I recently acquired a Motorola Krave ZN4 for free with my cell phone contract through Verizon. The following is a review of the Motorola Krave ZN4 in an effort to help a consumer with Verizon in their selection of a new cell phone.

Previously with Alltel, I became a part of Verizon upon the company’s acquisition of Alltel. I was thinking about switching providers upon the conclusion of my contract, but Verizon not only let me keep my former Alltel rate plan, but they offered my a free cell phone with a renewal through their company. I chose the Motorola Krave ZN4 as my new cell phone.

Motorola Krave Reviews

The reviews on the Verizon Wireless website1 were mostly negative for this cell phone. However, my sister-in-law has one and is very happy with it.

Specifications

The Motorola Krave has a touch screen. The clear outer cover flips open for access. This clear cover is also interactive, with a lock and unlock button on the side of the phone. When holding the phone in normal position, you can use the virtual dial pad to make phone calls or send text messages. You can also turn the phone sideways to activate a virtual QWERTY keyboard.

The Motorola Krave supports Bluetooth, has a 2.0 megapixel camera with video and zoom. Additional features can be viewed at the Verizon Wireless website1. With a Verizon Wireless plan, you can get paid subscription services such as V CAST Mobile TV, VZ Navigator, Visual Voicemail and V CAST Music.

Motorola Krave ZN4 – Using the Cell Phone

This cell phone weighs in at about 4 and a half ounces and is a little bulky.

Virtual Dial Pad and Keyboard. The virtual dial pad and virtual QWERTY keyboard are a little difficult to use at times, and sometimes the wrong letter or number shows up when pushed. Texting is not very quick with this phone. I hope to get faster with more use.

Making Calls. The phone is a little difficult to get used to when making a call that you have to press numbers during the call. The touch screen automatically locks and goes dark during the call. However, I have a pattern that works well for me when making this sort of call.

If the screen is dark, touch it to make it light back up. You will see a red bar across the screen that says “drag to unlock”. If you slide your finger across this red bar, the screen will unlock and you can press the appropriate number on the dial pad. It is a little extra work each time you have to press a number, but not hard to adjust to.

The earpiece works well for clear sound when talking. The microphone works well, too, as my husband says our calls are much clearer since getting this phone.

Changing Menus. The touch screen is a little difficult to use on the Motorola Krave, as it’s easy to touch the wrong menu selection on this touch screen. This can become frustrating if you are in a hurry.

Taking Pictures. Pictures are easy to take. Once you take a picture, there are options such as sending the picture to another cell phone or email address.  I have found, though, that the pictures are a little darker when transferred to a computer than they appear on the screen of the Motorola Krave.

Interactive Clear Flip Cover. I usually open the flip cover to use the phone. However, if I receive a call and don’t recognize the number, I can slide the unlock button on the side of the phone to access the interactive flip cover without opening it. This allows me to press “ignore call” to stop the ringer. Another slide of the button and my screen is locked again.

Other Features. There are many other features on this phone that I will probably never use. I can download games and real music ringtones, which I intend to do in the future.

Incoming Calls. Often, I do not receive an incoming call, but I’m not sure if this is a problem with the cell phone or Verizon Wireless.

Motorola Krave ZN4 Accessories

There is a large variety of cases and covers available for this cell phone. Ebay has a large selection of snap on hard and rubber covers that allow you to use the phone while the cover is in place. I found many that I like for under .00 that included free shipping. When I’m ready, I’m thinking about getting a purple rubber snap on cover for my phone.

Many other websites offer covers for this phone for under .00. Perform a Google search to see what’s available.

There is also a special stylus for purchase made especially for cell phones like the Motorola Krave. You can get these on Ebay as well, often for under .00. This might make it easier when using the virtual keyboard and dial pad. I will have to try this out at a later date.

