There used to only be a few choices if you were looking for a phone that could do more than just the basics, but since the iPhone entered the scene there’s been hundreds of different handsets designed to dethrone the system. Not all of them have been successful but in the last year more and more have been released with some exciting features that rival a lot of what the iPhone can offer, and the growth of the android operating system has given non Apple smartphones a new lease of life thanks to its clever interface, app store and availability on cheaper handsets. If you’ve not been impressed with the iPhone 4, or you don’t want to spend so much money, what are your options right now?

Budget Option: The Orange San Francisco phone is one of the top smartphones you can pick up, and at around £90 it can do pretty much everything a £400 smart phone can do, albeit a little slower! The phone comes with a 3 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, 3G, Android and a range of orange maps. While it lacks some of the more advanced features like GPS, it’s a great option for people who want a phone that’s capable of browsing the net and using data services while remaining attractive and easy to use.

Mid-Range: BlackBerry might not have had a great year, but the Bold range of phones from the company still offer a wide range of features for a decent price, and the iconic BlackBerry keyboard is still the best choice for people who intend to use their phone primarily for messaging. The small screen compared to other smartphones makes browsing the internet less enjoyable, but in that doesn’t stop the BlackBerry Bold 9780 from being one of the most versatile and well-built smartphones on the market and great example of what BlackBerry can do.  Read more...

A New Zealand man was woken in the middle of the night when his cell phone battery exploded and burst into flames, the second exploding battery incident reported this week.

Norman Sievewright said he was asleep in bed about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday when he woke to a loud bang and found his cell phone battery in flames on the carpet. The phone had been charging while he was asleep.

“It was very scary … especially the fumes and stuff. The back has been blown off the phone,” he told New Zealand’s TVONE television news channel.

The phone was made by Nokia, which asked Sievewright to turn over the battery and charger so it can investigate. Until it has done so, “it would be inappropriate to speculate,” a Nokia spokeswoman said via email.

In August Nokia issued an advisoryabout faulty batteries in some of its phones. It said 46 million Nokia-branded BL-5C batteries were vulnerable to a short circuit that could cause them to overheat while recharging, and offered to replace them for customers who are concerned.

Nokia did not issue a recall and said incidents had occurred with only a tiny fraction of phones — 100 out of the 46 million. The batteries were manufactured by Japan’s Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. Ltd. and sold in a wide range of Nokia devices.

Nokia said it didn’t know yet what type of battery was inside the phone in New Zealand, and attempts to contact Sievewright Thursday were unsuccessful.

Also Wednesday, police in South Korea said a worker may have died because his cell phone battery exploded in his pocket, the Associated Press reported. The man was found dead at his workplace in a quarry with a melted cell phone battery in his shirt pocket, according to the report.  Read more...

Buy Electronic Cigarettes

This story of mine goes back 6 years, when after smoking ordinary packet cigarettes from 1- 2 packets a day (And sometimes more) for the previous 34 years, I decided to give them up and swap to hand rolling my own.

This was rightly or wrongly based on the premise that by getting rid of all the chemicals that were in an ordinary cigarette, then my body would be ok, as I was “told” that nicotine in itself does not kill you, it is all the other crap (Sorry chemicals) that they put in man made cigarettes that does the main damage.

There was none of this in a hand rolled cigarette so I was ok wasn’t I!

My rationale did not take into account the amount of actual smoke that was still going into my lungs, and also coking up my whole respiratory system, but I solved that one by being an active twice weekly squash player, so my cardio-vascular would be protected and I would be fit.

What a plonker.

The challenge I had, was that I had tried to give up a couple of times before, and had tried the nicotine patches and the chewing gum when they came out, but ended up having a ciggy while still wearing the patch chewing the gum, so gave up on that idea as they did not work.

They obviously do, but not for me.

The thought of actually using willpower to quit smoking, frightened the life out of me, more so than smoking itself; how many people can relate to that one.

I did try using willpower but failed miserably, like all the other attempts to try and give up, that I had unsuccessfully tried.  Read more...
