3G Internet and beyond

I’m only just getting used the concept of mobile broadband; what with all the talk of laptops, dongles, USB ports and 3G internet I sometimes feel I might be communicating with someone off the set of Star Trek. Now the latest is a 3G Touch Watch Phone.

LG Electronics has announced it will unveil a wearable ‘3G Touch Watch Phone’ next year. The GD910 3G Touch Watch Phone will deliver the functions of a mobile phone on a small size watch like device. Equipped with a 1.43″ full touch screen the 3G Touch Watch Phone supports 3G HSDPA at speeds to 7.2Mbps, features mp3 playback, Bluetooth connectivity as well as video telephony with a built-in camera and operates text to speech. Other details of this device have not yet been announced except the thickness of the mobile body is 13.9mm. According to the company, the 3G Touch Watch Phone is expected to be available in the European market during 2009.

Well, what can I say, except… Wow. But I think I’ll stick with laptops, dongles and WiFi hotspots for just for the moment. In fact I’ve been considering mobile broadband for some time now. Mobile Broadband sounds terrific, but it’s got to cost a fortune. Actually after a bit of asking around there are many affordable mobile broadband offers you can choose from, and a variety of companies now offer great mobile broadband packages. I was recommended Mobile Broadband Genie which is a web service which provides expert advice and information to help you decide on which broadband services to purchase. It has some excellent offers to entice you to sign up to Mobile Internet broadband service.

I’m gonna go now and take another look at mobile.broadbandgenie.co.uk. Beam me up Scottie…

Reduce Your Phone Bill

Filed under: World Of Telecommunication @ 4:10 am

If you want to save money this Christmas a great idea is to switch your phone over to a VoIP alternative. There are lots of providers to choose from, and the competition is high which means prices are low. In fact, with many providers, calls to other subscribers are actually free. I often make a lot of calls to my cousin, so being able to make cheap calls to Turkey has saved me a tidy sum which will come in very handy for Christmas.

I really enjoy being able to spend as long as I wish on the phone without panicking about the phone bill. Sometimes I just ring my cousin, put in on hands free and leave it connected! It’s like the distance between us becomes immaterial! I’ve made some great savings already so I should think of a good way to invest the extra money that I have saved. I’m thinking I could put it towards a holiday in the Maldives perhaps before the rising oceans slowly reclaim them. My friend went recently scuba diving there and it looks beautiful, the fantastic thing is using VoIP its quite feasible for me to ring the Maldives to enquire about hotel prices myself rather than having to resort to a travel agent. It will be a few phone bills yet though I fear before I have saved up enough money for that flight.
