Motorola Atrix 2 Review

KimD — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 04:29:13 +0000

The Motorola Atrix was a groundbreaking phone when it was released, yet as time went on, the problems with the phone became very apparent. Motorola took the criticism and made some important changes, releasing the Atrix 2 only months after the Atrix hit the market. First of all, they increased the screen from 4 inches to 4.3 and removed the Pentile display, so the larger screen looks better, has crisper text and deeper colors. Motorola also decreased the thickness of the phone to .40 inches, so while it’s bigger at 4.96 by 2.59 inches, it feels smaller and thinner and is more comfortable to hold. Other than that, it still has the same basic design as the Motorola Atrix.

Motorola did remove the fingerprint reader, but they included other security devices, like On Device Encryption. Also added is an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash that takes crisp and clean pictures. It also has 1080p HD video capture. Running the Atrix 2 is a dual core 1.5GHz TI OMAP processor. You have the choice between a standard Android keyboard or SWYPE for messaging, texting and web browsing. For the music lovers, an added feature includes the lyrics displayed while the song is playing. While some won’t care, this is a cool and unusual feature to the standard smart phone music player. The sound is deep and full. Web browsing and download speeds are incredibly fast. Motorola improved it’s compatibility with the AT&T network, so download speeds are noticeably better than the original Atrix. The Atrix 2 is also a world-ready phone.

All accessories for the Motorola Atrix 2 are available at http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/motorola-atrix-2-accessories.htm.

We recommend having a reliable charger to ensure your battery is always up and ready to go and an external battery pack is a great option. The Motorola USB Power Pod – Original (OEM) 89442N is a convenient portable charging solution for your Motorola Atrix 2 device. This Motorola Atrix 2 power pod can charge two devices simultaneously and charge USB-compatible products. Manufactured to be eco-friendly, this portable charger contains automatic shut-off features when devices are fully charged. Carry this around to always keep your device charged.

All Motorola Atrix 2 batteries are available at http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/prodcat/moatrix-2_1.

We also recommend protecting your phone and an Otterbox cover is a well known and high quality brand. The OtterBox Commuter Series case for the Motorola Atrix 2 phone offers the best of both worlds; incorporating elements from the rugged Defender Series line with the silicone, skin-like Impact Series line to create a slick Motorola Atrix 2 case designed with your style in mind. It’s protection without the bulk. The exposed silicone corners dissipate impact away from the Motorola Atrix 2 device for additional bump and shock protection and the smooth outer layer allows the case to easily slide into your pocket or purse. All buttons are fully functional through the Motorola Atrix 2 case and all ports are accessible through silicone plugs.

Motorola Photon 4G Review

KimD — Sun, 24 Jul 2011 04:17:53 +0000

The Motorola Photon 4G is setting up to be the top rated smart phone from Sprint. A little on the large size at 5 by 2.63 by 0.48 inches, Motorola designed the body to be comfortable in any hand, especially with the soft touch finish on the boy of the phone. If you don’t want to hold the phone, they installed a kickstand on the back, so you can prop it up while watching movies, listening to music or just waiting for a call. You can watch movies and play games all day long with a 1700mAh battery that has a rated talk time of 10 hours.

Inside the phone is a NVIDA Tegra 2 dual core 1GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. Run any app, play any game, watch any video, even multitask, the phone will still run as smooth as if you’re just reading a text. The 4.3 inch screen is stunning. With 540 by 960 pixel resolution, it’s perfect for watching the videos you record in 1080p HD or checking out the pictures you take with the 8-megapixel camera. The phone has a 16GB memory card preinstalled and the external memory slot can support up to 32GB. It also has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3.5mm headset jack, microUSB port, FM radio, DLNA capabilities, and HDMI port. The Motorola Photon 4G has every feature you’ve come to expect from a high end smart phone and more. All compatible accessories are available at http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/motorola-photon-4g-accessories.htm.

