Phones, Phones, Phones!

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!

Following hot on the heels of their first two ventures into the world of Google Android phones, T-Mobile is now preparing the launch the HTC Hero, the big name cell phone provider’s third Google Android phone, following their myTouch 3G.

The HTC Hero features some things which are noticeably missing on the myTouch 3G. On the HTC, it is called the Sense. In short, HTC Sense takes on a new approach to the functionality of smartphones. These include Stay Close, Discover the Unexpected, and Make It Mine. Stay Close allows users to keep in touch with their family members and friends through a variety of mediums; Discover the Unexpected allows users to share a number of experiences right through their cell phones; and Make It Mine, as one might expect, allows users to personalize their phones in any number of ways.

As far as design goes, you can plainly see the sleekness of the Hero, which features angles and bevelled edges.

You must have heard about the Android operating system from the stables of Google. The T-Mobile G1 is the first phone that uses this operating system and is also referred to as the “Googlephone”. A large touch sensitive display makes this cellphone easy to use and the slide out panel reveals a full qwerty keyboard. Look under the hood of this mobile and you will be amazed at the power it packs. Compared to its low price, the 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus will please the purchasers of this mobile that has a 65,000 colors 3.2 inches TFT display at 480 x 320 pixels. The MP3 player of this phone supports a wide variety of song formats including MP3, AAC, AMR, WMA, MIDI, WAV, OGG Vorbis and M4A.

You’ll enjoy its MP3 ringtones but the fun of polyphony will be missed. However at the price this mobile is available, one should not complain, especially when they it has SMS, MMS, Gmail and Instant Messaging capabilities. The handsfree speaker helps when one has to talk while driving. The inbuilt memory is a 2GB microSD card (expandable to 8GB). Connectivity is via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and USB. Internet accessibility is via GPRS, EDGE, 3G HSDPA (7.2 Mbps). This is a Quadband phone hence you can use it anywhere in the world. With talktime up to 5 hours and standby up to 130 hours, this smartphone packs a punch for its price. The weight is a bit on the heavy side at 158 grams.
