The New Normal & the Wireless Consumer
Last modified on 2012-02-03 17:03:18 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
Today it seems like everyone is connected. Studies show a huge migration to smartphones where portability, functionality, and entertainment are the minimum requirements. From April 2010-March 2011, major handset makers launched more than 120 new smartphones.
(From CTIA 50 Quick Facts ctia.org/advocacy/research/index.cfm/AID/10381)
When you consider that most family plans make it more affordable to give kids cell phones than a landline, it’s no surprise that some experts claim there is over 100% market penetration.
According to Dave Takushi, a Wireless Retail Area Developer in St. Louis, there is a whole segment of consumers termed “value seekers.” Given the current economic environment, employers and consumers from the middle-class (white and blue collar alike) are seeking connectivity at a great price, without long term contracts. To accommodate this group of no-contract consumer, Takushi has created an opportunity to partner with Cricket Wireless.

MetroPCS has released yet another Android handset. The Samsung Admire is a fairly standard Android smartphone, featuring an 800MHz processor and a 3.5 inch screen HVGA (320 x 480 pixel) display, with a 3.2 megapixel camera. The new smartphone does run Android 2.3 Gingerbread, so you can get all the latest games and apps that run on Android.
If you are thinking of an early holiday gift for a loved one, this phone would be great for a high school or college student who is challenged with a busy schedule but needs all of the android phone capabilities.
The Admire can be used with MetroPCS’s unlimited plans which start at $50.00 per month. If you would like to test drive the phone prior to purchase you can visit any one of the Wireless Toyz location near you.
Here are some important specs for the Samsung Admire smartphone:

- Form Factor : Full touch

Mid-range Android devices always have a place in the market even while high-end devices like Samsung Galaxy S II are still present and very popular. There will be people who need to have common features for daily mobile phone usage outside of the additional entertainment features.
Wireless Toyz offers the Samsung Admire as another popular Android device with pretty good features and functionality. We encourage you to visit a Wireless Toyz location near you to determine if you “admire” it or not.

Samsung Transform Ultra Coming to Wireless Toyz
Last modified on 2012-02-03 17:28:33 GMT. 1 comment. Top.
Samsung Transform Ultra sliding phone introduced to Boost Mobile & Wireless Toyz lineup
The Wireless Toyz smartphone lineup announces the arrival of a new Samsung Transform Ultra. Though similar to the standard Transform, in many ways it appears that Samsung has worked out a quite a few of the problems that were present in the first production of the Transform.
For example, the Transform Ultra offers the new 2.3 Gingerbread OS while the original Transform is only shipped with the 2.2 FroYo. This new features grouped with a standard 800MHZ Samsung processor that ranges up to a 1GHZ snapdragon should help eliminate much of the delay and slow loading time that many people seemed to be unhappy with in the first generation. The Transform Ultra will surely take the step into the 4G age, so there is another plus for those lucky enough to embark into the 4g coverage area.
A few more upgrades appear on the phone such as the battery life, and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. However, there also appear to be a few instances in which functionality has replaced some of the “luxuries” of the first generation Transform, such as the downgrade from a 3.2MP camera to a 3.0MP camera. On a positive note regarding the camera feature, the smaller picture size can be shared more quickly on the new Transform.
Samsung Transform Ultra Sliding Phone Specs:
- Dimensions : 116 x 61 x 14 mm
- Size : 3.50 inches
- Weight : 4.90 ounces
- Type : GPS
- Navigation : Yes
- Type : TFT Technology ( Capacitive touch screen )
- Resolution : 320 x 480 pixels
- Light sensor : Yes
- Colors : 262 144
- Threaded SMS messaging
- Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and USB Connectivity options
- Video Calling Feature
- Multimedia: Video Playback, YouTube Player, and Music Player
- Accelerometer
- Full Keyboard (QWERTY)

