Blackberry`s

There are many types of different blackberrys that every phone company has made. The blackberry is a smartphone.The phones get more and more advanced everytime they make a new one. They have the Blackberry ; Torch, Pearl , Curve , Storme , Tour & Bold. There are newer versions of all these phones. I have owned the blackberry pearl , curve and storm but all of the older versions. The storm is a phone that is somewhat like a touch screen but its also a big key at the same time. It is not touch like the Iphone is. The screen is like a big button that you touch wherever you want to click. The pearl is a smaller version of the curve. Except the keys are double lettered instead of single letter keys. There are 2 different types of blackberry pearls. There is the blackberry pearl flip which is a flip phone but also a blackberry at the same time. The blackberry pearl 8110 is the older version of a blackberry. It is not a flip phone.
this is the blackberry pearl 8110.

 Now take a look at the blackberry pearl flip and look at the similiarites.




























The blackberry curve 8330 is allot wider than the blackberry pearl but the same butttons are in the same spots.

This is the blackberry Tour.

This is the newer version of a blackberry pearl. Instead of the pearl in the middle that you use to scroll around and click what u want its a touch pad instead and its sensored. Less chances of it breaking.
This is the blackberry bold it is similar to the new blackberry curve but the keys are allot different.
This is the blackberry storm. You can see that the screen looks like its all touch screen but dont let that fool you. I bought the phone thinking that it was all touch screen like IPhone but it isnt.

Iphone 3G vs. 3GS

Iphone 3GS and 3G have allot of similiarities. I own the Iphone 3G and a couple members of my family own the Iphone 3G. My phone is different from theres because my phone does not have a video camera and there phone does. Also, there camera is allot better than the one on the Iphone 3G. There phone you can set a picture as the background but on my phone you can only set a picture for when u lock ur phone and not as the background. Iphone 3G can only come in 16 gig and 8 gig but the Iphone 3GS can come in 8, 16 and 32 gig. Also the Iphone 3G doesnt come in white but the Iphone 3GS does come in white. The Iphone 3GS and 3G are exactly the same in looks wise.  Iphone 3GS is worth 549.00$ at telus mobility without a 3 year contract , if you chose to make an account and stay with Telus for 3 years. This means that you have to no matter what conditions stay with telus for 3 years and pay a bill for the phone every month. If you buy the iphone with the contract it is 49.00$ with the contract. Iphone 3G is 9.00$ if you buy it with a 3 year contract. If you chose to not get a contract with the phone and either plan on using it as pay as you go , or do not want to have a contract which sometimes is a problem , you can get the phone for 450.00

what is a smartphone?

Smartphones have taken over the cellphone population. If you’ve ever wondered what the difference is between an ordinary cell phone and a smartphone, then you’re not alone. A smartphone is considered a computer in your pocket.It’s a cellular phone that does more than just make calls to the point that it can actually be considered as a laptop in your pocket. There are many types of smartphones that are being created everyday. There are different types of blackberrys, iphones etc. Smartphones allow you to search the web at whatever point of the day wherever you are as long as you have a data plan? but what is a data plan? A cell phone data plan is part of a cell phone service provider's monthly plans offered to those who have an Internet-ready cell phone. Many smart phones are able to access the latest high-speed networks offered by companies, such as Verizon Wireless. If you have a smartphone, these plans can be good if you plan on getting to your  email and the Internet on a daily basis from your phone. Smartphones are really useful for older people who travel and work for a company that they need to always contacts people through email. So in my opinion smartphones really are useful in our life, especially for older buisness people.

do we really need the advanced phones we have today??

 In our generation cell phones have taken over our view on phones to a completely different level. With all of the new types of phones we have today , we can take pictures , search the web , send text messages , etc. But do we really need all of these things on a cellphone ? Teenagers like to think that we do need all of these things they have on cell phones , but parents don't think we need all of these things. So who is right ? In my opinion I believe that we do needs these things on cellphones but I also believe that we do not. I have the IPHONE by apple and this phone lets you do whatever you want. It is like my own personal computer. I can search the web , take pictures , call people , go on facebook , twitter msn etc. Also, the Iphone lets you downloads as many apps that your phone can carry. I have an app on my phone that allows you to know where the police are around you. It comes in handy for partys! My iphone really is my life.. but do i really need an iphone or just a simple phone to text and call with ?
