Five Devices I Would Use on a Smartphone

Five Devices I Would Use on a Smartphone

By Isaac Mckinney







There are a number of devices I would like to see put on future smart phones. Right now I think that Smartphone development is getting stale. Cell phone manufactures need to make more hardware that everybody can use in their daily lives. Here are five things I would like to see in the near future:
1. 2 or 3x optical zoom cameras
I saw something really small crawling on the glass of my saltwater aquarium and wanted to take a picture and enlarge it. I grabbed my cell phone and snapped the picture. Nothing showed up. I used digital zoom to see if I can pick up something but still couldn't see it through my phone. If my eyes could see it then I should be able to see it on my phone.
2. Infra red sensor
You could use your phone to see in areas of very low lighting. For example: under the hood of your car at night or when the power goes out and you need to find you flashlight or candles.
3. Digital TV tuner
Phones are coming with 4" screens now so why not put a digital tuner in it. This is a win/win situation for TV networks and users. If you're traveling you can watch TV on your phone without having to subscribe to movie rental sites for downloads.
4. Hart rate detector
A jogger can use this tool when they are out and about. Maybe you can also check your blood pressure with just using the pulse in your thumb. These options would be of great use but I doubt the medical industry would let this out without paying outrageous prices.
5. MRI
Ok this would never happen but wouldn't it be awesome. If you have a pet you can get a cross section image of its tissue snap a picture and share with friends.

Tiered Data Plans - Worst Idea in the World of Wireless

Tiered Data Plans - Worst Idea in the World of Wireless

By Isaac Mckinney







Tiered data plans could be the worst event to happen to mobile internet in the modern world. It is a step backwards in the development of communications technology, a way of holding back progress for the sake of saving money rather than making money. The growth of wireless communication may be stumped if this surge is the way of the future.
By now most people know that At&t has established a tiered data option in hopes to relieve some of the stress that they are experience with their mobile service to date. It would have just been smarter to upgrade first before they come out with high capacity data devices. The current options that At&t provides are as follow: $10 for 200MB with a $10 charge for each additional 200MB and a $25 for 2GB with $15 charge for each additional 2GB every time you go over.
Verizon is scheduled to copy At&t with their data options when they roll out their new 4G LTE data networks sometime next year; their prices will most likely be the same. As of yet there is no word of sprint or T-mobile making the same move and I really hope they don't.
The 2GB option may not be that big of a problem but the 200MB plan is a huge risk to your financed if you don't keep a close eye on your data usages. Just a few days ago I tethered my data to my PC when my cable internet was disconnected for some reason. When I hooked up my phone I then streamed two videos from a Social media web site totaling to about 15 minutes of video. I then looked at my data usage stats and saw I already used 50MB of date; that is one quarter of the total allowance of 200MB plan in just 15 minutes of video. I don't have a tiered data plan with my service provider but if I had, then I would be extremely disappointed.
There wouldn't be any point in purchasing a Smartphone of any kind with limited data options. Smartphone's are designed for user to have access to whatever information they need or be able to send photos and videos on the go. You service won't be cut off and you still have the freedom to use your internet as indiscriminately as you like but you may grudgingly pay your bills as you go on with your life.
It's unknown how this would affect the world of prepaid subscribers. Prepaid companies offer data plans substantially lower than their contract competitors. Straight talk, owned by Track phone and sponsored by Wal-Mart uses Verizon's network while offering unlimited everything plans as low as $45/mo. As of yet there are no prepaid phones that are able to use their new 4G system. At&t also has a prepaid unlimited plan at $50/mo. Both carriers have prepaid smart phones costing $100 or more.

