Review on LG KE990 (LG VIEWTY)

LG Launches a Touchscreen phone with a 5mp camera in Europe. It CAN be unlocked for AMERICAN use. The camera features full zoom, flash, and has a 120fps on video camera mode, This is not your average phone.

 

PROS:

 

• Touchscreen is responsive and gives feedback
• The camera is excellent as a camera and video camera
• The call quality is amazing
• As is the signal strenght, I never lost signal
• LOUD speakers
• Many ways to text

 

This one is going to be shocking but, THERE ARE NO CONS FOR THIS PHONE!

 

Everything is perfect with this phone. The call quality and the signal were constantly amazing. Never dropped a call OR lost signal. Also the touchscreen has tactile feedback that really helps when typing. Speaking of typing, there are four ways to type, you have your t9 mode, using what a basic phone uses, you have abc mode, where you have to hit the number as manyt imes until the letter appears. for example: HEY : 4433999, Then there is a full keypad, which is VERY spacious, oen of the most comfortable keypads i’ve ever used, being honest. And lastly there is the text recognition, meaning you write in the letter with the stylus, and the phone recognizes it to put it on the screen. This phone was amazing, the only reason I had gotten rid of it was to get more phones to review.

Review on Blackberry Pearl 8100 (T-mobile)

I’m going to be reviewing the RIM (Research In Motion) Blackberry 8100 for T-mobile. It’s a unique little phone with a suretype keypad.

 

PROS:

• Great Call Quality
• Decent Camera
• Has Flash
• Great Operating System, that CAN be modded (again this voids your warranty, highly vote against this)
• Runs smoothly
• Customizable themes
• Great Music Player
• Set MP3 as Rintones
• Good Suretype System similar to t9

CONS:

• The keypad wears out after a while
• As does the trackball

I’m going to give this phone a 4.5/5, it’s simply amazing except for the fact that they keypad wears out after about two months or usage(straight texting/emailing). Besides that it’s a great and magnificent phone and highly reccomended to all T-mobile customers.

Review On The Apple iPhone

This is the big one. I’m sure all of you have been waiting for it. The Apple iPhone, AT&T’s pride and joy. Please be aware, i’m talking about the first generation, not the 3g. 

PROS:

 

• Responsive Touch Screen
• Lots of Applications to download
• HAS INTEGRATED WIFI
• Decent Call Quality
• The 2mp Camera takes 5mp quality photos

 

CONS:

 

• My fingers are bigger, so I could not type properally
• Seemed to freeze a lot
• Signal was “sketchy” (seemed to come and go)
• It would freak out (go from vibrate to volume, and over and over, without me even touching the phone, bad for in school)
• Could’ve done better with the casing, it gets “dings” and scratches too much.

 

I bought this phone for 350 dollars new on Craigslist. I had it PROFESSIONALLY unlocked and jailbroken for an extra 30. I personally thought I would love this phone, boy was I wrong. The signal jumped, and it just wasn’t what I was expecting, and I was let down. The phone also got damaged way to easily. 

I’m going to give this a 4/5, because on top of it all, the phone WAS decent, but it’s the processor and casing that disapointed me.

My Review On The Microsoft Zune 80GB

This is going to be my review on the 80gb microsoft Zune (2). I had this zune in onyx black before and was very fond of it, although It was lacking what could have been incredible with the WiFi ability.

PROS:

• Comes with Premium headphones (50 dollar value)
• Big Harddrive
• Very stylish, and a large screen
• Colors are vibrant
• Can touch or click using the Dpad,which is VERY responsive

CONS:

• Prone to scratches (no problem if you have a case)
• Headphone jack was “worn out”, made crackling noises
• Feels bulky, heavy, yet cheap in hand
• Fingerprint magnet

 

I had this after having the 30gb iPod video. I wanted a change from Apple, so I came to Zune. I thought it was cool for a while, but then lost intrest. The Zune (2) has potential with WiFi, but did NOT take advantage of it at ALL. Zune sharing is pretty cool, but you can only use the songs for 3 plays, unless you can find a mod to do otherwise. Please be warned that modding DOES void your warranty, and I HIGHLY reccomend against it. I’m going to give this a 3.5/5, for the simple fact, I like my things clean, not fingerprinted up, I also like a firm feeling in my hand, not something that feels like it’s going to fall apart.

