Reliable iPhone 3G 2.2.1 Unlock

By: Gen Wright

There seems to be a lot of debate when it comes to the matter of unlocking or jail-breaking iPhones. Lots of people feel that there is some strict law in place and that by purchasing a new iPhone you are promising to be a consistent AT&T customer. This is simply. The truth is that you purchased the product, this means you are the owner, and you can use it in whichever way you whish. With that being said, often times - especially using software Unlock methods, your warranty that has been provided by Apple will become null and void once you complete the unlocking process, so you must ensure that you unlock your phone in a safe and reliable manner.

When it comes to unlocking your 3G iPhone 2.2.1 there are some techniques and tricks that you need to be aware of in order to complete the whole process. The last thing that you want to do is end up with an expensive decoration rather than a phone that can be used to its fullest. When deciding to unlock your iPhone you need to understand what you are doing and what can happen to your iPhone if not done correctly.

In the US, almost every 3G iPhone 2.2.1 will be "locked" upon purchase. The locked status will only allow the phone to work in a certain network such as AT&T for example. If you wish to use the phone with another carrier you will need to unlock the phone. The best iPhone unlocking tactics performed is using a hardware "piggy back" SIM card. Place this ultra thin SIMcard on top of the SIM from the carrier you wish to use, and your iPhone is Unlocked. You will essentially be able to use your 3G iPhone 2.2.1 in any manner that you deem fit. This piggy back sim method will never void your Apple warranty.

There are several warnings and precautions to consider when unlocking your iPhone. While you may find loads of information online such as tutorials and howto's, it is best to let an unlocking expert take care of the major details. Search for and find a reliable company that will offer your detailed step by step instructions on how to unlock your phone carefully and in a way that will not risk harm to the phone itself. By using experts such as these you will also be given the details on how to return your phone to locked status if you wish to take it in for service or use the warranty that you undoubtedly purchased along with it. Take your time, make sure you are informed and seek expert advice. Sure unlocking your 3G iPhone 2.2.1 may seem easy enough after reading some free online tips, but do you really want to risk turning your iPhone into a useless brick?

Samsung F480 Tocco Mobile Phone Review - A Touch Of Class In A Touch Screen Mobile Phone

By: Carlson Osbourne

These days, mobile phone users want it all - music, photos, 3G capability and sheer unadulterated style as well. There is nothing wrong with wanting it all, and if you do then you might be interested in this little gem. The Samsung F480 Tocco is one of Samsung's newest offerings. It is sleek, stylish and undoubtedly fashionable, so much so that one reviewer referred to it as "Samsung Armani". It certainly looks the part, but does it walk the walk as well?

Style And Navigation

The Samsung F480 Tocco is one of the phones that make you believe in love at first sight. The black and metallic casing is undoubtedly incredibly sexy, especially considering you can alternate between the original casing and a leather look one that is included in the package. Either way, it is incredibly smooth and sophisticated, especially if you consider the fact that this compact little number is a touch screen phone. The screen is 2.9"and of an incredibly high resolution. This justifies its domination of the handset alone. In terms of the overall outer design of the phone, it is simply flawless.

However, if you have never used a touch screen phone before then it can take come getting used to though so prepare to spend some time learning to get along with it. The interface is not the user-friendliest of navigation systems but it is easier to navigate than the iPhone. Again, it just takes a little time to get use to if you are a little technologically challenged but it does not pose a major problem.

The Feature List

The feature list of the Samsung F480 Tocco is pretty impressive. For starters, there is a 5MP camera that is packed full of little extras. There is face recognition, anti-shake and LED flash so you can take the best possible pictures at any time of day or night. Its only downfall is that direct sunlight will ruin your images because it cannot seem to cope with it. All Samsung camera phones are the same though so it is an issue o the make rather than just of the model.

There is a fantastic music player on board as well. It features a bluetooth A2DP profile, an MP3 player and an FM Radio. The Samsung F480 Tocco actually sounds extremely good and has a music recognition feature that will enhance your experience. The 232MB memory is more than sufficient to hold a good number of tunes on it, but can be boosted by a MicroSD memory card if need be.

The connectively of the Samsung F480 Tocco is good, with GPRS, EDGE, USB, bluetooth and 3G capability, but Wi-Fi is conspicuous by its absence. However, with a feature list as extensive as it is, you cannot fault the phone itself. If you want it all, well almost all, then the Samsung F480 Tocco is for you. It has all of the latest features that come as standard and does them well, better in fact than some of the similar phones out there on the market.

Samsung Announces the Release of the New Samsung L170 Handset

By: Preeti

Samsung have announced a new 3G handset the Samsung L170. It’s a new style mobile phone and looks unique as it is considerably different to 3G handsets currently available which makes it quite an exciting mobile phone.

The phone measures 102.3 x 45.8 x 10.7 millimeters and weighs only 86 grams, thus being one of the slimmest and most lightweight 3G handsets ever created. Unfortunately, Samsung L170 has a small display when compared to other newly released phones, an 1.6 inch one that offers a 220 x 176 pixel resolution.

As for its looks it has a glossy finish with silver metal highlights, a large navigation wheel, a widescreen display (1.6” – possibly made like this as the screen is relatively small) and an unusual touch sensitive keypad. Touch sensitive keypads have previously been flat, but the L170 sports what looks like a standard keypad but is actually touch sensitive with the buttons slightly raised. Personally I think touch sensitive buttons are not as accurate as standard buttons when texting, but maybe the raised touch sensitive buttons will prove to be more accurate than the usual flat style keypads.

