What is the Government Doing to Your Cell Phone?

October 3rd, 2011
14 Comments »

twitter.com – MSNBC reported that the Department of Transportation is considering software that, if you reach a certain speed in your car, would disable your cell phone from use. If this isn’t Big Brother, then I don’t know what is. As quickly as it comes out, it’ll be hacked and disabled, so what’s the point? Spend that money on educating the idiots who text and drive and kill people; don’t punish the masses! – youtube.com

Nokia’s N95 Dual-sliding Powerhouse Smart Phone

Nokia’s N95 Dual-sliding Powerhouse Smart Phone

While it shares much with the Nokia N80 in terms of both design and functionality, Nokia’s N95, the subject of this review, takes the capabilities of a mobile phone to a new level. On paper, at least, there appears to be little that this Finnish wonder can’t do. It has quad-band GSM/EDGE support and 2100MHz UMTS as well as a 5 megapixel auto focus camera, a built-in GPS receiver, Bluetooth stereo support, and 802.11b/g WLAN support.

Considering all the features that are packed into the Nokia N95, you’d think it would be a pretty hefty phone, but not so, my friends. The N95 measures a compact 3.8 inches long by 2.1 inches wide by 0.8 inch thick and weighs only 4.2 ounces. It feels comfortable to hold, and the soft-touch finish on the back of the device makes it easier to grip. That said, we couldn’t help but think that the phone felt, well, kind of cheap. In particular, the front cover felt plasticky and rickety (more on this below). From an aesthetic standpoint, the N95 certainly falls more into the short and stocky category rather than svelte and sexy, but we think it’s still a good-looking phone with its plum-and-silver color scheme.

The GPS is really GPS, not some assisted-GPS that Sprint and Verizon have in their phones. That means you can really navigate with it, like I did, to streets around SF I wasn’t too familiar with. (Specifically, the corner of Washington and Cherry, close to where the Zodiac killer blew away a Cabbie so many years ago.) The point of interest database is sizable and you can search for things by proximity (the nearest ATM or liquor store), and then get the phone dialing right up. Turn by turn is a subscription that’ll cost you about a month, and the voice nave won’t read street names, but that, and the phone’s persistent Lag aside, it rocks.

Other features include finding the nearest location in a certain category from a Point Of Information database (e.g. finding your nearest public transport station), storing landmarks (favourite locations), and switching to night colours. Maps is a very impressive application, which we will be covering in more detail later. In use, I found the GPS took a few minutes to ‘lock on’ when inside (next to a window) from a cold start; outside it was much quicker, as expected, and soft starts were faster still (a matter of a few seconds). A subjective first impression suggests the N95 has similar capabilities to SIRF II GPS chipsets. As with any GPS, performance will vary on your location and degree of visibility of satellites.

Features of the Nokia N95 include:

* Series 60 Symbian interface (version 3.1)

* 5 megapixel camera (2592 x 1944 pixels) with Carl Zeiss optics, Tessar lens, auto focus, flash (auto redeye reduction), 20x digital zoom

* Video camera: MPEG4/3GP VGA video capture at 640 x 480 pixels and 30 frames/second with digital stereo microphone (AAC format) and 10x digital zoom

* Front camera for video calling: CIF resolution (352 x 288 pixels)

* Video and still image editors

* Display: TFT, 16 million colours, 240 x 320 pixels (2.6 inches)

* Digital music player (supports MP3/AAC/AAC+/eAAC+/WMA/M4A formats)

* Stereo FM radio with Visual Radio support

* Built-in GPS navigation

* Speaker independent name dialing

* Voice commands

* Voice recorder

* Integrated hands-free speaker

* Speed dialing

* Java games

* Memory: 160 Mbytes plus microSD memory card slot (4 Gbytes or 8 Gbytes)

* Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, Infrared, TV-Out, WLAN (802.11 b/g), 3.5 mm stereo headphone plug

* Advanced contacts database with support for multiple phone and e-mail details per entry

* Logs: dialed, received, and missed calls

* WAP, EGPRS class B, WCDMA/HSDPA (3.6Mb/s download)

* Size: 99 x 53 x 21 mm

* Weight: 120g

* Battery standby: 215 hours

Can you listen to radio on a cell phone without a Receiver?

June 16th, 2011
1 Comment »

Question by mantas1111000 mantas1111000: Can you listen to radio on a cell phone without a Receiver?
I need to travel to Vilnius, but I don’t have a portable radio. Because the entire bus will probably be filled with hopeless nerds/engineers, I want to listen to radio, when we travel. But my phone doesn’t have an FM Receiver.

The thing is, the radio is lithuanian, and those, which broadcast through the Internet, don’t stream that station.

Any way to listen to FM radio on a Sony Ericsson S500i?

Best answer:

Answer by Common Sense
No. Try a Walkman. They’re dirt cheap.

Washington State Senate Has Ruled That Drivers Without Cell Phone Headsets Will Be Ticketed

Washington State Senate Has Ruled That Drivers Without Cell Phone Headsets Will Be Ticketed

Cell phones offer us mobility during communication. Headsets enhance this mobility further. Nowadays headsets for cell phone users have become ‘the norm’. Laws in almost all countries have made it mandatory for cell phone users to use headsets while driving. The Washington State Senate has ruled that police will ticket drivers who are either texting or talking on a cell phone without a headset.

Advantages of Using Headsets

First of all headsets improve mobility. Your handset can remain in your pocket while you talk or listen to music with your headset. Your hands are free while using headsets hence headsets are also referred to as hands free.

