"On That Phone!"


Lately, my friends, my mother and I have this sort of game we play while out riding; the object of the game is to determine whether or not a 'crazy' or 'senseless' driver was indeed "on that [cell]phone" or not. It's quite amusing at times, especially when you swear that the driver is on their cellphone, making horrible driving decisions, and it turns out not to be true. Boy, the stories I could share, but I'm short on time due to procrastinating my packing duties.
The point of this write is to say that 'Reality Bites' as we try to maintain our composure enough on these pot-hole filled streets, and then to have to deal with someone stalling at a red light, or the one I loathe the most-driving out of their lane(s). There are so many times when you are out in the streets,on the freeways, by-ways and interstates, plagued by nonsense driving. A driver is steadily coming over in your lane while you are moving over and over and over. Almost causing a serious accident, and if anyhting had happened, what would that driver think-that they were not in the wrong? Most of them do. And how does being distracted while on a cellphone and trying to manuever a moving vehicle justify ignorance? I may be going a bit off point by being opinionated, but this act just burns my collar! I say to any official: Hurry up and make that law, banning cellphone usage while driving in the Motor City!

And to my readers, how many instances have you witnessed, or heard about involving people making reckless decisions, driving and 'On That Phone!'?

How To Find A Cheap iPhone - Where The Cheap iPhones Are Hiding



It really is simple to find a iPhone for cheap, as long as you know where to look and what you're looking for. Many stores offer the iPhone in stock so there should be no shortages. But where can you buy an available cheap iPhone with all the latest options.


In this article will provide you with a few tips to help you in your search.
1. Define what you need

The first thing you want to do is decide what it is exactly you want. Are you just looking for the basic iPhone, or do you have specific needs for the iPhone in mind? How memory and storage do you need? Do you want the iPhone 4gb, the iPhone 8gb or the iPhone 16gb? Do you need any iPhone accessories such as speakers, headphones or your car?

Answer these questions first, and it's even a good idea to go as far as pricing it out individually, as if you were to buy each item separately. That way it will be easy to spot the discounts.

2. Check out local ads & local sellers for a cheap iPhone

It is good to be on the lookout for special discount ads. You may just find a local Apple store offering a nice discount when you purchase a certain amount.

Don't forget to check the personal ads too. Just about every paper has a website online that you can search these ads for cheap iPhone for sale.

3. Review Craig's List for any cheap iPhones online

An easy to find cheap iPhones online is to do a search on Craigslist.com. You can specify what areas you want to search and what exactly you are looking for. Once you find someone selling cheap IPhones or at a reasonable price, don't be afraid to send an email and make your offer.

One caution is to beware of anyone offering free iPhones. Remember that nothing is free and so there must certainly be a catch. Your goal is to find where to buy an iPhone for cheap, not expose yourself to a potential scam for chance at a free iPhone.

4. Online auction sites are true gold for buying a cheap iPhone

By performing the first step above, you know exactly what you want and how much it would cost to buy what you want. At this point, go to your favorite auction site and do a search. Be sure to enter your specifics, as you may just find a nice bundle that has it all. Compare the price of the bundle at auction with the price you came up with to buy it all at retail. I bet you will find a great deal! That alone just saved you quite a bit of money.

Looking for a deeper discount? Then look for used iPhone systems too. It's a quick search change, and could mean another accessory or two at the same price you were willing to pay at your local Apple retail store.

Stay in touch - on the cheap



When the tough economy forces families to find ways to save money, the telephone bill can be one of the most vexing place to look for cost savings. Different rates, taxes, and fees make it difficult to shave costs while keeping in touch with grandma.


Recently, however, new Internet-based phone providers have emerged to offer cheaper and simpler bills. Not to be out-marketed by the latest technology, called VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, some traditional phone companies also are offering new plans. As a result, consumers who want to keep their landlines and also shop for lower prices have a good chance of finding what they're looking for.

Penny-pinching callers have long turned to Skype, a free application downloadable from www.skype.com that allows users to talk free of charge with other users around the world via the Internet. Callers need to be computer savvy enough to set up a membership, and the service works only when one's computer is online. But for anyone who makes regularly scheduled long distance calls to someone who could also sign onto Skype, the service can cut phone bills overnight.

Skype users may also use their credit cards to pay for dialing regular landline and mobile phones at a charge of around 2 cents a minute for domestic calls. But even Skype executives say the application is best as a supplement.

"Skype is not a replacement for your ordinary telephone," said Jennifer Caukin, the company's communications director.

Employing a similar concept is ooma, a device that plugs home phone systems directly into the Internet. On sale at www.ooma.com for $249.99, the sleek white box gives users 3,000 minutes of free local and domestic long distance calls per month. For $12.99 a month, the device offers other features, like message screening and call blocking. Unlike Skype, you don't need a computer to use ooma, just an Internet connection.

