Motorola Dext MB220 Review – Android Smartphone Slider With QWERTY

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Also known as the Motorola CLIQ (in the USA), this frumpy-looking little mobile phone with its plain, grey appearance and rounded corners is actually better than it looks. It’s an Android smartphone with a slide out QWERTY keyboard which is powerful, responsive, and will suit those whose social integration ranks high in importance in their daily lives.

First announced in September and released in October 2009, the Motorola Dext is a Quadphone which works on both 2G and 3G. It measures 114 x 58 x 15.6 mm and weighs in at a fairly heft 163g.It features a landscape slide-out full qwerty keyboard with a 5-way navigation key and a large 3.1 inch TFT capacitive touchscreen display, capable of showing 256k colours and 320 x 480 pixels. It comes complete with an Accelerometer sensor for rotating easily between landscape and portrait viewing, a proximity sensor for auto turn-off plus MOTORBLUR User Interface with Live Widgets.Alerts are the usual vibration or downloadable polyphonic, MP3 or AAC ringtones. It does have a speakerphone and the ever-useful 3.5mm audio jack. Use your headset or cans to enjoy loaded music, but do not expect to be able to listen to the radio – because it has none.

What it does have, however, is a whopping 1GB internal storage with 256MB RAM and 512MB ROM. Storage can be boosted up to 32GB by means of microSD card – it comes with 2GB included in the package.Data Handling is by means of Class 12 EDGE and GPRS at 32-48 kbps, and on 3G, HSDPA at 7.2 mbps. Wi-Fi connectivity is standard 802.11 b/g, it has Bluetooth v2.1 with A2DP and microUSB v2.0. There is no infra-red port.

In terms of capturing your social life on film, the 5MP camera with autofocus will take an image 2592 x 1944 pixels in size and video in HVGA mode at 24fps (MP4). There is no secondary camera. It does feature Geo-tagging.Under the bonnet you will find a Qualcomm 528 MHz processor, controlled by the Android v1.5 (Cupcake) operating system. It handles messaging by SMS, MMS and Email, surfs the net with an HTML enabled browser, and can play games. The handset comes in colours: Midnight Titanium and Winter White.Yes – it does have GPS – with A-GPS support – Google Maps with Street View and a digital compass.

Other features include Noise Cancellation with a dedicated microphone, and plays files with the formats of: MP3/eAAC+/WAV/WMA9 and MP4/H.263/H.264/WMV9. It also has an Organiser, Document Viewer, Shazam, iMeem Mobile, Voice Memo and T9 text input.

The standard Li-Ion 1420 mAh battery allows up to 320 hours on stand by and up to 6 hours talk time.We liked:

Support for Android Apps, the comfortable QWERTY keyboard and responsive touchscreen.

We didn’t like:

In the day and age of designer phone-wear – this handset is a little ‘grey’ and unexciting in appearance – it also feels a little flimsy in build quality. It does not have a radio.High feature phones are great but they can easily be outdated and most of all they cost a lot higher. You can however cut some price back through cheap mobilephone line rental deals and even get a Motorola Dext MB220 with free gifts.

