ATTENTION New Potential Verizon iPhone Customers!!!!!!

I think this video says it all. Gotta love CNET.

First Impressions: Droid Pro

Well guys, this is it. The Droid Pro world phone. Besides the global phone capabilities, what do you think about it?

Droid Pro "DROID PRO is a new, powerful, stronger and faster solution designed to meet both business and personal needs. The first Android™-based smartphone optimized for business use, DROID PRO is also a global-ready Android smartphone, allowing customers to enjoy wireless voice service in more than 220 countries and data coverage in more than 200 countries." - Via Android Central

My take: When I first see this device I ask myself, is Motorola trying to fit in with the BlackBerry users or trying a different approach toward the business world. I must say it looks like a good stab they took at it but honestly, the business users I come in contact with like the themed touch screen keyboard capability with the Android devices where BlackBerry failed with the capacitive touch screen on the Storm and Storm 2 which have not been favored as phones you don't plan on punching out long emails with. The main plus that I liked and that business users liked was the feel of the keys on the keyboard. The first thing i want to do when i put my hands on this phone is feel the keyboard. Not many manufacturers can perfect the ergonomics when it comes to mobile keyboards because it's all where your timber lay.....almost as if thumbs have a mind of their own but you have to keep them happy too!

CNET'S first impressions:

"he Motorola Droid Pro is Motorola's attempt at a business-centric smartphone. It ships with Android 2.2 and it boasts Exchange security features as well as complex password support and device management, like the ability to remotely wipe the phone."

According to Android Central

Pricing and Availability

"DROID PRO will be available at http://www.verizonwireless.com/ and in Verizon Wireless Communications Stores in the coming weeks. Pricing will be announced closer to launch."

If it has the same feel as the BlackBerry keyboard, I think this could be a prize winner. Keep an eye on this one if you have your stock on BlackBerry.

Jawbone 2 : My Official Hands On

Who would've thought I would ha

ve the Jawbone 2 right now. Well, it all only happened by inconvinience and a good discount.

I have always been a fan of Cnet and products that have the editor's pick. Honestly, it feels great to know you have a product that was an editors pick by researching but there are always those that run by the store and pick an item just because it's their favorite color.






Sound
The sound quality is great. I made sure to turn Echo off on my Blackberry so there would be no conflicts with noise cancellation. Also, people on the other line can hear me clearly. I'm a person that hates to repeat things and that is something that I heaven't had to do. I have done my sound test also. I have two 12 inch speakers in my car with two tweerters beside my head. One day I was driving and I decided to turn it up to a point that a regular headset would not perform. The user on the other line heard me just fine and they didn't know I had music on. T

hat sold me that the Jawbone 2 is the ultimate headset for sound cancellation.


Features
The Jawbone has a few features that I should add but not a long list. When the headset is turned on, the Noise Assasin is automatically on so it is best to use all the time. Another feature that I like that my BlueAnts have had is that ability to turn off the blinking light. It's great for when in dark quiet places like the movie theatre. One feature that I do miss from my Blue Ant Z9 is the shirt clip. Most bluetooths don't come with that option but they atleast come with a lanyard hoop so if you want to take it off, keep it somewhere safe. I can say that I truely miss my volume rocker from other headsets. It uses the volume options from your cell phone but you can also turn it up and down using only one button. It's just that some headsets that I have had have the rocker and it makes the volume go higher than the phone would.

Design
The design is really sleek but I felt like something was still missing....buttons। The Jawbone 2 has 2 buttons. Both are hidden so no one can see. There is one button that handle's Noise Assaisin/Volume and one for Answer and hand up. Looking at it made me think it would be hard to distinguish the two but it really wasn't. The nice diamond design and leather hook helps this headset look good for any executive but for plain old Sam, he'll have to get used to quality at its बी

Feel
Even though it may look a tiny bit bulky it was the very lightest on my ear. One complaint I do have is that there are times it may hang out of my ear a bit but my ear may be larger or smaller than others.




All together this headset is the best. Thought it is not for everyone it is without a doubt the easiest to use.

Same keyboard as the Moto v9M Has a similar Nokia front plate

Has the same type of flip as the Sanyo Katana DLX . Also has a similar camera as the Nokia.