We recommend having a signal booster to ensure your signal is always as strong as possible. Some signal boosters come integrated into a car mount, giving you two accessories in one. The Wilson plug-and-play Sleek helps users reduce Motorola Photon 4G dropped calls, increase Motorola Photon 4G data rates in weak signal areas and originate Motorola Photon 4G calls from those dreaded “dead spots”. The Sleek and its external vehicular antenna increases any phone’s output power to the cell site while improving its ability to hear signals it normally cannot, keeping the user more reliably connected. Designed for simple set up, the Sleek™ can be easily moved from vehicle to vehicle. Built into the Sleek™ cradle is a Wilson tried and tested bi-directional signal amplifier and battery charging port. The cradle is ideal for hands free operation in conjunction with a Motorola Photon 4G user’s headset or Bluetooth device.

All signal boosters are available at http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/prodcat/mophoton-4g_6.

We also recommend having a Bluetooth speakerphone, an accessory that can be used in the car, at the office or in the home. With the BlueAnt S4, there is no longer any need to touch your Motorola phone or car speakerphone while driving. For the first time, drivers can communicate on the road, making and receiving calls and accessing a world of information, using only their voice. When the Motorola phone rings you won’t need to take your eyes off the road to know who is calling because the S4 will read out the caller’s name or number and ask you if you want to take the call. All you have to do is say “Answer” or “Ignore”. The BlueAnt S4 can be removed easily from the car and taken indoors to be used for conference calls or just so you don’t have to be tied to the phone while you’re talking.

We recommend protecting your phone with a classy leather case. The Motorola MB612 XPRT AXIOM cases look simple but are full of elegance. Its sharp, modern design is accentuated by hand stitching and an abrasion-proof mesh front frame. For your convenience, the magnetic flip cover can be opened or closed with minimal effort.

KimD — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 03:33:54 +0000

Designed for the business professional on the go, the Motorola Droid Pro has features that will impress anyone looking for both business and entertainment. The body of the phone is 4.69 by 2.36 by 0.46 inches, a pocket friendly device that’s comfortable to hold while typing and using the touch screen.

The TI OMAP3620 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 2GB of ROM and Android 2.2 Froyo makes sure you can do anything and everything you need to.

Motorola Milestone 2

KimD — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 03:33:56 +0000

The Motorola Milestone 2 is an updated version of the Milestone, recreated for the European market. The phone has a slide out full QWERTY keyboard that feels solid and secure when it’s out, making it comfortable to type on and reduces mistypes. The phone measures 4.58 by 2.38 by 0.54 inches – a perfect size to slip into your pocket, bag or purse. The 3.7-inch capacitive touch screen has a high pixel resolution at 480×854, resulting in very crisp lines, great detail and deep colors.

The phone is very fast to respond, thanks to the 1GHz TI OMAP processor and 512MB of RAM. Android 2.2 adds to the phone’s ability to quickly and effectively run multiple apps. The Milestone 2 comes with all the standard smart phone features: Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi, DLNA, 3.5mm headset jack, microUSB port, 5 megapixel camera with dual LED flash and 720p HD video capture.

Feel free to load the phone’s memory up with pictures, videos, music, apps and documents – the phone comes with a 1400mAh battery with a rated talk time of 9.5 hours and standby time of 13 days.

We recommend Milestone 2 owners have a protective cover to keep the phone safe from scratches and bumps. Seidio’s Innocases have quickly become one of the most popular products they have manufactured. Crafted from a hard yet flexible material, it provides an amazingly thin layer of protection without adding the excessive bulk of other Motorola Milestone 2 cases. The Innocase consists of interlocking front and back pieces that fit your Motorola Milestone 2 phone snugly, and Seidio’s signature soft touch finish provides a great feel and better grip without attracting lint. It is also available in a combo, which includes a matching holster. More protective cases are available at http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/prodcat/momilestone-2_12.

We also recommend all cell phone users have a car mount to use their phone safely while driving. SpiderPad does not need any glue or magnets and firmly holds your Motorola Milestone 2 cell phone, MP3 player, and other items to your dashboard. Adhering vertically or horizontally, the SpiderPad will keep all devices within reach. If you ever need to revive the Motorola Milestone 2 pad’s grip, simply wash in water and re-use. Special features include: Resistant to extreme temperatures, washable, removable without leaving residue, sticks to any dash, no glue or magnets used. Many more car mounts are available at http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/prodcat/momilestone-2_4.