How to Get Rid of Rats in the Home

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

Rats mainly feature out in search of food, water, and shelter at night and in many cases are homes become their favorite hang out. This does not mean they will actually live in your home; they only frequent your home for food and water.Rats are not as easy to get rid of, as many people believe. Rats are a bit leery of new things that have been placed in their paths along their favorite places to visit. This means if you place a trap somewhere close to an area they visit, normally it will be left totally alone for up to four days.Professionals explain that since rats are this way when it comes to new things, it would not be wise to bait a trap as soon as you place it. The reason being is that before grabbing the bait, they will investigate the trap for at least a day before they actually grab the bait. The best way is to leave the trap with the bait alone.After a few days, you will notice the bait gone. Now, add more bait and set the trap. The rats already know that the trap is safe or at least they think it is, and is a great place to receive a treat. They will easily grab for the bait without a second thought. Of course, you may be wondering what rats like to eat. Well, many people have tried all kinds of things for bait. Cheese is not the best bait! Many people state that peanut butter and even pop tarts do a much better job.You can use a large variety of traps – ones that will kill the rat or others that will only trap the rat so you can release it. One thing to remember though, if you release the rat back into the field nearby it will find its way back. Rats also bite, so be very careful when releasing it back into the wild.When you decide on the trap, you prefer you must learn the instinct of rats. They normally travel into your home by way of the baseboards. They like to stay out of sight and do not like walking across a room, they will stay as close to the walls as possible. You need to place the traps close to the wall and of the way of small children and pets. The best places to place traps are behind the stove, the refrigerator, under all the sinks, behind the washing machine, and possibly behind the commode. Yes, rats are looking for water as much as food and there are rats large enough to drink out of the commode just like your dog.If you would prefer to keep the rats out of your home instead of trapping them, they you need to find the way they are coming in and blocking the hole. You can fill in all cracks and crevices from the walls to the basement to the attic to ensure the rats will not be able to find away into your home.Andrew Smith runs Howtoall, a guide on how to do things on various topics, including tips on home improvement.http://www.howtoall.com/Homefiles/Homehowtos.htmhttp://www.howtoall.com/Homefiles/howtobuytherightstorageshed2.htmhttp://www.howtoall.com/Homefiles/howtoinstallgranitecountertops9.htm

Why Did I Eat So Much Last Night?

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

If you are asking yourself why I eat so much at night, I have some answers for you!

It is time to start with a damaging admission, I have failed at many diets. From Overeaters Anonymous to Weight Watchers, Slim Fast and Body for Life just to name a few.

At what time of day did these diets fall apart?

Nighttime

So what is the reason this happened again and again?

I am going to list a few of the main reasons why this happened and then we can search for solutions. We all know the beginning of the answer is in recognizing the problem. So the good news is you are half way there.

Top 3 Reasons why many of fail in our diets at night:

1. Too few calories during the day
2. Emotional low point = low willpower
3. Sugar cravings that gain momentum throughout the day and explode at night

How a low carb diet solved these issues for me

The beauty of a low carb diet is that it is not low calorie. So having that steak for dinner or the chicken with the skin meant that I had plenty of calories in my body. My body did not feel deprived so it gave my appetite a rest.

Most of our emotional issues at nigh with our diet is from eating lousy foods that we never would be caught eating if we where not on a diet.

Sugar cravings go away after about three days on a strict low carb diet. How many times was there one cookie that ended up in the whole box being eaten?

Was this my only secret that has helped me?

No!

What really helped was some writing I did that summarized exactly what I needed to do to win at my diet plan.

Would you like to get a copy of my summary?

Then just click on low carb nighttime.

Nokia’s New Innovation For Cell Phones

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

As Audiovox Cell Phones No Contracts pulls a few rabbits out of the hat in the No Contract Cell Phones industry, Nokia Cell Phones has pulled out a nice promotional strategy to sweeten their already solid deals on smart phones. They have decided that for ten of their cell phones they’re going to give away absolutely free navigation software with it. This navigation software is built into the phone and works without wireless web, thus if no web is available navigating a new city or neighborhood is still as easy as ever.

The concept behind it is to give the customers a quality product that has become about a requirement in this point in time and therefore help the mobile sales. That’s not to say Nokia Cell Phones is suffering in the market, they are not, but why not give the company a boost if it is possible. And the navigation programme which they are offering isn’t just one that works without wireless net but it is also one that features turn by turn directions, travel guides and even voice prompts.

The move is said to hurt outside corporations that make navigation software for phones like iPhone and sell it for more than free. Nonetheless if Nokia Cell Phones can afford to make such a move there is not any reason not to. After all , it is their prerogative. And as consumers we’ve got to like that the contest has gotten so tight that now things we could have payed for anyway are to be given to us for free . But it is’s similarly nice that regardless of whether we aren’t able to buy such products we are still getting them.