Vonage is another VoIP provider that hooks up to ordinary household phone systems. But Vonage functions more like a mini telephone company, offering 24-hour customer service and monthly billing plans ranging from $17.99 plus taxes for 500 minutes of local and domestic long distance calling a month to $39.99 plus taxes for an unlimited domestic calling plan and a host of features. Vonage's hardware is free for customers opting for the more expensive plans.

Of course, VoIP requires customers to pay for the Internet, so those costs are in a sense hidden when tallying up Skype, ooma, or Vonage's price tags. Skype and ooma customers don't pay state and federal taxes and surcharges, however.

Verizon's network depends on conventional telephone lines strung along poles on the street, infrastructure the company touts as more dependable than VoIP, whose service can fluctuate with Internet traffic and won't work in a blackout. Verizon charges $44.99, plus taxes, a month for its Freedom Value plan, which includes unlimited local and long distance calls in the United States, but charges fees for voice mail and other features. For $5 more, customers can also sign up for a yearlong contract that includes Internet service. Other deals bundle calling, Internet, and cable television. (Comcast is offering a similar deal, available at www.comcast.com for $19.99 a month for six months, with the price increasing to $44.95 afterward or $39.95 if customers bundle with Internet.)

"If you lose power, you have no phone service. That's no issue with Verizon," said spokesman Phil Santoro.

VoIP providers counter that while it's true that older phones are powered directly through traditional street lines, most people nowadays have cordless phones that shut down without electricity. They also suggest users purchase emergency backup batteries that run from $50 to hundreds of dollars at retail outlets like Best Buy and Staples to keep the service running even in a blackout situation.

Skype, the Web Phone Giant, Brings Cheap Calls to Cellular

Skype, the Internet calling service that has more than 400 million users around the world, is aggressively moving onto mobile phones.

The Luxembourg-based company, a division of eBay, plans to announce on Tuesday that it will make its free software available immediately for Apple’s iPhone and iPod Touch and, beginning in May, for various BlackBerry phones, made by Research in Motion.

Other companies have already made software for those phones that works with Skype, but it does not offer all of the service’s features.

As with Skype on the computer, users of Skype on mobile phones can make calls and send instant messages to other Skype users free, and they pay lower rates than the phone companies would charge when they use Skype to call landlines or other mobile phones.

This year, Skype announced versions of its software for Nokia phones and phones running Microsoft’s Windows Mobile and Google’s Android operating systems.

Apple will limit Skype’s use on the iPhone somewhat, allowing Skype calls to be made only when the device is connected to local Wi-Fi networks, and not allowing Skype calls over the data networks of its carrier partners like AT&T. Apple imposes the same restrictions on all voice applications in its App Store.

The idea of bringing Skype to mobile phones has always been viewed by cellular operators as potentially threatening. It opens up the possibility that people will use their data plans to make calls using Skype, instead of the more expensive and profitable voice minutes on the carriers’ cellular networks.

“The carriers are in the business of selling voice minutes. For a long time they saw products like Skype coming along and they were concerned,” said Ben Wood, director of Research at the London-based CCS Insight, a market research firm. “But it turned out a little bit different than they expected.”

Mr. Wood said many carriers had modified their views about so-called voice-over-Internet-protocol, or VoIP, services. In some cases, Skype has proved to be appealing to consumers and a competitive advantage for a carrier over its rivals.

Skype tested its service in London in the last two years with Hutchison 3, a British mobile network. It said it drew more customers to Hutchison 3 and increased its revenue for each user, since people were making calls on their cellphones using Skype that high calling rates would have discouraged otherwise.

Scott Durchslag, Skype’s chief operating officer, said he did not think the limitations on using Skype on the iPhone would be a big drawback for users, since Wi-Fi networks have become common.

However, he said he hoped Apple and AT&T would relax restrictions and let people make Skype calls anywhere they roamed. “We think these things should work on any device, any network, at any time,” he said.

iPhoneBuzz Review – iPhone 3G




I'm a first-time iPhone buyer, which may seem a bit strange for someone like me. Honestly the lack of 3G capabilities and 3rd party applications were a deal breaker for me. I loved the idea that was the iPhone, which is why I ended up purchasing an iPod touch and sticking with my current 3G phone. With those two major features added, I figured it was time to get my hands on one. I've been using it since Friday morning (yes, mine activated without issues first thing) and figured it was time I shared my thoughts with you, our loyal readers.

Looking at the phone it's just as sleek as my iPod Touch, though considerably thicker. At it's thickest point, it's actually larger than the original iPhone. While that may sound unattractive, Apple has smartly curved the entire back of the case, making it seem much slimmer than it actually is. The shape contours to my hand quite well, and the weight feels about perfect; not too heavy, not too light. The plastic case worries me a bit since it's likely to get scratched easily (though none yet), and does get a lot of smudges, however, it does look better than the original backing.

The first thing I did after walking out of the store (after letting half a dozen people in line fondle it) was make a few phone calls, all of which were crystal clear. All of my subsequent calls have been equally as clear.

