LG KE850 Prada

Besides the iF Design Award prize won in 2006, LG's Prada also won 'Best of the Best' red dot Design Award in 2007. I believe this says everything about the phone's design which is as stylish as can be. While two thirds of the sold phones are clamshells, the candybar form seems to be a little bit unpopular, but LG Prada comes to contradict these statistics. The phone is slim and the no-button interface with the entire phone face covered by a touch-sensitive screen may look very much like Apple's iPhone, but people must understand that besides the design you can't really compare the two devices.

LG KE850 comes with an unusually big TFT touchscreen (240 x 400 pixels resolution) that supports up to 256k colors. The screen won't respond to any commands if you use a stylus or other objects and you will only be able to handle it with your fingers. This is the first handset that relies entirely on the use of the touchscreen for accessing the phone's functions. LG warned users that the phone will not work in hot or humid conditions, but neither in case you're wearing gloves. Thanks to the capacitive technology, the display responds very quickly being also quite accurate; however, it might be a pain to handle for people with wide fingers. The most annoying thing by far is the scrolling, which is very hard to execute, unless you're using the dual volume key. Outdoor use of the phone can mean trouble for you especially if you're looking to initiate calls, because it's almost impossible to see anything on the screen in sunlight. There's still a chance that you can use the phone on sunny days, but you have to protect the display from direct sunlight. Word of advice – protect your screen with your life as it scratches very easily even if you're using it with gloves (which you cannot, as I’ve already told you).

Amateur radio

Communicating by ham radio today is a little like hooking up a black-and-white TV and antenna to watch your Friday night shows. In an era of simple, swift, worldwide communication with cell phones, instant messaging and Internet calling, amateur radio seems like a quaint hobby.

Amateur radio used to be the only way to communicate cheaply with people around the world. In the 1950s and 1960s, ham radio attracted a lot of young boys who liked the mechanics and being able to talk to people thousands of miles away. They studied technical manuals and learned Morse code so they could get their own amateur radio license and call sign. Many of them went on to become engineers. But today, kids can use computers and cell phones to do much of what ham radio does.

Things to do with your cell phone

Remember where you parked: Take a sec to snap a picture when you get out of your car and save minutes (or hours) canvassing a crowded lot later.

Record your shopping list: When you send someone on an errand, pictures show exactly what to pick up.

Google Calendar sends free customized reminders to your phone.

Send a text message to GOOGLE (466453) with a search query, (try “weather” and your ZIP code), and the search company will text you right back with the free results, including business listings and movie times.

Document the hours of your hangouts: You’ll never have to wonder when your favorite restaurant opens and closes again.

Grab that jerk’s license plate: Or document your fender bender. Just wait till you’re safely off the road.

Rumors about laws against talking on the phone while driving

A new e-mail was circulating that sent some cell phone users and motorists into a panic. Talking on the phone while driving is part of the US lifestyle, but a circulating e-mail said it could be illegal without a special device. The e-mail said cell phone use must be hands-free while driving or the driver will receive a $285 ticket.

When the e-mail was traced to the beginning, the originator said she had been hacked. This is a form of terrorist, when you receive this type of information, contact your cell phone company or consult the news. This type of rumors works for criminals.

Personal injury lawyer

If you need a legal assistance, it is a good idea to shop around. The first step is to compile a list of names. The recommendation of someone whose judgment you trust is an excellent place to start your search. You may want to begin by asking relatives, friends, clergy, social workers, your doctor, or internet for recommendations. Often those persons can refer you to someone who has provided similar legal services for them. Remember that you need to know more about the lawyer than simply that the person is a good attorney. In example, you may need a specialized lawyer like corpus christi personal injury lawyer. Ask the persons making the recommendation for specific information about the type of legal help the lawyer provided them and how their case was handled.

LG KU580 Desing

LG KU580 was announced in April 2007 as a Vodafone exclusive mobile phone which cannot be bought from another mobile network operator. Even if the design of KU580 doesn't go too far from its predecessors, it still has a different look that sets it apart from the entire collection. The same touch-sensitive keys that made the entire Chocolate collection famous is present in the KU580 model, but this time there is no responsive delay to the keys. The handset has a smaller display than other Chocolates, but this is backed by a very good resolution. In fact, everything is smaller compared to the other models of the collection, including the touch-sensitive keys placed right under the screen.

Electronic greeting card for cell phones

Text messages and voice mail are so five minutes ago. Next time your cell phone beeps, it may mean you've received an electronic greeting card. Brooklyn-based American Greetings has launched a new mobile e-card service allowing subscribers to send greeting cards to cell phones. On phones with the right capabilities, the cards materialize in full color and with animation. Actually sending a mobile card takes a little of both. The service, currently in a testing phase, is available only to American Greetings subscribers, who, for $13.99 a year, are allowed three mobile cards and an unlimited number of e-cards. An additional $11 provides access to the company's "Create & Print" service.

The iphone revolution?

The iPhone is a really functional device that sucks a lot less than so many other phones, and fans of dynamic symbolic UI finally have a device that doesn't wimp out in presenting us with a virtual interface. Plus the screen DPI is so high it actually makes reading really small text practical so the screen is much more usable than you would think only from looking at the size in specs. Furthermore it's also a device with a huge amount of potential, in part from Apple but also in part from hacking. And as we have seen with the Apple TV and other devices, Apple devices are generally hackable and Apple doesn't push back the way Sony or Nintendo or Microsoft do. I don't quite know if revolution is the right word either, but it sure is a breath of fresh air in a world that until now has been a fetid swamp.
