My Mobile Fantasies... at night

5. the Nokia E71x
The thinnest smartphone for At&t with s60 OS, wi-fi, a 3.2 mega pixel camera and a great keyboard
4. The Nokia Surge
Another smartphone from Nokia that uses S60 OS, has a 2.0 mega pixel camera and a slide out keyboard.
3. The iPhone 3GS
Yes, the iPhone or the "JesusPhone". Its that latest addition to the iPhone line.
With twice the speed and memory for the same price.

2. The Blackberry Curve 8900
The best blackberry on the market but it doesn't carry 3G
Has a 3.2 megapixel camera, Wi-fi and the newest Blackberry OS

1. The Blackberry Bold 9000
The sexy Blackberry for At&t. Its got a leather backing, 2.0 mega pixel camera, Wi-fi, and 3G support.

The iPhone...


While some may think the iPhone is the "Jesus Phone", I really don't.
The iPhone is just a device that Apple could create, with it's extensive media background.

I mean, Apple had all the right ingredients; a full touch screen, the iTunes media player and the trendy Apple logo that helps all their products sell.

3 years after the iPhone was released, is it really "revolutionary" or is it just convenient now?

The most recent iPhone, the 3GS, just added things that a lot of phones have. A video camera, MMS, Cut & Paste and Voice Control.
Also, the home screen and menus are just so vanilla. If I another iPhone black menu screen or white scrolling menu, I'll just... I don't know...

Don't get me wrong, I love the iPhone. Its the most convenient deceive on the market for sure.
The App Store is great and so is the threaded messaging. I have threaded messaging on my Blackjack II too.

I just can't get past the full touch screen. I used to think a full touch screen is awesome and fun but I need to text. A lot. Normally when I text I do it without looking at my cell phone, to save time and not get caught it class. With a full touch screen, I can't do that anymore.

This is just my take on the iPhone. You don't have to agree, just subscribe!

My Blackjack II


My blackjack II is great or was great...

I've owned a Samsung Blackjack II since March of 2008.
This phone is an awesome pic for anyone who wants to be inducted into the "smartphone" world, this was first smartphone too.

First, the appeal.

The blackjack II has a definite sexy appeal to it. It's black, sleek, slim and the display has a mirrored effect. Compared to all the Win-Mo phones, this one is one of the sexiest.

The phone uses a proprietary Samsung adapter so you can't use your own headphones with it.
The microSD slot is on the outside of the phone, so you can change mircoSD cards conveniently. Whats not so convenient is the fact that the slot is embedded in the phone so it's difficult to get the SD card in and out of the phone if you don't have nails.

The phone has a very convenient scroll wheel that you rarely use. Also my finger slips off of it a lot when scrolling fast.

The keyboard is awesome for my fingers. When typing, the phone often misses letters. The most often letters missed are O and E. I don't know if this is a software issue or a hardware issue. I have heard that this is a problem with others too.

The screen is okay, when scrolling through the menus some items were pixely, if that's a word?

Camera. Its bad. Just horrible. The images are blurry and come out foggy too.
The sound is okay but the phone doesn't have stereo speakers. The sound comes out of a hole at the top of the phone. I find I have to turn down the volume constantly because the speaker is just too loud.

The phone runs Windows 6.1 and the scrolling menu works amazing. Definitely the most convenient part of the phone. It also has threaded messages like an IM conversation or the iPhone.

Overall, this is a great option for anyone looking into the smartphone world. It only 49.99 for a two-year agreement on At&t and its one of the easier Windows Mobile phones.

It is currently being replaced with the Blackjack III with looks a lot like the Curve 8900

My Newest Obsession... Blackberry Bold 9000


I have AT&T.

Currently I own a blackjack II that drops calls and messages due to the times I've dropped it.

Sadly my contract isn't up until November and I don't have money for a new cell phone.
I went to the AT&T store and fell in love with the 8900 Curve but it doesn't have 3G so I'd settle for the Blackberry Bold 9000.

Pros: Bold has 3G, I can't live without my 3G on my blackjack II.
The display, the Bold has a big display and colors look clear and distinct on the screen.
The physical appeal of the phone, its got a faux-leather back, and a sophisticated look. This is definitely the sexiest Blackberry I've ever seen.

Cons: The Bold doesn't currently have Skyfire. I love the convenience of Skyfire on my Blackjack. Currently Blackberrys aren't supported for Skyfire, although this support is coming soon.
The camera, compared to the Curve 8900, is just not up to par. The 2.0 mega pixels camera gives a hazy look to the pictures, although I just tested this in an AT&T store.
Also the price. The Bold is $300.00 on a two-year agreement! That's just ridiculous. The iPhone is the same price!

I'm definitely head-over-heels with the Bold but I'm thinking about waiting till the Onyx comes out. Too bad we don't know when.

The Onyx should be a refresh to the Bold, hopefully it will come soon.

Cell Phones and Me

I love cell phones...

Its a bit obsessive but I just love em'
I read up on cellphones each day, I'm fantasied about the newest hand held mobiles.

I created this blog to share my take on new phones and my latest obsessions.
I don't really want readers, I just hope someday I can have a successful cell phone review site.

Indirectly I need readers or subscribers, so read on!

I'm a teenager living in Los Angeles, the most superficial city in the world.
A phone is like a car, if you don't have the right one, you're screwed.
