I like the Samsung Vibrant because of its beautiful four inch AMOLED display, its smooth and modernistic design, and its rich variety of entertainment. The four inch display is a gift to my eyes. I have never had a display so realistic on a phone; the amount of detail visible on the screen is nothing short of amazing. And because it’s anti reflective, if I want to watch a video a friend sent me, or play a game I’ve been trying to beat, or even just sit down and have a good read, I can do any of these things whether I’m indoors or outdoors in bright sunlight. And thanks to the wide variety of Samsung Vibrant screen protectors available online or in stores, I can carry my Vibrant with me and enjoy the beautiful display without any concern for surface damage.

The second reason I like the Samsung Vibrant is because of its sleek and modernistic design. The Vibrant is exceptionally light and exceptionally fun to look at. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a slimmer smart phone. Its thin, light, and attractive design makes me want to take it everywhere with me, and whenever I show it off in public, I attract viewers. I’ve never thought about a phone as being fashionable before, but with my Vibrant, I realize I’m holding something stylish in my hands, and so do all of my friends. And thanks to the wide variety of Samsung Vibrant accessories available online or in stores, if there’s anything I need for my Vibrant, such as a case to prevent scratches during use, I can purchase it with ease, and know that my Vibrant will continue to look sleek and modernistic for as long as I own it.

The third reason I like the Samsung Vibrant is because of its extensive offerings for entertainment and creativity. I was delighted to hear that every Vibrant came included with the blockbuster hit Avatar, the 3D film that impressed audiences throughout the world. Now I can watch it whenever I want, thanks to my Vibrant! And every movie I watch will be available with a spectacular 3D sound system inside the phone. And when I don’t feel like watching movies, I can play The Sims 3 Mobile Edition, which also ships with every Vibrant. Or if I feel like reading something, there are potentially 600,000 different books I can choose from in Amazon’s Marketplace, thanks to the Amazon Kindle application that comes with Android and my Vibrant. And thanks to the wide variety of Samsung Vibrant batteries available online or in stores, I can take my Vibrant with me everywhere I go, safe with the knowledge that I will be able to replace the battery if it dies while I am in the middle of enjoying one of the many entertainment features that come with the Vibrant.

Today Verizon threw its hat into the ring to compete against the other smart phone heavyweights. This Android powered phone has been anxiously awaited by Verizon clients and Android fans, as it promises the best combination of technology and features offered for Android (and arguably all smart phones.

This launch of Droid X kicked off with a feel good partnership agreement involving Google and Verizon. The promise for Flash support was emphasized by the presence of Shantanu Narayen, CEO of Adobe Systems. He may not be as media friendly as Steve Jobs, but his presence shows the seriousness that all three companies have, and promises that the Droid X will be the first smart phone to deliver on native Adobe Flash support.

Unfortunately, the corporate types felt compelled to tell us things we already know. Mobility is more than just a phone, it is an arrangement of software, networking, hardware, how the platform’s maturity rate parallels with other platforms throughout the years, and so on and so forth. We know this already, so why do these launch events always talk down to their audience? The general public aren’t the ones who tend to go to these launch events. Anyone who takes the time to show up is obviously interested in the category and is aware of the changing nature of mobile communications.

That aside, now the good stuff. They get into feature details that promise a lot of entertainment for Droid X owners. Of course there will be Verizon’s V CAST video support. But they also announced partnerships to deliver content from NFL Mobile, Skype, Blockbuster video rentals on the go, as well as a backup assistant to protect your data (presumably for when you throw the phone to the ground in rage if your NFL team loses to its rivals).

As for some of the specs, the screen size is 4.3″ diagonally. This is a pretty big phone, but the extra screen real estate will come in handy. With one of the biggest LCD screens, a Droid X screen protector is recommended to keep the screen clean and scratch-free. It seems a little defensive by taking a shot at higher resolution screens such as the iPhone, claiming that when asked consumers would choose a bigger screen. But the audience gives a laugh at the “quantity vs quality” jab.

