Reviewing the LG 620g From Straight Talk!

Straight Talk LG 620g
The LG 620g!


I had LG 620g Prepaid Slider Phone (Straight Talk) (Affiliate link) for quite some time.  So I know a lot about it and wanted to talk about it.   Before I start talking about it lets at least get the spec's out of the way:


  • Stylish Slider Phone Design

  • 1.3 Megapixel Camera and Video Recorder

  • MP3 Player (cable and SD card not included)

  • Mobile Web Services

  • Bluetooth® Wireless Technology

  • FM Radio

  • MMS picture messaging

  • Text Messaging

  • Hearing Aid Compatible (HAC) Rating: M3/T3

  • Hands-free Speaker

  • Voice Recorder

  • Voicemail and Call Waiting

  • Key Pad Lock and Alarm Clock

  • Phonebook with up to 1.000 entries

  • Downloadable ringtones and graphics

  • Vibration Alert

  • Polyphonic Ringtones

  • Battery Talk Time up to 5 hours

  • Standby Time up to 9 days

  • Includes Charger and Services Guide

 

The Break down of the Phone!


Pro's for the Phone:


  • Hands-free Speaker -- I used this alot while driving and it worked pretty good when needed.  I had no problem talking to my family or friends .

  • The sliding Phone design -- I like that it was slim and made it quite useful because it minimized the surface area of the phone when not in used.

  • Alarm Clock -- Used this to help wake me up in the mornings and had no problems selecting the alarm type and when to go off.   Great morning wake up for me since I am a light sleeper anyways.

  • Vibration alert -- This was also very useful when you have voicemail or text messages and don't want anyone to know you had a alert go off.

  • Mobile Web Services -- Great plus because I good use all my Google accounts with the phone and check my emails and also use my Google voice service with the phone.

  • Bluetooth --  Worked great with my bluetooth headset and you can use any blue tooth headset you have with it and not have any major problems.

  • MicroSD card -- I used this with my 32 gb Micro SD card and it worked flawlessly to backup contacts and text messages to the SD card.   I can even play MP3 files on it.

  • External Antenna --  I used the Wp-359921 cable to extend the  range of the antenna and not worry about antenna strength.   The antenna connector is located under the battery cover.   You don't have to take the batter y out to use an antenna with it.  It makes it just that much more useful.   You can also use the mobile web with an external antenna.


The Con's:


  • Nine day standby time --  It claims to have a 9 standby time but I seriously doubt that.   I can't be for sure because I used it off and on but know it wouldn't last more than 3 days without needing to be charged while in use.

  • Text Messaging -- Once you get to the 100% filled in text messages you just have to start deleting them but it should have a setting to delete the old messages first as new ones come in.   I don't know if this is something they could implement but It is a pain to go through you text messages and have to manually do it to everyone of them.

  • MMS Picture Messaging  --  I loved having a decent camera but the bad part of it is that I couldn't send to anyone.   I don't know if I just did it wrong or not but it never really worked for me.

 

The Conclusion!


I had this phone but the screen broke.  I would recommend this phone to anyone who might need a cheap Straight Talk phone (Affiliate link).     I guess I should of kept better care of it.   I ordered a Straight Talk Samsung T404G (Affiliate link) and am waiting for it to come in the mail as we speak. I will give you a better overview of the new phone next month sometime.  I like that it can do everyone the 620g can do but also has a sliding keyboard for texting.

Reviewing the Captr II from Cricket Wireless!

Cricket Captr II

Click on Image for More information

I recently bought the Captr 2 and I must say from everything I have done with this phone,  I am really impressed.   So before I begin with my observations, I will at least tell you the specifics of the phone itself:

The Retail Price of this phone is $59.99, even that can be a good thing.    I simply love this phone because of the durability of it and how reliable it has been for me.  I have been using a Plantronics Explorer series Bluetooth headset with this phone for quite some time and have great success with many of the features that come with this.

“What Have I tried?”  you may ask.


I will put it to you this way.   On other phones that I have used a head set on I have had very little success with voice dialing.    After you have trained you phone with your own voice could you dial a number without having to even touch the phone.   I like the fact that I could have it call any number I said and it rarely got it wrong.

The Pro’s of the Phone:

  • Obviously the Voice Commands —  They have fixed common problems with voice commands and it works even better.

  • Size —  I am one of those who like to have a small phone, don’t need any bulky phone to show off.

  • Battery life — Having used it for over 3 weeks.   The Battery life is really good, Only having to charge it every couple days.

  • Cost — It being a low cost phone, almost anyone can afford it.

  • Great for College or Highschool Students —  It being limited on web browsing this is good for cost and still keeping it touch with your kids.


The Con’s:

  • Screen size — If you are used to a big screen then this is something that you will have to get used it.

  • Memory size — The phone memories isn’t as big as an Iphone, so you can’t have unlimited contacts or messages on the phone.


All in all, This phone is great for anyone who is on a tight budget.    I have been really pleased with it.   I definitely will recommend this phone to anyone who might need a low cost phone and still be on a budget.   I have not had it dropped calls from this phone and the signal strength has been over 2 bars anywhere I have went.   Go check out the Captr II for yourself and you will be happy with it like I am!!

I been thinking of getting a new laptop but would like to get one that is good for gaming.   The system I have right now is an Aspire Series 5610z and Yes it a good system.

The current system of this is:

Acer Aspire 5610Z
Intel Pentium dual core 1.6Ghz (533Mhz, 1Mb L2 Cache)
15.4 WXGA CrystalBrite
Intel Grahics Media Accelerator 950
1GB DDR2

[ad#ad2-right]Now I want to consider getting another laptop but don't know which would be good for gaming.  I know it will have Vista.  I actually like the O/S.  Although people don't.   Here is what I want from my readers.  I want to know which system you suggest for gaming, and need as much detail as possilbe I would like to buy this from Amazon but if Amazon, so please give me links to the amazon page.   I am wanting to play some current games on this from last year but this system is not able to do some of the games.  So leave a comment and tell me which ones you suggest.

Vista To release Service Pack 2 in April 2009



[ad#digg-right] Some sources are reporting that Vista SP2 will be out in April.   According to Engadget they claim TechARP is a bunch of Malaysian Kids that like to boast about how they broke the Vista SP1 and XP SP3 release schedules to the world.  They claim though that Vista Release candidate is to be out around February.Microsoft has indicated that this SP3 will include Windows Search 4, Bluetooth 2.1 wireless support, faster resume from sleep when a wireless connection has been broken and support for Blu-ray.   I personally think it will include some of Windows 7 features to better get people accustomed to Windows 7 when they come out.

[ad#ad2-left]Although this is speculation and no hard evidence I think it has some merit due to the fact that Microsoft has admitted in the past that Vista was a big Letdown.  I don't think they can any more to damage than they have already done.   If anything Windows 7 will be a easy Success if they pull it off in the right way!!!  Although with WIndows 7 be leaked online there is no telling what will happen. I am sure what ever happens will be interesting to say the least!!!
