Verizon jumps from EV-DO to Rev. A

In a recent effort to overshadow the iPhone and to stay on the map, Verizon has upgraded its EV-DO network to Revision A technology. This service, which has already been implemented in areas across the nation, will allow Verizon subscribers to access content and extremely higher rates of speed. EV-DO subscribers can expect average downloads times to be between 600kbps to 1.4 Mbps and the upload times will be within the 500-800 kbps range. This is a great attempt from Verizon to up their network to combat the surge in service offered by competing carriers from the likes of Cingular and Sprint. Kudos to Verizon for upping their network, next on the list is to offer better looking phones.

Kyocera Mako S4000

I purchase this phone May 08 and had to return the first phone in less then a month, then i got a new phone same brand and make and this phone had the same problem. 2 phones in less then 2 months. This Kyocera Mako S4000 phone would freeze-up, didn't hold it's charge and drop almost all my calls. Today I just got a new phone a Samsung phone. Some Kyocera Mako s4000 accessories to help this cell phone would be an extra cell phone charger.

3220 for Cellular One

The Nokia 3220 is certainly one of the attractive mobile phones and one of the affordable phones as well. Along with the low-end price are features that are quite impressive for a small unit but useful at the same time. The outer casing of the 3220 sports a funky, sporty theme. Definitely not the kind of phone business executives would want to carry around. But it appeals to the young people of the market.
With an assortment of customized cell phone cases, cell phone covers, and other Nokia accessories, the 3220 is pretty much a fashionable mobile phone. But though the 3220 seems to be a youngster's mobile phone of choice, the features are also worth noting. The display is pretty much impressive. The picture quality is acceptable. Voice quality for phone calls is decent. Phone conversations with the 3220 are not that bad.
As for flaws, I am pretty sure there some but who cares? For $99.99, this mobile phone is the bomb!

The LG 200C from Tracfone

Tracfone now offers the LG 200C at only $29.99. The LG 200C is a clamshell mobile phone with basic features such as SMS and caller-id. Probably not the kind of phone most people use this days owing to the fact that it doesn't have a camera. And unlike Nokia accessories, the LG cell phone accessories for the LG 200C are very hard to find. Users of this phone have reported that they end up buying data cables from another phone brand since they happen to have the same cable ports.

But, to say the least, this clamshell has reaped good reviews for its voice clarity and excellent signal strength. Users of this mobile phone will appreciate the clear conversations they will experience. Though there are still background noises, these are greatly minimized. For $29.99, the LG 200C is a good deal for any potential buyer who just need a phone, nothing more, nothing less.
