I am lucky enough that one by one my wishes are coming true. When I was still a student I dreamed of being able to buy the different stuffs with my hard earned money. Of course when you are a student you cannot afford these gadgets since mostly they are expensive. Now that I am working I have already bought a couple of things to satisfy the techy side of me. For my first salary I bought a digital camera. It is quite useful for me since I go out a lot and I wanted to capture and keep the special moments. The next one that I bought was my Iphone 3G. This phone is really fascinating. It has many functions like surfing the net, storing files, playing games when I am bored and I get download free ring tones. For my next purchase I would like to have a laptop preferably a Macbook Pro. For this one I have to work hard and save a lot first since this cost much yet I still hope that I can be able to buy it in the near future.

The world mobile congress showed us just what’s in store for us over 2009 with some truly irresistible handsets looking set to be released over the next 2 quarters. Mind you the top end phones will be on expensive tariffs, so make sure that you shop around for the best mobile phone deals. So what do we have in store for 2009? The handsets that stood out for me were the Sony Ericsson W995, a walkman phone that comes with an 8MP camera. Now that is what I’m talking about!!! The other phone is the Samsung Omnia HD. Both of these handsets are building what has gone before them and we think that come November, they will be topping all our most wanted lists. Manufacturers seem hell bent on pushing the boundaries of what is possible, despite the downturn in the economy at the moment. Surely it is a good thing for us as consumers?

Whether you are after a new mobile broadband contract or a new mobile phone deal, you can be offered a wide range of free gifts and cash to encourage you to sign on the dotted line. But are these deals all they are cracked up to be? Or are there some hidden charges that make these deals less glamorous in the future? To understand the value of mobile phones with free gifts, you need to look at what you are getting. With most companies you will receive your free gift after 1 month of using your mobile phone and having paid your first bill. This is to prevent fraud and is a reasonable step to take by the operators to ensure that you are committed to your mobile phone contract. The upside is that you will receive a great free gift like an lcd TV or Nintendo Wii, simply for signing up for a mobile phone contract that you would have done anyway. It is a great way to get a little bit extra in return for paying your monthly mobile phone bill.

Finding good value mobile phone contracts is no easy task, there are plenty of different offers out there, ranging from the extremely expensive, to the very cheap. A phone like the Nokia N86 will be a rather more expensive phone than the Nokia 6600 slide for example and so it is therefore crucial that you decide exactly what it is you are looking for from your next mobile phone deal. A couple of tips to help you along the way are as follows
1) Decide what kind of plan suits you best. Do you use your mobile phone a lot? If you do then a contract is more likely to be the better option
2) Compare the market. Moby1 compares mobile phone deals from a wide range of retailers to bring you pretty good prices.
3) Choose a handset that is right for you. If you aren’t going to use all the bells and whistles on a phone, then don’t bother getting an expensive phone. You will only end up paying for it in the long run.
If you follow these simple rules, then you should be able to save a decent amount of cash on your next mobile phone deal.

I recently acquired a new mobile phone. The Blackberry curve is offered as a special deal by several network providers like T-mobile, Sprint, Verizon, etc. What are the ups and downs of this phone though? Is it really worthwhile? Well, letʼs start with the bad news. Blackberry brings out the curve as a pretty huge phone although the screen is still pretty small. And if you tech-savvy people out there are into the touch screens, this isnʼt the phone for you. The QWERTY keyboard is a bit tight and sometimes you may hit the wrong key especially if you have big thumbs like me. The curve still has a white trackball that seems to shift to black after time though. By the way, this phone doesnʼt have a video camera but does take pictures. But the good news comes next. Itʼs great to be able to check your email anywhere you go with the curve and Wi-Fi capability doesnʼt hurt as well. And of course instant messaging helps out a lot if youʼre trying not to text too much. Overall, the curve gets 8 out of 10.

Touch screens are sweeping the nation. The classic I-Phone is now an institution in the world of touch screens. The i-phone has an abundant array of features similar to that of a laptop. It does however fall short regarding because all these features can only be used if you subscribe to a specific service provider. But for those of you who donʼt mind this, the i-phone is an excellent to on-the-go and for business ventures. Blackberry recently came out with its own version of a touch screen in the form of the long-awaited blackberry storm. The new sleek look of the storm gives an aesthetic advantage against the i-phone. However, feature-wise the i-phone was prepared for battle. Blackberry still has its perks but, it needs to go back into training to match qualities and character of the i-phone.

Global Positioning Systems or GPS have become a must now in the automotive industry. Originally only a select few cars had these systems built into their dash boards. Those of course were the luxury vehicles retailed in the US. The GPS devices now sold in stores are handheld and give you the option of use while driving or walking. However these devices do have their limitations. Maps for these technical toys are currently only provided for the most part of northern America. Thus, international use is not yet reliable. The industry though is currently highly promising due to the quick advances in map production companies like Google maps. In a few years, finding your way from continent to continent will be as easy as touching a screen.
