Motorola BackflipIf you have been watching TV for any reason at all, you are probably seeing all of the commercials for the Motorola Backflip.  This is a phone that not only have I been wanting, but one that I think is pretty cool as well.  Now though – it is actually going to be hitting Germany, which is fantastic!

The Motorola Backflip is actually an Android-powered phone that is actually available via Amazon.com, which is something that you do not see every single day.  The Motorola Backflip features A-GPS, 3G, 5mpx camera, Bluetooth, 3.1-inch touch screen and a microSD expansion slot.

This phone is definitely a fantastic alternative to the iPhone and I have to say – it’s awesome looking too!

lg-gx500-dual-sim-phone-1LG is definitely one of those companies that are making waves all over the place and to be honest, I think that they are coming out with some awesome phones.  Take the brand new LG GX500 which is actually a dual SIM phone that is a candy bar.  The technology that is packed into this phone though is impeccable!

The LG GX500 has a 40MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, a media player, an FM radio, a microUSB port, Bluetooth, a 1500mAh battery and supports GSM/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) connectivity.  All of which is incredible for a phone of this size!

No work on pricing or availability right now, however as soon as it becomes available, I will keep you guys updated!

T-Mobile Pulse MiniT-Mobile is one of those companies that I love.  I think that they are definitely the best carrier and have some of the best plans in the world. Their phones are also pretty cool and their newest phone, the Pulse Mini is actually incredible – for someone that is on a budget and lives in Europe.

The Pulse Mini is one of those phones that is small yet powerful and I can tell you for sure that this particular phone is honestly going to be extremely popular.  The technology inside?  It’s packed!  the T-Mobile Pulse Mini features a 2.8-inch QVGA, a Qualcomm MSM 7225 processor, and a 3.2-megapixel camera with a built-in LED flash. Additional features include a microSD card slot (up to a 16GB microSD card) and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

No words on the pricing or availability right now, but I can tell you for sure that it is going to be inexpensive and awesome!

Bioserie iPhone CaseThe iPhone is by far one of the most popular phones in the world.  I do not think that I have ever seen a phone that has a ton of different accessories or even a ton of different cases that go with it but the brand new Bioserie iPhone Case is certainly making waves.

This iPhone case is actually the very first bio-plastic case in the world and it is made from all plants, which is something that makes this particular case eco-friendly, which is a great investment! 

You want chic and cool and eco-friendly?  The brand new iPhone case!

Sony Ericsson VivazFinally, we know that the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is going to be produced – it is finally official and I can tell you for sure that this high-end smartphone is going to be released in the next couple months.  Sony is known for all of their electronics and I can tell you for sure that their cell phones are just as awesome and work perfectly.

If you have been waiting for the latest and greatest from Sony, you might have to wait a few more months because the Sony Ericsson Vivaz is still in production right now.  To refresh your memory on this phone – it features a 3.5-inch full touchscreen display, an 8.1MP autofocus camera, GPS, WiFi, HSDPA, HD video recording (720p), a 3.5mm headset jack and runs on the Symbian S60 operating system.

All of that and the Sony name right – it is definitely one package that you should be looking for!

Buffalo’s Latest iPod Dock With A 500GB Hard DriveWe all know that iPods as well as iPhones are certainly some of the most popular electronics in the world but did you know that there are actually iPhone docking stations now?  The latest and greatest iPhone docking station though is by Buffalo and it is the Buffalo HDD Dualie and it is not your average docking station.

The reason is because this particular gadget actually comes equipped with a 500GB hard disk drive that will allow you to charge and sync your iPhone.  You can also connect this particular docking station to your laptop via FireWire 800.

Currently, the price on this beauty is just under $250.00, but it is just for PC, the MAC version will be released next year!

iphone-vodafone-uk1Vodafone is a company that I would never really expect to release something as awesome – as cool and as packed with technology as the beautiful iPhone but they are.  For one, I did not know that the iPhone was not available in the UK, but it was not until next year – January 14th to be exact because that is when Vodafone is releasing the iPhone to the UK!

The iPhone has been all of the rave this year and last year and I can tell you that as soon as Vodafone releases the iPhone into the world of the UK, it is going to be absolutely incredible.

So if you live in the UK and you are looking for an iPhone, January 14th is the date that you can get it!

xmas-2Cell 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.

Samsung B5722 And C6112 Dual SIM Phones UnveiledSamsung as a company has finally come out with two new dual SIM phones that are incredible.  Pictured above is the B5722 Samsung cell phone and I have to say, that this particular phone is actually pretty interesting compared to other cell phones that Samsung has come out with.

It features a 2.8-inch QVGA display with 262k colors, a 3.2MP camera with LED flash, Samsung’s TouchWiz Lite 1.0 UI, dual SIM card slots, a music player, an FM radio, access to Facebook and MySpace, a microSD card slot (up to 8GB), a 1200 mAh battery, Bluetooth and supports quad-band GSM/EDGE connectivity.

Now, the C6112, which is another Samsung cell phone that they are releasing very soon as well features some of the same things but it is actually a slider phone that has a 2MP camera, dual SIM cars slots with up to 8GB of space along with a 960 mAh battery.
