Samsung Cellular Phone – Let Me Show You Where You Can Get Them At Deep Discount

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Cheap Contract Mobiles

So you want a Samsung cellular phone and you want a good deal, but where do you get that?

There is one place I know of that will sell you a Samsung cellular phone at a deep discount. They’re new, refurbished or used and any model or color you’d want is available. Where is this magical cellular store? Why, it’s eBay

Yes you can get a Samsung cellular phone that works, and works with your carrier. The cell phones listed as ‘New never Opened’ on eBay mean that this phone has never been activated by a wireless phone carrier, even if the phone is not in the original box. there are many wholesalers that sell this type of Samsung cellular phone on eBay. Some of these phones are also being sold by people that bought the phone, or got it free and never activated it. you can verify it is a new, never used phone by checking the life timer setting of the phone. Life timer setting records the history of call connection for the phone over its lifetime.

Another type of Samsung cellular phone sold on eBay is the Refurbished type. This means that it is a used cell phone, but refurbished to like new condition. there are different types of refurbished phones that you should be familiar with. Fully refurbished means the cell phone really does look like new. The cell phone has been tested, reset to factory settings and the housing has been changed.

The Samsung cellular phone would come with a new battery and new accessories as well. This type of refurbished cell phone is a steal and snapped up quick on eBay. a partially refurbished cell phone means a variety of things such as the housing has been changed but it has not been reset to factory settings. these are cheaper than fully refurbished. For any refurbished phone, you need to read the eBay auction ad or email the seller to determine what has been done to the phone to make it meet the refurbished criteria.

The final type of cell phone you can find is ‘used’, which means they have indeed been used before. you must read the auction ad carefully and ask questions of the seller. you can get a used Samsung cellular phone for a steal in this category, but make sure it’s not a lemon or a seller trying to scam you. look at the pictures, read the buyer ratings of the seller, make sure the phone has a warranty, etc. used phones really are a gamble and I recommend avoiding them and just buying New or Refurbished from a reputable seller.

-samsung Accessories - Sprint phones get smarter about Wi-Fi, battery usage - (5/9/2012)

Posted on May 9, 2012 by Cheap Contract Mobiles

Sprint's product chief, Fared Adib, speaking to reporters at the company's Network Vision conference at the CTIA Wireless trade show.

NEW ORLEANS–Many Sprint Nextel customers aren’t proactive enough when it comes to taking advantage of speedy, power-efficient Wi-Fi networks, but the company is aiming to change that.

Sprint has been quietly rolling out an “intelligent client” called the Sprint connection optimizer designed to help phones locate and remember Wi-Fi networks. the software, which has already been rolled out to the original Samsung Epic, is making its way through the various smartphones via an over-the-air software update.

While Wi-Fi clients and assistants aren’t exactly new, they are typically used by the more tech-savvy crowd. Fared Adib, head of products and devices for Sprint, said there are still a lot of subscribers out there who don’t realize or take advantage of Wi-Fi as an alternative data connection.

“We think it’s a little bit groundbreaking,” Adib said during a conference with reporters during theCTIA Wireless trade show today, noting that few other carriers are doing this.

The software is fairly innocuous, working in the background to actively find Wi-Fi networks and pinging users if a network is available. if joined, the software does a better job of remembering the network and proactively hops on it the next time the person is nearby. ForAndroid phones, the message acts as a regular notification.

The use of Wi-Fi is important to Sprint because it gets data traffic off of its own cellular network, freeing up capacity for other users. It’s even more important down the line as Sprint works to integrate Wi-Fi more tightly with its own cellular network. for customers, Wi-Fi offers a more power-efficient experience. Adib said smartphone users can get up 50 percent better battery life using Wi-Fi for data as opposed to 3G or 4G.

The client is particularly useful for customers using a WiMax phones, since customers often have to actively switch the WiMax connection on and off.

Review: HTC One X – Technology News

Posted on May 4, 2012 by Cheap Contract Mobiles

HTC one X

We have been waiting for this ever since the phone was announced at the Mobile World Congress by HTC but we finally have the majestic HTC one X in our hands. the first quad-core smartphone to launch in the country, the HTC one X has a brilliant 4.7-inch 720p Super LCD2 HD display, 8 megapixel camera

with 1080p video recording, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box, all in a beautiful unibody design.

But before we give you the full review (which we are working on), here is quick hands-on with the HTC one X.

The HTC one X uses a gorgeous unibody design. the entire phoneâ?™s surface is made from two parts, one is the polycarbonate shell and the Gorilla Glass at the front. being made out of one single block of plastic makes it feel very strong and sturdy, but it does come with some disadvantages such as the inability to remove the battery. the Gorilla Glass on the front is completely flat but thanks to curved sides, it gives the optical illusion of the glass itself being curved.

Underneath that Gorilla Glass sits a stunning 1280 x 720 resolution IPS LCS. the high pixel density makes the display look very sharp and the large size and the bright colors make it a joy to behold. Unfortunately, thanks to the large size of the display, it makes the phone itself pretty large and we found it rather difficult to use it single handedly. It may not be as big and unwieldy as the Samsung Galaxy Note but itâ?™s not exactly comfortable to use either.

On the hardware front the one X comes with a 1.5GHz Nvidia Tegra 4 processor. It uses the new 4-PLUS-1 configuration, where the CPU has four performance cores and one companion cores. All your usual tasks are generally handled by the companion core, which consumes far less battery power and only when things get too demanding does the processor seamlessly switches over to the performance cores. apart from that, there is also a 12 core GeForce GPU for 3D applications and games. Then there is 1GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory of which 25GB can be seen when the device is mounted on the PC and about 2GB is reserved for apps. Unfortunately, there is no microSD card slot.

