Bluetooth for cellphones

Now in canada that their is a law where you can not use your cellphones if you are driving they have this accesorie for phones that is called bluetooth. They have many different options of using bluetooth. They have an ear piece that easily attaches to your ear and it is very small and you can keep it on your ear at all times. So if you are not in your car but are working and you dont like always having to hold your cellphone to your ear you can just keep it attached to your ear. So its not only for when your in the car but for when your working to. Also they have a bluetooth specifically for the car. You attach it to the sun visor over top of your head where your mirror is found in ur car and you can hear the person on the phone and also talk to them. These accesories are called handsfree accessories. These are very handy so that you dont get a ticket for talking on the phone and driving at the same time. Most buisness men use the bluetooth for work also because you dont always want to have to hold your phone up to your ear. The disadvantage about using the bluetooth ear piece other than when your in your car , for example if your grocery shopping it makes it look like your talking to yourself because your not holding a phone up to your ear.

LG Dare

The company LG has a phone called the LG dare. In my opinion this is just a cheap rip off of the iphone. It is all touch screen like the iphone is except there are a few buttons that you can actually click. It is the phone button which is to answer or hangup a phone call. And a center button that allows you to select what you want. The phone is somewhat like the iphone because it is all touch screen but they keyboard is very different from the iphone keyboard.  It is also very different from the iphone because on the iphone when you have a text message with a certain contact or number in your phone on the iphone it is only one folder and it is your whole conversation, but on the LG dare it is like a normal phone where you have to open every text message it is not all grouped in one. The camera on the LG dare is definetly not even close to the camera on the iphone. The camera on the iphone you pretty much dont even need to have a camera if you own that phone. But the LG dare does not take as good pictures as the iphone. The LG dare has a 3” touch screen which is allot smaller then the touch screen on the iphone. It has a 3.2 megapixel camera. This phone also does not have a flash on it but neither does the iphone 3g or 3gs but the iphone 4 does have a flash for you to use for the camera.

Which phone company to go with?

There are several different phone companys that you can chose to go with when you decide to buy a new cellphone. The most popular phone companys are Telus, Bell , Rogers & koodo. The problem with Telus that some people tend to complain about is that there service is very slow. I think this is because so many people have a phone with the Telus phone company and there are so many people using their phone at the same time that it slows down their server. The problem with Koodo that people tend to complain about is that they dont offer as many phones that the other phone companys offer. Koodo does not offer the Iphone and most people want this advanced phone. The problem with bell is that most of their phones do not have sim cards there are only a couple of their phones that use the sim card. The problem without having a sim card is that when you buy a new phone and you want to have all your contacts and stuff you have to actually go into the store and get them to transfer everything for you and sometimes they charge you to do that, but with the sim card everything is saved onto your sim card. Also with telus if u dont have a sim card they charge you 25.00$ to activate a new phone but if you have a sim card you just transfer your sim card into the new phone and then you dont have to pay.

The New Blackberry Style 9670

The phone company blackberry recently came out with a new version of a blackberry. This blackberry is called the blackberry style. It is somewhat similar to all the other blackberry`s that they have but this one is a flip. It is only the second phone that blackberry came out with that is a flip phone. The other phone that blackberry has is the blackberry pearl flip. In my opinion the blackberry style is a blackberry bold just in a flip version. Its a flip version of the newest bold. It has the same keyboard as the bold and instead of the pearl ball that they use to select where you want to go on the phone it`s a track pad. This makes it much easier then what they use to use. The ball in my opinion was allot of trouble because it could fall out and sometimes the ball wouldnt be able to scroll up and the track pad is much easier. The blackberry style in my opinion is a good new version of a blackberry because since it is flip it is pretty much impossible for you to call someone by accident. aka "pocket dial". The new blackberry style is 399.99$ without a contract at telus. If you sign a new contract with telus for one year it is 349.99$, if you sign a new contract for 2 years it is 299.99$ and if you sign a new contract for 3 years it is only 49.99$.

Music on Cellphones

Most Cellphones today you are able to put music on your cellphone and use it like an mp3 and or ipod. You can put music on your phone with a usb chord that the phone company usually gives to you when you buy the phone . It is usually included in the box with the phone. Most of phones today let you do this , which is another good reason to own a cellphone. Because not only is it a cellphone but you can use it as an ipod. So you wouldnt have to worry about having to buy a cellphone and an iphone. The only problem that ive noticed with using my phone also as an ipod is that it makes the battery die allot faster then it normally would if you werent listening to music.You would never have to worry about forgetting your ipod when you left the house because everyone usually never forgets to bring their phone with them. So that makes a phone and ipod in one.

Blackberry messenger

Everyone who has owned a blackberry or who does own a blackberry mostly uses the app that comes with the phone called Blackberry Messenger. This is like text messaging except you can only talk to people who have a blackberry on this application. It is allot easier then texting because the messages deliver allot faster. Also , it tells you when the message is delivered and read. So you can tell if someone read your message and you can tell if there ignoring you or not. Also, you can have a display name and a personal message which allows your contacts to see. You can send smileys to another contacts and it will show up. You can send a ping to a contact which is something to get your blackberry messenger contacts attention. You have a status on blackberry messenger which you can set to busy or available so that your contacts know if your busy doing something then they know not to bother you. You can broadcast a message on blackberry messenger which is you can select which contacts you would like to send the same message to and you can send it all at once. There are some problems with blackberry messenger. It likes to freeze allot which makes you have to take out your battery and restart your whole phone. To be able to have contacts on blackberry messenger every blackberry you have has a certain pin and you either scan the barcode by addding them or simply just type in their pin code.

Data Plans

Most people think that if you have a blackberry you have to have a data plan with your phone which allows you with a certain amount of megabytes of searching the web on your phone every month, blackberry messenger , facebook , twitter etc. Some people think that if you have a blackberry you need a data plan. This is not true. You can still own a blackberry or an iphone and not have a data plan. This just means that you cant have blackberry messenger like most people who own blackberrys like to use. Also , if u have an iphone you dont need a data plan either. It can be like a normal phone and just be texting and calling and whatever else a normal phone plan would have.  But why would you buy a blackberry and/or iphone if you dont have a data plan. A data plan is allot more expensive then a regular phone plan. This is very obvious because you have allot more options when you have a data plan. You pretty much have a computer in your pocket. With the data plan , you can change your facebook at any time of the day , you can check your email if your in the middle of no where.
