Sony Ericsson W995a cell phones

Sony Ericsson accompanied by a vibrant 2.6 inch display. The hone comes with a powerful 8.1 megapixel camera with auto-focus, flash, zoom, image stabilizer as well as face detection. The phone comes up with features such as, Wi-Fi, GPS, and FM radio with RDS. The media player too, lays an important part in the phone.

One of the striking features of this Sony Ericsson phone is seamless transfer of files. With the assistance of Media Goâ„¢ the buyer can transfer a wide range of files including video clips, tracks, photos etc. by simply dragging and dropping. Importantly, the buyer can enjoy even the podcasts from the directory. Complete clarity remains another feature of the phone. The buyers can always catch the action on the bright and clear 2.6 inch screen.

When the need arises the buyer can always share views and sounds while using the built-in stand and stereo speakers. Finally the buyer with an 8.1 megapixel camera can achieve big pictures and afterwards storing them on the 8GB memory card.

Thus, the cell phone would be offering an enjoyable experience surfing INTERNET on the speed of Wi-Fiâ„¢ networks as well as sharing files of various types.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

A. Browse through search engines, read reviews here, and ask other users to what is the best phone. Doing researches you’ll be able to come up with detailed specs for particular models you are eyeing. (This would include: price; reseller/dealer location; features warranty; availability)

B. Decide what type and kind of phone you want.

To do this, give yourself time to deal with 10 most important questions. Ask yourself:

1. Would you want to listen to music with your phone?

There are a number of phones which include radios or MP3 players. These have the convenience of two devices in one, but are sometimes more expensive.

You may want an acceptable audio quality, with added features or an excellent sound quality but with fewer features.

A phone with a speakerphone is not only safer on the road but is useful while using your hands for something else.

2. How important is cell phone signal reception?

Not all cell phones behave the same way with radio frequencies (the frequencies on which cell phones transmit and receive voice conversations, data and text messages). This matters particularly if you live in or travel to rural areas or where the cellular network is not as developed compared to larger cities.

3. Do you prefer clamshell, bar or slider?

If you want a protected keypad, less small and less bulky, go for clamshell or “flip cover”. But if you want the top part sliding up to reveal a keypad, choose a slider phone. Or a cell phone with no flip cover, a standard bar-shaped phone because they are sleek and readily available.

4. Do you need a big memory for pictures and music?

Some phones have built-in memory or even a hard-drive with memory expansion slots. Others only have little memory, which will limit the number of pictures, music or other files you can keep in your cell phone.

5. How do you feel about Connectivity?

Hooking up your cell phone and your PC can be useful for a variety of reasons:

Transfer pictures from cell phone to PC (vice versa)

Upload music from PC to cell phone (vice versa)

Update and edit your cell phone’s phonebook (with the right software)

Upload music from PC to cell phone (vice versa)

Or even use your cell phone as a flash drive

6. What is your budget for this cell phone?

The more features you look, the higher the cost.

7. Do you want a built-in camera?

Most cell phones include built-in digital cameras. This lets you send pictures to friends while on the move and may have business applications. From there how good the camera you want to be.

8. Do you care about the quality of the display?

Cell phone displays do not all have the same resolution and color quality. The higher the resolution is, the crispier it looks.

9. Will you travel overseas with your cell phone?

If you travel a lot and plan to use your phone overseas occasionally, consider the bands it supports. Tri band phones and higher works for most countries.

10. How much battery life do you need?

People who talk a lot while away from home for long periods need a better battery than those who only use a cell phone once or twice a day.

C. Shop for your phone. Canvass in CgeNa and compare prices.

TIPS: Make sure that you’re comfortable with how you navigate the cell phone you chose.

Remember to always keep the warranty information of the unit, and submit registration information where necessary. Also, ask for warranty information from the reseller as well as the duration of their return/replacement policies.

Remember to always check for seals and genuine stickers on the box and on the unit itself to make sure that your new mobile phone is legally sold, and is has not been tampered in any way.

Whyte says, “The amazing response we have seen to the Nokia E71, which has very quickly become the best selling model in its category, lets us know that we are heading in the right direction. People want a rich experience when using messaging, social networks and the Internet. With the Nokia E63 you can enjoy the Web, update your status and work meaningfully with multiple e-mail accounts.”

The Nokia E63 runs on Symbian OS 9.2 S60 version 3.2.

The Finnish company has come out with another winner in the E63. With the holidays already here, Nokia seems to want to be part of the smartphone segment with lots of options available for more cellphone-crazy Pinoys like me.

Nokia always has several cellphone options to choose from in each segment of the cellphone market. It seems that the winning formula of the Finnish company is to make as many choices as there are users. It is because of this that it continues to stay on top of the cellphone game.

The standard features of the Eseries cellphones are what the E63 has. It offers 3G, GPRS, EDGE, Wi-Fi, A2DP Bluetooth and infrared as connectivity options. A standard 2MP camera with Flash and sleeker design makes it ideal.

The phone measures 113 x 59 x 13 mm, making it shorter by 1 mm, 2 mm wider and thinner by 3 mm compared to its E71 brother. It weighs less than two grams.

The Nokia E63 also includes Files on Ovi, a service where people can get remote access to their PC files even when their computer is offline. Those who purchase the phone will be pleased to know that it comes with a 365-day subscription to Files on Ovi.

You can record and view images and videos with the digital camera and bright landscape display, listen to music downloaded from a number of other sources, via the standard 3.5-mm audio jack or customize the device through the thousands of applications available for download.

The standards that Nokia is known for are readily present in the E63. Texting, sending MMS, updating music and keeping the contacts updated are one-key touch away.

As is the case with Nokia, if the system isn’t broke why change it? But with the E63, Nokia has put a few nice touches, making the cellphone one to be desired from Santa.

And for the younger folk out there, whose busy lives need them to be connected 24/7, why not give the P14,200 Nokia E63 a spin. It would be a perfect fit for students.

It has common functions like SMS and MMS messaging. But wait, there’s more! Presenting the AMS or Audio messages! If for some reason you can’t manage to read your messages in your phone inbox or email (say you’re stuck in traffic or forgot to put on your reading glasses), just one press of a button and a voice will tell you what your message is, who it’s from and when it was received.

GAMES

You’ll get so addicted to gaming with this unit! Even a non-gamer would love this. I know I have; I’m usually just a text-call-and-camera person when it comes to cellphones, but this phone just got me so hooked with “Marbles”

AUDIO/MUSIC

This phone has FM radio, supports MP3, MP4, eAAC+ and WMA.

NAVIGATION

Cool navigation feature.This is very helpful for those people who have a limited sense of direction…or no sense of direction at all. You can connect or navigate without using the internet. Just click the cross like blue button below and the integrated compass will guide you to your chosen destination.

Navigation is the key selling point of Nokia 6210. Duh!!! But really, compared to the old model 6110 which also includes similar features like “navigation,” hindi naman kailangan na slimmer, more easy to use and mas mukhang edgy ang Nokia 6210.

THE VERDICT

The ease of use for Nokia E66 is simply superb, it has a very little learning curve ?no need to be a genius to be able to use it. The design and look is excellent, one of the best designed Nokia phone.

The satisfaction level for this phone is 100%.

For those who have the budget and looking for a simple yet elegant and complete featured slider phone. Gadgetbites.com highly recommends Nokia E66.

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:

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.
