There are a few models in the Blackberry Bold product family but by far the most versatile is the Blackberry 9700 and it comes standard with a few upgrades. Both Bold models have the microSD card plug in to take your storage needs to 32 GB with the current SD technology. However the Bold 9700 has twice the RAM with 256 MB and comes with a started microSD card with 2GB as opposed to the 9000′s 1 GB.

If you find yourself in areas without Carrier coverage a lot then you’ll be relying on Private and Public WiFi a lot. The 9000 is 802.11a compatible, but most places offering service to the public and guests now provide 802.11b/g which the Bold 9700 is ready for. Plus the bold 9700 is ready for your WiFi carriers home cell coverage extension with its UMA support and is app ready for the Blackberry suite of proprietary apps via the Blackberry Enterprise Server.

Full network coverage in Tri and Quad mode is available across the Bold line but again only the Blackberry 9700 cover the UMTS networks at 2100/1900/850/800 MHz and 2100/1700/900 MHz for broadband voice and data applications that optimize the abilities of the 3G networks it is on.

Both of the Bold mobiles are fine data/voice instruments but the Bold 9700 does have a few nuances that some people might opt for over the 9000.

HTC look set to unleash its competitor in the business smartphone segment with its new HTC 7 Pro. Even though on initial looks, the phone might look like a normal touch screen phone, the phone packs in quite a lot of features in its small dimensions to really appeal to not just the business class of people, but to all classes of people.

The phone has a 3.6 inch display, which comes with a slide-out keyboard underneath. It is not just any normal keyboard, but a full-fledged full QWERTY keypad and this would certainly appeal to the business people. Once fully slid out, the keypad rests in a flat manner while the screen is tilted at an angle for easy viewing. The full QWERTY keypad is great with well laid out keys, which are also well spaced and offers a great feel while typing.

The phone comes with industry standard features like 1 GHz processor and a 5 megapixel camera, which has HD video recording capabilities in 720p format. Apart from that the phone has all the business applications you can think of like Office, Outlook and PowerPoint, which facilitate you to do business on the go. The Stocks app lets you to keep abreast with all the latest movements in the Stock market without the necessity to go to a computer and check.

The phone also comes with 8GB of memory meaning that you never have to delete your favourite music and pictures from the phone. The phone is equipped with options like 3G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for connectivity. A powerful 1500 mAh battery provides sufficient battery life for running all these.

HTC have revealed that the phone will be set for a December launch in the UK with prices and the likely carriers yet to be announced. We expect to see some great HTC 7 Pro contracts available on mobile phone comparison websites however.

With the release of the new slim version of the Xbox 360 in the US according to NPD, sales have increased by 88% in June. In spite of this though, videogame sales have fallen by 15% in the same month so overall sales are down by 9% compared to this time last year. Microsoft sold 452,000 Xbox 360 units in June and this was 88% higher than in June 2009 and over twice the amount of consoles sold in May this year. Nintendo on the other hand sold 423,000 Wii units in June up from 335,000 in May as the release of the new game Super Mario Galaxy 2 boosted sales of the console and the game itself having sold 548,000 copies through the month. Finally Sony have sold 305,000 PlayStation units which compared to May’s total sale of 154,000 is nearly double. Rockstar have cleaned up with their game sales after the release of the latest Red Dead Redemption game selling over 2.5 million copies since its release back in May. These consoles, well some of them not quite all three of them, are available with some mobile phones and to say the least some of the mobile phone deals are not to be sniffed at by anyone who is after a ‘value for money’ deal. These kind of promotions aren’t available all year round though and some cheap mobile phones won’t qualify for being a part if these deals.

Codenamed Shakira in the online rumour circles for months now, the new Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 gets officially announced and should be reaching its markets before the 3rd quarter ends. It is further announced to have a SIM-free price of €329 and will get a number of body color options like white and two toned color schemes like dark blue/white, aqua blue/white, pink/white and silver/white. Comparing mobile phone deals online can save you a great deal of time and money.

For that price, the world’s 5th largest mobile phone maker is pitching the XPERIA X8 to a larger market. Unfazed by the disappointing showing of the XPERIA X10 Minis, the new X8 should bring the XPEIRA line to wider markets that stated with the delayed release of its much-awaited but underwhelming XPERIA X10.

So what do you get for its €329 price tag? Well, for sure there’s nothing spectacular nor novel about its features set. While it has more affinity with the larger XPERIA X10, many of its feature set straddles the entry level budget line, though the Japanese-Swedish mobile phone maker is positioning it halfway between the XPERIA X10 and its Mini versions.

Measuring 99 x 54 x 15 mm and powered by a 600 MHz processor, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 comes with a run-of-the-mill 3-inch TFT HVGA capacitive touchscreen with 16 million colors, a scratch resistance surface and the expected gravity accelerometer. Mobile entertainment benefits from a stereo FM radio with RDS and media players for the popular video and audio files formats. You also get TrackID, PlayNow and a 3.5mm headphone jack complementing its wireless A2DP stereo listening. Pick up Sony Ericsson X8 deals for cheaper by comparing them online.

