Skinomi TechSkin - Screen Protector Shield for T-Mobile HTC G2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The protector applies nicely if the instructions are followed. When I first peeled mine off of the backing, it had striations that looked like the adhesive had not been applied uniformly. However, these disappeared along with other streaks in a little over 24 hours. I did have one spot that seems to have a trapped particle that was not apparent before the setup dried, but unless the screen is dark (off) it is not noticable.
I applied this to my G2 that also has a case protector and there were no interference issues. The case overlaps the edge of the phone and should hopefully protect the edges of this screen shield from getting peeled up when placed in my pocket over time.
My only gripe, as others have noted, is the "lifetime warranty". The customer pays shipping both ways, and also a "restocking fee" if I correctly understand the terms on web site. I can understand the company desiring you to return your old protector to minimize fraud, but why on earth would a used screen protector get "restocked"???
By the time you have paid shipping and fees - you can just buy another on here for $10.
This is a good product, I wish the manufacturer would clean up their marketing ethics (is that an oxymoron?) because in my opinion it would improve their overall reputation. Then again, maybe I'm not their target demographic.

Seidio Ultimate Screen Guard for Motorola DROID X/Droid X 2 - 2 Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this 2-pack of screen protectors based on the reviews here. When I got my Droid X from Verizon I picked up some of their screen protectors to hold me over. The Verizon ones were more opaque and only covered the display area of the screen, not the surrounding surfaces.
The Seidio protector was easy to install and covers the entire face of my Droid X thus offering more protection. The Seidio protectors are also crystal clear and make the display really pop. Unfortunately, they produce a ton of glare and are way more susceptible to fingerprints and smudging. Keep that in mind when buying these.

ZAGG APLIPHONE4GSS invisibleSHIELD for Apple iPhone 4 - 1 Pack - Screen Protector - Retail Packaging - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was a huge fan of the InvisibleSHIELD for iPhone 3 series phones. When properly applied, they were awesome: crystal clear, completely stationary (no sliding, no peeling, no emerging bubbles), and shock resistant.
The iPhone 4 era InvisibleSHIELD, however, suffers from a serious manufacturing defect: roller lines. The machine rollers in their manufacturing process are leaving perfectly straight vertical lines on InvisibleSHIELDs coming off the line these days. You won't notice it at first; it will only become apparent once the shield has had 24 hours to dry and the bubbles have all disappeared.
You will then find perfectly straight, well-defined "rainbow lines" on the shield that refract light, particularly when your phone is showing a white screen. By holding the phone and shield up to light and turning them back and forth to see the protected screen at different angles, you will notice that there is a line running the length of the shield from rollers during manufacturing.
I have always applied InvisibleSHIELD protectors for family and friends and can do a perfect job each time and every time. This is not installation error; you can hold a ruler against the lines and see that they are perfectly straight and of precise width.
Of the six iPhone 4 protectors I've installed from Zagg, FOUR have had "rainbow lines" in them, one of them with TWO perfectly straight parallel "rainbow lines" running the length of the screen about a centimeter apart. (Search Google for the term "rainbow lines"; it's a well-known problem.) Zagg won't honor their lifetime warranty for affected protectors, instead saying it's a normal artifact of their manufacturing process (while some other reps will just tell you you've done a lousy job installing the protector).
So now it's "normal" for Zagg InvisibleSHIELD users to have prominent lines that look like screen defects running vertically across the screens of their iPhones. So much for "invisible."
In fact, they're extremely distracting and I'm currently looking for a similar wet-applied, soft-protector alternative that has better quality control.
Until Zagg acknowledges and fixes this quality control problem, I can't recommend dropping $20 on a product that will leave you wishing you could still read your pristine iPhone screen. It's a shame, because during the iPhone 3/3GS years this was the ULTIMATE in iPhone screen protection.
No longer.

