Choosing A Newer, Better Cell Phone
It seems like every year it's time to replace that old cell phone with something new and with
each new cycle the range of phones available on the market keeps getting bigger and
bigger. Today, options range from basic phones that come free with your cellular package to
souped-up business models that can cost several hundred dollars. If you're looking for a
new cell phone, keep reading for great tips on how to choose the right cell phone for you.
First, let's talk about the absolute hardware basics of the phone and how it relates to how
you're going to use it;
Battery Life: If you're often on the go, away from home for long stretches, and a frequent
phone user then you're going to want a phone that has great battery life. The lithium ion
batteries have an exceptionally long life and don't suffer from battery memory problems, but
they can be very pricey.
Transmission Capability: If you're a big traveler, whether for business or pleasure, then
you're going to want to make sure that you get a phone with multi-band capabilities so it will
work everywhere from Europe to South America to Asia. You also don't want to be relying
on a purely digital phone if you plan on making trips out of urban areas.
Weight/Size: For some, the phone size can be a major issue. If you're not going to be
carrying a purse or a bag, it's important to find a phone that's light enough and small
enough to fit in your pocket (shirt or pant), but still large enough for easy functionality.
Essentially, the three absolute basic characteristics are battery power, signal, and size.
Keep reading to learn how functionality and extra options can also help make or break your
cellular phone decision.
Above and beyond the basics of battery power, signal type, and weight are the extra options
and functions that really make a phone. Unfortunately, they also make your phone
purchasing decision that much harder. From cameras to email, how many extras you want
on your phone will depend on how you plan on using it.
If you're looking for a fun accessory that also plays MP3s and takes great pictures of you
and your friends, consider going all out with an MP3-Camera-phone. Meanwhile, if you're
an outdoors-adventurer and the kind of person that gives their gear a beating, you may
want to buy a well-built but very basic phone that focuses on functionality and sturdiness.
If you want a business model that will allow you to quickly access the Internet, browse
through emails, and easily organize important contacts, then consider going with a
phone/organizer hybrid. These phones run simple software that not only gets you online
and connected, but also enables you to pull up important office documents, and sync with
your business computer.

2. Finally, remember that how you plan on actually using your phone should be your most
important factor when it comes to making a decision. Don't be seduced by extra features
that will go unused and never sacrifice functionality.

Choosing A Philips Lcd Tv
The Philips LCD TVs (model types are called the Cineos) are excellent high definition
television sets. High definition televisions (HDTVs hereafter) accept digital signals from
broadcasters, and can display resolutions of up to 1920 x 1080, in sizes ranging from 30
inches to 46 inches.
Like all HDTV manufacturers, there's a bit of a transition from 'Ready for HD' TVs (which
use 1366 x 768 for their resolution) full 1080 Compliant TVs. Right now, most of the
manufacturers are trying to unload the older models, with the lower resolution, and many of
them are excellent televisions for the price.
The secret that the television manufacturers aren't telling you is that very few programs are
broadcast in the full 1080 resolution. This will change eventually, but if you're shopping for
a 'placeholder' television to last you through the next three years, you can score a smart
bargain now. The big exception is Blu Ray and HD-DVD; the film studios are making a
serious push to release their wares on DVD in the full glory of 1080 scale. So if you're
watching movies, it's probably worth it to spring for 1080p now; if you're just watching HD
sportscasts, the HD Ready sets will suffice.
For specific recommendations, the Philips TVs have a number of features that are unique to
the market. The most notable one, and the one that gets the most press, is the CINEOS
backlighting system, which will backlight the wall behind the television to match the ambient
color of the picture on the screen. Buying a wall mount for the Philips Ambilights can be
troublesome but http://www.tv-wall-brackets.co.uk had some suitable wall brackets. While
this sounds like something designed by a marketing weasel, the ultimate effect is rather
surprising. It greatly increases the immersion you have with the picture. It relies on a trick

3. of the human eye, and how our visual cortex works. Since a person watching a television
tends to focus on the moving picture, a lot of the random motion of the eye gets stilled, and
thus, things out of the center of field tend to get short shrift by your brain.
By making the ambient light outside the 'focal point' of the image the same color, your brain
is tricked into believing that there's 'more to the picture' and there's an illusory depth of field
that's quite compelling. The Cineos system is found on Philips Models 42PF9831D/10 and
42PF9731D/10, both of which are 42 inch sets. The first one is 'HD Ready' and the second
is '1080 Compliant'. Both are progressive scan sets, giving excellent picture quality.
Of course, this means you want to mount your television in a space with light colored walls '
this visual effect is diminished if it's put in a room with, say, dark oak bookshelves. Most of
the Philips TVs in this category are in the realm of 12 to 20 centimeters deep, making them
good candidates for wall mounting. If you are going to mount it, please consider, seriously,
spending the funds to have it done professionally. You're spending upwards of 4,000
pounds on this television.
What's a few hundred more to have it hung by someone who knows what they're doing?
You will, after all, feel rather poorly if you drop it and break it in the mounting process, or
don't leave enough space to let it circulate enough air to cool properly!