The smartphone market has truly amped up in the year with many corporations understanding what is needed to be successful in this new landscape and breaking the contest completely open. There is now no clear cut leader in the industry rather some firms all becoming more leading edge and giving the customer a plenitude to select from. And again, Nokia Cell Phones as well as many other companies revving up the competition has only made a more pleasurable market for consumers. Better products, less expensive products, more offers, and there seems no end visible. This author is just waiting for a free phone and service plan, and then he’ll be ecstatic. O.K, so I’m being a bit precocious, but the reader does understand the point that is being made, right? It’s a patrons market and there is not any reason to not be content about it.

Moblin Becoming Top Of The Line Browser

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

Siemens Cell Phones No Contract gradually promoted its No Contract Cell Phones for the benefit of its users on the computer. The PC chip maker, Intel, is now attempting to stake its claim in the 3G Cell Phones / smart phone industry. They are claimed to be making an open source OS for mobile devices known as Moblin, hoping to branch out of its regular business confines of microprocessors. It is just one of many PC and Internet based companies that’s now attempting to get in on the smart phone revolution.

Moblin, which stands for Mobile Linux, offers panel-based navigation to browse running programs, widget based social networking applications as well as a Firefox browser. Intel will allow programmers and developers write programs that may work on multiple platforms as well as different sorts of computers.

The idea behind the Intel company move is to break into the cellular industry because as 3G Cell Phones become more the standard for accessing the Net it becomes important that these once top of the line computer and software makers aren’t left in the dust of newer leading edge corporations. This marks a stretch in the business in which software makers must make the leap, whether they love it or not, into the smart phone industry. Necessarily this is where the computing industry is heading. Fully, no. Computers and desktops are as preferred and as essential as ever but to think a company can sit back and watch others take command of the growing 3G cell phone / Smartphones industry is simply ridiculous.

This industry is a money maker and a place where companies can show off leading edge creativity and become quite experimental. But those that do not get on board shortly I fear will never get another opportunity to join in. It’s good to see these firms finally testing the waters, and it’s excellent for us purchasers, more competition between the companies and likely better products, too.

Yes, it is the innovativeness and the competition between corporations that should make customers most happy. When more corporations like Apple, Microsoft, Google and Intel get into the mix the more ideas are shared and the better products are produced. The technical geniuses that are now competing for our business, and the only way to get that business it make the most appropriate goods available. So permit the invention take over while we simply choose which we like best. I guarantee by the end of the current year we’re going to see things on smart phones that we never thought practicable. Remember that. Don’t say I didn’t tell you so.

Why Your WHY Is The Secret Key To Success In Your Business

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

Truly dedicated business owners think differently. We have a powerful “why.”

Let’s be honest. You may not know all the “how-tos” but your “why” provides powerful momentum that prods you and every committed business owner to keep going. After all, a famous best-selling author I worked with for years once said to me, “’How?’ is always the weakest question.”

Even in those moments when you’re clueless about what to do next or when you face obstacles. You don’t need more how-tos. There are plenty of those in books. Your “why” and your passion pushes you from within. You probably couldn’t imagine living any other way. Your business isn’t something squeezed in around the edges of your life. It’s a central focus of your life.

After all, success for most of us isn’t about clawing to the top for a corner office and a closet full of expensive suits. Success is defined a little differently by every business owner. It’s about living life on your terms. Doing what you want to do when you want to do it.

Here’s how business owners with a powerful “why” think and act:

• When we sleep we’re re-charging our batteries for business.
• When we work out we might be brainstorming for business.
• When we jump in the shower we come up with great business ideas.
• While in the car on the phone setting up a meeting for our business.
• After we meditate or pray our head is clear for business.
• When we go out with our spouse or partner, we’re enjoying the fruits of our business and our results.

