Alot of people have been writing in asking about where to buy the phones I've posted about. While a lot of these phones aren't available for sale yet, I thought I'd post a list of my favorite online cell phone retailers. Expansys.com MyWorldPhone.com MobilePlanet.com Mobilebee.com (Has the sexy Nokia 8800 if you are willing to pay the price.) GSMPhoneSource.com I've bought from most of these places and have had good experiences with them. Alternatively there's always Ebay if your looking for hard to find phones. Anyone else have a place to recommend?

Vertu is kinda like the Bentley of cell phones. If you have roughly 8 grand to spend on one - so that you can have a phone with ruby keys, then good for you. Though you're probaly better off not getting one at all, some people over at HowardForums haven't been to happy with their Vertu purchase. Anyway, Vertu just announced that their going to have a pink edition of their Ascent phone that will come "with soft pink backlighting that adds a touch of femininity to the sapphire crystal screen." Oooh and it'll be packaged with a pink holster, and will come in "special pink packaging". You can place this ...

OCWorkbench.com has a review on one of Nokia's latest smartphones with the series 60 OS - the Nokia 3230. the reviewer gives it a solid 8.25 out of 10. What's unique about this smartphone is that it's pretty tiny. And for us ladies it comes in different colors which include a pink/purple metallic finish.

Nokia announced a new headset today. The HS-12W is probably the first of it's kind, or atleast I can't find anything else like it. It's a wireless stereo headset that can be used to listen to music, the radio, and voice calls. It has an LCD display which shows you the name of the song playing, the incoming caller's number, or the FM radio station your tuning into. The headset also has a set of control buttons near the LCD to navigate through songs.  And it also automatically stops playing music when someone is calling you. They also have another headset with similar features, the HS-6, but it isn't wireless.

For a few months I've had been using the Motorola Mpx220 with Windows Mobile Smart phone edition. It's a feature packed phone and I was happy with it because it could do neat stuff like playing back videos and mp3’s, plus it ran powerful applications and games. However the ear piece volume and speakerphone irked me and sometimes the operating system would just get buggy and slow and irritate me as well. I began to miss my old Nokia 6230 with its easy-to-operate series 40 operating system. Then I walked into a cell phone dealer and noticed the Nokia 7270 Fashion phone. I had seen it online and thought it was interesting but it just looked so much more enticing in person. I couldn’t resist it and I took it home. After using it for just a few minutes I decided to keep the 7270 and sell the Mpx220. The 7270 has the same Operating System as the Nokia 6230 so it’s a pleasure to operate.

PhoneArena has the lowdown on the upcoming Ipaq hw6500. These leaks keep making it sound better and better. I hope HP does a good job of this one, unlike the 6315 which was nothing short of a disaster.

Slashphone reports that a dating agency in Britain has launched a remote-viewing service that allows you to see video clips of filmed personal messages of potential mates via your cell phone.What can't we do via our cell phones nowadays?

Cingular Wireless has discontinued the Ogo. Undoubtedly because it did very poorly. The Ogo was essentially a smart idea. For $18.99 a month you could use Yahoo IM, MSN Messenger and AIM as well as send and receive e-mails. But the Ogo was very large, the design was nasty, and the operating system was very limited, so it never took off. The competition from the Sidekick couldn't have helped it either. Overall the Ogo won't be missed. I just hope that Cingular doesn't give up on coming out with more devices like it. The more messaging devices out there can only be good for innovation.

MobileMania has tons of pictures from the Samsung area at Cebit. Lots of new and lovely cell phones are there. Plus there are pictures of the Samsung SGH-i750, which according to Engadget is a GSM version of the Samsung sgh-i730 which is a pocket pc phone with Wifi, bluetooth and 128mb ram. It's not bad looking either. I also noticed a Windows Mobile Smartphone on page 6. Bring it on!

The Nokia 6230 is an excellent phone. I used it for about 10 months till I replaced it with the Motorola MPX220. The Nokia 6230 series uses the Series 40 OS which probably is the simplest and fastest OS on any cell phone. In my experience the Nokia 6230 was a pleasure to operate. Last year when it was released it was ahead of it's time with features such as an Mp3 player plus memory card expansion, and a video player. The 6230 was successful enough for Nokia to update it and create the Nokia 6230i. According to the 6230i's specs at Infosyncworld the new 6230i will have a better display, ...

Today Siemens introduced a new flip phone geared towards the female audience. The CL75 fashion phone is graced with a floral-motif and "soft contours." The display has 262,000 vivid colors  that can be used as a pocket mirror. The phone is also relatively light weight and small at 90 grams.Surprisingly enough, Push To Talk is included and a decent 11mb memory bank. When I first looked at the CL75 I assumed the phone would be skimpy on features. I guess you can't judge a phone by its looks.So this phone has brains and beauty.  But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as I would never be caught dead with ...

LiquidGeneration.com has a spoof on Paris Hilton's stolen Sidekick. Beware of the crude humor involved.

This gnarly green box is not your average wireless router. Instead of being connected to your average highspeed dsl or cable connection, the Junxion Box above accepts a pc card cellular modem. What makes this green guy so special is that it allows other computers to share the pc card's data connection via an ethernet chord or wifi like other standard routers. So if for example you are spending $80 a month on Verizon BroadbandAccess which is capable of 300kbps - 500kbs, than you could take the PC Card modem you use with it and place it into the Junxion box when you are at home. By doing that you can ...

It'll be a little while before this  arrives in the U.S. and it will only work on 3G phones which aren't very popular  ...

We're all accustomed to funky designs from Nokia, so this latest model really threw me off! They obviously ripped off Samsung with this design. Don't get me wrong, I love Nokia phones, but this is a bit much for me. Two years ago Nokia said they’d never make flip phones, then their sales started to drop and they caved into making clamshells. For example - the unsuccessful Nokia 6260,  and the recent 7270 & 6170. Despite the fact that this new Nokia 6101 phone has a rip off design, it reportedly has some good features like Push-to-talk. And it’ll probably have a great speakerphone and reception which is common in Nokia ...

It's been a while since I posted so let me talk about some of the great toys I've gotten during the past two months. Firstly, I got the I-mate PDA2k and I've never been happier with a PDA or smartphone. I'm blown away by how fast web sites load up with it. It's almost as fast as my in-house wifi. It's a real relief from the SK II. However, the SK II did satisfy me while I had it. The SKII is still a great affordable messaging device, and it's keyboard is still the best out there. The PDAk2 I must say was worth the money ($850 plus $50 on a Piel Frama ...
