Acer mobile phones have always lured me with their drop-dead gorgeous looks and out of the box features. The Acer beTouch E200 is certainly no exception. I have literally fallen in love with this gadget. Since the time I got hold of it, I have never ever left my place, without taking it along. Come to think of it, this gizmo caters to all my requirements, ranging from entertainment to gaming. What else could I ask for? I simply adore nature and often go out on expeditions. Every time I need to carry a camera along, but not any more. One of the best mobile phones I ever had, the Acer beTouch E200 comes with a 3.15 mega pixel camera that not only allows me to click pictures, but I can record videos as well. The last time I was out on a trip and I filmed a lioness caressing her cub. Of course , the visual was appealing, but the video is even better. Believe me it has come out with such clarity that whenever I watch it, I go down the memory lane.

What acts like an icing on the cake is the fact that I can share these pictures with my friends through MMS. While I was out there in the forest, the music player that the Acer beTouch E200 is embellished with, helped me get rid of boredom, as I got to listen to my favourite songs. Not to forget the interesting games that it brings along. It also has a video player that steals the show and acts like a cherry on the cake. This player supports multiple file formats. Coming back to the concrete world, let me share with you a couple of enticing features. It provides you with ample storage space to store your pictures, music, videos and of course documents. To view your documents, you can put to use the Pocket Office application that comes along. Some of the other add ons that I find pretty useful are GPS, voice memo and an HTML browser. Out and out, a perfect mobile phone!

I am literally a chatter-box and I spend most of time talking to my friends and family over the phone. The only problem I encounter is that I need to charge my mobile phone after every few hours. It completely spoils my mood and is an obstacle that’s hard to overcome. But this is a thing of the past. The Samsung Omnia Pro B7330 which I recently got hold of, provides me with a whopping talk time of up to 10 hours, all thanks to the standard battery that it comes with. Entertainment receives a shot in the arm with the options that it offers. The Samsung Omnia Pro B7330 brings along a music player that interestingly supports quite a number of file formats, including MP3 and WMA. To woo music buffs, it is equipped with a stereo FM radio with RDS. What I enjoy the most is the time when me and my friends sit together and watch videos and this gizmo lets us do that, with the video player that comes along. Having said that, it also provides you with several exciting games.

It is embellished with a 3.15MP camera that bestows upon me the freedom to click pictures as well as record videos. Is not that simply great? The cherry on the cake is that features such as face and smile detection, geo-tagging and auto focus, accompany the camera and boost up its performance. And yes, there is a secondary camera as well. To share the photographs with others, one need not rely on e-mail, though this gadget supports it as well, rather one can do so through MMS. For your information, the other messaging options include SMS and instant messaging. Talking of the display, the Samsung phone comes with a 2.4 inches TFT screen that provides me a beaming view. Something which I was not aware of before procuring this handset is that it has a full QWERTY keyboard. Imagine the spark I had in my eyes, when I got to know this. It not only makes typing easy, but also adds on to the style quotient. And style is what this gizmo is all about!

I am a gaming freak and literally you would find me playing games on my Nintendo DS, most of the time. However, this habit is taking a toll on my studies, but that’s a separate issue. So, the device I am talking about is a gaming console, blessed with two separate TFT LCD screens, both measuring 3 inches in size. The screens have a resolution of 256×192 pixels, providing me with a baroque view, while playing games. Sometimes, I tend to be forgetful and probably this is the reason I forgot to mention the dimensions. Anyways, it has a mass of 300 grams and measures 148.7 x 84.7 x 28.9 mm. The Nintendo DS comes with an in-built microphone, which most of the other gaming consoles lack, providing this device an edge over the others. To my surprise, this console is fully compatible with wireless network connection, that is Wi-Fi 802.11. The Nintendo Original Protocol that it comes with is liking an icing on the cake. On top of that, the users can easily play multi-player games with other systems, with the help of a unique feature, known as Download Play. The best part is that only one game card needs to be used for this purpose. One of the features that has made me fall in love with this device is PicoChat. It allows me to interact with other users, provided they are within the local wireless range. Is not that simply great? On top of that, it’s the easiest thing to do.

All that needs to be done is to enter text, draw pictures or handwrite messages, for that matter. For drawing purposes, one can make use of the stylus that comes along. Precisely, there are four separate chat rooms, wherein one can communicate with others. The maximum number of people that can join the chat room is sixteen. Every device has a unique feature that makes it stand apart. The Nintendo DS is highly popular because it comes with a 850 mAh battery that lasts for almost 10 hours, when fully charged.