As a business owner, having a powerful “why” is essential to help you:

• Build momentum and move a lot of energy
• Keep your business on an even keel even when “life happens.”
• Grow and take risks, even when you’re out of your comfort zone.
• Develop credibility among your peers that you’ll be there for them.
• Find ingenious solutions when you don’t know what to do next.
• Make the law of attraction at work for you so the right people show up.
• Keep your enthusiasm and confidence level up even when things don’t go your way.

If you’re “why” has become fuzzy or unclear over time or your momentum has slowed, wouldn’t it be great to get back that spark, that belief in yourself, that “Yesssssss!” feeling?

One secret essential to the success of many business owners is participating in a MasterMinding group. A MasterMinding group helps you remain passionate, confident and connected to your “why.” These small groups of wise, dedicated business owners provide support, encouragement and a swift kick that increases your confidence and your belief in what you can achieve. And studies have proven over and over that people are attracted to people who are confident in both business and in our personal lives. It’s about mindset, confidence and great ideas frequently percolate, too.

I’ve been part of MasterMinding groups for over 16 years. They’ve helped me keep focused on my “why” and develop the confidence needed to do great things. We meet weekly and support each other in achieving our goals and dreams – and in ninety minutes magic happens. Your partners provide support and believe for you what you may not be ready to believe for yourself yet.

Are you:

• Dedicated to success but not as enthusiastic as you used to be?
• Working as hard as ever and not getting the results you deserve?
• Feeling unfocused and overwhelmed because you’re pulled in so many different directions?
• Ready to go to the next level with your business but you need a swift kick to motivate you to take the next step?
• Open to the idea of giving and receiving support as you increase your confidence and your belief in yourself?

Any goal that impacts you as a business owner you bring to a MasterMinding group. So, if you’re having a challenge with sales and getting new customers bring it to your group. On the other hand, if your health and fitness is impacting your business – discuss it with your MasterMinding group. After all, if your personal life isn’t working it will eventually impact your business results.

Martin Luther King said, “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”

Week-by-week and step-by-step a MasterMinding group can help you become your best self as a business owner and the person you always dreamed of. If you’re a wise business owner still committed to enjoying the success you deserve positive support and encouragement can make all the difference.

Nokia Money Takes The Battle For Easy Payments

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Panasonic Cell Phones No Contract have been in and out of battles with other No Contract Cell Phone companies for quite some time. In the middle of a crazy battle for clients, the smartphone and cell phone firms are doing everything critical to claim their place and keep their customers. Nokia cell phones have just commented that they are going to be beginning a monetary payment service known as Nokia Money.

Nokia Money will be the use of money exclusively through the users handheld device. These devices will permit users to send money to each other, pay their Nokia cell phone bill, pay a range of other bills and purchase items such as museum tickets and concert tickets online, among other things. This may permit patrons to save money and time on traveling to pay certain bills and purchase certain items. It is especially helpful for those in rustic areas who simply aren’t close to the facilities us in the town are accustomed to. With Nokia Money these loyal shoppers won’t have to travel simply to pay a bill or buy something for the future, instead they will be able to do it from the amenity of their home or wherever they may be and can avoid the hassle they otherwise may have sustained.

The money is straightforward and secure to utilize and is there solely for the advantage of purchasers, not to suffer charges or make things difficult for buyers. It is leading edge, creative and consumer friendly ideas like this that will truly help cell phone companies in such a competitive time of their industry. No longer is just providing a handset enough. If the mobile devices are not rich in multimedia or business features then the corporations must come up with other concepts. Or ideally, come up with innovative new phones and new ways to help purchasers. That is precisely what Nokia Cell Phones has done. They are helping clients, which should insure fidelity in the future but have also provided a service that many are not getting, something that some people could be prepared to switch service providers for.

This is a competitive market and those that don’t treat it as such will suffer. Nokia cell phones with their Nokia Money have likely made a sensible and creative decision that will keep them on the inside track to fulfillment in the future. What will their next innovative phone concept be? That will need to wait till next time but judging from this it should be a something in the way of potency, always a powerful suite for Nokia.