Verizon Motorola Droid Pro Review

KimD — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 04:28:47 +0000

The first worldwide Android phone from Verizon, the Motorola Droid Pro is built to work just as hard as you, wherever you are. At a great size – 4.7 by 2.4 inches and only .46 inches thick – this phone feels solid in your hand and is slim enough to slip into any pocket. The 3.1-inch touch screen is responsive and supports up to 16 million colors, making graphics and apps look great.

The phone supports both GSM and CDMA networks, working on the CDMA network while in the states and automatically switches to GSM when traveling. It also allows 3G support overseas.

Within certain conditions, the Droid Pro can be unlocked and the included SIM card can be switched out with one bought elsewhere, which can make it cheaper to use internationally. When traveling overseas, it’s important to know what security features you have. If you lose your phone you can clear the information from the phone and the SIM card remotely, complex passwords are allowed and it comes preloaded with VPN client. It also supports phone and SD card encryption, so if your password does get hacked, the information on the phone is unreadable. Find great accessories for the Motorola Droid Pro at a discount at DiscountCell.com. http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/motorola-droid-pro-accessories.htm

Because this phone will be sure to receive heavy usage, we recommend getting an external battery pack. This will allow the user to recharge their phone wherever they are, so if they are traveling they don’t need to worry about finding a compatible electrical outlet if their battery dies. Many external battery packs come with multiple charging cables, allowing it to charge more than one device. Because it’s small and compact, this is a great accessory for traveling.

Motorola Atrix 4G From AT&T

KimD — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 04:58:16 +0000

The Motorola Atrix 4G is one of the top smart phones available from AT&T and is designed with the business and corporate personality in mind. The Atrix is designed to work with a Lapdeck, an accessory dock that turns the Atrix into a netbook. The Lapdeck has the docking port, long life battery, a keyboard, large touch pad, two USB ports and a pair of speakers. The dock powers up when the Atrix is plugged in and powers down when the phone is removed. Although the Lapdeck was specifically built for the Atrix, the Atrix does not need the Lapdeck for the user to be able to utilize all the features included on this phone.

The phone is extremely slim at .4 inches and has a solid feel to it. The 4-inch qHD design is extremely bright and crisp and combined with the dual-core Tegra 2 1GHz processor and the 1GB of RAM, this phone responds very quickly to the touch. The phone runs on Android 2.2 with Motoblur. Another features is the 5-megapixel camera with dual LED flash. At launch, the Atrix supports 72op HD video capture and playback, however, Motorola has said they will upgrade it to 1080p and release a software upgrade to all users in the future. Get great accessories for this high powered phone at DiscountCell.com.

This phone will get a lot of usage and although the Atrix ships with a 1930mAh battery, we recommend getting an external battery pack as a power backup so you are never caught with a dead battery. The external battery packs are light and small, fantastic for traveling. The external battery pack can be charged with any kind of Micro USB charger and many of these packs come with different charging adapters, which allows the individual to charge more than one device with this single accessory.

Motorola Defy From T-Mobile

KimD — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 04:14:08 +0000

Most ruggedly built phones are flip phones with basic features. The Motorola Defy from T-Mobile is a one of a kind smart phone that is built to last through every work place, job site or accident prone situation. It may not seem like this when looking at it, as it is extremely slim at .5 inches. The display is 3.7-inches of Corning Gorilla glass, which is scratch and impact resistant. The ports are covered in rubberized stoppers, which protects the interior of the phone. The casing on the phone is attached with screws, keeping the phone from coming apart at the seams and keeping dust out of the interior of the phone.

The display supports 16 million colors and has a 480×854 pixel high resolution, making it extremely bright and crisp. The Defy ships with Motoblur, a user interface that allows the individual to be connected to their social networking sites with the integrated apps and to customize their home screen. The Defy also includes Bluetooth with A2DP support, internet browsing, email and multimedia capabilities, 3G data, DLNA support, 5-megapixel camera, FM radio, GPS with TeleNav and Wi-Fi that can also support calls, one of the very few Android phones that has this feature.
