Phones, Phones, Phones!

If 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 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 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!

Finally, 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!

Vodafone 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!

Samsung 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.

No word on pricing for these two beauties yet, but this December they should be released in Europe!

There has been a lot of talk about the brand new LG BL20 Chocolate – however there hasn’t been a lot of talk about when it will be available or when it is going to come out.  Well, the question has finally been answered because the LG BL20 Chocolate will be available very, very soon and it is going to cost just under $400.00 – which is okay right?

The specs on the LG BL20 Chocolate are incredible!  The LG BL20 Chocolate features a 2.4-inch QVGA TFT display with 262k colors (240 × 320 resolution), a 5MP shooter with Autofocus and LED flash, a built-in FM radio, and a media player that supports WMA, AMR, MIDI, AAC, AAC+, MP3, 3GP. MP3s file formats.

All of that in a phone?  That is crazy!  I’ll keep you posted as to the availability on this particular phone!

So let’s talk about LG – I know that we just did a blog about some phones that this particular company was doing, but they are one hot company right now.  Currently, they are coming out with a couple new phones that are geared toward Japan, however they could sneak over to the states if you really wanted one.  The LG L-06A and L-04A phones are two phones that I think everyone will really like – they are touchscreen after all!

These phones feature: swiveling touch panel, a 5.1MP camera, a MicroSD external memory, and HSUPA(High Speed Uplink Packet Access) service. The “G” button on the keypad provides users a one-touch connection to Google’s business directory. 

Another cool thing about the LG L-06A and L-04A is the colors!  Red, pink, white, black – every color you can think about pretty much!   Very cool!

When you are looking for just a phone that you can talk on that does not have a whole lot of technology – that can be hard to find.  Honestly, phones, even the inexpensive ones seem to be packed full of technology and are very hard to use – not anymore!  The LG GB109 is actually one of those phones that is geared toward people who are just looking for the stripped down, basic model!

The LG GB109 offers up a 1.5-inch CSTN display with 65K colors, a stereo FM radio, an organizer and a 950 mAh battery that lasts up to 6 hours in talk-time or up to 440 hours in stand-by time. 

The price is just right too and while this little candy bar phone is not for sale in the US just yet, it is available in Ukraine next month for around $148.00.

We all know that Philips is known for their phones – specifically they are known for their phones because of the fact that their phones last forever.  The Xenium series is the one with the battery life and I am pleased to report that they have a brand new phone to add to the family … the Philips X650.  This particular phone is actually a slider and it is so cool looking that you might think you are in the future.

The Philips X650 features a 2.4-inch TFT LCD display with 240 x 320 resolution and 262K colors, a 3.2MP autofocus camera, an FM radio, a 30MB internal memory, a microSD card slot, Bluetooth, a USB port and comes with an remarkable battery lifetime that lasts up to 8 hours in talk-time, or up to one month in stand-by mode.

Although the pricing and availability is still a mystery, it has to be said that the Philips X650 is a phone that people are going to want … me included!