Palm Treo 700p - Smartphone - CDMA - QWERTY / touch screen - Palm OS - Sprint Nextel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I often hear debates over who has the better smartphone --- Palm or BlackBerry??
I have two lines with Sprint PCS, with my personal line having a Treo 700p and my business line connected to a BlackBerry 8703
First off - I love both phones! However, they are very different, particularly in their strengths and weaknesses --- my review is based upon how well each smartphone handles the following things -
- PHONE FUNCTIONS
- EMAIL
- INTERNET
- PHOTOGRAPHS
- MULTIMEDIA (Music & Movies)
- SPEAKERPHONE
- BLUETOOTH
- COMPUTER SYNCHRONIZATION
- MISC - (Text Messaging, System Stability, PDA Functions)
Okay..... here we go -
1. PHONE FUNCTIONS
For me, the Treo 700p has much better phone functions --- this is mostly because of their touch screen capabilities
When I wanna dial a number off of the Treo, I immediately start spelling the person's name on the keyboard, and I immediately go to my phone book, where I can touch the number I want to dial
The BlackBerry is a bit more complicated, as I cannot touch the screen --- therefore, I'm limited to dialing based upon scrolling to the right name and then pressing the number
Overall, the BlackBerry isn't bad ---- however, I know a lot of people like to use their phone while driving their car (with a bluetooth headset on) or like to use the phone in situations that require a quick reaction.... if you wanna use your phone in the car, then the Treo is the best choice, mainly because the touch screen allows one to go to any name and dial immediately --- as funny as this sounds, you can really only use a BlackBerry, for phone calls, in situations when you can give it total devotion
With that said.... if you are not dialing numbers while driving in the car, then the BlackBerry's phone functions are fine.... they take a bit longer to get going, due to scrolling.... but they get the job done just fine (and yes, you can use the keyboard to look up names in the address book, as well)
2. EMAIL
Okay - this is really the only category where the BlackBerry really beats up the Treo 700 and beats it up GOOD!!!
First off, email on the Treo 700p is no totally useless.... the Treo comes with VersaMail, a program that handles all POP, IMAP, and other email accounts with ease..... there's also a program available called CHATTER EMAIL for the Treo, which makes the Treo's email functions even faster and more versatile
However, the big problem with Treo email is that one has to download the email --- in other words, you have to log onto ChatterMail or VersaMail and wait for a few mins as the program downloads all of the email you've received --- now you can configure a program like ChatterMail to be constantly downloading your email, so one receives it immediately, however this is a BAD choice because such a function basically keeps the Treo on a 'constant' phone call, as it downloads email --- in turn, your cell phone mins get eaten up, battery life goes down quickly, and phone calls are missed do to your phone being occupied on the 'other line'
THe BlackBerry, on the other hand, downloads all of your emails immediately, without draining the battery, without interrupting phone calls, and without eating up your cell phone mins --- my BlackBerry can download my emails more immediately than my own laptop
In addition, the BlackBerry 8703 keyboard is absolutely awesome --- so I much more prefer to write emails over my BlackBerry than I do over my Treo 700p
In summary on this one, the BlackBerry is clearly much better with email.... and if email is the most important thing to you, then go BlackBerry for sure! --- however, the Treo 700p holds its own with email, provided that you are willing to wait and download your emails over something like Chatter or Versamail
3. INTERNET
Both phones handle internet similarly, however, I would give the edge to the Treo 700p mostly because of the TOUCHSCREEN, as it allows one to navigate webpages with more freedom
That said, the BlackBerry is fien too, just a bit more limited
Both phones can connect your laptop to the internet, depending on your cell service --- I've been very pleased with the Treo's ability to connect my laptop to the internet, provided that I use its USB cable with the program USB MODEM ----- I don't have as much experience doing this with my BlackBerry, but I have heard that the results are favorable when doing so
EVDO speeds on both phones are very good
4. PHOTOGRAPHS
If pictures are important, then the Treo 700p is the CLEAR winner
The Treo 700p comes with a great multimedia program, fueld by an embedded Kinoma player, which can allow you to show off pictures with pretty good ease
I'm a Mac user, so I use MarkSpace to get my pics onto my Treo and I'm very pleased with the Treo's ability to show off pictures --- the resolution and quality are shown off very well
I have yet to get pictures onto my BlackBerry though --- I have seen other friends of mine show off pictures on their BlackBerry, but the program does not seem as sophisticated or as user friendly as Palm's
Clearly, the Treo 700p is made to handle pics, whereas the BlackBerry is lagging in this area
5. MULTIMEDIA (Movies/Music)
I am actually DEEPLY impressed with how well the Treo 700p can handle multimedia, both music and movies
I am a filmmaker myself --- with the use of the program, KINOMA PRODUCER, I have compressed many of my short films to small files, for the purposes of showing them off of my Treo to some friends --- the Treo 700p plays the files excellently, with sound coming out of the speakerphone and the resolutions of the films looking excellent!
Even better is that the Treo 700p can handle MP4's and MPEG4's, allowing me to encode the best resolution and best sounding files onto my Treo ---- sadly, the Treo 700p cannot play songs downloaded from the iTunes Music Store, as those are copyright protected, but it will play anything that one encodes with my own devices
The music/mp3 player on the Treo is also excellent, playing tunes through the speakerphone, or through the headphones that the Treo comes with
As far as I can tell, the BlackBerry 8703 does not have any multimedia functions, so good luck getting an MP4 or MPEG4 onto this thing ---- however, Blackberry is working on this, so future BlackBerry's will have this capability --- but if playing movies and music is important to you, then the Treo 700p is the only choice in this department
Lastly - important to include that the Treo 700p also has a built in camera and a built in camcorder --- and the camcorder movies taken on the Treo are actually pretty good quality! --- the BlackBerry 8703 has no camera and no camcorder
6. SPEAKERPHONE
The Speakerphone on both phones is excellent and easy to use, with both being loud and clear
If speakerphone is your main buying point, then you couldn't go wrong with either phone
7. BLUETOOTH
Bluetooth is very solid on both phones
I've been especially pleased with the Treo 700p, whose BlueTooth capabilities are much more solid and stable than the old Treo 650p
The BlackBerry seems to have few problems connecting with my bluetooth headset and other devices ---- I would say that both phones boast great bluetooth capabilities
8. COMPUTER SYNCHRO
It's important to note that I have a MAC and I sync all my phones off of my Mac
For the Treo 700p, I use MarkSpace's Missing Sync, as Palm's software is terrible
For the BlackBerry, BB has launched free Mac-Syncing software, that can be found on their website
Syncing any smartphone off of a Mac is never an easy thing and I've not been too happy with the process
With that said, I'm pleased with MarkSpace's Missing Sync as, for the most part, the program does a good job of syncing my Treo's contacts and calendars, as well as doing photos and music --- unfortunately, the syncing process seems to take forever (usually at least 35 mins) but syncing once a week isn't a big deal
I was pleased with how well the BlackBerry synced to my Mac, however, none of the email addresses for my contacts have transferred --- so there are some kinks to work out, and it could be that I'm just not syncing it right
Main point - both phones sync fine with the Mac, but expect some minor probs --- however, for what its worth, I'm pretty satisified overall
9. MISC - (Text Messaging, System Stability, PDA Functions)
It is important to note that the BlackBerry is MUCH MORE stable than the Treo 700p --- I have had my BlackBerry shut down on me once in the last few months, whereas the Treo 700p probably shuts down once a week
So if stability is important, than the BlackBerry is the way to go
The calendar and address book functions of both phones are excellent, but I would say that the Treo 700p's PDA functions are a 'bit' better
Both phones are fine with text messaging, as well
--- CONCLUSION ---
If I could only use ONE of these phones, then I would definitely pick the Treo 700p --- the reasons why are because the multimedia functions very much impress me, as I like to store some pics and movies on there
In addition, the phone functions are easier to navigate and the touchscreen is something that I couldn't live without on a daily basis ---...Read more›

