Phones, Phones, Phones!

Cell phones are rather popular as Christmas gifts, and the holiday season will be here before you know it. If you are thinking about getting someone a phone as a gift, how do you go about it?

For starters, you have to do a little research, and it all revolves around the person for whom you are buying it. There are tons of different cell phones to choose from out there, so you have to make sure you know the recipient’s wants and needs.

If you are buying for someone who loves to send text messages, for instance, that will factor into your decision. If you are buying a phone for someone who only makes and receives cars, then you do not need to choose a phone with all the bells and whistles.

AT&T recently announced its intentions to unveil the new HP iPAQ Glisten World Phone. It runs on Windows Mobile, has a 6.5 touch screen, and 3G world capabilities. The phone will sell for $230.

The Glisten’s AMOLED touch screen is impressively large, allowing for vibrant and vivid colors. The phone also features a QWERTY keyboard, allowing for quick typing in sending messages and emails.

The Start Menu has been redesigned, the internet browser is improved and has Flash support, and there is My Phone service available for free. This service synchronizes messages, pictures, web data, and contacts.

The phone is designed specifically for business users and, as such, also features programs such as Microsoft Outlook, Excel complete with PowerPoint, Word, and even PDF support.
