The KG800 Chocolate GSM by LG Phone

They say that chocolate is better than cell phones, right? Well, maybe that isn't the exact adage. Cell phone manufacturer LG must have misunderstood the old saying because they decided to combine the richness of chocolate with a mobile phone model.

This phone is highly fashionable with a mirror-like shine that screams "Fifth Avenue." The sleek, black design of this sliding phone with its glowing red buttons works well as both a women's accessory or a man's toy. Its design has actually earned the LG KG800 Chocolate the 2006 IF Design Award in Germany. Good luck keeping fingerprints off it, though.

LG brings into the forefront a new keypad feature that uses conductivity, rather then pressing, to activate a button. This is great if you are super careful with your phone but metal objects and wet fingers, or even moistness in the pouch, can damage the sensors. The keypad deactivates when the phone is closed and when you have connected a call to avoid accidental rubbings against your cheek or inside pockets.

Slider phones are often mistaken for clam-style but not so with the Chocolate. The sliding mechanism locks when it is closed so there's no grabbing the top half and yanking it open.

The only real problem with the keypad, save the moisture or metal sensitivity, is that the buttons are rather small. Ladies (or men) with dainty, small fingers won't likely notice this but men (or women) with large fingers and hands most definitely will. The 1-2-3 buttons are difficult to press for large fingers as well, since the top slides up so it just uncovers this top row of buttons. Some users won't notice, others will. Make sure you test drive it before you sign a contract.

Of course, if you are looking into picking up the LG KG800 Chocolate to use as a phone, in addition to a fashion accessory, then you'll want to know about it's functionality. The battery life is far less than LG advertises, but that's to be expected with almost any mobile phone these days. LG claims 16 days standby but you'll probably only see half of that. Charging the phone requires opening the phone, making it susceptible to damage.

You'll be able to see a wide range of vivid colors on the Chocolate, more than many other fashionable phones. LG offers 262,000 colors compared to just 65,000 on other models. Corners are sharp and images do not suffer from cell-phone haziness.

Using Your Cell Phone in France

The world over uses different GSM frequency bands, which prevents your GSM operated phones to be used in those countries. In France, the prevailing operational frequencies that are being used are - 900MHz and 1900MHz. France also uses the third generation mobile system called 3G system, not to be confused with GSM. Since, your GSM mobile phone would work on 1900MHz bandwidth it is just possible that your handset may work in France too. There are three types of handsets available today, which support multiple frequencies used in different countries. These are the dual band phones , Tri-band and the Quad-band. Dual band covers frequency bandwidths of 900 and 1800 MHz, which covers Europe, Asia, Australia and Brazil and 1900MHz covering North America. The European Tri-band handsets work on frequencies 900, 1800 and 1900 bands, providing good coverage in Europe and allowing limited use in North America. The North American Tri-band phones operate on 850, 1800 and 1900 for wide-spread North American service and have limited world-wide use. The Quad-band phones support all GSM frequencies and covers all the frequencies globally, including North America. Even if the phone you have works in France and you use your existing GSM phone in that country, you need to prepare yourself for certain things. First you will need to check with your service provider regarding activation of your GSM phone for roaming in France. If this can be done, you need to have it activated. But on the other hand this will prove to be very expensive, for, calls that you receive and make, will cost you more. There is an exorbitant per minute charge on top of, not only the calls you make but the calls you receive. The only way to avoid this is to buy a prepaid SIM card, specifically meant for France and you save up-to 80% of your call charges. There is no contract in this to be signed by you and there is no fear of receiving bills at the end of the month. On the other hand, if your phone is SIM unlocked, you may decide to buy a prepaid SIM card when you arrive in France. You can buy these SIM cards at phone shops in France and the major service providers are Orange, Bouygues Telecom and SFR.

Where-ever you are going it is worthwhile to check if your GSM phone is compatible with the frequency bands operating in the country of your visit. There is one more point to note. If you should need to rent a phone for your visit to France, or you decide to take your GSM phone and use a prepaid SIM card for France, make sure that your handset is SIM unlocked. Now what is a SIM unlocked mobile phone? When you sign a contract with a service provider, they would perhaps offer you a free mobile phone of your choice, within the range that they have, and in turn you would promise, through this contract, that you will be using their service for a definite period of time. During this time, the mobile phone which has come free to you is SIM locked. That would mean that you cannot use that phone with any other SIM card except the one given to you by your service provider. At the end of the contract, the service provider would help you to get that phone SIM unlocked. You need to be sure that in the event if you decide to take your GSM phone to France or rent one compatible phone, the handset is SIM unlocked so that you can use any SIM card what-so-ever, viz., the prepaid SIM card for France. You must not forget that your cell phone needs to be charged. You will need an adapter of the right kind to take along with you. In addition, the voltage output is different in France and your charger power plug will not fit into the kind of power plug that they have in France.

