The team at three mobile have put together a superb range of free laptop deals. For one monthly payment, these deals allow you a set number of texts a month, give you a free laptop and a quota of data which can be downloaded every month and topped up when required. Additional data can be downloaded at a special rate.

And three mobile have just launched one of their best free laptop deals yet. It features a free Acer 6920G 583 laptop and forms a medium-use package for those users who like to make-use of a larger display, a bigger keyboard and some significant processing power.

With a 2.0Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor working away in the background, there won’t be any problem with the large multimedia applications. This is supported by a handsome 3GB of memory and when it comes to storage, consider that 250 GB of hard drive is on hand to cope with most of what you’ll throw at it.

The 16-inch, high definition display comes into its own when watching movies, there’s a Blue-Ray DVD drive and those users that like to enjoy their computer games, the computer has a built-in NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Card to make sure the action is spot on.

Alongside this powerful free laptop is the Broadband ZTE MF627 USB Stick Modem which gives the user of the Acer 6920G 583 laptop access to 3’s advanced mobile broadband service. You simply push the dongle into one of the free laptop’s USB ports and you can trawl the internet from almost anywhere in the U.K. Data downloads start from 5GB and go upwards from there.

And once you’ve decided on your free laptop deal, you can then have a look at 3’s vast range of inclusive talk minutes and text plans, which have been designed to accommodate most mobile users. Choose from contracts starting at six months and tariffs that begin from £9 a month. And remember that three offers a massive range of video downloads.

Apple iPhone 3GS

July 9th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Compare Mobile Phones, Telecommnications, eCommerce Associates

Apple_iPhone_3GSWhat more can be said about the Apple iPhone 3GS; in terms of being the phone of the moment, it remains the benchmark for everyone in the industry.

Lets not beat about the bush, the Apple iPhone 3GS is pretty cool.

And Apple are pretty proud of it. It is, they claim, the fastest, most powerful iPhone yet. Amongst its other plus points, it features video recording, voice control and up to 32GB of storage.

And this speed and power comes across in many ways. They say that applications can be launched quickly and that web pages render in a fraction of the previous time. Email attachments can be viewed faster and if you want to while away time with the iPhone 3GS games, then the updated 3D graphics will give you a thrill.

Indeed, they claim that the Apple iPhone 3GS is up to twice as fast as the previous model, the iPhone 3G.

In terms of video, you can shoot, edit and share it, all on the iPhone 3GS. In fact, you can shoot high-quality VGE video in portrait, or landscape. And the footage can be trimmed by simply adjusting the start and end points. And you can then take your masterpiece and do a number of things with it, including sharing it in an email, posting it to your MobileMe gallery, whack it up on YouTube, or sync it back to your Mac, or PC, via iTunes.

For still pictures, the Apple iPhone 3GS comes complete with a 3 megapixel camera which has the added benefit of a built-in autofocus facility and a new feature which allows you to tap the display to focus on an object of your choice.

The phone’s voice control feature recognises the names in your Contacts and also knows the music on your iPod. The phone also has a built-in digital compass and, very cleverly, automatically reorients the maps so as to match the direction the user is facing.

The Apple iPhone 3GS can also cut, copy and paste words and photos; and sometimes do that between applications. This, for example, allows you to copy and paste images and content from the web.

It also boasts an intelligent software keyboard (rotating the phone provides a larger keyboard); an advanced message suite (allowing you to send messages with text, video, pictures, audio, locations and contact information; a sophisticated search facility (across all parts of the phone); brilliant web surfing features via its internet tethering facility; voice memo; links to YouTube; and, the increasingly popular App tore which will provide thousands of new and clever applications.

All in all, the Apple iPhone 3GS is close to being the ultimate mobile phone.

The Garmin Asus Nuvifone G60

July 7th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Compare Mobile Phones, Telecommnications, eCommerce Associates

The_Garmin_Asus_Nuvifone_G60Don’t be surprised when you’re making a call on the Garmin Asus Nuvifone G60 if its starts shouting at you to turn left, turn, left, not right, left you idiot!

Garmin claim to be the global leader in satellite navigation and each Nuvifone G60 comes complete with voice prompted turn-by-turn directions that shouts/whispers (depending on the volume) street names, onboard maps and millions of points of interest.

Lets just hope your phone never gets terrets syndrome, or it will be very embarrassing.

But apart from never getting lost again, what does the Garmin Asus Nuvifone G60 offer the mobile phone user? It’s basically a powerful bundle which integrates a quad-band GSM phone with 3.5G data connectivity, a Webkit-based Internet browser, personal messaging, Wi-Fi and stereo Bluetooth.

