession from late 2008 up until early 2010. The market is still not on its way to prosperity but in the last few months we have seen an increase in houses being put up for sale. No doubt one of the major reasons that the extra increase has come about is due to the removal of Home Information Pack (HIP) by the conservative government.