The processor is a 1 GHz OMAP chip, it sports 8GB of RAM memory, and 16GB of storage. It includes an expansion card to add up to 32GB for a total of 40GB of storage. It has a multi-touch keyboard using Swype.

It can serve as a WiFi hotspot, so you can use your phone’s Internet connection to connect your laptop to surf or check email. They say you can connect up to five devices, though I can’t imagine the speed would be acceptable with that many devices sharing the phone’s Internet connection.

As for voice communications, it includes three microphones, each having its own function: one is for telephone calls, one for video calls, and one is used for background noise cancellation. It includes Bluetooth voice dialing.

For corporate users, this includes MS Exchange and Gmail Enterprise support. As expected, it allows push email, remote management/data wipe, and other IT department pleasers.

Adobe Flash 10.1 we are told has been completely rewritten to support the Droid platform better.

In regards to flash, the 8mb digital camera has a flash for when you taking photos. It also can record 720p HD video. It includes an HDMI out to connect your phone to your TV so you can share photos and videos.

The data plans announced is $29.99 for unlimited download, and you can add WiFi tethering for $20 including 2GB of data. I am not certain to why you need an extra 2GB of data if the $29.99 plan is “unlimited,” but I am sure this will become clear shortly. Perhaps the 2GB limit with 5 cents per MB overage limit is for tethering only, and any data used on the phone is unlimited.

The Motorola Droid X will be available July 15th, at $199 after rebate. The price is just right, you’ll probably even have enough money to buy Motorola Droid X accessories. They announced that this phone will be US only, though i’m sure there will be similar devices created for other parts of the world.

Will this be the one to finally “kill” the iPhone? Who knows? But it is definitely a heavy hitter to go against all the other smart phones. It is unlikely to see people leaving their service providers and flock to verizon, just how a lot of other people did when they moved to at&t for the iphone. But for Verizon customers that have iPhone envy, this is a very good reason to stay with Verizon.

Inside the midst of a crazy battle for buyers, the smartphone and cell phone companies are doing anything and everything essential to claim their place and maintain their clients. Nokia cell phones, as well as Nokia Cell Phones No Contract, have just announced that they is going to be starting a financial payment assistance known as Nokia Money. This feature does not, however, appear in other no contract cell phones.

Nokia Money is going to be the use of money exclusively by means of the users handheld device. These devices will enable users to send cash to one another, pay out their Nokia cell cellular phone bill, pay a variety of other bills and purchase products such as museum tickets and concert tickets on the web, among other items. This will permit buyers to save funds and time on traveling to spend particular bills and invest in specific items. It is particularly useful for those in rural areas who simply usually are not close to the amenities us in the city are accustomed to. With Nokia Money these loyal buyers won’t have to travel just to pay a bill or buy something for that future, instead they will be able to do it from the convenience of their home or wherever they may possibly be and can avoid all the hassle they otherwise might have incurred.

The cash is straightforward and secure to use and is there solely for that benefit of clients, not to incur charges or make things difficult for customers. It can be innovative, creative and consumer friendly ideas like this that will actually assist cell phone businesses in such a competitive era of their business. No longer is merely providing a handset sufficient. If the mobile devices aren’t rich in multimedia or business functions then the businesses must come up with other suggestions. Or ideally, make up with innovative new phones and new techniques to aid customers. That is exactly what Nokia Cell Phones has done. They’re helping clients, which will insure loyalty within the long term but have also provided a support that many usually are not acquiring, some thing that some people may possibly be willing to switch support providers for.

This is really a competitive market and individuals who don’t treat it as such will suffer. Nokia cell phones with their Nokia Money have likely made a wise and creative choice that will maintain them on the inside track to success in the long term. What will their next innovative telephone idea be? Which will have to wait till following time but judging from this it ought to be a something in the way of efficiency, often a strong suite for Nokia.
