a review of the LG Ally which is a new phone from LG LG might be a bit late to the game, but its new Android 2.1 powered Ally for Verizon is a nice piece of kit. It features a good touchscreen display, a very nice keyboard, and some genuinely nice LG developed widgets and UI tweaks. With speed like that of Motorola’s DROID, the Ally is looking pretty good
With so many offers of Free Cell phones these days it is hard to make a choice. All the major phone providers have used this as a very successful marketing tool. They feel that once they can get you as a customer that you will stay forever. Here are some of the requirements that go with these free cell phone offers.
1. Contract Period – Most companies require you to sign a minimum contract of 2 years and if you want to end your contract early you will have pay a $200-$300 cancellation penalty. One thing to keep in mind is that, any changes you make require’s the contract period to start over. If you decide after 6 Months to make a change to your rate plan decide you want a different phone, your contract will start over & you will have locked yourself in for another 2 years.
2. Phone Features – Cell phones these days are starting to rival lap tops. The capabilities are changing and becoming more advanced everyday. From taking digital pictures, Bluetooth connectivity, streaming video, browsing the web, sending and receive email, to Integrated Radio. The cell phones of today are much more sophisticated than they were even 1 year ago. When a new phone model becomes available the older models becomes obsolete. These are generally the models that you will see “Free” with new line activation. There is nothing wrong with these models, they are just “yesterday’s” technology. (Keeping mind that yesterday’s technology is usually just a few months old).
3. You might want to start your search on the internet as the phone companies tend to put their best deals online. Sometimes you do have to pay for the phone but you will be eligible for a rebate equal to the cost. They usually will also throw in free shipping and no activation fees.

It is easier to choose a lover, these days. Joking apart, choosing a cellular phone is tough. With so many models and features, not to mention an offer here and a discount there-the task is positively Herculean. Mobiles will come and go; a phone will be the toast of a season, another will take its place. Before you get confused figuring out the best, let us get the cat out of the bag. Best buy cell phones do not exist. Each mobile is as good as it gets. The best is “What You Decide”, i.e., what best suits your needs and budget.
However, some simple pointers can make your hunt for best buy cell phones a lot easier. Finding out about a mobile’s Signal Reception can be a bit like convincing Woody Allen to be present at an Oscar night. Nevertheless, user reports and a bit of research can lead one to the mobile with the most consistent signal reports. A cellular phone without Ring Tones is like Jennifer Lopez in a nun’s habit. Again, only with some mobiles you can get new ones free. Size, does matter and Weight, too. A small cellular phone that snugly fits into your pocket is definitely a plus, if you travel a lot. A mobile with a Speakerphone is a good safety measure while driving. A good Voice Memo is another feature that you can keep in mind while you go shopping.
Best buy cell phones do not exist. Nevertheless, some general characteristics are best thought upon before buying. Cellular phone Band Support can be an important criterion if you are one of those sorts that are gallivanting around the world. A tri-band mobile picks up 900 MHz (covering Europe), 1800 MHz (Asia) and 1900 MHz (The United States) and is technically functional, all around the globe. The Design of your phone, once again can be a teaser. There are two options. The flip-open (remember Star-Trek?), clamshell- style mobile and the standard non-flip ones. You can have difficulty with flip-phones if you are prone to hold your mobile with one hand because the cover may be heavier than the base. If you go for the non-flip one then it is important to check that your mobile has the automatic key guard. The final say, should obviously include whether you are comfortable handling it.
Keypad, battery life, screen, display contrast and backlight strength are some other important aspects of the best buy cell phones. If you need to check the manual for Keypad functions then you can think again. The Keypad layout and menu functions should be easy to grasp; protruding buttons are handy on the long run. The average Battery Life of most mobiles comprises three hours of talk time and two to six days on stand by. A cellular phone that has to search for its signal, constantly, finishes its battery faster. Surfing the web, sending and receiving text messages or using an organizer requires a screen. Generally, a mobile Screen accommodating six lines of text is considered more than enough. Similarly, Display Contrast and Backlight Strength afford easy view ability and if they can be set according to individual requirement, then nothing like it.
Do you remember the days when a cell phone was just a cell phone? You pulled it out of your pocket to make a call and that was about it. Now your cell phone can take pictures, send text messages, play music, become your personal organizer, play games, and even function as your GPS.
I’m not talking about the GPS chip embedded into all current cell phones. That GPS is only present to help emergency crews locate you in the event of an emergency (the same way that your landline will give away your location). I’m talking about new Smart Phones that actually integrate with new GPS devices, allowing you to receive voice guided driving directions, trip planning, toll road avoidance, on the fly off-course rerouting, and now even real time-traffic information that will allow you to reroute to avoid heavy congestion. And for the cell phone purist, these new phones can even make and receive phone calls!
And just like other new GPS systems you’ll have access to a huge database with points of interest. Need to know the nearest gas station? No problem. You can also find the nearest restaurant, movie theatre, and even a parking garage – which is especially helpful if you’re in an unfamiliar city. And if you happen to be somewhere where you don’t have a detailed map – no problem – this isn’t just a GPS unit, it’s a Smart Phone so you can download the map you need. The new SmartPhone GPS devices can easily replace your in-car navigation system.
Probably the most widely used device for making your Smart Phone an advanced GPS is the TomTom Mobile 5. It’s currently only available for a limited number of Smart Phones (check TomTom’s site for a list of supported phones). But for the phones it works with you’ll get an impressive list of features and you’ll even be able to change the voice of the navigator to something more entertaining (Darth Vader, anyone?). If you happen to live in the UK, you can also get access to real time safety camera information.
This is, of course, just the next step in the ever evolving cell phone. Soon new cell phones will have GPS navigation technology built in and probably more features you’ve never even thought to ask for.