Overall Rating of the Motorola Krave

Retailing at 9.99, this cell phone is much more phone than I need. If I had to pay for a new cell phone, I’m not sure the Motorola Krave would be the one. The extra steps needed when making calls that require me to press a certain number and the difficulty of using the virtual keyboard and dial pad are frustrating at times. I prefer a cell phone with actual buttons to push. It is a good quality phone when having a conversation.

I would give the Motorola Krave a rating of 3.5 out of 5.

Another of the leading VoIP phone service providers out there today is Vonage. They are one of the leading providers of VoIP Internet broadband telephone services in the world, and they offer VoIP calling plans to home, residential and business customers.

Vonage is a leading provider of broadband telephone services with 2.5 million subscriber lines to date. Their award-winning technology enables anyone to make and receive phone calls with a touchtone telephone almost anywhere, as long as a broadband Internet connection is available. They offer feature-rich and cost effective communication services that offer users an experience that is similar to that of traditional telephone services.

Either of these two VoIP service providers would be a great choice, but keep in mind that this is just to give you an idea of what is out there and there are various other service providers that you can choose from as well. Make sure that you get educated and learn a bit about all the different providers before expecting to choose the right one.

In today’s modern society, people need the telephone in order to communication with their family, friends, and also their business associates and clients. You have to consider the fact that the telephone is one of the most useful inventions ever made. Since Alexander Graham Bell produced the very first telephone, many people have now been using this kind of communication systems in order for them to communicate.

Today, the telephone system provides much better voice quality than the first telephone. Also, for additional payment, you will be able to get caller ID phones, call waiting, call forwarding, return call and even three way calling. Truly, the telephone is the best communication system ever invented.

The internet is also one of the most useful tools for communication. And, people now use the internet to talk to their loved ones overseas for free instead of using their conventional telephone. Besides, the internet can provide a way to talk to your family, friends and even your business associates for free and at a very fast rate. With webcams, it will enable you to see the person you are speaking to through the use of the internet and instant messengers.

If you want to send them a letter, you can do so with the email. The internet definitely takes people one step closer to the future of communication.

Today, another kind of communication technology is taking the world by storm. This particular communication system is growing more and more popular each day and many people are now considering replacing their conventional land line phones with this new breed of phone system. This particular technology is called VoIP.

First of all, VoIP works just like your conventional telephone. However, instead of transmitting voice data over wires, it takes advantage of the internet to transmit and receive voice data. This means that your voice is converted to digital signals and is transmitted to the internet. Since your voice is in digital format, what this means for communication is that it will be much clearer and much faster when it reaches the other end of the line. Also, since it uses the internet, communication is much cheaper than conventional landline phones.

With it, you can call your family, friends and even your business partners and associates overseas at a fraction of the cost compared to the cost that are found in conventional landline telephones.

Another great thing about VoIP is that it offers features such as three-way calling, audio conferencing, video conferencing, caller ID, return call, call waiting, call barring and other features as a standard package, which means it’s free unlike in conventional landline where you have to pay extra on your monthly bills for each extra service.

Today, there are quite a few existing VoIP service providers that offer their services. As you can see, VoIP is becoming more and more popular today. You should consider getting in touch with VoIP service providers in your area and ask about their services. You should consider subscribing in a service provider that is already serving a lot of people. With this service provider, you will know that there are many satisfied customers who are definitely getting value for their money.

Service providers differ in cost and services. Some charges installation and start-up fees, while others do not. Some offers great deals on free calls, while others charge the usual low-cost long distance and overseas calls.

Most service providers offer a 30-day money-back guarantee for testing purposes. With this option, you can try out their services and if you are not satisfied, you can claim a refund within the 30-day trial period. You can do this until you find a service provider in your area that offers high quality services and the best value for your money.

You have to remember that call waiting and other additional features should be included for free. If you find a service provider that charges for these kinds of services, you should consider looking for another service provider.

Consider that fact that it is still on its infancy. You should expect some hiccups in the services once in a while. However, in the near future, you can expect that the bugs will be fixed and fully functional and great quality VoIP will be available.