Verizon Wireless Network and the iPhone
Last modified on 2012-02-03 17:26:23 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
In the first quarter of 2011, Apple brought its much anticipated iPhone to the Verizon Wireless network. Has it been worth it? Let’s consider some of the advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages
1) Its the iPhone. No single device has populated as much buzz and hype throughout the mobile phone community as Apple’s iPhone. As fashionable as the BlackBerry and Android smartphones have been over the years, users have begged to be able to experience the iPhone on a network other than AT&T. Now they have, most online testimonials that we have reviewed reveal that iPhone users on the Verizon Wireless network are relatively happy with the phone’s performance.
2) Pricing. The phone costs the same on both networks, and voice plans are relatively the same as well. However, the data plans for the phones are different. While the AT&T network only offers 2 gigabytes of data for $25.00 per month, the Verizon Wireless network offers unlimited data for $30.00 per month.
3) Major difference: Hotspot. Verizon’s iPhone has a hotspot feature that will allow the support of up to 5 devices whereas AT&T will allow for the same thing on its network. However, when it comes to Wi-Fi connectivity, AT&T limits the number of devices to three.
Disadvantages
1) Quickly Outdated! Apple seems to update its devices about every 12 months, so those of you who are techies that want all the latest gadgets are out of luck unless you want to upgrade at a full retail price for the next Verizon iPhone (upwards of $700.00).
3) No simultaneous talking and web surfing. Verizon iPhone users cannot use voice and data together, while users on the AT&T network can do both simultaneously.
2) Its not 4G on this phone. Every carrier is unveiling its higher-speed 4G network. Unfortunately, the iPhone 4 only works on a dawdling 3G network. The next version of the iPhone may fix that, but until then, if you want to have 4G speed with either AT&T or Verizon you will have to buy a different type of smartphone.
Alternatives in the Works
Based on a recent news release from the Wall Street Journal, Sprint Nextel Corp announced that it will soon be able to carry and support the iPhone 5 on its network.
The expansion to the Sprint network for the iPhone offers another sales channel for the popular gadget created by the team at Apple and could dramatically help the position of what is now the nation’s third largest cellular network provider.
The Verdict
The final choice on which network to use depends on the level of happiness you are experiencing with your current service. AT&T has gained the reputation over the past few years for providing diminished connectivity quality to its mobile devices. The company has recently gone to great lengths to improve its network and operating systems to help enhance the user experience. These efforts may be due in part to the growing demand of the Verizon iPhone.
Back to School Wireless Deals
Last modified on 2012-02-03 17:25:21 GMT. 1 comment. Top.
Your children are starting school again and you are making sure that clothes fit, supplies are purchased and of course that your student has a cell phone. But which one is right for their age and for your family budget? They will call, text, download apps, surf the web, and play games even though we insist that they are only to be used in the event of an emergency or after school.
Students rely on their mobile phones to communicate changes in their plans, transportation needs, and issues regarding their personal safety. The team at Wireless Toyz would like to give you a breakdown of suggested phone types and plans by age group.
Ages Eight and Under
For children under eight we suggest adopting a pay-as-you-go phone plan to help begin teaching them the responsible way to use and manage a phone. (Yes, there are many under eight that carry a phone these days!) The pay-as-you-go phones are pretty durable, easily replaceable, and teach the management of call minutes and text messaging.
Ages Nine to 12
Between ages of nine and twelve a good phone with call and texting features can be found from most popular providers for around $30.00 and monthly plan that includes unlimited texting and phone usage for about $10.00.
Ages 13 and Up
Students that are ages thirteen and up will be begging for the popular smart phones such as the iPhone. Entrusting this type of phone to your child can sometimes be a little tricky. Here is why. On average, smart phone pricing begins at a few hundred dollars and a good deal is considered to be a buy in price of about $200 for a decent model. The cost for a monthly data and voice plan for the phone can start at $30.00 per month. Some parents elect to add their child to their existing plan to help enforce limits and restrictions on use and availability of the phone features.
School Policies and Responsible Use
Most school policies are sensible in that they permit children to possess and use cell phones during the school day as long as the phones are turned off during class sessions and do not interrupt the normal course of a class.
However, breaking these rules may result in a phone being taken away from a student. Likewise, the parents may also be responsible for removing access to the phone per the request of the school. We strongly recommend reviewing the cell phone policy of your school with your student prior to the start of the new school year.

