The phone

Filed under: Phones

I have been keeping up with most iPhone stuff cause I am fairly interested in getting one. I was going to get one for a business line but don’t think I would really use more than about twenty percent of its capabilities. I have looked at telephones and cordless phones but don’t find them to be as convenient. So, for work it will be a regular cell, most likely as cheap as I can get. Probably just go with the free ones most phone companies offer, as I don’t think I really would need much more than that. There might be a few features I would need for a business line, but about the only one I can think of off the top of my head is an answering machine or service. I have considered call logging but that doesn’t make too much sense for what I want to use the phone for.

However, I am still very interested in picking up the new iPhone 3GS soon as I get my new job bringing in some more cash. I heard, recently, that they are having problems with overheating on the phones, though. That kind of sucks. I don’t think apple has really said anything about it yet. At least nothing really official. There are some other neat things I have come across for the phone also. There is now an application for getting Sirius/xm radio on your phone, you can download books from Amazon and a couple of other major bookstores and you can now take video with the new phone. Plus you can edit it and it has the landscape keyboard in most of its applications now. That is a great thing! If you haven’t used it, you should give it a try. I was using my friends just earlier after trying to hold a text conversation on my currently phone and it was like somebody reaching down and handing you a glass of water in the middle of the desert. Huge difference when I was texting. Huge. Someday, right. Ah, well going to go take a look and see if there is anything new in apps for the phone.

Phones with tv.

Filed under: Hmmm

Geez, this week seems to be all about phones. Not purposely, but that seems to be what is on my mind the last few days. I mentioned before about cash for mobile phones and was wondering if anybody has any experience with it? I am thinking about it still, but not sure. Most of my friends tend to just dump the things or give them to those charity drive things. No big deal, I was just curious about it as I have run into it a few times recently. It would probably be a good idea if you need a bit of extra cash and had a few old mobiles running around somewhere, maybe even just lying around.

I had a friend mention mobile tv to me as something I should consider when getting my personal phone, but the iPhone (which if you don’t know is what I want) already allows for tv and other fun things. Speaking of fun things, anybody see the article about how application developers are excited about the new things and capabilities introduced to the iPhone 3GS? My friend is happy about the compass, but I am not that big on it. I figure if I ever don’t know where I am or where I am going I am probably having fun. The camera stuff for the new version is supposed to be pretty neat, I have yet to play with one. I am pretty set on the personal phone I want when I take advantage of the upgrade eligibility but as I said earlier this week I still have no idea what I want to do for a business line. I was evening considering not bothering with it and just using my personal phone but some friends suggested that would be a bad idea. It is something to consider but they are probably right.