LG 225 Prepaid Phone with Double Minutes for Life (Tracfone) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have this phone with a different service, so I'm reviewing the phone itself, not the service.
The pros:
* The phone is a good size, small enough to comfortably fit in your pocket, but large enough to see what you're doing with it.
* Battery life is good - I've had it last through an hour-long phone call then a few hours of instant messaging.
* It's sturdy - after almost two years or abuse, there is not a scratch or a crack on it.
The cons:
* The volume does not go up high enough. I have good hearing, but I cannot hear the ringer on maximum volume unless I am somewhere fairly quiet. I also frequently cannot hear what people are saying to me during phone calls. The volume does not adjust based on external noise levels.
* It doesn't have bluetooth. (I don't know why Amazon lists bluetooth headsets as accessories.)
* It doesn't have a place to enter physical addresses or birthdays for your contacts.
* Finally, LG has an issue where buttons get "stuck" in one position. (For example, if you were pushing the left arrow it will sometimes continue going left after you stop pressing the button.) I do not think it is a physical issue with the buttons, but maybe an electrical or software issue. I have had this problem with this phone and also with a LG television. It doesn't happen very often, mostly when playing games. Overall, I would say that this is a tolerable phone, but not one that I would recommend, due to the low volume. If you live/work in a very quiet area, have good hearing, and simply want a sturdy phone with a good battery, this may work for you.

