If you want your cellphones to last longer, Read this and give your utmost concern to these guidelines. Follow these pointers and you won’t go wrong:

  1. Don’t drop it. – Obviously! Don’t even think of slamming it.
  2. Keep it safe. – Like any other electronic gadget, cellphone is very sensitive and needs proper handling. Yes, even in the bathroom. Protect it with a case.
  3. Avoid moisture. – Keep your Cellphones away from liquids. Most phone manufacturers have a mark on the inside of the phone behind the battery that will change color if exposed even slightly to dampness. This also includes saliva. That includes drooling, licking and spitting. Now, if you’re working out.
  4. Extreme heat. Don’t leave your phones in extreme temperature changes.
  5. Avoid the spray bottle. – It’s good to keep your phones clean at all times. But don’t clean it with the use of spray bottle. Use cotton with alcohol at Note: Make sure the phone is turned off before cleaning.
  6. Don’t bag it just that – Inside your bags, especially ladies, have other things like “kikay” kits. Avoid spill out of make-up or any liquids (ex. Lotion, moisturizer, hand sanitizer etc.) into your cellphone especially if pour on the Keypad.
  7. Don’t drain the battery. – If you are one of those people who fully use up the battery’s power before charging,
  8. Protect from theft. – Know the IMEI number of your Cellphone. It would somehow let you block the phone if in case it was stolen. If your handset is way too valuable have it insured. But the best way to protect it is not to give temptations for other people.
  9. Security features. A lot of Cellphone units today has built-in security features that can easy read and understand the manual operation about it. Often, you can password-protect private information, such as your phone’s address book, and restrict outgoing calls.
  10. Check on the Warranty. – Because of the speed that these cell phones get damaged, stolen, or lost, it would be wise to invest on an extended warranty for the cell phone.

    Mobile phones are widely used for communication, business, etc. But are you aware of what other things your phone can do or provide you of? Here are some facts you may want to look at.

    Originality of your Mobile Phone

    Mobile phones have its unique IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) that confirms the originality of your cell phone. To get the IEMI of your mobile phone just press the following *#06# and the international mobile equipment identity. Then check the 7th and 8th numbers:

    1 2 3 4 5 6 7th 8th 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
    Phone serial no. x x x x x x ? ? x x x x x x x

    IF the Seventh and Eight digits are 02 or 20 this means your cell phone was assembled in Emirates which is very Bad Quality.

    IF the Seventh and Eight digits are 08 or 80 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Germany which is Fair Quality.

    IF the Seventh and Eight digits are 01 or 10 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Finland which is Very Good.

    IF the Seventh and Eight digits are 00 this means your cell phone was manufactured in original factory which is the Best Mobile Quality.

    IF the Seventh and Eight digits are 13 this means your cell phone was assembled in Azerbaijan which is very bad quality and also dangerous for your health.


    In Case of Emergency

    There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.

    Check out the things that you can do with it:


    1. EMERGENCY

    *The Emergency Number worldwide for **Mobile** is 112..* If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked.

    Try it out.

    2. Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keys?

    This may come handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:

    If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock.

    Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other ‘remote’ for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).


    3. Hidden Battery Power

    Imagine your cell battery is very low, you are expecting an important call and you don’t have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370. Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrutment will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.


    4. How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

    To check your Mobile phone’s serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: *#06#

    A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.

    You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point of people stealing mobile phones.

    The sleek lines and glossy black finish of the Samsung i8510 hides probably the best all-around smartphone out in the market place. There are two things going for it: an 8-megapixel camera and 16 gigabytes of internal storage. That’s just a couple of highlights from amongst an incredibly wide feature set that involves Internet connectivity, social networking, office applications, and of course, the best in multimedia communications and entertainment.

    The black, monolithic phone is a fingerprint, magnet owing to its glossy finish. But it’s nothing to worry about as the i8510 keeps its silky sheen throughout. It’s hardly inconspicuous as you hold it in your hand, a relatively large phone that straddles the line of just being the right size without looking fragile. It looks pretty solid and durable.