I have been a fatso all my life. I got myself enrolled in a number of fitness programs, but all my efforts turned futile, as I do no have time to hit the gym and work out. Being a good-looking guy, the only thing I hate about my self is my weight. I was quite depressed due to this, when one of my friends told me about the Wii Fit. I am not an avid lover of video games as such, but this game, developed by the gaming giant Nintendo changed my perception. As the name suggests, the Wii Fit is an exercise game and its popularity is increasing leaps and bounds, which is obvious from the fact that millions of copies have already been sold. To tell you the truth, two weeks back, I stood at 105 kilograms. Now, after using this game for 2 weeks, my weight has reduced by almost 10 kilograms, all thanks to the training that it provides. You may not get similar results, but that totally depends on what you do and of course your body type.

For the convenience of the users, the training has been categorised and segregated into four different activities. These include yoga, aerobics, strength training and balance games. The best part is that these activities do not result in overexertion, though they do provide an extensive full-body workout. And of course, these categories include several activities like deep-breathing, single leg extension, hula hoop, to name a few.

What I like the most is that the Wii Fit Free Gift gives due credit to almost all the activities that you perform like playing guitar, walking, among others. It maintains an activity log and all these activities are added on to the log. Though, it does not affect the daily exercise time. The activities performed without the game are categorised as light, medium and heavy. The fact that it uses imperial units and displays the weight using traditional style of stones and pounds acts like an icing on the cake. It is best thing I could gift myself, thats all I can say with teary eyes!

Whenever I am out there on the road heading towards an unknown place, I tend to get lost. How many times have you faced a similar situation? God bless the man who came up with navigation systems. The market is flooded with gadgets, however, not all are worth trying. Snooper Syrius, created by the navigation systems giant Snooper is an exception though. Of lately, it had become highly popular and the demand is increasing manifold. As a matter of fact, everyone who drives a car should get hold of the Snooper Syrius as soon as possible. This is because it comes with a plethora of features that let you enjoy safe and comfortable driving. It brings along an in-built speed camera detector that saves your hard earned money.

Confused? Let me simplify it for you. It alerts you whenever you are about to approach a speed camera, so you do not end up paying a hefty fine. It is my best companion while I am driving as it provides me with voice instructions, that protect me from fatalities as instead of checking out the map time and again, I can simply listen to what is being said and drive ahead. Is not that simply brilliant? What makes this gadget a hot-favourite among the masses is the fact that it brings along an innovative feature known as auto ranging, that takes into consideration the speed limit of the area in which you are driving and comes up with the distance required, based on that information.

The Snooper Syrius comes with a touchscreen which allows to put it to use, quite comfortably. On top of that, it has in-built rechargeable batteries and is easy to install as there are no cumbersome wires. Using this gadget is a child’s play. All that needs to be done is to key in the street name or the city or town. If neither of them is available, even the postcode would do. The best part is that the routes that you use on a regular basis can be saved in a separate file, titled ‘favourites’ and can be referred to anytime. That’s simply astounding, isn’t it?

I have always had a soft corner for LG handsets. This is because, not only do they add on to my style statement, but the latest LG phones come fully-packed with unimaginable features. Camera, music player, video player, radio, GPS, they have them all. Who would want to carry additional gadgets for clicking pictures or playing videos while going out?

Though its difficult to choose the best from the entire collection, still I would like to mention three of the mobile phones which I like the most. The first one is the LG BL40 Chocolate, which I got on my last birthday, whereas the second one is the LG KM900 Arena, which I have always craved for, but my brother got hold of it. Talk of sibling rivalry? Jokes apart, the third one is the LG KP500 Cookie.

To begin with, the LG BL40 chocolate, which is one of the latest LG phones, almost took my breath with its drop-dead gorgeous looks, when I saw it for the first time. It comes with a 5MP camera that allows me to encapsulate all my beautiful moments. Moving on to other features, it brings along a music player and a video player as well. It caters to all my requirements with its user-friendly applications like Bluetooth and A-GPS.
Now comes the turn of the LG KM900 Arena. It comes with a whopping internal memory of 8GB, with an option to expand it further. My brother hardly shares it with me, but whenever I manage to lay may hands on it, its 3.0” TFT capacitive touchscreen mesmerises me with its splendid view. It is equipped with a 5MP camera that churns out pictures and videos scoring high on quality. In addition, it supports GPRS, EDGE and other similar technologies.

