Samsung has proven itself to make reliable smart phones and the Captivate Glide is no exception. A solid build, light with a plastic exterior and a pebbled textured back, it’s comfortable to hold and easy to slide the keyboard in and out. It separates itself from the other smart phones hitting the market by having a physical keyboard, which is becoming less and less common, as well as being more on the average size instead of being a large phone. Measuring 4.9 by 2.5 by 0.5, the Captivate Glide is more appealing to the masses that have normal sized hands. It’s easy to use one handed and is comfortable when slipped into your pocket. The screen is 4 inches with 480×800 pixel resolution Super AMOLED display. The screen has good contrast, color saturation and viewing angles, providing great graphics and text. Under the screen you can easily slide out the 4 row QWERTY keyboard that has function buttons built into the keyboard, good sized keys and a well-spaced layout.
Running the Captivate Glide is a 1GHz Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core processor, 1GB of RAM and the standard Samsung TouchWiz user interface, which is easy to customize and organize. If you find yourself using the screen keyboards instead of the physical one, the 3 on-screen keypads are easy to type on as well, especially if you use SWYPE. The Captivate Glide does run on AT&T HSPA+ network, which has proven itself to be a fast and reliable network. The Captivate Glide has an 8 megapixel camera and takes great pictures. It also has 720p HD video capture and a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera. The Captivate Glide has Bluetooth capabilities, Wi-Fi, mobile hotspot, an NFC chip, DLNA, SyncML, HDMI, email capabilities, FM Radio and a multimedia player. It comes preloaded with plenty of apps to get you started, from the Amazon Market to AT&T standard apps to Facebook and Twitter. The 1650mAh battery will get you through a full day of average usage without a charge.

Because the condition of a touch screen is vital to how responsive it is to your touch, having a screen protector is an essential accessory. ScreenGuardz represent the best vinyl screen protector on the market today. Easy to apply and remove, the micro thin, polymer overlays protect your Samsung Captivate Glide i927 screen from scratches, while reducing glare and improving handwriting recognition. Each overlay is custom designed to fit, protect, and enhance the performance of your Samsung Captivate Glide i927 device.

We also highly recommend having a secure car mount if you use your phone in your car. Not only is is required in many states to have a hands free device while driving, it’s just a responsible thing to do. The Samsung Captivate Glide i927 hassle free Naztech universal car dash-mount is the most convenient way to easily fit your electronics within reach.

The LG Optimus Net is a starter smart phone and another option to those who want a basic smart phone instead of a fully loaded huge super phone. The Optimus Net measures 4.47 by 2.32 by 0.48 inches, making it compact and easy to use one-handed. The plastic build gives it an average weight at 4.3 ounces and the curved edges and tapered edges gives it a very comfortable feel in the hand.

We recommend protecting your Optimus Net with either a leather case or a protective cover. However, if you don’t like the bulkiness of these or the feel of a protective cover, a full body skin will keep your phone from getting scratches. BodyGuardz are a clear film that covers the body and screen of a LG Optimus Net device providing scratch protection from outside elements. Designed to custom fit each particular device, these protectors are made from the same material that is used to protect the front of automobiles from stones and other abrasive elements.

We also recommend having a back up battery charger and an external battery pack is a exceptional option. These are small and compact, perfect for carrying around in your bag or purse. They hold a charge for an extended amount of time, perfect for recharging your battery anytime, anywhere, including the outdoors or in an airport.

The LG Optimus One is being released as a starter smart phone. With so many super phones being released, it’s nice to have options if you’re looking for something to do basic smart phone functions. It’s also small and compact, making it easy to slip into your pocket or bag. Measuring 4.47 by 2.32 by 0.52 and weighs 4.55 ounces, it’s about average for an entry level smart phone. The design on the phone is nice, with physical buttons along the bottom for home, back, search and options and a soft touch coating along the back of the phone. LG raised the two most used buttons – the home and back buttons – and set them slightly apart, giving the design a slightly different look.
The screen is 3.2 inches with 320×480 pixel resolution, which is also average for this screen size. The screen supports 262,144 colors which results in fairly good graphics and text. The Optimus One runs on a Qualcomm MSM7227 600MHz ARM 11 processor and Adreno 200 graphic processor, making the response time fair. The Optimus One also has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, FM Radio, 3 megapixel camera with video capture, GPS, multimedia player and email capabilities.

It also has all of the Google Services and full access to the Android Market.

Posted on January 13, 2012
Filed Under accessories, AT&T, Cell Phones, Pantech | Comments Off
The Pantech Pocket is, in a word, untraditional. Measuring 4.52 by 3.07 by 0.44 inches, it definitely stands out with a square look next to the longer and thinner smart phones. While the name may be deceiving, as it probably won’t fit comfortably in your pocket, it is still light and comfortable to hold, with a full plastic build and soft touch, rubberized finish. It’s also light at 4.4 ounces. The 4-inch 600×800 pixel resolution screen is good for a mid-level phone with 16 million color support and text looks crisp and clean. The Pocket runs on Android Gingerbread and Pantech added a few features of their own. On the lock screen there is a circle with spokes coming out to individual apps. Drag the circle up the spoke to the app you want to open when you unlock the screen, taking out a middle step once you unlock the phone. In the middle of the ring is your battery status.
Once the phone is unlocked, you have access to 7 home screens. The Pocket comes preloaded with plenty of apps so you can get going as soon as you open the box. Among these apps are the Google Services, a wide selection of AT&T apps, Facebook, Twitter, and Amazon Kindle. One bonus for the extra wide screen is the keyboard is very roomy. It also has all of the standard smart phone features – Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, multimedia player, and email capabilities. It does have a 5 megapixel camera and 720p HD video capture, however, it does not have a flash and has a fairly long shutter lag. It runs on a single core Qualcomm 1GHz processor. The Pocket has a 2GB memory card preloaded and can support up to a 32GB card.

We recommend having a reliable vehicle charger.

Filed Under accessories, AT&T, Cell Phones, Samsung | Comments Off
For an Android smart phone, the Samsung DoubleTime i857 looks like a feature phone, with a flip open design revealing another touch screen and a full QWERTY keyboard. An entry level smart phone, probably aimed at the younger crowd, comes at a budget price from AT&T. The phone measures 4.45 by 2.44 by 0.59, making it thick and compact. It also gives it a more durable feel especially compared to the razor thin phones. The two screens are both 3.2 inches with 320×480 pixel resolution and support 262,144 colors. While the colors may not appear as bright and smooth as other phones, the detail is nice and the text does appear crisp.
They are both touch screens; the front screen can rotate both portrait and landscape and the inside screen is locked into landscape mode. Inside the phone is a 600mHz Qualcomm processor and 256 MB of RAM. The DoubleTime also has Android Froyo. While these specs may not impress some, this smart phone has plenty of power and options for someone just entering the Android market and wants a basic phone not bogged down by bloatware. It also has a 3.2 megapixel camera, video capture, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi hotspot, tethering, multimedia player and email capabilities.