Garmin are proud of the phone’s touchscreen, its internet connectivity and its easy-to-use features. And as you might think from guys that made their name helping people to get around, navigation is at the heart of this device.

For example, location information is included in email, SMS, photo sharing, social networking and lots more. It also has high-speed downlink/uplink packet access (HSDPA / HSUPA).

And it comes complete with a three mega pixel camera that allows you to take shots of where’ve you’ve just been and where you are about to go.

When you get down to the finer details, it appears to pack quite a punch with quad-band 2G and tri-band 3G for voice and high-speed wireless Internet. Wi-Fi b/g comes with WPA encryption and the desktop web experience has the benefit of a full HTML browser. Location based applications include real-time traffic information, flight times, weather and Google Local search.

And there’s more, when it comes to communications, the Garmin Asus Nuvifone G60 can mix with the big boys, with tagged SMS, email and photo sharing. It has on-board the Ciao!™ location-based social networking platform that integrates compatible social networks into one easy-to-use interface. For those who need to compose a few sonnets, there’s also a virtual QWERTY keyboard on the touchscreen.

But lets not forget its heritage. Apart from its ability to shout out voice prompted turn-by-turn directions, it is optimised for use in the car and has a “Where am I?” safety feature. This displays your current address and nearest police, hospital and fuel services in one click; handy if a night out has left you a little confused. And, it also works in pedestrian mode for in-hand navigation.
Finally, some other specs for those interested in exactly what this baby is capable of.

Operated by a Linux operating system, it measures 112 x 58.1 x 14.6 mm and weighs 137g (and that includes the battery). The touchscreen is an impressive 3.55 inch 65k colour jobby with anti-glare resistance. Display resolution is 272 x 480 WQVGA.

Its 1100mAh removable/rechargeable lithium cell battery allows you to talk for four hours, or wait 250 hours for that call. Flash memory is 4GB on-board 128 MB RAM with an expandable memory of Micro SD, HC Capable, expandable up to 16GB.

Its MP3 capable, supports POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP email, and allows you to peek at Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, JPG documents.

So, all in all, even if you never feel the need to know where you are, or where you might be going, have a careful look at the Garmin Asus Nuvifone G60.

Skypes The Limit

June 3rd, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Telecommnications, Three

skypeMany people increasingly prefer the option of making telephone calls through the Internet. Skype is considered to be the pioneer in the field of Internet telephony. Skype is a Voice over IP (VoIP) software, through which you can easily make calls to other people (who have this service). It boasts of Gen-next software that allows you to make unlimited amount of voice calls. The installation process is fairly easy and does not take much time.

Skype converts the voice signal received from a telephone line into a digital signal. This signal, then travels through the Internet and is converted back into the voice signal at the other end.

Brief History:

Skype was launched in the year 2003 by Janus Friis and Niklas Zennström. In September 2005, eBay acquired it for a whopping amount of $2.6 billion. Since the year it was launched, Skype has introduced many new and advanced versions, such as Skype 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, 3.5, 2.7.0.49 (beta) and 4.0. On August 16-17, 2007, the number of Skype logins had reached such a large extent that Skype had to experience a system-wide crash.

Functions:

Skype allows you to chat through its feature called ‘Skype me.’ A prominent factor, that gives Skype an edge over other services, is you do not receive any unsolicited messages or spams.

It consists of a facility through which you can easily debar the annoying users from messaging you.

Here, it also provides you a special feature such called ‘Skype To Go’ using which you can make international calls from your mobile phone, and that too, at the Skype-Out rate (rate at which you make calls from your PC).

Skype has introduced a new feature called ‘Skype Mobile’ in April 2008, through which Skype can be accessed on mobile phones too.

There is also a ‘video conferencing’ feature, which allows you to do video-conference with other users. It can connect up to five Skype users simultaneously.

Skype also ensures that all modes of communication between its users (instant messages, voice or files) are encrypted with AES (Advanced Encryption Standard).

On 14th April, 2009, eBay announced its plans to spinoff Skype in 2010 via an initial public offering.

Call Costs:

You can make free PC-to-PC calls to your contacts. However, in case of making or receiving calls from regular phones or mobiles, you may be charged some amount of fees that will be based on the destination to which you make the call.

Calls will be charged at per minute rate and you may also avail the fair use policy through which you will get to make unlimited free calls. There is also a scheme under which you will be required to pay monthly fees of $2.95 to make unlimited calls in the U.S.

Skype is thus the most preferred communication service across the globe and boasts of more than 350 million users.

3 Mobile Handsets

April 16th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Compare Mobile Phones, Telecommnications, eCommerce Associates

When it comes to the most popular 3 mobile handsets, the most popular models are some of the best phones out there.