A mobile phone used to be an instrument to converse with people and increase one’s communication quotient.  However, things have gradually changed.  More than a necessity now, the mobile phone has become an accessory which everyone wants to carry.  There are increasing numbers of mobile models available in the market and their prices vary largely to make them available to people of all financial backgrounds.

1.

LOCAL MARKETS:  The local markets, in one’s vicinity, are the most preferred source of finding accessories for one’s mobile phone.  Such markets are accessed by the masses and therefore they boast of the numbers.  While everything is good with such local markets, the only thing that is worrisome about them that you are not sure of the quality of things that you are buying.  In case the product which is being bought is branded then one could have some sense of confidence and trust.

2. SUPERMARKETS AND HYPERMARKETS:  Your nearby supermarkets and hypermarkets might have a lot of things in store for you.  They are likely to have an electronics store inside the mall and if the store is a big one then you can find such large variety of things that you will be overwhelmed by.  They even provide the confidence as most things available in such large malls are branded.

3. INTERNET:  Not only are there supermarkets and hypermarkets in the physical space, one can find the same on the internet too.  These stores have one disadvantage that an individual can’t touch or feel the product/s.  However, as against this disadvantage, there are many other advantages that the medium boasts of.  It is because of these benefits that it has become highly popular in the recent past.

The new gleaming smartphone handset you have bought will not carry any value if you do not have with you the few mobile phone accessories that go with it. Now, the mobile phone accessories may seem as minor irritants but each one of them does a specific vital function that will be stalled renderring your otherwise fine and in one hundred per cent working condition that much reduntant and without carrying much value handset. Even without the new pouch in which you can keep your new dolly, you may feel might disappointed. These mobile phone accessories have that capacity to cause that deep feeling of letting down oneself. Somehow, it always does that to the most non plussed of user of mobile phone accessories.

Mobile phone accessories such as you r mobile phone charger, bluetooth data chords, cases and pouches, headphones, earphones, memory cards, replacement batteries, scratch guard, bluetooth dongle, in car bluetooth hands free kit, signal boosters, in car chargers, mini USB key boards, memory sticks, in car holders, etc. Actually, even though we are only speaking about mobile phone accessories here, the list of these accompanying items can actually a bit too long for most users patience and expectations. But what to do. You do need all of them and more. There are some mobile phone users who even want message cards inserted into the mobile phone handset they are using.

Most of these mobile phone accessories are given away free by the mobile phone maker (in most cases, that is) along with the new mobile phone handset that you are purchasing. The mobile phone accessories are actually included in the box that contains your new mobile phone handset. It is only after a year or so,when the mobile phone accessories that you have been using need replacement that you need to buy them afresh.

You will be well advised to buy only genuine and original mobile phone accessories. As otherwise, you may end of having a shoddy reception, and similar other several issues.

The new Google Nexus One is more than a new smart phone, it is a new way of buying smart phones.  Traditionally, to date, people had to go to a service provider, likeTelus , Bell Mobility or Rogers Communications and buy the phones that the carriers provided;  you buy the service, and the phone comes with it, usually for free or a greatly reduced price.  A 0 smart phone can be bought in many places for to 0, as long as you sign up to a 3-year service contract plan.  With the new Nexus One Network, you can now buy the phone and look for service second.

The Nexus One smart phone is run on the  Android 2.1 platform, introduced in early 2010 with the Motorola Devour.  Picture the Google/Motorola Droid, and then picture the advanced and upgraded model, and you have the Nexus One.  There is an unlocked version of the Nexus One available through the Google Apps Store, and it is presently selling at 9 USD.    Add a plan, or take it as a pay-as-you-go phone, the choice is yours.  If one cell phone service provider has a better and less expensive, all-inclusive plan with no hidden or connection fees, then you can choose the carrier and plan that suits you best.

The phone itself, the Nexus One smart phone, has a modern voice-recognition software included, for accessing and dictating emails.  Voice-activated searching is also available, so you will not have to tap, tap, tap, and search your apps for the right one, just name it and it is activated.  The voice activation comes with noise-cancelling software, so that you do not have to find a really quiet place to use your voice activation services.