T-mobile may be a small carrier here in the US but they have plenty of potential to grow and improve. T-mobile provides Great options that satisfy all customer demographics. Here are five aspects that everyone should know about:
1. T-mobile provides exciting products.
T-mobile was the first carrier to launch an android phone, which gave Google its piece of the wireless market today. Additionally T-mobile continues to generate rave with the release of the HTC HD2 which was the first phone with a 1GHz processor.
2. T-mobile has no down payments.
T-mobile has done away with requiring customers to provide a down payment when they apply for service. This is a great relief to people with sub-prime credit.
3. Flex-pay
T-mobile provides an option Called flex-pay for customer with sub-prime credit. There are two types of flex-pay: Flex-pay contract is like prepaid with a contract. It requires you to pay your bill up front but you are still in a two year contract. The benefits are that flex-pay customers are automatically exempt from activation fees. The more phones you purchase the greater your savings are. Flex-pay no-contract is basically a prepaid account with the same services plans as their contract but cheaper prices. After paying your bill on time for two years you may qualify for an upgrade to a contract service. This is a great way to build your credit.
4. T-mobile has higher approval rates
T-mobile approves more customers with both their regular contract and flex-pay contracts. Many customers have walked out of stores with a new phone when they initially thought they weren't going to get approved.

Five Reasons to Buy a BlackBerry

By Isaac Mckinney







The BlackBerry, made by Research in Motion (RIM) headquartered in Waterloo Ontario, Canada and with offices in North America, Asia and Europe, is the leading Smartphone in the market and is currently being used by millions of people worldwide. RIM released their fist BlackBerry in the year 1999 and is still driving strong sales performance today. The BlackBerry provides high-tech quality hardware and software that sets the standard for the cell phone industry. Just about everybody has hers of or wants to purchase a BlackBerry. To decide if a BlackBerry is right for you here are five reasons why you should buy a BlackBerry.
Business
The BlackBerry is excellent for corporate, small business and even professional use. Business can keep track and update employee work reports just by synchronizing the phone with their company's servers. A professional can use the BlackBerry to keep track of appointments, schedules and important information. RIM provides an exclusive instant messaging service that only works between other BlackBerry devices.
Corporate e-mail and exchange services
The BlackBerry can link with your company's internal email account, Microsoft exchange or you can use the BlackBerry Corporate e-mail service
Functionality and quality
The OS performance is clearly stable and response to user actions seems flawless. The voice dialing performance was accurate to every spoken command to the letter. The phone links clearly to Bluetooth headsets with quality audio and seeming no delay or lag.
Security
New features on the BlackBerry allow users to look their phone or retrieve information when the phone is lost or stolen.
Affordability
These days BlackBerry's are far more affordable than they where several years ago. Note that many of the do require the purchase of a data plan along with your talk time. Without the data plan you really aren't using the feature of your Smartphone.

How to Increase Cell Phone Battery Performance

How to Increase Cell Phone Battery Performance

By Isaac Mckinney







With current cell phone technology your cell phone battery life can be drained far sooner than what the manufacture may suggest. Large touch screens, fast processor and numerous subsystems running in the background together team up to drain down your battery. You can either deal with recharging the battery every chance you get or take some steps to reduce the battery consumption in your phone.
Battery Management
Go into your cell phones settings and find the Battery manager option. This option gives you the ability to set your phones settings to adjust for either high performance or energy saving mode. The options and wording may vary with different manufactures but the results are similar. The Battery Manager is a function that can shut down devices and apps that are not currently in use so that energy consumption is reduced.
Manual Battery Management
There are several manual steps a user can take to save battery life on a cell phone. Manual battery management is permanent in a way that it doesn't rely on whether or not if your phone is active or on standby. Once the options are changed manually they can only be returned to previously settings manually. Here are a few steps to manually control battery management.
Turn down screen brightness
Go into your settings and turn down the brightness of your LCD screen to a level that's comfortable to you. The lower the level then the more energy you save.
Screen Time Out
Change your screen time out setting to its lowest amount of time. This way your screen will shut off as soon as you stop using your phone.
Turn off Wi-Fi
Most of the time you're not using your Wi-Fi feature so why leave it running? Turning off your Wi-Fi will save you energy that's normally just being wasted. You can always turn it back on if you need it.
Turn off Bluetooth
If you're not using a Bluetooth head set then this is another waist of energy. These types of wireless features are constantly running in the background even though you may not be aware of them being on.