Take the three mobile handset Nokia E71 in grey. This beauty boasts not only stunning looks, but a 3.2 megapixel camera. There’s 110MB of internal memory, which is expandable up to 8GB with a MicroSD card. Talk time is 630 minutes and standby is 410 hours.

Or how about the Nokia N96? Good looks are combined with a 5.0 megapixel camera and a whacking great load of memory at 16GB, which can even be boosted with a MicroSD card. But the power hungry phone holds back the talk time, 174 minutes, and standby time, 161 hours.

Another one of the popular 3 mobile handsets is the Sony Ericsson W595. It has a respectable camera at 3.2 megapixel camera, with internal memory of 40MB (2GB M2 included), with talk time a good 540 minutes and standby 385 hours.

Or perhaps the Sony Ericsson C510 Black. This also has a 3.2 megapixel camera, with 120MB of internal memory (M2 expandable), with a decent 240 minutes of talk time and a standby performance of 350 hours.

Another contender for most popular three mobile handset is the Samsung F480 Tocco Silver. Delivering a great camera with 5.0 megapixels, it has a 250MB of respectable memory, which can be expanded by a MicroSD card. Talktime is an average 180 minutes and standby comes in at 250 hours.

Let’s not forget the Sony Ericsson C905 Black. This packs a photographic punch with a 8.1 megapixel camera, although memory does not win any major prizes, at 160MB, but it can be boosted to 2GB with an M2 memory stick which is included in the package. Talk time is a positive 540 mins and standby, 380 hours

Another one of the superb 3 mobile handsets is the Nokia N95. This delivers impressive memory stats with 8GB internally on board and a sound camera at 5.0 megapixels. Talk time is nothing to write home about at 204 minutes and standby a paltry 187 hours.

An impressive line-up of three mobile handsets.

Palm and Vodafone UK Exclusive?

April 13th, 2009 by admin | 2 Comments | Filed in Compare Mobile Phones, Telecommnications, eCommerce Associates

Has Palm and Vodafone done a deal; will the Pre, Palm’s new touch-screen phone, be available only through Vodafone?

Well that’s the rumours circulating the mobile phone fraternity, whispering that Vodafone has got an exclusive deal worked out for when the phone is due to have it’s retail mobile launch in mid 2009.

And why does anyone care you might wonder? Well, the Palm Pre is being touted by some as the one device that might just stop the seemingly unstoppable progress of Apple’s iPhone. Where have we heard that before? How many companies have produced what they believe to be an iPhone killer?

As an aside, the problem with many manufacturer’s is that they just don’t get the whole Apple thing. It’s about being cool first, then the technology. And until its stops being cool, then most manufacturers will only nip at the lead that Apple has built up. The problem for Apple, is why does something become ‘cool’ and how long will it last? There are many devices out there which are superior to the iPhone, but they won’t knock it off its perch. And will the buying public, who not only buy, but also aspire to Apple products, regard Palm as being cooler than Apple? Don’t hold your breath.

But, as RIM have shown with the BlackBerry Storm, there are a large number of people out there who want performance over looks, and if they can have performance as well as beauty, then so much the better. Although the Storm is not without its critics of course, some calling it a mild shower, certainly not a major climatic event.

And not only is Palm hoping that its Pre will be a iPhone beater, it’s also desperately hoping that it will once again give it a future in the industry of mobile devices.

Significantly, this is Palm’s attempt at a re-birth, a chance to show that it can once again play an important part in the sector. In the late 1990s Palm had a spell at the top, when things called PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) roamed the earth, walking tall and living their role as the executive’s must-have toy.

Then, almost in a blink of an eye, came smartphones. They were everything that the Palm Pilot was, but better. Ever since Palm has really been wandering the electronics industry wilderness, trying to get back what it once had. That it is still around is testament to not only Palm’s tenacity, but also its loyal customer base.

And this is why, when the Pre was unveiled at gadget heaven, the Las Vegas staged Consumer Electronics Show 2009, it caused a bit of a stir. Had Palm got it right at long last; had Palm produced the smartphone of 2009, one that would truly give the iPhone a run for its money?
It’s way too early to tell of course, but a number of the tech web-sites have quoted Apple executives as being a bit disgruntled at what Palm is offering, with talk of protecting their IP, so maybe it has got under their skin.

The Pre, which boasts some 8GB of storage, has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a touch-screen and is formed around an operating system called Web OS, which pulls downs files and services from the internet cloud, a concept which will come to the fore in the next decade. Basically, in the future, the device, whether a smartphone, desktop, or laptop, will just be a portal for downloading and uploading files from the internet cloud, where all applications will run. So the current technology emphasis is not so much on the application, but on the pipe that delivers the code. The more bits you can get up and down the pipe, the better.