BlackBerry vs. iPhone: Which to Choose?
Last modified on 2012-02-03 17:20:58 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
Today’s mobile phone users have a need for speed and when it comes time to choose their next Smartphone, there will be a lot to consider. The announcement of the new Blackberry Bold 9900/9930 has wireless enthusiasts excited especially since it’s the first Blackberry to be released by RIM in almost a year. The new Blackberry Bold 9900/9930 packs a powerful punch with much needed improvements to the operating system and overall look and feel.
But, are the updated features enough to make it a contender against the top selling iPhone 4? We think it’s more a question of: Which platform is right for you? Both devices are unique in that they have a specific system they operate on, are limited to using applications made specifically for them, and each have specific navigations to operate them. The devices even seem to reach a specific niche of consumers: Blackberry users are typically highly organized professionals who are attracted to the plethora of business features; while iPhone users are generally socially connected, entertainment seekers who love the huge screen and thousands of apps. If you are deciding between a Blackberry and an iPhone, here’s a breakdown of their features:
BlackBerry devices, typically geared for the business user, have features such as removable memory, a Qwerty keyboard (easier for typing long emails and updating spreadsheets) and are pre-loaded with business applications. This newest Blackberry has slightly larger keypad than its predecessors, with more space between the keys, slightly raised edges and a sleek contoured body design. One of the most significant improvements to the BlackBerry is the processing speed. The Blackberry 7 OS is 40% faster than BlackBerry 6. Other improvements are: a touch screen feature making web surfing and scrolling a breeze; clearer and brighter LCD screen, a 5MP camera with flash, 720p HD video recording and Near Field Communication- allowing you to connect with other NFC-enabled devices and smart tags. The Blackberry Bold 9900/9930 may be the first Smartphone that actually bridges our needs for one device to support work and play.
Yet, Apple fans love their iPhones and they should. iPhones are fun loving, app rich, and totally customizable. The huge, crystal clear screen displays graphics, web pages, movies and games brilliantly. The number of apps available on Apple’s Apple Store, is significantly higher than the Blackberry’s App World; the talk time and battery life on the iPhones are greater and the processor speed is nearly the fastest on the market.
Of course there is more to consider before you decide on a device. Blackberry devices are supported by the Blackberry Enterprise Server – one of the fastest and most secure email systems for wireless devices. If you’re in to tablets, consider the Playbook. It works harmoniously with your Blackberry device for accessing all of your applications on a bigger screen. And don’t forget about the carriers. The iPhone is only available on 2 carriers, while the Blackberry is available on most, making your options for finding a service plan that fits your budget a little easier.
So, when it comes to your next upgrade, what’s most important to you? Convenience, entertainment, organization, security, flexibility? If you want to check out the new Blackberry devices, stop into your local Wireless Toyz and take one for a test drive.
If you are a technical person, here’s a layout of the latest specs courtesy of www.crackberry.com to help you decide.

The New Motorola Photon 4G now available at Wireless Toyz.
Last modified on 2012-02-03 16:07:02 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
The new Photon 4G is the latest handset from Motorola to hit the Android market. Based on Sprint’s new WiMax technology, the Photon 4G is powered by the latest version of Google’s Android operating system (Gingerbread) and boasts 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor, 1GB of RAM, 16GBs of storage and 4G network connectivity.
So, what does this really mean for the average cell phone user? It’s pretty much a “superphone.” The Photon 4G is probably the fastest phone on the market allowing you to watch movies, browse the internet, view documents and run multiple apps without interruption. On Sprint’s 4G network, Motorola claims the Photon 4G is up to 10 times faster than phones on 3G networks.
Lightning fast downloads, incredible graphic performance, uninterrupted connectivity all make the Photon 4G tops in mobile entertainment. Download Motorola’s exclusive webtop and now you can view your games, photos, movies on any HD screen. You’ll get the complete functionality of your phone and a Firefox web browser. With webtop’s multiple window capability, you can see and work on more things at once- watch Hulu, YouTube, and take advantage of Google Docs, Gmail and more. Work and play anytime.
With an 8 MP camera, digital zoom and dual LED flash you can capture the best moments in a picture or video and view them on the Photon’s vivid 4.3” screen.
If you’ve been waiting for that handset that does it all, this is probably the one. It comes with a kickstand, but the optional accessories like the HD Station, Wireless Keyboard or Vehicle Navigation Dock make it an indispensible device for entertainment, travel and communication.