How to Get a Cell Phone Contract With Bad Credit

How to Get a Cell Phone Contract With Bad Credit

By Isaac Mckinney







As a former employee of a cell phone carrier I found that many consumers are skeptical of purchasing a cell phone due to their undesirable credit history. They often believe that prepaid is their only option but they would prefer a contract provider. Many people don't realized that even with subprime credit they may still be eligible for a mobile phone contract. 80% of the customers with the misconception that they can't get a contract where often surprised when they received approval for a cell phone plan. If you have bad credit and prefer better quality cell phones over prepaid then here are a few steps you can take to get a contract phone
Pay a down payment
Many customers with bad credit may be asked to pay a down on their contract. The price can range from $50 to $400 depending on the carrier. You get the money back with interest after waiting two years. Go through the application process to find out what you qualify for. If your down payment requirement is at the low end then go for it but if it's at the high end then move on.
Apply with various carriers
If you're preferred cell phone carrier is charging you a very high down payment then apply at another company. Some carriers pick up customers that their competitors may reject. Its amazing how one carrier may classify you as a high risk but another may consider you to be a prime client.
Go with credit lenient companies
Not all cell phone companies use the same process for credit checks. Each company have different standards and requirements than there competitors. It's been my experience that Sprint and T-mobile usually provide great deals for customers with bad credit.
Sprint's credit requirements are the lowest of the major US carriers. Many customers who were rejected by other carriers almost always get a contract with sprint. Usually they ask for a $50 down payment but may be up to $150. Sprint has some of the lowest priced service plans in the nation that helps to keep monthly bills to a minimum.
T-mobile is also a good choice for customers with low credit scores. In addition to having low credit requirements, T-mobile takes it a step further by vanquishing down payment and providing account options form customers for subprime customers. The first of two options is called the even more plan. In this plan the customer still has the ability to purchase phones at a discount price but they have to pay the first month's bill up front. Activation fees are automatically waved, saving you a large sum of money if you purchased more than one phone. The second option is the even more plus plan. This option is a no contract plan. You have to pay full price for the phones but the monthly fees are cheaper than the even more plan. After a year of timely payments on the even more plus plan T-mobile will review your account to determine if you're eligible to upgrade to a contract plan.

Free Cell Phones - Online Wireless Dealer Stores

Free Cell Phones - Online Wireless Dealer Stores

By Isaac Mckinney







Getting a free cell phone is more realistic than any person may think it is. Normally when a person hears that something is free they may be filled with doubt. Free items often come with some kind of gimmick or catch and sometimes break the law. You won't find prices that low in any brick & motor dealer store unless the phone is an old or low end model. There are actual dealer stores that have at least 90% of their cell phone inventory priced at $0.00, weather if it's a regular phone device or a Smartphone data device. The only place you can get a large selection free cell phones with the purchase of a new contract is on the internet. There is no surveying involved and you don't have to purchase anything you don't really want to buy in order to get your free cell phone.
Typically, cell phones are considered to be priced between $300 and $5oo but with a contract you will normally pay $50 to $200 for a cell phone. This works because the commission the dealer store gets for the contract sale is more than enough to make up for the phone price discount. Dealer stores on the internet have it even better. Everyone knows by now that internet stores provide much lower cost overhead than a brick & mortar store, allowing the company to offer lower prices on their products. Internet dealer stores such as TMI-warless, Wirefly and LetsTalk offer much of their inventory for free with the purchase of a new two year contract form all of the United States to cell phone carriers.
Here is a typical breakdown of the purchasing process on one of these web sites:
· Log on to one of these sites, whether if it's TMI-wireless, Wirefly or LetsTalk


· Pick your favorite carrier


· Look for the phone you would like to purchase


· The condition for a free cell phone is contingent upon signing up for a new two year contract or renewing your contract with an upgrade only


· You can purchase a phone without a contract at full cost of the product


· There are no rebates involved


· Next the web site will offer you all the same contract plan options and fees that normally come with the carrier you selected


· For the most part ground shipping is free


· They do offer faster shipping methods with a charge


· In the next step you will have to fill out the required application for service


