Blackberry Storm 3 hopefully set for release

After a lot deliberation, and also after many rumours RIM have apparently verified that there is gonna be a Blackberry Storm 3. All we’ve got to say is that if there is one, let us pray that it really is much better than the additional two phones which got released, the Storm and Storm 2. Both of which were extremely naff. So for those out there who have loyally stood by the Storm handsets, we can merely pray for your sake that this recent mobile will probably be something worth writing home about.

Blackberry Storm 3 hopefully set for release. There has been rumours concerning the Storm 3′s existence and from the beginning individuals have always been a tad suspect concerning this and following the latest rumours that were circling the smart-phone is going to be running on the same Os that the eagerly awaited Blackberry PlayBook tablet device shall be running on. It is the QNX OS and it’s recently been placed on the new handset so that, they pray, it’ll get to the same levels that the Blackberry PlayBook is set to get to, which you can’t fault them for as the last mobile phones, the Storm and Storm 2 never really achieved the levels that they had been forecasted to get to.

This, is not at all confirmed, as of yet still simply a rumour however I suppose, for any of you Blackberry enthusiasts around the ideal thing to do would be to wait and see what exactly comes of the rumour and to see if it is actually true, or it might be partially true but some elements of it not true. Who knows…?

Apparently, a lot more rumours for you, the even less spoke about Storm 4 will be based on augmented reality; it’ll have a 5 mega-pixel camera, accelerometer, digital compass and GPS. So whoever has thought this up, maybe has a tiny screw loose because there is no solid word that the Storm 3 will even be released, in fact a few months ago there was even rumours that RIM were panning any future releases of the Storm phone by sending out a message to everyone linked to the handset that they will “not pursue this device further” or in full they supposedly sent out the following statement: “Thank you for your hard work and diligence in preparing your application to support the upcoming hardware refresh of the BlackBerry Storm2 smart-phone (model number 9570, codename R027). Regrettably, RIM has decided not to pursue this device further and has ended the program.”

This to me shows that they’re panning the whole thing, you never know, if they do release it maybe they’ll be available on some discounted Blackberry Storm 3 deals?!

Dual Mode VOIP App for iPhone

February 13, 2010 By Lovely Leave a Comment

Viagra online

Innovation seems to be never ending and when it’s the telecom, VOIP apps are all the rage for desktop systems as they can save you big money over using your land line for long distance calls. VOIP apps for mobile phones can do the same for when you have access via Wi-Fi and want to make a call using the VOIP app instead of your cellular carrier to try and cut down on minute usage.

Specifically when looking for iphone VOIP apps you want to consider one that has dual mode where you can make calls via your Wi-Fi or over your cellular network if no Wi-Fi access is available and this is where Line2 comes in.

Line2 adds a 2nd number of your choice to your iPad or iPhone and allows you to use that number for incoming and outgoing calls on whichever network is available. This can save you money by cutting down on your plan usage allowing you to make your calls while on your home or a nearby Wi-Fi network.

This iPhone app makes your Apple smart, the phone will itself scan / detect the way available to make the cheapest call – and you have nothing to worry how to do, it also switch the active calls between WiFi and 3G itself if / when you change the networks, and if in your area the AT&T phone reception is bad than this little VOIP app is always good for you

In addition this iPod Touch voip or iPad application is one of the only (if not the Only) VOIP application that allows you to do up to 20 person conferencing which currently isn’t supported by any other VOIP service.

Currently the app is $14.95 per month which is 1/2 the cost of some other VOIP services, but you get many more features and I encourage you to learn more. Land lines are becoming extinct and this application allows you to replace your land line with your iPhone so that you can use it over your Wi-Fi with VOIP calls when you are at home, and the number goes with you when you are on the network. This is also ideal for giving your iPhone a second phone number, one you can use for business or friends only so that your primary number stays private (or reverse).

Multifarious roles of mobilephones

November 5, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Basic role of a mobile phone is to make and receive calls, identical to that of a conventional telephone. Ever since its inception, mobile phone evolved to various forms and features. In the case of conventional telephone growth was a slow but steady process. It was invented in 1875AD. Progressively it developed with innovative features and it was only in 1990s a compact telephone with memory came into existence. Mobile phone was inducted for public consumption in 1980s, but in a decade it recorded fantastic growth and continued the pace of progress even today. The pace is faster than that of its predecessor.

Mobile phones play multifarious roles today. We cannot list the exact number of features and applications exhaustively in this context. A latest report reveals a new role played by the mobile phone in UK. Everyone has to store a phone number in the mobile phone, titled ‘ICE’ which stands for ‘In Case of Emergency’. If a person meet with an accident or fall ill in a public place, the onlookers can easily find out the ICE number of that individual from the mobile phone and convey the message for emergency medical aid. The concept is the brainchild of paramedic Bob Brotchie of East Anglia Ambulance Service. This is of course a good example of an emergency service rendered by the all pervasive mobile phone. There are numerous applications which are universally known and many others like ‘ICE’ which are adopted in specific regions. The latest Indian experience is another example. The Unique Identity Authority of India (UIDAI) which is entrusted with the responsibility to provide unique identification number to each Indian citizen in the next few years, propose to use the mobile phone to cross check the identity of an individual which in turn can avoid duplication of records.

As for the universally accepted features, we have well known utilities like camera, GPS and games to point out a few. Every year additional features are being incorporated in the mobile phones. Today it is possible to resort to stock market trading and to peruse newspapers through the mobile phones. Farmers are bestowed with unique services like weather forecast, market prices of agro products and information about pest attacks. The service providers are working with active co-operation of the Government agencies to develop comprehensive data base to help the rural population and farmers. Among plethora of uses, it is now possible to shut down the personal computer using mobile phone as a remote control. Many people in the metro cities use mobile phone cameras to locate their parked cars in the overcrowded parking lots. Mobile phone now functions as a modem to connect internet. Booking travel tickets and video recording are also possible using mobile phones. Alarm clock and FM radio are well known features of the modern mobile phones. In extending medical services and rescue operations during natural or man-made disasters, the role of mobile phones is marvelous.

Orange gets iPhone in UK

September 29, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment

Orange has secured a deal with Apple to sell iPhone on its network in UK.

The deal ends an exclusive arrangement between UK network operator O2 and the Californian phone maker, which has been in place since 2007.

Orange said its customers would be able to buy the phone “later this year” but did not specify a date or pricing.

However, analysts said that in markets where there was already competition there was little difference in handset prices but small variations in tariffs.

“There’s not a lot they can do – they are subsidising the hardware, so they can’t afford to do much on the tariff,” said Carolina Milanesi of Gartner.

“You may see a £30 per month tariff versus £35, but I would not expect anything more.”

Data jam

Orange recently revealed plans to merge its UK network with Deutsche Telekom’s T-Mobile to create a business with 28.4 million customers.

If given the go-ahead, it would be the UK’s largest provider, overtaking Telefonica’s O2, with about 37% of the mobile market.