Samsung SGH T-819 Review (T-mobile, GSM unlocked)

I’m going to be reviewing my phone. The samsung t-819 slider phone. It’s thin, it’s sexy, and it’ll catch an eye. For a basic level entree phone, it is amazing.

PROS:

• Slim
• Fashionable
• Spaced keypad and navigation
• Invulnerable to scratches (somewhat)
• Great Music Player
• Sturdiest Slider Phone I’ve Ever Had
• Excelent Call Quality

CONS:

• The keyboard is flat, so it’s hard to type by prediction (for those highschool students who text without looking in school)
• You cannot change the theme, so you’re stuck with hot pink/black
• The lock can get annoying, but you can disable it, I keep it on for security reasons
• Is a “cofee” brown color, which in my opinion is ugly

 

I’ve had this phone for a little over a month now, and get this, i skateboard, with this phone. I’ve dropped it, i’ve fallen on it, and yet I don’t have on scratch on it. Don’t get me wrong, i’m no skinny stick, i’m a big kid, weighing in at 250lb, 6ft tall, I’ve got not a dent in this phone. It has amazing call quality, and it has a high resolution screen. The camera is decent for a 1.3mp, and it has zoom. I’ll give this phone a 4/5, because of the megapixels, and because of the lack of customization.

Microsoft X-box 360 ELITE Review.

I’m going to be reviewing the xbox 360 elite today, equipt with a 120gb hardrive, a quieter system, and comes with a wireless BLACK remote. This fit my room perfectly because my TV is black, along with a lot of my other things. It’s also a GREAT system for FPS.

PROS:

• Great for FPS
• Great HD Graphics
• Has AMAZING Games
• Xbox live is easy to use
• Thousands of downloads to customize
• Software is being updated soon with new “avatars”
• Is quiet
• Slim Unique Design
• Can play your music while you’re playing a game (as long as you’ve not updated your iPod to the newest firmware, iTouch’s and iPhones are incompatible)

CONS:

• Is possible to red ring on older consoles.
• Cannot switch positions (if it’s on it’s side it’s reccomended to leave it like that, if it’s standing up, it’s reccomended to leave it like that to avoid scratched disks.

I’ve had this system since April. I used to own a ps3, but after playing this at my friends house, I HAD to have it, as i’ve said in my playstation three review. In my opinion, this is the best system out there for this generation. You’ve got good games, amazing graphics, Quiet system, and TONS of space on your harddrive. This is the BEST video game system i’ve ever owned.

 

I’ve got two ratings on this, the first one is 4.5/5, for the NEWER consoles, because it’s just so amazing, yet there are minor flaws, such as Xbox live costs money, and you can’t switch it from side to side. The second one is 3.5/5, because of red rings, this is only with older systems, the newer systems DO NOT redring, so thus concludes my review of the xbox 360 ELITE.

My Review Of The Playstation Three

Playstation VS Microsoft, VERY controversial, perhaps the most contriversial thing since 9/11. I’m going to go indepth and personal with these two systems, starting with the infamous Playstation 3.