The iPhone’s Amazing Technology

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

MetroPCS Cell Phones No Contract became one of the most extraordinary firms in No Contract Cell Phones history but unable to comply against the bone crushing iPhone. The iPhone is a top-tier smartphone, no questions about it, with the help of ATT Cell Phones. While a bunch of competition has come into the smartphone picture, a world that was once dominated by the iPhone, ATT cell phones and Blackberry cell phones, it still appears like the iPhone is a market favorite. Imitation is the greatest sort of flattery, and the iPhone has had masses of that, but who needs flattery when you’re phone is boasting some of its best number to date?

Yes, a day before Apple was set to reveal its new computer, they set a record for fourth quarter profits. Apparently they sold 8.7 million iPhones in the quarter. That is’s more than they sold in all of 2008! The companies’ quarterly profit climbed from 2.3 billion a year back to 3.4 billion this year and the total revenue between the 2 years went from 11.9 billion~ to 15.7 billion dollars. These numbers proved enough to be their best quarter ever and if the tablet does well, things might continue getting better. It’s fantastic a computing giant went from precisely producing PCs right into the world of cell phones with the help of ATT Cell Phones, and in the matter of four or 5 years. But it is’s not that cut and dry, no this company revolutionized the cell phone industry with applications ( often referred to as applications ) miniscule programs that may be downloaded to the device for a little fee or free, that may go from cooking instructions to music minutiae. They also brought the patented multi-touch screen to the table, a feature where, with two fingers, one can zoom in or out on the touch sensitive screen. These are the tiny things that are making the gigantic difference for the company at this juncture.

It’s truly amazing the inventiveness that comes with this company as well as the design schemes. It’s all so clean and elegant, and the functionality simply can’t be beat. But to round it off, their invention has rubbed off onto other firms leading to more creative and out of the box thinking, and so, giving the customers better products, more frequently. Yes now Blackberry and ATT Cell Phones have rethought some of their concepts and corporations like HTC, Google and Samsung have all stepped out into this new sector of smartphone inventiveness, giving way to healthy competition and great products. Sometimes all are inspired when one gets the metaphorical light bulb turn on in the head. And we can’t be happier about it.

3G Vs 4G – The BIG Difference

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

2G technology is the most widely used network technology for mobile phones. More than 80% of cellular phone users around the world use 2G technology at present. One disadvantage that 2G has compared to 3G technology is that data rates are limited – it is relatively slower than 3G. Lower data transfer speed means slower music and video downloads, problems when making a video conference call, or long waits for sending/receiving large media messages.

That is the main reason for the development of newer network technologies such as 3G that offer a data transfer speed of up to 2Mbps (2 Mega Bits per second). Anyone using a 3G phone knows that that is far from being true; in fact, it almost never exceeds 384Kbps, at most.

A new technology being developed these days, 4G, will supposedly allow data transfer speeds as high as 100Mbps (50 times faster than today’s 3G!) outdoors, and a blasting 1Gbps indoors.

So what are the main features of 4G technology?

- Wireless internet with a bandwidth much wider than the 2G or the 3G – 100 MHZ.
- Much higher data transfer speed – up to 1Gbps.
- Video conference calls – with more than 2 callers, and due to the faster data transfer rates, less problems; also, will not get stuck as often as it does with 3G.
- Improved security features to prevent frauds and theft.
- On account of the wider bandwidths, data transfers will be relatively cheap

There are not enough details about 4G technology to compare with other technologies. Without a doubt it will be better, faster, and probably cheaper, but all users would have to get the new devices, meaning compatible devices (which probably aren’t going to be cheap), and wait for the new networks and antennas that will go with this newest technology.

Anyway, NTT DoCoMo, the Japanese company working on developing 4G technology in association with HP, estimates that 4G services will be launched (in Japan only) somewhere between 2010-2016, and it will probably take a couple more years after that for it to get to the United States so that we still have plenty of time to adjust and get ready.