As soon as I got home, I plugged my shiny new phone into my PC so it could sync. I had already browsed the App Store and chosen several new programs, so I kept myself busy as I waited for my music library to transfer to my iPhone. Some of the more useful apps I installed were the iTunes Remote, YPmobile, BoxOffice and AIM. There are plenty more to choose from, which is a good part of what sets the iPhone above the competition.


I've owned smartphones in the past, and downloaded applications, but there was never a centralized place to get these, and rarely did I ever find anything really useful that was free. Apple's App Store is simple to navigate, and even allows you to download programs straight to the iPhone from anywhere (unless it's over 10MB, then just tap into a Wi-Fi connection or sync it to your computer).

Since I've already been using my iPod Touch for some time, the iPhone's Safari browser wasn't anything new to me. However, it had only worked while tethered to a Wi-Fi connection, which wasn't always that handy. I'd love to tell you that the 3G speeds on my iPhone were great, but unfortunately I don't have 3G service in my area. In fact, most of the US is without 3G coverage, which is just disgusting. What's the point of releasing a 3G phone, when most of your customers can't take advantage of it? Luckily they are putting up new towers in my location this September which will enable 3G. Until then, I'm stuck with EDGE speeds, which are lackluster at best.

The lack of 3G coverage in most of the country brings up another sore spot. AT&T is asking an extra $10 a month for their unlimited data package. I totally understand the increase, as you're paying for the faster connection, and will thus likely use more data. I'm cool with that. However, when most of your customers don't have 3G coverage, why force everyone to dish out the extra cash? Bad form, AT&T.


While we're talking about disappointments, I'll go ahead and mention the rather dull camera which is leftover from the original 2.5G iPhone. This is an area that many people have asked for an improvement in, yet it was left untouched. A 2MP camera isn't anything to write home about, especially when there is no flash, and you can't zoom or shoot video. I don't use MMS much, but seriously, I thought every phone came with it, you'd think Apple would be able to add this to the iPhone's arsenal of features. The GPS is also a bit of a disappointment. It's not accurate enough for turn-by-turn directions, which I think many of us were hoping for. That's not to say that it doesn't still have its uses. I really enjoy it being able to geotag my photos and search within Google Maps without needing to enter my location.

So far the battery life hasn't been too bad. I've only charged it twice (though it does pick up a bit of a charge while connected to the stereo in my car, so lets say two and a half charges) since Friday, and once was the initial charge shortly after I got it. A few things to consider with this is that I'm not the heaviest talker (I rarely use 200 of my anytime minutes a month) and I am still stuck on EDGE speeds.

So in all, I'm pleased with my new toy. Like any other product, there is room for improvement, but some of the largest shortcomings from the original iPhone have been addressed. Would I recommend the iPhone to others? Yes and no. If you don't own and iPhone and have thought about buying one for a little while, I'd definitely take the plunge and buy the iPhone 3G. However, if you already own the original, you very well may just want to stick with what you have. You also get the 2.0 software update which allows you to have the same 3rd party apps, which is one of the major things that sets it apart from the rest of the pack. There's also a good chance that you can't even get 3G service (in the US) unless you're in a major city, so you may as well stick with your trusty 2.5G device.




IPHONE 3 G


How it works.

iPhone 3G uses a technology protocol called HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) to download data fast over UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) networks. Email attachments and web pages load twice as fast on 3G networks as on 2G EDGE networks.1 And since iPhone 3G seamlessly switches between EDGE, faster 3G, and even faster Wi-Fi, you always get the best speeds possible.

Talk and browse. At the same time.

iPhone already gives you mobile multitasking. But 3G technology lets you multitask in more places — without connecting via Wi-Fi. Since 3G networks enable simultaneous data and voice, you can talk on the phone while surfing the web, checking email, or using Maps. All from your 3G cellular network.

Go anywhere.

iPhone 3G meets worldwide standards for cellular communications, so you can make calls and surf the web from practically anywhere on the planet. And if you’re in an area without a 3G network, iPhone connects you via GSM for calls and EDGE for data.

More wireless. Less space.

iPhone 3G delivers UMTS, HSDPA, GSM, Wi-Fi, EDGE, GPS, and Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR in one compact device — using only two antennas. Clever iPhone engineering integrates those antennas into a few unexpected places: the metal ring around the camera, the audio jack, the metal screen bezel, and the iPhone circuitry itself. And intelligent iPhone power management technology gives you up to 5 hours of talk time over 3G networks.2 That’s some of the best in the business.

  1. Testing conducted by Apple in May and June 2008 using preproduction 3G/EDGE-capable iPhone units and software and currently shipping EDGE-capable iPhone units and software. Testing was conducted by browsing to http://www.lonelyplanet.com and measured uncached page load performance. All settings were default except: Call Forwarding was turned on; the Wi-Fi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off. Wi-Fi was enabled but not associated with a network. Throughput depends on the cellular network, location, signal strength, 3G/EDGE connectivity, feature configuration, usage, the Internet, and many other factors. Throughput tests are conducted using specific iPhone units; actual results may vary.
  2. Battery claims are dependent on network configuration and many other factors; actual results may vary.