Cell Phones - Do I Really Need One

A cell phone is a hand-held telephone device that has a built in antenna. They now come in all shapes and sizes and do more than just take calls. You have cell phones that you can use to surf the internet, check your emails, take pictures, watch TV and listen to music, among other things. Many of the cell phone models on the market today can also store important contact information, make and store to do lists, keep track of your important appointments, and finally they can be merged with other handheld devices, such as PDAs, MP3 players, and GPS receivers.

Now we know why some people appear lost when they misplace their cell phone. Yes cell phones are very popular wireless devices these days. They are popular with teens, persons who frequently travel, and business men and women. Add to the fact that todays models are smaller, lighter and obviously have more functions than the prehistoric models and we know why cell phones are so in vogue.

When purchasing a cell phone there are many makes, models and cell phone plans to choose from. Select the cell phone with only the features that you need and the cell phone plan that meets your every day needs. If rarely used select a low usage service plan and save yourself hundreds of dollars a year. Check your cell phone service plan and if there are features that you do not require cancel them.

Every day millions of people all over the world are using their cell phones and every day there are more and more people getting connected. One of the most popular marketing methods used by cell phone companies to get people hooked up is by offering a free cell phone when they purchase a service plan. With some of the newest cell phone models costing a thousand dollars or more, this is certainly a good place to start.

The Evolvement of 3G Mobile

This mobility of the so called mobile rigs, would consequently give way to the evolvement of the generations of mobile phone that we have today. Originally, mobile phones were permanently installed in the vehicles, but as time went on, it gained more mobility when the later versions came out with equipment with a cigarette lighter plug, for the 12 volt power that it required to operate. This made this mobile set to be unplugged and taken away to be used as mobile or as portable phones.

The idea of patching the vehicle mounted phones, incorporating certain modifications, to the telephone network was evolved and tested by the Swedish police in 1946 for use in police cruisers. It was found that the car battery would run out after half a dozen calls were made. Towards the end of 1940s, the so called radio-telephones began to be available publicly in the United States. Since the switching technology was not as advanced as it is today, these phones had to be manually patched into telephone network for the purpose of a meaningful communication.

Erricsson first developed the first fully automatic mobile phone system, which was called Mobile Telephone system A (MTA). This was released commercially in Sweden in 1956. This was the first time that a mobile phone operated without any manual intervention, but the disadvantage was that it weighed 40Kg. The next version, Mobile Telephone system B (MTB), an upgraded version with transistors, used dual-tone multi-frequency signaling, weighing only 9kg and was introduced in 1965. The product closed down in 1983 while it has 600 subscribers using it.

The first fully successful and commercial mobile phone networks were the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) network in Finland, launched in 1971. ARP is sometimes viewed as the 0G version of the cellular network, being considered to be slightly above the previous proprietary and limited coverage networks.

First Generation Mobile IG

Mobile technology and the growth in mobile telephony were built on the concept of communication networks that would provide for voice and data communication throughout a wide geographic area. The system would divide large geographic areas into small radio cell areas that are interconnected with each other. Each cell coverage area would have one or several transmitters and receivers that communicate with mobile telephones within that cell. It is this cellular concept that has given the name - cellular technology. This architecture, would allow you to maintain a continuous communication as you move from one cell to the other, and as you leave one cell and move into the next, the previous transmitter/receiver would hand over the call to the cell where you presently are, maintaining a seamless communication while you are moving.