The only problem that some people see with this sort of purchasing is that they do not get the initial price reduction for the smart phone.  However, once a two-year or 3-year plan has been completed, you have more than paid for the phone, through the service fees and high plan prices.  With the new Nexus One, and a plethora of new smart phones on the way that will revolutionize the smart phone purchasing industry, the way people buy smart phones is about to change.

The Nexus One smart phone is the snowball at the top of the mountain that starts an avalanche, and the Nexus One Network, under the Google Apps Store umbrella, is the avalanche.  The victims just may be the IPhone, Blackberry and other, non-Android run smart phones.  With the Android 2.1 platform released with the Devour, the Nexus One will benefit from the upgraded version of what was already better than the Blackberry service and available applications.  And the way that people buy the smart phones is whatGoogle is
trying to change with the introduction of the Nexus One smart phone.

Yes, you can run the Nexus One smart phone on the Nexus One network, and it will work splendidly.  But, if you purchase the Nexus One smart phone through theGoogle Apps Store, you get to decide which carrier that supports the smart phone would be best, and cheapest for you.

The American carrier Mobile One currently offers the Nexus One smart phone for 9, on a 3-year service plan.  However, for 9 US, you can pick your service provider and plan, and even use the smart phone with a pay-as-you-go plan, for people who want to limit their
expenses on the phones.However, Google is trying to entice all smart phone carriers into it’s revolutionary smart phone business, with customers buying the phones at retail prices, and then choosing the carrier and plan that best suits them.  This is one business plan that has serious potential to make a huge inroad into the cell phone service and sales industries.

So, give it a try.  With a 90-day satisfaction guarantee, there really is no risk.  If you don’t like the plan that you took out after buying your Nexus One smart phone, then you can change that too, within the guarantee time frame.  Sleek-looking, stylish, powerful and fast, the Nexus One is the next step in garneringGoogle as one of the hottest smart phone providers.

Sprint has been on their job lately, namely in the smart phone department. Everyone already knows about the IPhone and that it has been the reigning king of the category since its debut a few years back. Well Sprint has put their foot down saying enough is enough. The proclaimed best 3G service has plotted an attack to over throw the Apple king, by releasing the BlackBerry Tour 9630 (not the Verizon version RIM BlackBerry Tour 9630) and Palm hopeful, the Pre earlier this year.

If you are considering becoming a new Sprint customer, or if you are an existing client looking to upgrade, you’re probably wondering how the two smart phones match up against each other. To help you decide which is best for you, I have compiled a list of answers to questions that you may ask.

Which is more enjoyable? More specifically how are the apps?

The BlackBerry Tour 9630 is loaded with them. Included are: Sprint music and software store, Handmark pocket express, Pandora, Sprint TV, NFL mobile live, MLB.com, Facebook, Myspace, Flickr, a Nascar app, Sprint navigation, 5 IM apps, as well a bunch of 3rd party apps you can download. BlackBerry has its own media player that works much better than Sprint music, not to mention it’s cheaper to download a song through it. Sprint TV gives you about 12 or so channels that stream very smoothly. Just to name a few details.
The Palm Pre lacks in this category only providing its users with a handful of app selections. You get Pandora, Fickster, Fandango, Connect 4, Accuweather, you can check your stocks but that’s pretty much it. The folks at Palm are putting strict limitations on the 3rd party app catalogue, which takes away from the all around phone experience.

Which one looks cooler?

The Palm Pre is sexy. It has a huge 3.1 inch screen that slides up revealing the keyboard and it feels great in your hand. Beware of its sharp edges though, it can cut if not handled with care.

Which is cheaper?

With a new 2 year plan with Sprint both smart phones are 9.99 after mail-in rebate, so price is not much of a factor when choosing between the two. However, if you are not looking for a new service or upgrade and you are looking to just pay regular price for the phone, there is a slight difference. The Palm Pre is 9.99 as opposed the 9.99 BlackBerry Tour 9630, but Amazon and EBay have these devices even cheaper if you bother to look. To help you I have included a few to the right and bottom of this article to narrow your search.