The Samsung L170 is a tri-band GSM phone (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with 3G (UMTS 2100) and EDGE. It packs a 2 Mega pixel camera with Auto focus, Flash and video recording, as well as a secondary VGA camera for video calls. Furthermore, the phone comes with Media Player, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0, WAP 2.0 / xHTML and NetFront browser, Java MIDP 2.0, FM radio with RDS, Google search, mobile blogging and handsfree. The handset provides only 21 MB of built-in memory, but it can be extended with a microSD TransFlash card, most probably for up to at least another 2GB. The battery included in Samsung L170 can offer a talk-time of almost 3 hours and a stand-by time of up to 250 hours .

This is an attractive and unusual handset, it looks ideal for anyone who wants a sleek and light 3G device. The samsung L170 will be available during Q1 2008, although no pricing information is currently available.

You Had Me At EVDO

By: Russell Snapper

I have been having too much fun, so now is the time to get a little technical. The ironic thing is that today’s more technical comments are about technology that is meant to allow people to have a lot of fun on their mobile phones and waste tons of productive time just watching movies and TV from their phone. We have come full circle. Cell phones originally were developed to allow people to be more productive and now they will allow people to screw around anytime, anywhere. That is progress!

What Is EVDO?

EVDO is short for “Evolution, Data Only” although sometimes referred to as “Evolution, Data Optimized”. EVDO is a highly adaptive standard for wireless broadband that has been introduced to improve the performance of 3rd generation, 3G, mobile Internet access.

Wireless broadband has its obvious advantages over standard, hard wire broadband connections and the most pertinent of these advantages is the mobility of the broadband device. By using wireless Internet connections it has been possible to access the Internet using not only notepad computers but also cellular phones and other mobile devices.

The Advantages Of EVDO.

While mobile Internet access has progressed, the existing standards do have limitations. The bandwidth is limited and subsequently only comparatively small amounts of data can be transmitted to end-users without a loss of performance and quality. EVDO is unique in its approach to try and counteract this. Complex mathematical formulas are used in order to assign a unique signature to every mobile device. Once this device sends a signal requesting data transmission, the signature is applied to the signal and the altered message is sent. The receiver uses the inverse of the equation to convert the signal back again. EVDO also breaks data down into smaller packages of information and sends these packages separately. In essence this means that the bandwidth usage from any single device is cut down massively, allowing for many other users to gain high speed Internet access through any mobile device. It also means that in total less information needs to be sent. Without the use of EVDO, mobile devices struggle to gain the bandwidth they require in order to seamlessly log onto websites, especially if those sites have a lot of data to send. With EVDO this basically becomes a thing of the past and millions of people on their cell phones can access the same sites at the same time with little or no effect.

EVDO Performance.

EVDO can potentially produce a 2.4-megabit throughput. This is as powerful as a great many American DSL broadband connections found in people’s homes. Of course, because EVDO is truly wireless and portable it doesn’t matter where you are, you can access the Internet on your cell phone, your notepad or any mobile device without fear of poor quality.

The Existing Technology.

EVDO has been introduced to compete with existing wireless Internet technology called W-CDMA. However, W-CDMA requires a permanent path to be created between receiver and transmitter, unnecessarily using vast amounts of the available bandwidth. EVDO does not require this because it creates packages and sends the information in smaller parts. One of the big advantages of introducing EVDO, though, is that it uses exactly the same frequencies as existing methods, meaning there would be no structural change required to establish a usable network.

EVDO Service Providers In America.

Korea and America are leading the way in introducing EVDO to personal users and several services in the US are already operating several pricing and limit plans in order to allow users to easily access an effective Internet connection over their cell phone. Amp’d is one of the more recent plans to enter the market and with a service costing $15 per month for an all-inclusive EVDO package, they look to be leading the way in pricing as well. The Amp’d service provides a wide range of MTV provided channels and media for you to download, if this is the package you choose, and there is sure to be something for everyone’s tastes. Verizon and Sprint also offer EVDO capable phones, which could be worth the look if you are looking for something more than the ‘extreme’ entertainment channels that Ampd Mobile offers.

By the way, you can purchase the same Amp’d Mobile Phones through Dealking.com at the same or cheaper prices, but also receive $25 cash back. Check it out at dealking.com.

SmartPhone Comparison - Samsung BlackJack vs. Cingular 8525

Sony Ericsson W880i: super-charged musical mobility.

by Bryan Gian

The Sony Ericsson W880i is a simple candy-bar shaped handset with a 1.8 inch large TFT based screen that can produce more than 262k vibrant and accurate colours. The handset is currently available in two colour solutions - Flame Black and Steel Silver. The Walkman logo and presence of iconic orange colour in the design schemes of both the variants gives away the handset's immense music playing prowess derived from the on board Walkman Media player v2.0

Being a top class Walkman phone, the Sony Ericsson W880i has little to prove about its music playing capabilities. The upgraded Walkman media player is compatible with almost all popular media formats. One can enjoy his music on the built in loudspeakers, on the standard headphones provided with the kit, any other headset via the handset's 3.5mm audio jack or on a wireless Bluetooth stereo headset. The Sony Ericsson W880i's internal memory pool is about 16 Mb which seems paltry for a music phone with such capabilities. Hence, its manufacturers have included an 1GB external M2 memory card in a standard pack. The 3G handset is capable of making and receiving video calls across supported networks and has a separate VGA camera for that purpose. Primary camera module of the Sony Ericsson W880i is 2.0 megapixel for instant capture and quick share of pictures and videos.