PROS:

• Free Playstation Network
• Good for Role Playing Games
• Great Graphics
• Very Quiet
• Unique design

 

CONS:

• It’s very bulky
• The games are medicore
• There’s no “motivation” such as gamer points
• PvP isn’t “great”
• It’s NOT Backwards Compatible (meaning no PS2 games can be played unless you have one of the original 60gb versions)
• VERY expensive, you don’t get what you pay for

 

 

I myself USED to own a playstation three, I was a playstation fanboy. I HATED microsoft. I’ve come to change my opinion, you see I used to be based on RPG, but now i’m all FPS. I really don’t like putting down systems though, as I could never create something better, but as I played my friends X-box 360, I just HAD to get one. So I sold my 80gb playstation to purchase my 360 elite. The Playstation three is not for your hardcore gamer, it’s for your soft/medium gamers, if you play on medium or easy, this game is for you. This system also comes with Blueray, which of course they used the cheapest form of blueray, but hey, a good picture is a good picture. I give this system a 3 out of 5, because of lack of games, lack of a good network, and for not being backwards compatible, had it been BC, I might of kept it, so I could still keep my old playstation games, without having to switch consoles, wearing out the plugs on my TV.

(To solve that problem I simply purchased another TV)

Review of 6G iPod Classic (160gb)

I come to you today bringing the new, improved Apple iPod. I have purchased the iPod Classic, 160gb. I am making the change from my old apple iPod video, which had 30gb of memory. Now to get to the review.

I think that it’s overall good, and I will not go beyond that.

THE PROS:

• Great Sized Memory, will hold most of your pictures, videos, and music!
• Slick Sexy NEW operating system, very smooth operating compared to the old laggy one.
• Screen is VERY vibrant, and has many pixels

THE CONS:

• The clickwheel is rather sluggish, freezes up at times, just doesn’t want to respond.
• Seems as the screen is more volnurable to crack compared to other generations.
• It’s bulky, but what do you expect for 160 gb of memory?
• The headphones, as usual are crap, but what isn’t crap that comes stock?

After using my iPod for about an hour, I noticed that the scrollwheel was rather sluggish, and felt weak. It also feels that if I were to drop it, the screen would crack almost instantly! I did not like this about the iPod, but there are many options on it I like that overpower this.

The battery life is amazing, I get atleast 7 hours a day of music/video. I can do this for about 3 days before having to charge it again. It’s easy to sync with your computer, and easy to customize your songs.

ie: change song names, artists, titles, albums, art work.

Overall, i’m going to give this iPod a 4.0 out of 5, for the simple fact if I drop it, it’s possible it will break, but then again, what doesn’t break nowadays when you drop it?

I’d reccomend this to someone who needs alot of storage and likes music/videos. I’d also reccomend that you change the headphones, possibly to skull candys. (that’s what I use)

Review of the Verizon Wireless LG Voyager

As of now i’m going to be reviewing the LG voyager. I had this phone quiet a while ago, i’m going to say around 5 months ago, before the titanium version came out. Before having this I had the ENV.

Now to get to the review:

 

PROS:

• Vibration feedback
• Strong flip
• Sturdy keys
• Hard to scratch up

CONS:

• Call quality is below subpar
• The touchscreen started to go “bad” within 2 months (never dropped the phone)
• It would lag while online
• The Vcast music selection doesn’t let you minimize the music player
• Difficult to get music onto it

 

 

When I was with Verizon, I had this plan. I was paying an awful lot of money, for such a horrible service. The internet was laggy, the music player was beyond horrible, and the touchscreen died. Although, the touchscreen DID infact have vibration feedback, and the phone itself was sturdy. I would have liked this phone had it not been with Verizon, but with a GSM carrier, such as AT&T (formely Cingular) or T-mobile. Aside from the flashy looks, and Loud ringtones, this phone is nothing but a paperweight, I rate this phone a 2 out of 5, simply because the idea was great, and the phone was intact, but while prettying the phone up, they missed out on the strong points a phone needs.

This is going to be my blog for now.

I’m going to be reviewing electronics using this blog. I will be reviewing modern electronics such as iPods, Cell phones (majority of my reviews will be cellphones), Gaming consoles, Games, and sometimes even LCD TV’s.

So keep tuned in, i’ll also take suggestions on what to review so drop a comment, and i’ll see I can get my hands on what you want so I can review it.