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Finally! The new 3G iPhone is now available.

The 3G iPhone released on Friday in which made consumers very eager to buy. When the phone released in the 22 countries that it did it had a drastic response: Long lines. Seems that everyone likes that iPhone. I have been wondering for the longest and now I know. The only improvement to the iPhone is 3G service and a navigation chip embedded. These both were needed indeed but I was hoping for a little more eye candy but I have read that the iPhone will come in colors. The first thing I thought, hmm....rumors......but then chiks digg colors lol. Also, I saved the best for last. This phone cost $199!!!!!

Coolio Themes for Your Blackberry

Blackberry users can sometimes get tired of their same old theme with the same colors, same icons, with limited layouts. Many Blackberry users like me don't like to pay for themes but would like a quality one would find interest in this site. I found a neat site called Nancy Drew's Hot Blackberry Themes .

Guys, I know what you are thinking. The site IS a bit girly.........ok, ALOT girly but you may take interest in some themes also. There's a unique Super Bros Theme.








Anywho, I have to show you my favorite......

Alltel! Poof! BE GONE!

I know you have all heard it already but if not, let me refresh your memory.




"Verizon Wireless has entered into an agreement with Alltel Corporation and Atlantis Holdings LLC, an affiliate of private investment firm TPG Capital and GS Capital Partners, to acquire Alltel Corporation in a cash merger. Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) and Vodafone (NYSE and LSE: VOD).

Under the terms of the agreement, Verizon Wireless will acquire the equity of Alltel for approximately $5.9 billion. Based on Alltel’s projected net debt at closing of $22.2 billion, the aggregate value of the transaction is $28.1 billion." refer to Verizon .

I think this is sort of a sad story for some, a blessing for some, and confusion for some. What's going on in people's minds? For the sad part, some will surely miss the My Circle plan they once had. I hear that Verizon will honor it but my a acquaintance with Verizon and from what I know, Verizon will take it away. For the longest time I heard of Alltel about to be bought out because many companies have been trying to. I have heard that Allltel has been so expensive to buy and now I know why. Alltel was in deep debt. I was almost sure that Alltel was bought out in 2007 and the new company wouldn't go into effect until 2009 but they just bought Alltel's shares....that's all. Read "Alltel shareholders approve private equity buyout" . Ever since the My Circle plan Alltel released, didn't you ever wonder, where is Alltel making their money from? That's waaay too good of a deal! My friend is an Alltel representative that said Verizon wil honor the My Circle plan but see, years ago when my friend worked for Verizon and he always used to tell me how arrogant Verizon was. If Verizon still was the way they were then, Verizon will not give anyone any type of My Circle. BUT, the clientel will be raising up to make Verizon the #1 largest wireless network so, I guess so many customers will have Verizon that you won't even need My Circle because of mobile to mobile usage.

Another sad thing is that many Alltel employees may lose their jobs. Will Verizon close down Alltel stores or will they just change the sign and change the look?

The good thing is that Alltel will be out of debt and Alltel customers will for then on out be handled by Verizon's great customer service team.

I'm the confused customer.I'm an Alltel customer planning on buying a new phone but now in a frozen state of should I? I really want a new phone but will Verizon program it for me so that I will be able to take advantage of Verizon's special features? Verizon does have a program where they will allow you to bring in almost any phone (or any CDMA enabled phone) and make it compatible for the network. Also, I have a Blackberry and I have known Verizon for having a expensive smartphone plan.

Verizon has many great services and the best coverage I have ever seen but it'll cost ya. All very worthy but always research. I had Verizon last year and what I remember most about them is that their text messages and picture messages got to the users right away. One bad thing I did not like was that Verizon had to lock many great features of a phone so that you will pay for their features instead of gaining a cheaper one or a free one. Verizon had the tendency to lock programs, I had the tendency of hacking them. Alltel on the other hand has great service (almost up to par with Verizon) but many Alltel customers receive text messages late or not at all. In many cases I have missed many calls. I know this for sure because my phone will show voice mails and no missed calls. Alltel is a great money saver but maybe it is their time......

According to Verizon.com, this Alltel-Verizon merge will become effective by the end of this
year.
