Stress-testing and review of the Verizon G’zOne

[This article reviews the first-generation G’zOne. Also click to see a similar review of a heavy-duty phone, the G’zOne Brigade.] Computers don’t worry. Electronics don’t have stress-related conditions, like high-blood pressure and anxiety. That is, they didn’t, until they met me. It’s one thing to do the usual cellphone test and analysis, we’ve all read that […]

Samsung Juke review

Let’s waste no time, and get to the good stuff. We’ll talk about the Juke’s coolest feature first: the size. For any review of the Samsung Juke, the first thing any responsible reviewer must do is mention that this is a tiny, tiny phone. It’s about the same size as a pack of five sticks […]

LG Voyager review

The LG Voyager is a solid phone, but due to some cool features, it isn’t for everyone. Three big features in LG Voyager aren’t often seen elsewhere, and are rarely found together in one phone: A physical QWERTY keyboard A “widescreen” display, great for messaging or viewing web pages Full functionality via touchscreen These features […]

BlackBerry Curve review

With this one, they’ve got it right. By “it”, I mean “smartphone design, size and functionality”. By “this one”, I mean the BlackBerry Curve. The BlackBerry Curve (also known as the BlackBerry 8830) is among the best of the current breed of smartphones. For those who need a keyboard-enabled, corporate email-supporting, stable and functional cellphone, the Curve […]

LG Dare review

The Dare is an impressive phone. When you hear about the device, some of its features may catch your ear. You may hear about the touchscreen-only interface including virtual keyboard, the auto-rotate feature based on the phone’s orientation, the “scroll with your finger” navigation, and you’ll think of the iPhone. I’ll answer the Dare / […]

Cheap cellphone recommendations

The cameras begin clicking furiously as your chauffer opens the door. You stand up and smile confidently, wading through a sea of photo flashes. You strike a cool pose, flip open your phone, and take a self-portrait of yourself backed by clamoring fans, security staff, and TV and newspaper reporters. You email the photo to […]

VerizonWireless Chocolate LG VX8500 review

I’ll be honest: The first thing I noticed about the VerizonWireless Chocolate cellphone is that it looks very, very cool. If you’re just trying to impress people, this phone fits the bill. The LG Chocolate cellphone is a sort of hybrid cellphone and MP3 music player. While many cellphones have the ability to store and play […]

Treo 700p cellphone review

When I need a cellphone, I don’t mess around. I need more than what’s advertised in the latest Hollywood action movie. I need functionality. I need it to help improve my job productivity. I need scheduling, contact management, fast response times, good phone coverage and long battery life. Give me Bluetooth, memory expansion, email access […]

Verizon’s VZ Navigator and Motorola v325 Review

What is Verizon’s VZ Navigator? The simplest definition of VZ Navigator is that it’s a GPS on a cellphone. You see a detailed map, updated in real time, of where you are and directions to where you’re going. While that’s the easiest way to describe it, it doesn’t do VZ Navigator justice. There are plenty […]