· You will need to enter your credit card information for identification purposes


· As long as you don't violate any of the terms of service or agreements your card will not be charged
At the end of your transaction you will be able to review all entered information before finalizing you purchase. The company will let you know if you have been approved within 48 and ship your product with the option you selected. Make sure you read all terms of use prior to making a purchase.

iPhone 4 Or Android? - Smartphone Superiority

iPhone 4 Or Android? - Smartphone Superiority

By Isaac Mckinney







Google and Apple have been releasing some amazing new technology in their new devices as they Battle to be the best smartphone in the market. Note that the iPhone was launched one year before the first android phone. Currently Apple has a head start with a 27% share on the smartphone market as appose to Android's nine percent share. Does that absolutely prove that Apple's iPhone are better than Google's android phones? Don't judge so fast.
iPhone 4 is currently exclusively sold by At&t, though this may change in the future. Apple is capable of generating a rave of fans that isn't seen with any other manufactures products. As a result people wait in long lines on launch day in hopes to be able to receive or preorder an iPhone. Apple generally has a solid core of loyal fans and users.
Goggle's Android powered phones are picking up pace in the smart phone market and are accelerating in sales growth quarter by quarter. Google's leverage is that they have more saturation of phones being manufactured by many different companies and have a presence in every major US carrier. A Perfect example is the Samsung Galaxy S which has a variation in four major US carriers plus in some European and Asian countries as well.
A new Android phone is launched every three to six months by different manufactures and with improved specification from their previous generations. This fast paced life cycle keeps Android ahead of the curve in technology and future upgrades.
Android has the potential to become the superior smartphone but iPhone market share is still big enough to stand ground. It has been un-officially announced that Verizon will carry the iPhone early next year. Because phone can get apps, including windows mobile, BlackBerry and some prepaid phones, both Apple and Google risk getting stale if they can't bring something brand new to the table in future generation devices. Google needs a game changer while Apple is tapping into a deeper well of potential customers. There is a need for more open source apps that are useful to daily life. Look into adding more fun by including some new hardware to use in connection with new apps. Maybe a heart rate sensor for joggers or a 3x optical zoom if it's at all possible.

Compare the Samsung Vibrant With the Samsung Epic

Compare the Samsung Vibrant With the Samsung Epic

By Isaac Mckinney







The Samsung Galaxy S is Samsungs latest release of Android powered devices. Every major US carrier received their own version of the Galaxy S Smartphone. T-mobile's Samsung Vibrant and Sprint's Samsung Epic are both variants of the Samsung Galaxy S series Smartphone. Both these phones come with the same core features such as the Android 2.1 operating system, the super AMOLED 4" screen, HD video playback and the 1GHz Hummingbird processor. There are however, several unique specifications that may help a consumer make a decision on which carrier to go with.
Samsung Epic
Sprint's Epic comes with a slide out full QWERTY keyboard. This is a useful advantage because not everyone can get use to the sensitivity of a touch screen. The keyboard is quite large but the keys are large and spaced apart from each other for easier use.
The Epic has a front side camera for video conferencing. Very few Smartphone devices have this feature but it's something to take note of. Video conferencing can be use for live demonstrations over your phone or a face to face business conversation.
The Epic is yet another phone capable of using Sprints 4G data network. You will experience fast download speed more suitable for video streaming that what must other Smartphone devices are capable of today.
The Samsung Epic can act as a Wi-Fi access point that can support up to five devices. What does the mean? You can use your phone as an Internet router without going through the trouble of finding and installing tethering software.
Samsung Vibrant
T-mobiles Vibrant body design remains relatively untouched from the original Galaxy S device. The phone has a thin, sleek and sexy appearance and to it that makes you want to have it just solely on the way it looks.
At 0.39 inches thick the Vibrant is one of the thinnest versions of the Galaxy S devices. Its lightweight and thin design makes it easy to slip right in your pocket.
The Vibrant will excusably come with a full version of James Carmon's "Avatar" and a special edition of The SIM 3. If you never played The SIMs it is highly recommended. These multimedia features will provide you with many hours of fun activity while you are experience down time such as waiting on a doctor's appointment or traveling but not driving.
Conclusion
The Epic is centered on Data services and provides an excellent high speed connections and the ability to share that connection with other devices. The phone can be use as a backup or a replacement to your home's internet service provider or where ever else you may be.
The Vibrant has a thin lightweight but sturdy structure with a more attractive appearance of all the other Galaxy S variants. The phone is multimedia system providing you with a variety of entertainment features that can keep you occupied for hours