And if Palm and Vodafone get together for an exclusive deal, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise, as O2 cleverly grabbed the iPhone, T-Mobile got the G1 Google phone and Vodafone itself got the BlackBerry Storm.

So, we have to wait and see if Palm and Vodafone get it together. One thing is for sure though, whereas device manufacturers and mobile networks see this linking as a great marketing idea, it does alienate a number of potential customers. And the big question here is, does Pre need the weight of Vodafone, or does Vodafone need the weight of the Pre?

Pay As You Go Pays Off

February 24th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in eCommerce Associates

The landscape of the mobile phone market is set to alter dramatically in coming months as 6.5 million users consider switching from a mobile phone contract to a Pay As You Go (PAYG) option because of the economic climate.    

A further three quarters of a million people (723,000) say they are already in the process of switching, according to a report out today from Post Office® Telecoms.  

There are already more than 32.7 million PAYG users in the UK, making up 54 per cent of the population, and this recent study indicated it could increase to a possible market share of around 65 per cent.   

In recent months some Post Office branches have seen an increase in sales of mobile top ups of over 100 per cent and, as the UK’s second largest provider of the service, the network is bracing itself for a sharp increase in sales during 2009.     

Martin Moran, Post Office head of telecoms, said: “Clearly people are being mindful of their finances during difficult times, and taking control of their spending by switching to more manageable options for mobile phone costs.  

“59 per cent of people say that having a PAYG mobile allows better control of spending and in some Post Office branches we’re seeing record numbers of people topping up their mobile phone at the counter.    

“The Post Office also offers customers the option to pay many bills in cash, including our HomePhone and broadband services, which can help them control their spending in an easy and transparent way.  We’re preparing ourselves for an increase in use of these services as the financial crisis deepens.”   

According to one in five people PAYG is a good option if you have a bad credit rating, with 31 per cent of under-25s citing this as a reason to use PAYG.  The under-25s were also the wariest about signing a monthly contract (67 per cent).  

Regionally, mobile phone users in the South West were the most likely to switch from contracts to PAYG (40 per cent). 

The top reasons for topping up rather than signing up to a contract were: 

  1. You only pay for what you use (69 per cent)
  2. You have more control over you spending and won’t be saddled with bills you can’t afford (59.2 per cent)
  3. You don’t feel the pressure of being tied into a contract (58 per cent)
  4. You don’t need a good credit rating (21 per cent)
  5. They are simpler to understand (15 per cent)

Hyundai plans to drive over the competition

February 15th, 2009 by admin | 1 Comment | Filed in Compare Mobile Phones, Telecommnications

No, not Hyundai the car, but Hyundai the mobile phone. And it’s coming to the U.K.

 

On 19 January 2009, Hyundai Mobile Europe announced the launch of Hyundai Mobile U.K. It intends to introduce into the U.K. market a range of between ten to 15 handsets across the Hyundai model range, which they categorise under the Basic, Music, Lifestyle, Innovation and Business labels. The business category phones (based on the Windows Mobile operating system) will be launched in the first half of 2009.

 

The U.K. launch follows successful Hyundai mobile phone operations in Hungry (via operator Pannon); Slovenia (Mobiltel) and Germany (Eplus).

 

The Hyundai operation will be based at the Advantage Celluar distribution hub in Oxfordshire. There it will exploit warehousing and logistics facilities which, say Hyundai, should ensure a seamless supply of handsets to their U.K. and Eire customers without any delays usually associated shipping direct from the Far East.

 

Hyundai Mobiles have the full backing of the Hyundai Corporation and they want, as a corporation, to exploit the value of their brand. The company is one of the five biggest global car manufacturers and have a brand which is ranked 72 in a list of the world’s most valuable brands.

 

And with the co-operation of the Hyundai Corporation’s existing 120 distribution partners, they claim to have already created a wide European sales network in just a few months. And the base in Oxfordshire is part of the overall strategy to take-on the rich U.K. market.

 

The company is currently recruiting top personnel for the U.K operation and it is showing off its range of mobiles to potential business partners at the Mobile World Congress this month (February 2009).

 

With its HQ in Vienna, Hyundai Mobile Europe has previously launched branches in Germany, Hungary and Bulgaria, as well as establishing local sales organisations in Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Macedonia and Bulgaria. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Leitz-Austria Vertriebs GmbH, Hyundai Mobile Europe has successfully launched eight handsets to date. Sales partnerships are currently in setup phase in Poland, Italy and France with sales branches planned in Portugal, Spain, the Benelux countries, Romania and Greece in 2009.

 

So if you fancy a Hyundai mobile phone, maybe to match your Hyundai car, then you won’t have to wait long.

NB:

This range will soon be available from http://www.compare-mobile.com/