    The phone is made up of a slider mechanism that is exactly like many of Samsung’s slide-up phone models out today. The clear 240×320 pixel, 2.8-inch 16M-color TFT screen is nice and bright for movie viewing, but is susceptible to glare once you’re outdoors in direct sunlight. Under the screen are s set of navigation keys and an optical joystick. It’s not necessary a touchpad, but a few swipes of your thumb can control the onscreen menu. The optical joystick’s sensitivity can be adjusted or turned off completely – which means the surface transforms into a regular keypad that you need to press. It may take some getting used to since the sensitivity often goes haywire, but not by a lot. It was generally a very intuitive control scheme despite being vulnerable to getting accidentally –“swiped” a number of times. Once you slide up the phone you’ll see the keypad. It’s nice little touch that complements the design. Buttons are relatively easy to press and wide enough for large fingers to navigate. With the whole phone slid open, the form is balanced and never awkward.

    The interface is fact and easy to navigate with a pivot function that adjusts the screen for horizontal view. On the other hand, the highly customizable features and applications may take you a while it you’re a die-hard gadget freak.

    This is good for some, then, because the i8510’s battery life hovers around 330 minutes on minutes on standby and 300 to 500 minutes talk time.

    Rounding the features are:

    - Quad-band GSM 850/900/1800/1900Mhz, GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA (7.2Mbps)

    - WCDMA (900/1200)

    - Stereo FM Radio

    - WiFi b/g, USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.0 (with A2DP) interfaces

    - Email (POP3/IMAP4/SMTP/SSL/TLS)

    - RSS Reader

    - Offline Mode, No SIM Mode

    The Finnish company also launched its first touch-screen phone 5800 Xpressmusic to rival Apple’s popular iPhone.

    Nokia said at an analyst and media event in London it would start selling the phone shortly, pricing it at 279 euros ($395) excluding subsidies and taxes, which it said was roughly half the price of the other main touch-screen phones on the market.

    “The price and positioning of the product may result in substantial demand and will undoubtedly put some pressure on Apple,” said Ben Wood, research head at CCS Insight.

    The price means consumers in large markets will get the phone for free from operators when agreeing to sign a contract. The company also will be able to make a dent in emerging markets.

    “We expect it to be listed with most of the (mobile phone) operators,” Jo Harlow, head of music phones, told Reuters in an interview.

    Nokia said all major music labels and most independent labels will offer their tracks as part of Nokia’s ‘free’ music bundle “Comes with Music,” raising the total number of tracks to around 5 million.

    “Apple’s days of dominant digital music retailer outside the United States are numbered, if they don’t do anything radical,” said Rob Wells, head of Universal’s digital music business.

    Apple controls slightly more than half of global digital music sales through its iTunes store.

    Nokia said it aims to offer the music service next year on Apple’s home ground in the United States, the world’s largest music market.

    “In a market where price and selection are so much more important than brand to consumers, Apple cannot count on retaining users when competing with an offering which seems free to the end user,” said Strategy Analytics’ David MacQueen.

    “Comes with Music” and similar products from other hardware vendors could help the music industry make up for falling CD sales and cut illegal downloads.

    The battle for mobile music is increasingly crowded. Sony Ericsson launched its music package this month in Sweden, and South Korea’s LG Electronics plans a service similar to Nokia’s.

    Nokia’s package will differ from others on the market since users can keep all the music they have downloaded during the subscription period of 12 or 18 months. There are no charges for tracks downloaded as the cost is bundled to the phone price.

    Analysts and music industry players said Nokia’s offering could bring free music to millions of consumers and change the music industry significantly.

    “The introduction of mobile handsets featuring unlimited music downloads out-of-the-box will bring about a fundamental change in the way the mass-market consumes digital music,” said Rob Lewis, chief executive officer of British digital music firm Omnifone.
