Palm Pre 2 Deals

April 7th, 2011 | Mobile Phone Reviews, Palm, Touchscreen

After checking out various mobile phone reviews, you will probably want to examine the deals available on the handset you have set your eyes on.  Each mobile phone network offers something different – some may offer free gifts to entice you into taking out a contract with them, while others will provide unlimited text messaging.  One mobile device that is currently available through a number of providers in various tariffs is the Palm Pre 2.

Orange currently has a 24 month contract at £20.42 per month.  With this package you get the handset free of charge, 200 minutes of free talk time as well as unlimited text messaging. While this is a great deal, some people will understandably be put off by being tied to a contract for two years.  If this is the case for you, then perhaps the 18 month Orange contract would suit you better.  With this deal you again get the handset free of charge, plus you get 400 minutes of free talk time and unlimited text messaging.  However, the monthly tariff is higher at £30.64 per month.

Mobile phone reviews are a great place to start when you are considering a new Palm Pre 2. If you are unsure of what is available on the market then reviews can help you make an informed decision as to which model and contract will suit you the best.

March 29th, 2011 | Camera Phones, LG, Mobile Technology, Touchscreen

LG mobile phones have many benefits for the user and the latest news is that certain models are now compatible with YouTube, so that content on the site can be streamed to the phone and videos that are recorded on the phones can be uploaded directly to the site.  The Optimus 3D and the Optimus Tablet are the models that have this capability. 

The 3D option is proving to be very attractive to those who are using mobile phones for videos and games and these models ensure that you can access this type of content easily.

3D technology is no longer the reserve of Hollywood studios.  The Optimus 3D means that 3D video can be created anywhere and shared with friends via the YouTube site. 

This particular handset has no need for users to wear special glasses to view 3D content and will be available across Europe during the early part of 2011.

Android vs. iPhone

March 22nd, 2011 | Google Android, iPhone, Mobile Operating Systems, Mobile Technology

The battle of the smartphone has reached the operating systems.  If you own a smartphone, you already know that they are much smarter than an average phone.  They have not yet gotten so simple that a baby can operate one, but they have greatly improved the use of mobile phones as computers.  They are also great for multitasking and provide fast internet access.  The latest smartphones are like miniature, hand-held computers.

In the world of smartphones, there is a battle of Android vs. iPhone handsets.  Sales of Apple’s iPhone have dominated the market since it was first produced.  However, for the first time in the last quarter of 2010, sales of Android phones exceeded the iPhone.  This trend looks like it will continue in 2011.

One of the reasons Adroids are winning the Android vs. iPhone battle is that the Android smartphone works on an open platform.  It can be easily customised for a variety of different uses.

Phones with Android technology are likely to hold the upper hand in the Android vs. iPhone war into 2011 because the Android tablet I was released at a reasonable price with a faster operating system.   Customer loyalty to the brand, products and services that offer more bang for their buck, and popular apps that are easy to customise are likely to sway the consumer market in favour of Android phones.

Broadband Comparison: Switching Providers

March 18th, 2011 | Broadband, Mobile Broadband

Broadband Packages

Broadband internet access is normally sold as part of a package deal.  Internet service providers (ISPs) have deals, packages and discount offers throughout the year, in some cases even giving away free laptops as part of the package deal.  They do this because broadband packages are highly competitive as consumers are becoming increasingly savvy and demanding.

Broadband Comparison Checks

If you are unhappy with your current provider or believe you are being overcharged, you can start checking alternative providers by doing a postcode and telephone check.  Broadband providers do not operate uniformly throughout the UK, but offer different services in different areas.  In some areas, especially in rural or remote communities, there may only be mobile broadband access available.

You can start your broadband comparison by giving alternative providers your postcode and telephone number.  Frequently, you can enter them yourself on the providers’ websites to check availability in your area.  If there is a service in your area, continue by checking package deal prices and the total set of included products and services.  You may consider it worthwhile to choose a faster broadband speed but fewer add-on options or the other way around, depending on your precise requirements.

Checking Terms and Conditions

Before you decide to switch broadband providers, do check that you are not breaking the contract with your existing provider.  There may be the ability to opt out early by giving prior notice.  Alternatively, you may have to wait for the contract to run out before switching.

Cheap Mobile Phones – finding the right deal

March 14th, 2011 | Mobile Phone Reviews

Many of us live on a budget, so mobile phones may be out of our price range.  Luckily, there are many cheap mobile phones in the UK if you know where to look. 

The first place to find cheap mobile phones is the refurbishing industry.  They sell refurbished mobile phones and ensure that they are unlocked.  They will also provide a SIM card to activate the phone.  You can then go to a phone network company to find a service contract.  This is often the cheapest way to get a mobile phone.

You will find that cheap mobile phones are available directly from retailers when you sign up for a contract.  You can often get a free phone for signing a contract with them. 

You also have the option of choosing a cheap mobile phone with a talk time option; after your minutes have been used, you have to buy more talk time.  With this option, you can have a cheap mobile phone without being locked into a contract that you may not be able to afford.

You will have a lot of options while you search for a cheap mobile phone.  However, the best ways to get a cheap mobile phone are buying a refurbished phone or getting a free phone.  If you have a contract with a store already, you may be offered a free phone every two years.  The offer will depend on the company you are with and how long you have had the contract.  Cheap mobile phones can be found if you know where to look.