The perfect complement to Tracfone prepaid wireless service, the sleek, lightweight LG 225 offers an affordable way to stay in touch with family and friends across town and around the globe via voice communication and text messaging. And this phone offers Double Minutes for the life of the phone. That means when you add a 60, 120 or 200-minute card, or a 1 Year of Service Airtime Card (which adds 400 minutes), you'll receive double the airtime for the same low price. Packaged within a sleek, black clamshell, the 225's VGA camera lets you take color photos, show them off on your rich color display, or send them to friends via MMS. With its full-duplex speakerphone you can talk hands-free while on-the-go.
Tracfone Service Tracfone provides nationwide prepaid wireless service using the nation's leading cellular providers to create a national footprint covering 99 percent of the U.S. population. This gives you connectivity everywhere cellular service is available. You can use your Tracfone across the U.S. and if you move, you can relocate your wireless number with just a phone call.
You can buy bundles of minutes (which must be used within a set time limit of between 90 to 365 days) from the Tracfone web site on your home PC or directly from your phone's web browser. For example, if you purchase a block of 120 minutes of airtime, you'll need to use that within 90 days of your first use. When you buy additional airtime minutes, your Tracfone service is extended automatically by another 90 days. Tracfone also offers international long distance calling to over 60 international destinations (including Argentina, Brazil, China, Mexico, most European countries, and many more), which deducts the same amount of minutes from your phone as when you make calls to destinations within the U.S.
This phone ships with a number of handy Tracfone services, including free voice mail, free caller ID, and free call waiting. And perhaps most importantly, the integrated TracFone Airtime Balance Display shows you how much airtime you've used and how much is left, so you can control your costs. You must activate your cell phone before use either by calling the Tracfone toll-free number or going to the Tracfone web site.
Phone Features Offering quad-band connectivity for global roaming, the LG 225 clamshell phone has a stubby antenna and dual LCD screens. The internal display measures 1.5 inches and has a 128 x 128-pixel resolution and support for 65K colors. The external monochrome screen has a fixed color background, and it measures 96 x 64 pixels. It displays date, time, battery life, signal strength, and caller ID phone number (though no photo ID). You can also view the last 20 dialed/received calls for easy redialing.
The internal phonebook can hold up to 255 contact entries (in addition to 250 contacts stored on your SIM card), and each contact has fields for three phone numbers and an email address. You can assign callers to groups and pair them with a picture for photo caller ID (viewed only on the internal screen). The phone features eight speed dial entries as well as a default voicemail speed dial.
The VGA camera has three resolution options (640 x 480, 320 x 240 and 160 x 120 pixels) and it offers a 4x digital zoom, multi-shot capability (allowing you to take 9 pictures in fast succession), brightness and white balance controls, and a self timer. You'll be able to store up to 75 photos on the phone's internal memory at the lowest resolution setting, or seven photos at the highest setting.
Support for basic text messaging and multimedia messaging (MMS) are built into the 225. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. The T9 predictive text entry technology is built into the unit, which makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
Other features include:
Tracfone Airtime Balance Display shows you how much airtime you've used and how much is left
Multi-lingual support (English, French, Spanish)
Personal organizer (calendar with scheduler, alarm clock, notepad)
Calculator, world clock, unit converter, tip calculator
Preloaded games
WAP 2.0 browser
Full duplex speakerphone
8 unique ringtones with vibrate and silent modes