When the true mobile telephony evolved commercially, it was the first generation systems (1G). These were analog systems, circuit-switched. The primary disadvantages were that the voice quality was bad, hand-off operation was not reliable, the capacity of accommodating enough simultaneous calls was low and there was no security. Mobile technology as we know today, started to evolve during 1970s, which was put under trial at Chicago in 1973. The system used a technology called Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS), operating in the 800MHz band. For several reasons, the break-up of AT&T being one, the system could not be launched commercially before 1983. That launch occurred in Chicago in 1983, with other cities following rapidly. Japan launched the AMPS system in 1979 and the Europeans, being active in the field of their own mobile technology, launched their system in 1981. This was launched in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. The Europeans had a different technology and they called it Nordic Mobile Telephony (NMT), operating in the 450-MHz band. Later the NMT was developed to work on 900MHz bandwidth and became known as NMT900. Consequently the British came out with their own technology in 1985 which they called Total Access Communications System (TACS), which operated in the 900MHz bandwidth. TACS is, in reality, a modified version of AMPS.

Motorola DynaTAC 8000X was the first hand-held mobile phone that was commercially introduced in the year 1983 after receiving due approvals. Consequently mobile phones started to take shape through the 1980s with the introduction of the cellular concept in mobile phones, and the creation of multiple base stations relatively close to each other with the protocols to switch between the cells, when a mobile phone moved from one cell to the other. The technology was completely based on analog transmission systems. The mobile phones were larger than what we have today and were designed to be permanently installed in the cars, getting the name 'car phone'.

The first mobile phone service with roaming was started in Saudi Arabia in the year 1981. The system was called Nordic Mobile Telephony (NMT) and was manufactured by Svenska Radio Aktiebolaget (SRA). It was after one month of the introduction that SRA started country based roaming. Soon mobile communication became a necessity with many other countries, and the world ventured into the technology. Although many technologies were developed during this time, particularly in Europe, AMPS, NMT, and TACS remained the most successful of them all. These are known to be the first generation (IG) mobile systems and it is said that they are still in service today. The success of the first generation of mobile telephony experienced success but remained with the disadvantage of not having adequate capacity to accommodate handling of substantial subscriber calls. The system had the capability to handle the capacity of large numbers of subscribers, but when the subscribers started to grow in millions, deficiency in handling of the calls appeared in the design of the system, mainly in the densely populated urban areas. Limitation of handling subscribers was not the only problem. The other major problem which came up was fraud which became a major concern. Steps were taken and the 2G technology began to evolve.

Second Generation Mobile2G

This saw the evolvement of the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), the original acronym of which is Groupe Spécial Mobile. GSM is a global digital radio system that uses Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) technology. This technology in GSM, enabled subscribers to operate on the same radio channel simultaneously by sharing time slots on full duplex mode, where both can talk at once. Half duplex mode is used in a walkie-talkie, where one person can transmit one at a time.

In fact the frequency bands are different to the one used abroad. GSM network has four frequency bands on which the entire world network is built. These frequencies are - 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz.

Prepaid Cell Phones And Credit Reports

Prepaid cell phones are great in case that you have bad credit. Long time ago when prepaid service was first offered this used to be its main advantage for the user. It did not matter if your credit was lousy, you could still get a cell phone and use it just like if you had a perfect credit.

Cell phones are so common these days it is really difficult to find someone who does not have one. Even if you do, it is in most cases by personal choice (your author was one of these, for the longest time I refused to get it, butt becoming a father changed my mind).

All of us need to be able to communicate with a person we care for and that is the main benefit of cell phones. That is why prepaid service is great, you can get it any time you want and nobody will check your credit history for it.

So what are the main differences (concerning credit checks) between prepaid and non-prepaid service?

Prepaid

With prepaid service you simply buy a cell phone, number and minutes you intend to spend talking and there is no need to worry about how it will impact your credit score. Or for that mater, whether you are going to get a cell phone in the first place.

Prepaid service providers just do not care about your credit rating because in order to use the service it has to be paid for in advance. Because it is paid in advance you pose no risk for the company that provides the service. The good thing about it is that you are %100 in control of your budget and it will not show on your credit report no matter what you do.

But remember, prepaid service is not just for people with bad credit, it is far easier to control your spending this way and you do not lose any of the cell phone service benefits. It is especially suitable for people who do not use cell phones a lot. You do not have the pay monthly bills but are still connected if you need it.

Non-prepaid

Regular, non prepaid service will check your credit score before you are approved. Credit bureaus are constantly informed by creditors about your payment history, including the cell phones companies. So remember that an unpaid cell phone bill can result in you being turned down for some other more important credit demand like home or a new car.

With prepaid cell phone service it is never going to happen, because you are %100in control of your budget at any time. It will enable you to easily avoid any trap caused by over spending.