Is it a TOUCH smart phone?

The BlackBerry Tour 9630 is not a touch smart phone. If your loyal to BlackBerry you won’t mind this because they are consistent with putting out high quality phones. You got to admit the scroll ball is pretty cool though.
At the moment, the Pre outshines all touch smart phones on the market, in the touch category of course. It’s actually blowing the iPhone away with its unmatchable multi-touch 3.1 inch screen. Always know what apps you are running, each one is stored as a “card” you can scroll through horizontally and go back into them very easily or flick off the top of the screen to close. Messages and other alerts come across the bottom of the screen that you can review or dismiss without interrupting any of the apps that you are currently using. When the screen is touched it shows a ripple effect to prevent buttons from sticking like on many other touch smart phones. Give thanks to Palm’s webOS operating system, a groundbreaking revelation in the smart phone world.

Is it easy to text with?

Looking at both keyboards they are almost identical, but there is a key difference. The size of the buttons on the Pre are smaller and have a rubbery feel, so if you have big hands texting can be difficult. The Pre also does not have any word correction which is good and bad, its good if you use text slang but bad if you don’t. Regardless everyone gets the hang of texting on any phone after a day or two so don’t worry about this.

They both have camera’s, but which is better?
Both devices have a 3.2 megapixel camera with flash that takes an impressive picture besting the camera on the iPhone. The camera on the 9630 has auto focus and can record video which the Palm Pre can not do.

Which smart phone gets better coverage?

Without a doubt the Tour 9630 has the better phone coverage. BlackBerry has already proven themselves as the better international device and they remain true to it with awesome call clarity from anywhere. It has amazing roaming call coverage, and if you travel, you can swap SIM cards with foreign ones for a cheaper service fee. The Pre has weak call coverage, and its clarity is nothing more than sub par.

How well does the internet work?

The Tour 9630 and Pre are on the CDMA network, and Sprint praises themselves for having “the best 3G network” without many complaints from customers, so you can deduct that the internet works just fine on both. But, and this is a big but, what is keeping the BlackBerry from being on top is that the phone has no WiFi capabilities which for lack of a better word, sucks. If it did have WiFi, BlackBerry could steal a lot of Apple customers because they produce all around better devices than the iPhone.
The Palm Pre stands tall in this category as well, because webOS provides possible the best mobile web browser to date. It is powerful, fast, and unlike the BlackBerry it does have WiFi capabilities. The browser is based on the Webkit rendering engine just like the iPhone and the G1, however it has awesome javascript which renders pages as it would on your desktop. It does not support flash yet so it will lag here and there when trying to load a page with a YouTube video, but recall what the prefix “pre” means therefore expect that in the coming months this phone shall be fault free.

How about memory?

BlackBerry is better for storing lots of data. What it has over the leading smart phones is that you can insert up to a 16MB memory card into it. However, you can not store apps on the memory card so be mindful of the data saved to the hard drive.

With that being said it is up to you what phone to choose, these questions are just to help you with your decision making. I did not provide a review for each phone because you should never go out and purchase something based on what someone told you. You never know that if a review you read stated something that was bad, that you think is good. For example some people like the rubbery keyboard thing because its easier to type with as opposed to non-sticky or touch keyboard.

Also as I mentioned before check out Amazon and EBay for better pricing on these devices. The Pre showed up on Amazon for once, that’s enough to get excited about if you want a cool phone but your trying to save money.

I know that you are familiar with BlackBerry’s mobile phones, but I am also sure that you are surprised with their latest release, the first ever slide phone from BlackBerry is finally here. Yes, I am talking about the slider BlackBerry Torch.

The Torch may be different from the other BlackBerry phones out there, but it is an exciting and fun change but nevertheless the same BlackBerry phone that we all love.