T-mobile is adding locations

As mentioned in Phonedog.com, T-mobile has partnered up with Target to offer their phones and other products at over 840 Target locations. The web site also mentioned that one of the problems faced with this partnership is that the employees at all other authorized T-mobile dealers are not properly trained. As a former employee of T-mobile I would have to agree but it’s not the fault of T-mobile or the dealer store. It’s the employees who choose not to care.




I was a T-mobile reprehensive sent to stores such as Wal-Mart and Radio shack to help sell T-mobile products. Wal-Mart doesn’t pay commission to their employees. This is a bad thing because the employees will not be customer oriented or motivated. They will only do the minimum requirements to perform their jobs to avoid being terminated. Not every commission associate is a. Radio shack employees are played commission but there is another hurdle for T-mobile at RadioShack. The employees are often frustrated when customers are only approved for a no contract service. Instead of doing their jobs and promoting the benefits of T-mobiles products and showing how much money the customer would save, they just move on to the next carrier. Many times RadioShack employees don’t even bother to mention T-mobile.



I have never sold a cell phone at Bust Buy but I know their culture. They don’t pay their employees commission but they do make sure their employees are up to par in the selling skills and knowledge. I’m not sure if this is a winning model in their cell phone department but it did work in their computer department.



Knowing the type of store that Target is I would assume that they won’t pay their employees commission and thus won’t have motivated or knowledgeable employees. Only Bust Buy has the Bust Buy culture of enthusiasm and achievements without getting paid commission and I have never seen that model work any ware else.

StarCraft II is finally out after 12 long year since the reliece of the first game. I plan on geting the game today but I have been reaserching the reviews latly. So far what I hear is good but there are e few things i found disterbing.

The The gameplay doesnt seeme to get much complaints form users and reviewiers. It sticks to the tradiciona style of the old starcraft and warcraft design and thats part of what makes it great. The special effects seeme to be prety good form the trailers and demos that I have seen.

The game seemes to be very story drivin. This release is onely the firt of three chapters in the game. each shapter wil be relieced one at a time unlike its predisesor which had all 3 chapters in one game. I almost feel like we the consumers is geting riped off by deviding the three thapters into 3 different games. All that depends on how estensive each chapter is. Im not faulting the company for trying to keep hype going for years to come but if Im only geting 1/3rd of a game for $60 then I would be estremely upset.

Oking now im going to move on to the disterbing part but first I want to rant about software companies in genera. It seeme to me that these days software companies want to push products out that practilly crack dwon on paying customers in efforts to provent the small band of thieves that call themselvs pirates. Can anyone tell me if ther had ever been an instant where a company had colapsed due soly to the awe inspireing distructive force of softwre pirating? I dont think so. ho sere is what i find messed up about the new game.

Battle.net is now a cloud system . I hate cloud systems. the first cloud game I play was the late AVE. even though the game worked with out loging on to the cloud I wasnt able to save my game to my pc.You need the cloud to store your informaton. It mekes me feel liek the game I purchased isnt even mine. If you wan to argue property rights then maybe they should jsut stop selling games and rent them for about $10.00 a month over the cloud system. Other than that if I payed a one time purchase price and take the coppy to my home then I consider it to be mine in spite of what any coppyright law might say thus all saved informationg should stay on my computer.

No Lan support. the company doesnt want pirates having the full experience of the game with out the cloud system. But what about the rest of us playing customers? We are force to use the internet for multiplayer action.

