This is Panasonic P904 cell phone from Japan. Nice sized normal looking phone that packs something unique. Like Nintendo Wii, this phone’s functions can be activated using motion. By shaking the phone in different motion, you can program the phone to activate certain functions. Nintendo Wii for cell phone, now here….
The BlackBerry 8700 has been available for Cellular One for some time now and I’ve never had a chance to write up a quick review of the phone so here it goes. The 8700 is similar to almost all Blackberry’s in layout and function but differs in the overall look and feel. The BlackBerry 8700 is very sleek and has a great visual appearance with a very similar user interface. The 8700 comes featured with bluetooth compatibilities which is something of an industry standard these days.
The phone itself is great and works extremly well as a Blackerry. I had no real complaints on any of the functions or features, the phone was never marketed like the Pearl so I didn’t expect Pearl features. I would recommend this phone for the business oriented individual who does prefers phones that don’t utilize the problematic window OS system.
The Federal Communications Commision (FCC) has recently announced its plans to raise the Universal Service Fund (USF) fee to $1 or more every month. This new ruling would apply to all carriers of wireless service. While $1 doesn’t seem like too much at first, for companies like Tracfone, this is nearly a 1600% increase from the previous USF fee. This increase adds up quickly and will definitely have a huge impact on Tracfone’s financials. Tracfone is currently saying alot to get people to get on their side to protest against the FCC’s rulings. The FCC is a federal committee but is operated completely by the public. Many past FCC rulings have been overturned because of public outcry, so hopefully for Tracfone this will be no exception.
