Dad buys Sat Nav

November 25th, 2009

A brand new gadget has hit the car of the man of the house and it comes in the form of a Sat Nav. He was perhaps a bit lucky as he managed to pick it up through his company, we have had several problems with the product though.

The product itself is fantastic, a brilliant idea for someone who doesn’t want to constantly pull over and read a map or listen to the wife telling you the wrong directions. The trouble is however that there are times where the Sat Nav is wrong and will lead you onto the wrong road and then shout at you for going the wrong way. On one occassion the crazy contraption tried to lead us into a road that wasnt even there.

Another issue with the product is that it is being used for the simplest of trips and because you are busy waiting for the voice to say “turn left” or “speed camera” it actually ends up taking longer than it would without it. I

The Sat Nav can be useful if you are on you way into another country. Sometimes it can be nice to hear directions from a person who speaks english when you are abroad and providing it points you in the right direction it can be useful for that.

Replacing them is not easy either which is why some form of Sat Nav Insurance will need to be taken out to avoid nasty replacement costs. Of course you could get gadget insurance as this actually sets out to cover you against other things like phones and games consoles. It is not always necesscary to take out that extra mobile phone insurance

Look After Your Mobile Phone

October 10th, 2009

We never think it will happen to us, and then it does. In my case this has happened twice. I am, of course, talking about losing my mobile phone.

The first time I lost my valuable mobile was due to too many beers on a boys night out. Thinking back I was using my mobile phone on my way home and must have left it on the back seat of the taxi. The following morning, when I realized what had happened, I called the cab firm only to hear that my phone had not been found.It was suddenly painfully clear how much of my life was actually stored on my little mobile telephone.

I vowed that I would be far more careful in future and get myself some mobile phone insurance to cover the cost of replacement. The expense was actually the last thing on my mind as I’d lost a whole load of important telephone numbers and contact details that weren’t stored anywhere else.

Everybody does it. We run into an old friend and we immediately input their contact details into our telephones and don’t think about transferring those details to our computers or some sort of backup device, like an address book.

The second time I lost my mobile phone was on another night out but this time I wasn’t the worse for drink. I was convinced that a pickpocket had lifted my mobile from my pocket in the nightclub. It’smore likely that I dropped it on the floor when getting some cash from my pocket at the bar. I told the club staff but my new phone never turned up.

Unfortunately I had not taken out the mobile phone insurance policy that I’d said I would. But my experience the last time I’d lost my phone had led to my making note of most of the contact details on my phone.

Is there a moral to this tale? Maybe a small one. But I recommend that you routinely backup all of the contact details stored on your phone and get yourself some insurance cover.

Sony Ericsson P990i is one of the many cellular devices produced by a company with a worldwide reputation in communications and electronics. As it happens with most other electronic devices, there are good bits and bad bits about this product that should be carefully taken into consideration before going shopping.

According to both users and experts Sony Ericsson P990i is one of the best of Sony Ericsson mobiles in the smart-phone category. It has a sleek design and it incorporates a QWERTY keyboard with the latest developments in mobile phone technology. The business card scanner, the video recording option with the Wi-Fi networks, the 3G/UMTS platforms, the music player, the good photo camera, make by far the best advertising means for this cellular.

The weak part of Sony Ericsson P990i are the size, as it is a bit bulky, the fact that the  QWERTY keyboard is considered too small by some users, and the price, which is too high, making it less affordable. Thus, although a really nice choice for tech-oriented users, this telephone comes for too high a price for many buyers who may be tempted to look for it.

The installed memory of Sony Ericsson P990i is of 64 megabytes, while it also includes an external memory device. There are many elements that this design provides for messaging/data services, and here we refer to WAP 2.0, email applications, messaging, voice mail, Internet browser, JAVA applications and many others.

The phone also is also jam-packed with a lot of features from the cellular domain such as WCDMA (UMTS)/GMS technology, WCDMA (UMTS)/GSM 900/1800/1900, vibrating alert, automatic redial, call divert, call barring, call hold, call timer, caller ID, call waiting, volume control, internal antenna, ringer control, conference call capability, computer link, speakerphone, voice recorder, call transfer, polyphonic ringer, melody composer and so on.

Let us not overlook additional features that are also worth considering such as video clip recording and Radio Data Service, Bluetooth, IEE 802.11b or Infrared. Music lovers also benefit from the AAC, MP3 digital audio standards of Sony Ericsson P990i. Moreover, you should consider the talk time of up to 540 minutes and the standby time of up to 400 hours. Plus, it’s hard to miss the battery alert for recharging.

Ever since Sony Ericsson P990i was presented by the company in its concept form, many people have waited for its release as the P990i remains a serious smart phone that will satisfy tech-minded consumers and professionals. But, as mentioned before, the phone doesn’t come cheap at all and not anyone can afford it.
