T-Mobile Cell Phones: Calls To Haiti Free Of Charge

The earthquake that hit Haiti last week has taken the lives of literally tens of thousands of people and it has put the lives of hundreds of thousands of others on hold. The devastation is incredible and magnified when the problems in Haiti prior to the earthquake are considered. That’s why T-Mobile Cell Phones has decided to allow all customers calls to Haiti free of charge until January 31. In addition, roaming charges and the like for customers in Haiti will not be charged and instead they will be able to use T-mobile cell phones partner networks while in Haiti.

While it’s not the biggest gesture in the world it is a very applicable and useful one. It not only helps people in Haiti, in the wake of the Earthquake, but also those living outside the country help reconnect with family and friends who still live there. It’s nice to see a big company like T-mobile cell phones have a heart in such a time of desperation for so many people. Certainly this gesture will not go unnoticed and one must wonder if other cell phone companies will catch. Even if they are reluctant, will they really risk not making the PR move to save a few bucks and further punish those affected by this earthquake?

Well, this author thinks that if any of these other companies are smart they will follow the example of the T-mobile cell phones and do the same if not up them. Why not? Who can honestly say one of these companies can’t suspend January and maybe even February accounts for those with calls going to Haiti? Exactly. So, I think they should do it. The idea is get help from those who have the means to those affected and without the means. Well if that’s the case then Verizon, ATT, Sprint, Nextel, Boost Mobile and a slew of others need to step it up and quick. Relief in this form will only work if action is taken immediately. Unlike monetary donations, it won’t help in the future; it is not applicable for the future.

So kudos to T-Mobile for waiving their charges to those that need to find loved ones. And let’s hope that they are a trendsetter for the other cell phone companies out there. This is a win-win situation for all, if the companies would look past the initial losses of one or two months.

Cell Phone Reviews-3 Leading Edge Cell Phones

The numerous cell phone reviews are indicative of the seriousness of the battle for top spot among the cell phone heavyhitters. The smart phone has come out a definite frontrunner. Initially a bit pricey, it has recently redeemed itself by falling in step as a cell phone that anyone can purchase.

Pocket PCs, Treos and BlackBerrys continue to be the leaders in taking a big bite out of your bank books. While T-Mobile and Cingular Wireless seem to have gotten the consumer message (and as a result, their dollars). T-Mobile used this years summertime fun to slip in a humdinger and a hybrid. The humdinger was the Pearl.

This handset had the unique distinction of being the very first BlackBerry sporting a camera and music features. The hybrid was a handset called the Dash.
They both stepped on stage close to the affordable 0.00 mark. Although the hybrid has eventually been sacrificed for a measly 0.00.

Cingular Wireless have recently paraded before the buying public three handsets that have hovered near the 0.00 mark. This triple threat is the Nokia E62, the Samsung BlackJack and the Palm Treo 680.
Lets take a quick look at these smart phones:

Nokia E62

The Nokias interface is chuck full of programming stuff. Possibly to the point of overkill. It is a good thing that they have a well laid out, user-friendly manual because it was surely needed. Sorry photographers, no camera. I know, that is a bummer. Cameras seem to be standard fare on cell phones nowadays.

The handset does feels good in the hand though and the keys are well spaced. It sports a large screen and because of that the E62 comes in a tad bigger than the conventional cell phones of today. Another noticeable plus is that the email platform can hold its own when compared with the BlackBerrys.

A memory slot is included but it does come across the finish line huffing carrying a hefty 5.1 ounces and a chunky waistline just over half-inch thick. All in all not bad. Definitely a situation of losing ground on the corners and picking it up on the straight, especially with that juicy pricing.

Samsung BlackJack

The Samsung BlackJack is sleek, fashion-forward and magnetic; yes, it has looks that will draw you. It boasts a captivating screen with full QWERTY keyboard. Decked out with Bluetooth 2.0 and better than average cell phone speaker quality.

The BlackJack sports Windows Mobile smart phone capabilities along with Cingular Video and Music services. Blackjack represents another chink in the Cingular Wireless armor. However, there are some reservations about cramped onboard controls and slow loading.