RealID! over the Iternet! Are they crazy? do you know how easy it is to search some one with just their first and last name? do i have to tell you how this can serously back fire? What if some one posted a comment in a forum, then that comment gets flamed by some anoying jerk who was only lookin to start trouble. Ungnown to the jerk the auther of the comment has some kine of mental disorder and easily forgets wright form wrong, uses the jerks information to track hem down comits murder. The RealID feature is opt-in only but it should be completly removed.

Samsung Is in the game

The most talked about and reviewed variant of the Samsung Galaxy S phones is the Vibrant form T-mobile. While sticking to the original Galaxy S design this variant has become the most wanted smart phone on the market and its for a good reason. The phone is a Multimedia powerhouse. With the built in exclusive features you will be able to entertains your self for as long as the battery lasts. The design is aesthetically attractive. It is thin and sleek making you want to buy it just based on how it looks. Depending on where you shop the price is rapidly dropping on this device.

One thing that almost made me hate the phone was the fact the it didn't come with a flash.Instead the phone comes with the ability to amplify light with a function call night node. I don't yet own the phone so I'm not sure about how it really function but the reviews form Engadget.com seemed pretty impressive.

The phone comes exclusive with the Sims 3. If you haven't herd of this game then I would definitely recommend playing it. The Sims is like a simulation of life it self. You start by customizing your character to your specifications, looks, skills and personality. The character is placed into a home where you life your life. you can make friends with in-game character get a job, get married, start a family, and redesign your home. The game is highly addictive interactive.

Rumor has it that the phone will be compatible to the new HSDPA+ data networks and will get an upgrade to activate that feature when the system is in more locations. T-mobile claims that the HSDPA+ network will be able to provide speeds of up to 21Mb/second. Note that 1Mb (Mega bit) is 1/8Th of 1MB (Mega Byte), 1/8Th is = to .125 so to translate 21Mb/ second is = 2.625MB/second.

New rugged Smartphone.

Normally i would never consider a cell phone that's built to be rugged. they usually look bulky, unattractive and only come with the most basic features. Motorola's new i1 Smart phone from Sprint may have changed my perception. This new phone comes with military precision specifications for durability plus the features of a Smartphone according to the review from PhoneArena.com.

The phone looks fairly attractive and streamlined according to the photos I have seen. It seemed to be very similar to the Motorola Cliq XT for T-mobile as far as dimensions are concerned. As a Cliq XT owner I would say that if it is similar then this phone is for people who want something that's just above the basics but it is not for power user.

I don't work in any harsh environment that would require me to purchase a phone that wont break but on the other hand i do break things every easily. I have broken previous phones, watches, and various devices around my home. With my current phone i took extra precautions to protect the device with a case holder and a screen protector but still I ended up denting it by dropping the phone on asphalt because I missed when attempted to put it in the holder. I still frequently drop the phone around the house but fortunately i have carpet. I would recommend this phone to anybody out there that's as clumsy as I am.

Welcome

Welcome to Gadget Gage.


A little about my self:



My name is Isaac. I have been working with consumer electronics for over 10 years. I started as a commission sales employee in a department store and moved on to being a representative for vendors such as HP and T-mobile. I have been writing blogs on what I know since January 2010. I like to keep my self up to date on the latest technology involving TV's computers and cell phones.

I like subjects that deal with science such as chemistry and psychology. Psychology is new to me and though I find it to be very tedious there are some interesting things that can be explained about how people behave. Chemistry is my favorite science. Learning about the atom can open the door to just about anything in this world.
I currently work as a freelance writer for a web site company called demand studios. they post instructional "How To" content on the net either as videos or web pages. Writing is definitely not my strong point but I seem to be getting by.

The reason for creating these blog is to continue doing what i enjoy and that's researching and talking about technology. Normally I focus on PC technology. Every PC I ever had was self built to what I like. This isn't a cheaper way to buy a PC as some people might think.

Lately I have been shifting over to mobile phone technology. Mobile phones are far more interesting now they they where about five years ago. they are not just phones anymore. they are pocket size gadgets and entertainment centers. even some of the basic phones may have some PDA features installed.



I guess thats about it. Thanks you for reading.