Secondly you get added privacy while talking calls in crowded public places. The person next to you is also spared from listening to your private conversation. With headsets you hear better and so you shout less. You can listen to music without disturbing the person next to you.

There are two basic families of headsets available in the market today, the wired and wireless versions (Bluetooth).

Within each type, there are a variety of headsets. Any one particular type may not be compatible with all cell phone types or meet the expectations of the customer. Here is a simple breakdown of the types of headsets along with the necessary pros and cons you should consider before buying a particular headset from a store near you or on the internet.

Wired Headsets

The first and oldest family of headset is the ‘wired variety’. These are simply an earpiece and microphone combination at the end of a wire. All cell phone manufacturers make them for their own devices and are often sold as AM products at convenience or corner stores.
The sound quality is good because the signals don’t travel through air that may be affected by external electromagnetic interference. Lastly, they do not need any power source to run, so no charging or batteries are required.

Bluetooth Headsets

These are the more advanced version of headsets which uses Bluetooth technology. The cell phone acts as a Bluetooth transmitter sending signals over a short wave radio frequency. These tend to be more expensive and are often plagued by choppy sound. They even require a separate power source built into them and needs frequent charging. This gives the user more mobility and he does not need to carry his mobile phone on him if he is within the range (10metres max) of Bluetooth enabled phone.

Benefits Of Hands Free Phone Accessories For Your Car

Benefits Of Hands Free Phone Accessories For Your Car

Hands free phone accessories have many advantages. You should not hesitate to buy these accessories because they are cheap and readily available. One of the greatest advantages of these accessories is that they are convenient. This is because you do not have to let go of the steering wheel to have a conversation. You can also do other things on the car while having a conversation. They are particularly helpful if you have a manual car, meaning you have to engage gears with one hand frequently. Another advantage of hands free phone accessories for your car is that they prevent accidents. This is because you will always have both of your hands on the steering wheel. This is particularly important for novice drivers who do not have the skills necessary to drive with one hand.

Hands free phone accessories for your car are important because it is a legal requirement to have them in most states.

In New Jersey, California, New York, Washington, Connecticut, and Oregon, all drivers are not allowed to use handheld cell phones. In DC and the Virgin Islands, drivers are prohibited from talking on handheld cell phones while driving. In all of these states, excluding Washington, it is the police officers who enforce this law. Note that although no state bans the use of all cell phones, drivers under the age of 21 in DC and 21 states are not allowed to use any cell phones while driving. In DC and 17 states, school bus drivers are prohibited from using any cell phone when ferrying students.

Text messaging is just as bad as talking on a handheld cell phone. This is why DC and 19 states ban text messaging while driving. You can get information about the use of all cell phones in the state you are driving to or through from the internet. You should also learn other rules such as the fact that Illinois bans the use of all cell phones in school zones and in highway construction zones, that Maine has laws making it illegal for passers by to drive distracted through the state, and that you are not allowed to use hand-held phones and to text in school zones in Texas. If you know these rules, you will avoid paying hefty fines.

There are many brands of hands free phone accessories for your car. This is because it is a very lucrative business with all the states that ban the use of hand-held phones and with all the new cars that come with these accessories. Examples of these accessories are the EarPollution Reflex Earbuds which is cheap and comfortable, but which has low quality sound, the Jabra Cruiser which has a high quality call quality, stereo audio streaming and FM transmission, and the Shure SE115m+ which are low on quality, but that delivers impressive bass and come with inline microphone and remote for those who have iPhones and iPods, among others. When making the choice, consider your personal preference, the quality of the product and of the sound, the warranty, and the price. Look at as many products as possible.

Spokane Realtors and Washington State New Cell Phone Law

February 19th, 2011

Spokane Realtors and Washington State New Cell Phone Law

On July 1, 2008 Washington State’s new ban on cell phone use went into effect. Anyone who has experienced an accident or near accident with someone who was talking on a cell phone while driving is likely to be pleased. It is also illegal to text while driving. Apparently it is difficult to watch the road and the little buttons on a phone at the same time. With this new law Washington has joined four other states (California, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York) in banning their use while driving. Now, Washingtonians must use an ear piece if they must drive and talk on the phone. It is permissible to press the answer button, but that’s all.

While California, Connecticut, New Jersey and New York all have driving and talking on a cell phone as a primary offense, it is only a secondary offense in Washington. A police officer must observe some other driving infraction to give a citation and then may add the cell phone use as an additional charge.

As an interesting coincidence, I was walking my Airedale Terrier for her three mile walk along the river road the other day, two days into the new law becoming effective, and was nearly hit by hit by three different drivers who all happened to be talking on the phone. I had to laugh to myself and say, well if I don’t like their driving I can stay off the sidewalk.

Realtors and other sales people who spend a lot of time driving will feel the effect of this law. The cell phone has become ubiquitous and essential for those who must stay in communication at all times in order to earn a living. Customers do not want to have to wait for information in this day and age.

Cell phone kiosks and wireless stores have been doing blockbuster business in wireless Blue Tooth headsets. Many people wonder what took so long. Why did it take an act of legislature to drive safely and respectfully of other people on the road. I know my wife said I could drive and text a long time ago.

To all of you sales people and realtors, especially you who drive in Spokane Washington selling all that real estate get a wireless headset soon. Otherwise you may have a 1 additional fine to your otherwise ignorable driving offenses. Now all we have to worry about is the cancer causing radio frequencies looped over the ear all day.