On the software side, the phone comes with Android 4.0.3 with Sense 4.0. Unlike the previous versions, Sense 4.0 us much lighter and cuts down on a lot of the frivolous animations, such as the spinning homescreens when you do a quick swipe. It also looks a bit more understated, with some matte finishes instead of glossy icons. some of the older frivolities have given way to new ones, such as the 3D cube animation when you scroll between the category tabs at the bottom and or the splitting of the list when you try to scroll at the end of the list. Weâ?™ll cover these more in the review.

At the end of the day, though, despite its improvement, Sense is still an unnecessary extra that exists solely because HTC wants to differentiate its products from other Android phones out there. Personally, weâ?™d take stock Ice Cream Sandwich over this anyday. HTC should at least offer an option for people to choose if it must put Sense on its phones.Performance-wise the one X is really good, with everything from scrolling through the homescreens and opening and switching between apps being really quick. We tried some graphically heavy games like Dead Space and ShadowGun and they all worked really well.

One small problem is that because the one X does not have a dedicated menu button, older apps that are not optimized for Android 4.0 and that donâ?™t have the on-screen menu button (which would be almost all of them) tend to show up a bar at the bottom of the screen with just the menu button in it. This can be really annoying because a decent portion of your display gets wasted. Hopefully developers will update their apps to take care of this problem.

HTC made a big deal of the camera on the one series phones. the deal was actually made about the speed of the camera rather than the outright image quality. Everything from the time taken to start the camera app to the focussing speed and the time taken to save the image have been greatly received and all this was possible by a dedicated image processor that HTC calls ImageSense. All we can say is that this is the fastest mobile phone camera we have ever seen. as for the actual image quality, it was only above average with the cameras from the Galaxy S II and the iPhone 4S putting on a far better show. Same is true for the 1080p videos as well.

We are still using the phone and putting it through our usual battery of tests and benchmarks. We should have the full review for you to read shortly. Stay tuned.

Todays phones come with a variety of features, including, email, Internet browsing, texting, camera and video, games, GPS and much more.

Text messaging hit the market by storm and continues to be one of the leading and most popular instant communication methods. In fact, the Wireless Industry Trade Association (CTIA) says that more than 600 billion text messages were sent within the United States in 2008. These figures are astounding and greatly contribute to the astounding cellular market revenue every year.

-samsung Accessories - The Nokia N8 With Ovi Maps Facility - (4/14/2012)

Posted on April 14, 2012 by Cheap Contract Mobiles

The latest smartphone from the seasoned veterans of the mobile phone world, Nokia, is a very impressive high specification device in the form of the N8. The phone certainly looks a great all round device which will appeal to the whole spectrum of consumers.

In keeping with the trend for the modern handsets to be much more than purely a mobile phone, the N8 comes with a wealth of options with regards to connectivity, meaning features such as social networking access and push notifications are supported. The N8 achieves the fastest possible data transfer speeds whilst on the move thanks to 3G coverage, however when out of range of such a connection, the back up support of EDGE and GPRS means there is never any reason for you not to be kept up to date with the world around you. if you have access to a WiFi connection, the phone supports Wireless LAN enabling the fastest online experience. such great connections options make obtaining services from Nokias online store a simple affair. The Ovi Store offers a variety of applications very similar to Apples iTunes. The N8′s large screen combined with the Ovi Maps facility that is installed on the device makes the phone the perfect travel companion as it doubles as a satellite navigation system.

The Nokia N8 scores top marks in the style department thanks to a modern design and eye catching appearance. The streamline profile of the handset is helped by the few physical buttons that it actually contains. The front of the phone features just the single home button, placed beneath the screen. The display itself is a major attraction of the N8 thanks to its use of OLED technology rather than the traditional TFT variety. thanks to the lack of a backlight, black colours look deeper than ever before and viewing angles are also increased. The panel displays an adequate resolution of 360 x 640 pixels across its 3.5 measurement. Anybody wanting to use their phone as a still camera will appreciate the impressive specification on the N8. still photographs are captured in 12 mega pixel resolution, with a xenon flash making pictures in poor lighting conditions look great. Video capture maintains this high quality by offering the user the ability to shoot in high definition. This means footage is recorded at a resolution of 720 progressively scanned lines, and the inclusion of an HDMI socket makes connection to an HD ready TV simple.

The N8 should re establish Nokias place near the top of the mobile phone tree. The handset ticks all the right boxes with regards to looks and functionality, and should sway many consumers away from the more well known smartphone brands of HTC and Apple.

Pink Samsung Galaxy Note hits Korean shelves – SlashGear

Posted on April 12, 2012 by Cheap Contract Mobiles

Samsung’s pink version of the Galaxy Note has gone on sale in Korea, and when you’re dealing with an oversized phablet like the 5.3-inch Note, that’s a whole lot of pink. Offering the same 1280 x 800 touchscreen with both finger and digital stylus input – then pen here also being matching pink, with a fetching grey barrel button – and Android Gingerbread complete with TouchWiz modifications, the pink Galaxy Note should, Samsung hopes, extend the appeal of the handset to a more female audience.

Whether that’s the case or not remains to be seen; it’s also worth noting that it’s not only women who sometimes like pink devices, too. the particular hue Samsung has opted for it certainly striking, with the company going for a particularly saturated example rather than, say, the pastels we’ve often seen.

Story Timeline

It also appears some matching accessories are in the pipeline, with a pink folio case shown in-use with the new version. the pink Note goes on sale alongside the existing white, black and metallic blue models, of which Samsung recently boasted of 5m sales.

There’s no word on when – or indeed if – the pink model will make it to Europe or North America, though a leaked product sheet back in February indicated there’d be a “berry pink” model with GSM product numbers (GT-N7000ZIA for the 16GB; GT-N7000ZIE for the 32GB). That at least suggests the option is on the table.