Blackberry Playbook a Great Business Tool
Last modified on 2012-02-03 17:13:08 GMT. 1 comment. Top.
RIM’s long awaited Blackberry Playbook has finally hit our shelves and it was definitely worth the wait. If you are Blackberry fan, you will surely want to check out this tablet. It looks good, it feels good and if you are in a position where presentations are essential to closing the deal, you need this device.
Whether you are presenting in PowerPoint, pictures or pdf, moving from page to page or app to app is as easy as swiping your finger across the screen. The battery life is a little less than its competitors, but on the plus side it comes with Flash Player 10.1.
The downsides are minor if you are looking for an executive style Tablet and really love your Blackberry. It doesn’t have an external USB port, the music app is a little quirky, and the number of general apps is pretty limited.
However, on the plus side; it’s very intuitive, it pairs well with your Blackberry and comes with some great business tools like Adobe reader and the Documents to Go suite. Image quality is great, and the Webkit browser is decent- YouTube and Flash games videos play virtually stutter free. The camera is average, but takes good pictures and very suitable for most shots.
One of the main features of the Playbook, that sets it apart from other tablets, is the ability to connect it to your Blackberry device. Once you download the Blackberry Bridge software from Blackberry’s App World, your Playbook works as an extension of your phone. You get access to your email, calendar, contacts, memo pad and tasks- now on the large tablet display. Depending on your wireless provider, you can even browse the web using your existing Blackberry Smartphone’s data plan.
If you are looking for a big brother to your Blackberry handset, this tablet is what you need. RIM is constantly updating apps and tweaking the system. If you are looking for the WOW factor, you may consider checking out the other tablets on the market.

Do you suffer from “mobile” rage?
Last modified on 2011-12-06 20:21:17 GMT. 0 comments. Top.
Do you feel like people talking on a cell phone next to you invade your space? Are you angered by the kid in the theater texting during the movie? Is talking on a phone in the bathroom offensive to you (even if the person is using a hands-free device?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you might be suffering from “mobile rage.”
FOX Business just posted some interesting stats:
A recent survey of 2,000 Americans conducted by Intel Corporation (INTC) and Ipsos found that 75% of respondents feel mobile manners are worse now than they were a year earlier, and 91% report seeing someone ‘misuse’ their mobile device in the past year.
The top pet peeves reported were using mobile devices while driving (73%), talking on a mobile device loudly in public places (65%), and using a mobile device while walking on the street (28%).
Cell Phone Recycling Kiosk

If donating your cell phone to charity or recycling it for cash was as easy as dropping it into an ATM type of machine, are you more likely to do it? With only a small percentage of cell phones being recycled annually, this may be a great option. Consumers can choose to get cash back or make a donation to a charity of their choice.
There are currently only a handful of these ATMs around; so in the meantime, recycle your phones at Wireless Toyz.

It’s Oscar night again. For the nominees, it means a night of glamor and gift bags. For manufacturers and designers it’s a fight for the chance to have their products seen in the hands of a celebrity. You can’t replicate the buzz or buying frenzy a product gets from being seen with the likes of James Franco or Natalie Portman.
There are bags for presenters, bags for nominees, bags for the “losers”, bags for the winners, bags for their pets, you name it. They contain everything from artwork to jewelry to gadget. This year’s gadget: the Motorola Xoom tablet. But it’s not just any Xoom Tablet off the shelf. This year’s nominees for best actor and actress, best supporting actor and actress, and best director categories will have the privilege of taking home gold ones.
The Motorola Xoom (available in black for the rest of us) features , a 10.1 inch 720p HD screen, a rear facing fully functioning HD camcorder and 5mp camera with LED flash and digital zoom and a webcam on the front. Android operating system. See it in use from their booth at CES , courtesy of CNET.