Vital Statistics The LG 225 weighs 3.26 ounces and measures 1.89 x 3.36 x 0.9 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3 hours of talk time, and up to 8 days of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies.

HTC HD7 Windows Phone (T-Mobile) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Had this phone for a few days now, not going to blab on in too much detail, all I will say is don't listen to all the bad reviews out there; try it for yourself!
I'll split a few of my favourite things up into bullet points:
- The phone is incredibly quick booting.
- The UI is beautiful and so smooth to use in comparison to other smartphones.

- The build quality is solid and it feels like a good phone in your hand with the metal surround instead of cheap plastic.
- The apps already on the store are of good quality and run very well on the phone, expecting a load more on the US release.
- Skydrive integration with the Office Hub and your photo's is very useful allowing super quick upload to the cloud.
- The one touch camera launch from the lock screen is very handy & the flash is super bright with double LED.
A few people have mentioned it doesn't have an AMOLED screen but for me the screen seems very good quality and is very nice to use with it being 4.3" it gives plenty to look at but this is just my preference.
Only real bad points at the moment are the lack of apps which should be fixed by the US launch as mentioned above and a few little buggy issues but nothing major as im guessing these will be fixed ASAP.

One of the world's first smartphones using the Windows Phone 7 operating system, the HTC HD7 for T-Mobile pairs rich mobile multimedia features with a 4.3-inch touch display--the largest screen available on a Windows Phone 7 handset in the U.S. Its size not only gives you an extra-large virtual keyboard, but also allows you to enjoy your favorite videos and movies in cinematic style. It's also powered by a blazing-fast Qualcomm 1 GHz Snapdragon processor for a fast mobile data experience.

The HTC HD7 delivers advanced phone features including GPS functionality with access to turn-by-turn navigation from TeleNav GPS Navigator, 16 GB of internal memory, a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with dual LED flash, and HD 720p video recording. Other features include Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking, Bluetooth for hands-free devices and stereo music streaming, and a 1230 mAh battery for extended use while on the go.

Enabled for T-Mobile's high-speed 3G network, the HTC HD7 offers fast data delivery and an enhanced Web-browsing experience that lets you connect quickly to social networking sites. And the 3G-enabled HTC HD7 will benefit from the enhanced speeds of T-Mobile's upgraded HSPA+ network, which is being rolled out nationwide to reach up to 200 million people by the end of the year and offers speeds close to 4G connectivity (read more about HSPA+ below).

The Power of Windows Phone 7
The Windows Phone 7 operating system has been carefully crafted to help you get more done in fewer steps with a unique Hub and Tile interface. Instead of the common icon displays on the screen, Windows Phone 7 uses Live Tiles, which allow you to find out what's going on, what's happening next, and what you've missed without having to open an application.

Hubs bring together a related set of applications, services and content into a single view to simplify common tasks. Your contacts, music, games, and work can be shared, synced, and accessed virtually wherever you happen to be. Windows Phone 7 also integrates with many popular Microsoft services such as Xbox LIVE, Windows Live, Bing, and Zune.