Palm Treo 680

While this stallion is pleasing to the eye, she does carry a noticeable limp. The camera falls down at the first hurdle. The QWERTY keyboard, narrow and cramped suffers the same fate at the next. And finding herself striped of Wi-Fi, Palms Wi-Fi card and voice dialing she does not even attempt the waterhazard. A bad start indeed!

However, being a thoroughbred from the Palm Treo 680 stable of handsets, things quickly begin to turn around. This stallion has a sleek design, can involve Bluetooth in a wireless capacity, and is easy to navigate. She has lots of memory along with outstanding email capabilities.

This workhorse can be roughed up, is very forgiving and coupled with its affordable pricetag is a good buy for a first time cell phone owner. These three nicely priced cell phones will make Cingular Wireless proud.

They are strategically positioned for 2007. With baited breath we eagerly await even better bred phones from the Cingular Wireless stable.

These detail-oriented cell phone reviews have illustrated the skills of the Cingular Wireless research people. These cell phones are sleek, captivating and in fashion. Get one now for 2007. Make your statement with a Cingular. Grab yours here: cell phone reviews.

Windows Mobile Cell Phones

In the market of several of large mainstream system, Windows Mobile is the older, but recently the latest Gartner figures showed that according to smart phones’ sales to dealers in the first quarter of the year 2010, the situation of Windows Mobile is very embarrassing. How does the WM system do facing pressure and what effect do Mobile phones have?

The history of phones version of Windows Mobile

Windows Mobile, whose prototype is Windows CE, before the early of 2003 version, called Pocket PC, Smart Phone, now renamed Windows Mobile. WM system has been updated to 6.5 version, which is widely used in Mobile phones and other handheld devices. From the early version 3.0 to the development of 6.5, the combine of cell phones and WM system is more efficiency and almighty. Besides, the strengthening of cell phone and compatibility of the system is what Microsoft has been concerned when changing version. It’s reported the latest Windows phone7 will be available in this year. Let’s expect that it will bring us a new surprise.

The Actuality of Windows Mobile Cell Phones

Although history is very old, the present situation of the Windows Mobile is not optimistic, from the latest information, Android takes 9.6% in the first quarter of Mobile phones on the market share, which is below in the Symbian of Nokia, blackberry operating system of RIM and iPhone OS of apples, but higher than Windows Mobile of Microsoft, ranking the fourth.

Data shows that more than 240 million Symbian were sold in the first quarter increased by 35% year-on-year, but affected by overall sales soared of smart phone, market share reduced from 48% to 44.3%.

The shipment of Blackberry is more than 10.5 million in the first quarter, increasing by 40% year-on-year, market share dropped from 20.6% to 19.4%.

The shipment of iPhone is more than 830 million in the first quarter increasing by 117% year-on-year, market share raised from 10.5% to 15.4%.

The shipment of Android is more than 5.2 million in the first quarter increasing by 800% year-on-year, market share raised sharply from 1.6% to 9.6%.

The shipment of Windows Mobile cell phones is more than 370 million in the first quarter, although the shipment is flat compared with last quarter, under the situation of cell phones’ shipments growing sharply, market share dropped from 10.2% to 6.8%, which fell nearly 4 percent.

Facing the current WM6.5 fight being inconclusive, under the condition of putting off the time of entering the market of Windows Phone7 which is seen the savior of Windows Mobile by Microsoft, it is impossible to compete with apples and Android for WM. In the face of the strong combination of iPhone + appstore、Android + Google market, Is Windows Mobile once the noble coming to the end?

Where is the way of Windows mobile phones?

So far, Microsoft can wait for WP7 to change the situation, Microsoft and apple joint together, although they both are the enemy. Facing the excesses of the Android, it is far more than single-handedly. Through the pressure on HTC by Microsoft, now the main enemy of the WM is Android, although Microsoft took a series of remedial measures, there is no guarantee on the market of Windows Mobile type. We believe that the value of WM cell phones is unavoidable. Owning the advantage of price, maybe these models have the opportunity to struggle.