Now, these features can be found with the other mobile phones from BlackBerry. These makes this slide phone just like the other famous phones from BlackBerry, but what makes the BlackBerry Torch different from all of the previous phones, is that the makers of this phone wanted to reach more people than ever.

It may be known for it being a business phone, but now, you too can have your own first classy and stylish slider phone from BlackBerry. Truly, the BlackBerry Torch is not like your ordinary phone.

Cell phones are just about a necessity in today’s busy world. Whether you use your cell phone to ask your spouse what to get at the grocery store or to conduct international business, these handy devices have become an integral part of mainstream society.

Even though each cell phone provider offers many different plans—ranging in price and plan availability—we‘ve made a point of highlighting the various unlimited voice, messaging and data plans that have become prominent recently.

In addition to these, most cell phone providers offer more restrictive plans for those who don’t need quite so much, and premium features that only add a few dollars to your monthly bill.

The variety of cell phones available from carriers is expanding at an ever-increasing rate. Most of the talk these days centers around smart phones and other advanced devices that take advantage the mobile internet.

Carriers love to promote these phones because data plans are more profitable than voice alone.

Even today’s most basic cell phones offer standard features that would have made them cutting-edge products a very short time ago.

Saving money on your phone bill is not as easy as many people are led to believe. Gimmicks, hidden fees, and surcharges often cloud the truth behind advertised rates.

Voice over Internet Protocol, also referred to as VoIP Phone, Digital Phone, Internet Phone or Broadband Phone service, is a way of making regular phone calls over a Broadband High Speed Internet connection instead of a regular telephone line.

There are no unexplained taxes and service charges, or expensive monthly fees and lots of great features come standard. Unlimited local and long distance calling can be yours for as little as 9 per YEAR! This represents yearly savings of over 0 for many VoIP phone users.

The increasing competition in the telephone service market made it possible to choose different business phone service provider for every aspect of the phone service. Because most business phone service providers use a similar technology, the call quality is constantly high. Remember the two chief criteria to use when making a decision regarding your service provider are price and customer service. Since the cost aspect is always a major consideration, focus on business communications that deliver affordable solutions, convenience and advanced technology. Innovative solutions make things work better, from a VoIP phone service, managed hosting, web conferencing and integrated communications.

Discount service providers are alluring due to their featured low prices, however they may not provide the same level of customer service that you would get from more established providers.

Find out about assistant hours and policies; also make sure you obtain customer references. On the other hand, the security you get from a reputable and reliable service provider can be very expensive. The cost of security on top of quality indeed comes with a price. So balance your need for cost savings with customer service expectations. Another important consideration when choosing your business phone service provider is the billing increment. Take into account the smallest amount of time you could be billed for. Some service providers have as much as one-minute increment, which means that if you exceed one second after a minute call you already get billed for two minutes. Furthermore, when reviewing your billing increments, check out two elements; the initial billing increment applied once your call is connected and the additional billing increment after the rest of the call made is billed. These both have a huge impact on the overall bill, especially for companies that regularly make plenty of short calls. By reducing your billing increment, you can save up to 15% on your total bill. Hence, try getting the smallest increment possible. A number of providers offer as low as six-second increments.

Moreover, look into phone service features. VoIP solutions are great and advantageous to your business. Businesses of all sizes are switching from the regular circuit telephone lines to VoIP. With a VoIP system, businesses and enterprises discovered their monthly telephone costs are significantly reducing to over 30% in most cases. VoIP service is compelling to many businesses because with it they are able to meet their telephony needs by just expanding data bandwidth requirements on the Internet by a small percentage. A wide array of added voice features also come to the surface. A single VoIP call can take considerably less than 90kbps bandwidth, which usually is a very small overhead in addition to businesses data requirements. Businesses just send all information over their broadband Internet whether it is Internet data from voice calls or PCs or from their employees. There is sharing over the same pipe, which could be high speed cable or DSL connection for the small offices or T3 cables for medium to large sized businesses.