Live Tiles on the Start screen dynamically update, so there is no need to open an app, and you decide the Tiles you want and where you want them. The Start screen includes the People Hub, which constantly refreshes with status updates from your favorite friends. The Me Tile lets you update all your social media sites, like Facebook--just type once and post everywhere with ease. Other Tiles allow you to quickly see new e-mails arrive in your inbox, play games via Xbox LIVE, and access recent photos and albums to view as well share with others. Swipe up to view more Tiles like music, Microsoft Office, and more.

In addition to Internet Explorer 8 for full HTML Web browsing, the HTC HD7 also includes fully integrated Microsoft Exchange e-mail and calendar as well as the Microsoft Office Hub, which offers mobile versions of popular productivity programs, including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint, OneNote, and SharePoint Workspace Mobile.

With Windows Phone 7 you can stay on top of your inbox and quickly cut through the clutter to see only unread, urgent, or flagged messages. Move or delete messages in bulk, and respond to meeting invites right from your inbox with Microsoft Outlook Mobile. Streamlined account setup works with Windows Live, Google, Yahoo!, and other popular providers. Windows Phone 7 also combines your work and personal calendars in a single, color-coded view, making it easier to spot conflicts and manage your life.

Microsoft Office Mobile is another reason you won't miss your PC when you're away from your desk. Windows Phone 7 has mobile versions of Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint on hand for reviewing or editing on the go. Notes in OneNote Mobile--grocery lists, meeting memos, spontaneous musings--can sync wirelessly to the web and include voice clips and pictures. SharePoint Workspace Mobile makes it easier to collaborate with your coworkers when you're out and about.

You'll also be able to personalize your phone with the Marketplace Hub. Read reviews, check out ratings, and test out content before you buy.

Entertainment To Go
With the new HTC HD7, customers can access their favorite movies, TV shows, games, music, and more on a large 4.3-inch screen. The HTC HD7's top pre-installed entertainment applications include the following:

Netflix for streaming thousands of movies and TV shows for Netflix members to watch instantly on the HTC HD7's large, crisp screen.

T-Mobile Family Room

T-Mobile Services High-Speed Data Connectivity via T-Mobile's 3G Network
In addition to its quad-band GSM connectivity, this phone is also compatible with T-Mobile's UMTS/HSDPA 3G network, which operates on the 1700/2100 MHz AWS spectrum. This phone is designed to automatically connect to the best available network (3G or GSM/GPRS/EDGE) to provide faster data speeds when accessing the Web.

In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on T-Mobile's EDGE network (which stands for "Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution"). This high-speed, mobile data and Internet access technology is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services (with average data speeds between 75-135Kbps), including full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and e-mail on the go.

While this phone is optimized for use with T-Mobile's high-speed 3G network, many of its functions will also work well on the moderate-speed EDGE network. If you plan to access the Internet extensively on your phone, 3G network coverage may serve you best.


T-Mobile's New, Expanding Super-Fast HSPA+ Network
As of June, 2010, T-Mobile has upgraded its traditional 3G network to HSPA+ in 25 major metropolitan areas across the U.S., and it plans to continue rolling out this network upgrade to over 100 metropolitan cities and up to 185 million people by the end of 2010. HSPA+ provides our fastest data speeds, up to 3 times faster than AT&T and Verizon's standard 3G networks, while allowing simultaneous voice and data capabilities for the ultimate wireless voice and data experience.

HSPA+ enabled areas will enjoy 4G-like speeds, with a theoretical capability of up to 21 Mbps peak download speeds (and typical download speeds averaging between 5 and 8 Mbps).

While this 3G-enabled mobile phone doesn't offer HSPA+ compatibility, it can benefit from enhanced speeds when connecting to the HSPA+ network today.

Windows Phone 7 featuring Xbox LIVE
