Cells Planet - All about cell phones

Samsung announced new cell phone SGH-I900 with a given name Omnia. So, what interesting this device have? Oh, I’ll give you an answer. First of all, this is first Samsung cell phone with Windows Mobile OS. Second, it have a “widgets”. Third, it have compact and stylish design with metal case. Fourth, it have a built-in 5 Mpx camera with image stabilizer. Well, now let’s look further.

First, about design. The Samsung SGH-I900 Omnia fits in my hand like I was born with it. This metal case, this big touch screen, this buttons really makes me feel good. This cell phone have so slim design - it’s just 12.5 mm thin! Widgets. This is a revolution. This is a first time I can see what I want on the screen - I make a decison how main screen will look like - like a big multi-functional watch, like an organizer (diary), or like my music collection. It’s all about the owner opinion. You can see two same phones and they won’t be the same!

Next I want to say about camera. 5 Mpx is a ordinary camera for now. But where you can see built-in camera with touch focus? Touch focus means you can make your camera focus on any object in the scene of shot - just touch the screen in the area you want to focus in (face, building, tree etc.) - and phone camera will focus on it. I can’t remember cell phone with camera with function like this. And, yes, photos is great and can be printed on 10×15 sheet without any troubles. And now, like a “tradition”, some functions of SGH-I900 Omnia:

Display - 3,2?, 262k colours, 240?400 resolution, touch screen.
Camera - 5 Mpx, auto-focus, touch focus, image stabilizer, flash
Memory - 256 Mb ROM + 8 Gb or 16 Gb internal flash memory.
Additional: Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, unlimited phone book (demand on free space), GPS with A-GPS, FM with RDS, TV-Out, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP and many more…

Yes, Samsung SGH-I900 Omnia can be a good competitor to you-know-what-device (of course, Apple iPhone 3G ). And with such price - Omnia really can win.

Greets to you from Ultra series of Samsung! This is ultra new cell phone by Samsung - SGH-U900. This phone is called “U900 Soul”. So, why “Soul”? It’s simple - this cell phone was made to make you feel the difference between it and other mobile phones. And ”SOUL” means “The Spirit Of ULtra”, what means this cell phone is main in Samsung Ultra series. And also it have unique touch panel under main display - it’s also display, but with sensor functions. Look at photos and you’ll understand.

And that’s so great. That’s enough just small touching for it to work. When I use it, it’s never work bad or wrong. Just all Samsung Ultra series cell phones, SGH-U900 Soul also have couple of non-standart functions. For example:
“Vivid Message” - that function makes your SMS alive! It have a dictionary within with a pictures to words… It’s difficult to explain but perfect to understand (for example, if I’ll write “I love you”, in a background heart will appear).
“Living World” - this is pretty standart, but so attractive. In a waiting mode, on a background there’s a picture of main place in your country - in US it’s Statue of Liberty, in UK it’s Big Ben, in Paris it’s Eiffel’s Tower. When the day - it showing sunlight, in the night - there’s a shining stars. When you get a message - there’s plane flying around. When you get a missing call - there’s a clouds. It’s simple, but so usefull and pretty!

And main functions now:

Display - 2,2″, 16kk colours, 240×320 resolution.
Camera - 5 Mpx, auto-focus, Face Detection
Memory - about 60 Mb internal + microSD slot
Additional: FM with RDS, touching pannel, Java, GPRS, HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0, Google Search, videocall and many more.

Saying about this phone makes me feel great. Samsung SGH-U900 Soul is really desired calling like that. It really makes me love GSM cells

Well, you can buy cell phone in the shop, you can buy cell phone on the streets (not so legal, I think) and of course, you can buy cell phone online. It’s quite simple and there are many of online shops where you can do it. You can even buy mobile phone sitting home! You should only to have a credit card or Internet-money (such as WebMoney, for example). Online shops in US have a delivery or shipping, and most of them are completely free!

Also I must say that you can get cell phone for free! You should just pay for contract with company providing cell connection (such as Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile etc.). It’s simple, and it makes your money safe!

And, of course, you can buy unlocked cell phone, but I think it can be done only at Internet-marketplace, such as eBay and others. And you don’t must go far - look here, there must be links to different I-shops.

You know, it’s not easy to choose from cell phone plans. If you want to check how works one or another, how it costs etc, you should spend many time. It’s all because different companies uses different cell technologies - for example, Verizon is using CDMA and T-Mobile using GSM. It’s different technologies so different cell phones won’t be working in one and another at the same time.

Because of that, most effective way to choose cell phone service is using massive owner surveys - massive enough that you would still have hundrends of respondents in the same areas - enough so that you’d be able to collect a middle of opinions to decide which wireless cellulars have the best network coverage, the less number of dropped calls and the most likely to you customer service.

Maybe it can be usefull to have a friends in these companies - Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint, but real results you can see only by your eyes. Well, good luck in this really difficult doing

If you want use separate cell plans or services (in other words, if you want use different SIM-cards), you should find unlocked cell phone. It’s all because many companies are locking cell phones so you can’t use it with another company - quietly smart, isn’t it? That’s why unlocked cellular phones is so popular for now. Especially it’s about unlocked iPhone and unlocked iPhone 3G - Apple is locking their phones so you can’t use another SIM-card and even can’t use it in different country. So the best way to be “free” from companies providing cellular connection is to find and buy unlocked cell phone.

And, some companies have their’s own models of cell phones and locking they - just because of popularity. So, and if I want any model made for one company and I’m using another and like it - I have to find unlocked phone (this model I want). So, if you searching to unlocked cell phone or how to unlock your’s - look around and maybe you’re the Lucky

Sony Ericsson with Walkman will never stop. And now, let me introduce you to new slider cell phone named W760. It’s a phone with many functions, impressive design and even built-in GPS. You may want ask me: “Why GPS needed in cell phone?”, and I’ll give you the answer: first, it’s very usefull; second, it have map of every city around the world (cell phone with Google Maps) and third, it have a “Tracker” - special function, “pocket trainer”, which measures your speed, your distance and other. This cell phone can be in three different colors - black, silver and red.

To determine what additional accessories you may need, you should evaluate how you will use the phone. Many users find a case useful to protect the phone or clip it to a belt. If you use the phone extensively, you may find a vehicle power adapter useful to recharge the phone when you are away from your desk.

If the phone is passed from one person to another, it may be helpful to have a second charger available in the office in case someone forgets the charger when handing off the phone.

For someone it is very difficult to chose the equipment which will fit cellular phone. So when you buy eqipment for your phone be careful or this equipment will be unuseful.