While serving to bring down its price to more affordable level, its entry-level 3.2-megapixel fixed focus camera is sure to disappoint many Android fans not used to 5 megapixel autofocus cameras in Androids. The X8 doesn’t even have LED flash but it comes with geo tagging and a competent video recording at VGA resolution and 30fps frame rate.

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X8 has quad band radios on both GSM/GPRS/EDGE on 2G and UMTS/HSDPA on 3G. It has WiFi 802.11b/g, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP and microUSB 2.0. There’s a GPS receiver with A-GPS support, digital compass, Google maps with Street View and WisePlot navigation.

Cell phones have somehow become a part of our lives that some people couldn’t even leave their houses without like their wallets or daily medications. Come to think of it, what’s not to like about them? If you would look in to cell phone reviews all over the internet nowadays, you’ll find out that cell phone manufacturers and producers would always have something new up their sleeves when it comes to the newest models of mobile phones that they are releasing almost every week (Nokia). Even phone line companies would have special promos if you take advantage of a cell phone plan because most of them would only be able to sell a phone line if a really nice unit is included in that plan. Even the cheapest cell phone plans would include the latest units nowadays just to make sure that they could get a lot of people’s attentions. It is sometimes even confusing to go to their offices because mostly, you’ll find more of the mobile phone units’ features and functions than the services that they offer. In terms of features, cell phones have become your one stop shop to everything now because a phone can have all the things you want in one.

If you have not been paying attention to news, then this latest update may seem to be something that is totally out of the blue. The truth of the matter however, is that this has been coming since the past couple of weeks after Apple declared that the developers may no longer use Adobe’s software to create applicators for the new iPhone operating system.

The lockout has delivered a critical blow to Adobe who was just hours away from unveiling the new Adobe Flash Professional CS5 which featured an iPhone app compiler as one of the key features.

In any case, Apple’s efforts to make Adobe feel unwelcome were pretty obvious and Adobe has decided to thrown in the towel. Adobe product manager Mike Chambers has announced in his blog that Apple is not the only company they can develop for –obviously, he was referring to Google.

Now, Google and Adobe have tied up and one of their first announcements was that the Android OS will now come equipped with support for both the latest Flash and AIR support. Of course, Google is excited about the tie up as well. To quote Google VP Andy Rubin:

“Google believes that developers should have their choice of tools and technologies to create applications. By supporting Adobe AIR on Android we hope that millions of creative designers and developers will be able to express themselves more freely when they create applications for Android devices. More broadly, AIR will foster rapid and continuous innovation across the mobile ecosystem.”

“Google is happy to be partnering with Adobe to bring the full web, great applications, and developer choice to the Android platform. Our engineering teams have been working closely to bring both AIR and Flash Player to Google’s mobile operating system and devices. The Android platform is enjoying great adoption, and we expect our work with Adobe will help that growth continue.”

Is it not ironic that this team up was made possible by Apple? The latest Android smartphone deals can be found by visiting Moby1, who have all the latest Motorola Quench deals and HTC Legend offers.

A lot of moblie phone companies nowadays try to outdo each other by the units that they make and for some mobile phones manufacturer, they even compete with themselves to try and see how well they could create a new one for the customers. That is simply the case that happened with the iPhone 3Gs. The company wanted to create something better than the original one but it seems that the whole thing backfired a little bit than to do any good. First is on its looks because it is exactly the same with the original iPhone 3G… not that the original is ugly but they could have at least made a few adjustments to the appearance so you can differentiate the two. There are simply no added features that a normal user would really like, though the upgrade came from the speed. It is basically the only upgrade that it received, but then overall, it is still the type of phone that you would want to buy for yourself or for your loved ones. The point of this entry is that the 3Gs version of the iPhone doesn’t really have any difference with the original, except for one, which is speed.

There have been tons of mobile phone deals nowadays since everyone seems to have mobile phones right now, even the children. This only goes to show how technology has been embraced by the people and vice versa. New phones from all parts of the world and brands just keep on coming up and right now, the Nokia N97 mini is taking my attention due to the unique design that the company decided to put on it. This is another QWERTY phone from Nokia and the second version of the N97 model, only this time, it is a lot smaller.

The new phone is only 113 x 52.5 x 14.2 mm and 138g, which is a lot slimmer and smaller than the original. The screen may have gotten smaller on this one, but it became a more pocket friendly type of phone. This unit still had the 5 megapixel camera, which is of course a good news to a lot of people, and the GPS feature is still intact. The N97 mini is packed with quadband WCMDA 850/900/1900/2100 as well as Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, WiFi b/g, a microUSB 2.0 connection and a 3.5mm headphones socket. It is however, not the best phone of Nokia to date, but you can definitely enjoy using it.

Jailbreaking among phones have become really common, especially among the Iphone or Itouch owners, due to tons of possibilities that you can do to your phone after doing it. Jailbreaking your iphone/itouch can really be easy due to numerous instructions available over the net regardless if you have Windows or Intel Mac installed in your phone, but of course, everything falls under your discretion and people that do this on their own should understand that there is a slight possibility of breaking the phone itself and not just jailbreaking it.

No matter how you did it, the main thing to do if in case your phones act up is to restore everything through iTunes as they have just the tool for such thing. If successful, everything should be fine and your life becomes a lot easier, but still, just be cautious with this because iPhones and iTouch are not exactly the cheapest gadgets around.