Last, but not the least, the LG KP500 Cookie is as tempting as a real cookie. It makes use of the new-age technologies and delivers an unbelievable performance. In a nutshell, it brings along a 3.15MP camera, a video player, a music player, a stereo FM radio with RDS, to name a few. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the latest phones beautifully amalgamate technology, styling and usability.

I had a mobile phone and with it I also got a SIM card which I had been using till day before yesterday. I lost the SIM somewhere in the playground outside my home. I tried hard to find it back but was unsuccessful and had to leave the search with a mark of failure on my face.

The next day I ran all round to get a SIM which I got after much of serious efforts. It was only my SIM only mobile phone due to which I was successful in changing the SIM to use the handset again. These phones can hold any provider’s SIM to get through the process of communication once again. Whatever be your reasons, you get a chance to switch your provider whenever you want. I was simply stuck when I realized that I have lost my SIM. It was really a disastrous sensation to know that I had lost my main source of talking through a phone.

In the cut throat competition of different manufacturers and service providers, along with the retailers, the SIM only deals appear for the rescue of them all at a time. The network providers have to offer an excellent service to remain above all the others; else the users will jump to some other network through the availability of the said deals.

I was one of the happiest persons when I got to know that I did not have to go anywhere in order to avail one of the said deals. One of my friends told me that I could get the SIM only phones direct on the internet. He informed me that there are many websites present over the web which I could know after searching for some time there itself. And yes, it was true. When I searched for ‘mobile phone retailers’, large number of pages with ten websites on each page appeared on my computer screen. These sites have all types of deals with them which also include the SIM only phone deals. I found that they also have many phones to sell and we can purchase one to carry a gift to our homes.

There are choices with respect to every small deal there. I was really overjoyed to get my deal and to know that I could do so many things simply from my home PC.

Mobile phones have presently held a very high position in our lives. We are so much tied to these gadgets that we can’t pass a day without them. At least I can’t! Yes, I can’t and I don’t have any regrets in speaking out this fact. I am able to handle so many jobs with the device in my hand that I can’t even enumerate them here.
With the fact stated, the handset owners here get a great advantage to use whatever provider they feel like.
I was further excited to know the time it would take for the delivery to take place. Well, that would be done in the least time duration was the answer. There were a few more terms and conditions of the retailer to be followed for getting the SIM only phone deals. I was probably the happiest person on the earth when I got finished off with the purchase tasks. And I thanked my friend for the help he offered.

You might be familiar with biggies like T-Mobile, Orange and Vodafone, but what most people do not know is the fact that many of these also provide the facility of upgrading.

“This one. No, the other one. Ok! Let me start with counting!” This was the way I went out for choosing one among the large number of handsets on display. They were so alike on all respects and so attractive as well that I was in a total state of dilemma while going on to purchase one phone. At last I decided to go for the Nokia N86 8MP which is an excellent device. This I got to understand after using it for two days. After two days what I can say is that Nokia won’t be able to bring any better device, at least for the time being. AMOLED screen of 2.6 inches is the feature for an excellent and amazing display. An accelerometer sensor supporting the use of this gadget by simple means of shaking and inclining the handset. Proximity sensor for auto turn-off enables me with a tool for guessing the users’ presence and turning off this gadget.

I again got a camera with the purchase of this gadget as here is an 8 MP high technology camera. Autofocus and LED flash features enable the capturing of a perfectly focused image in a very comfortable manner. Dual slide design is available here such that one can get an attractive device with himself. Just push the slide to make a thrilling keypad in view. Geotagging is provided only for me. Actually, it gets very tough for me to know the location where I had shot the image due to my forgetful nature. But now, every snap will be tagged with the location and so I would know it when I see the snap. Face and smile detection provide an easy way to shoot the snap at the exact kodak moment. Videos can also be captured with this gadget. The Nokia N86 8 MP is further provided with a radio and a music player through which the users can remain in non stop touch of music.

Games are further available here to keep you entertained in a different manner. If you get bored with the few games present here in the phone, you can always go for more present over the internet. SMS, MMS, Email are the means through which you can send messages of different sorts that includes written mails and videos with pictures. Document viewer (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF) for doing all forms of office works is also provided here in the smartphone. Tests have revealed that the battery here offers a music play support of 25 hours with a 3G talktime support of about 4 hours. Now I have the phone and am happy with its performance.
