Avoid The Hard Sell Of Mobile Phone Shops
By Mr Hanna
Mobile phones have become a necessity in modern life, something seemingly indispensable rather than an optional purchase. We need our mobile phones like we ended food and oxygen – literally everyone has a mobile phone and we need to upgrade and change these phones on an annual basis. The mobile phone market is one of the largest consumer markets in the UK simply because it is a captive market. Why then do mobile phone shops insist on giving us the hard sell when we come to buy or renew our mobile phone?
The Mobile phone retail market is competitive – of that there can be no doubt. But they have tens of millions of consumers to target who will always need to buy or upgrade their phone. From an outside perspective this would seem to be an advantageous position akin to shooting fish in a barrel. It seems unnecessary then that on two separate occasions I have been quite literally accosted and backed into a corner in a mobile phone shop while some over enthusiastic nee desperate sales ‘executive’ practically rams handsets down my throat. Considering a) I’m already in the store and b) I’m there because I wish to purchase a new phone the hard sell approach is not only unnecessary but frankly off putting.
This year I avoided the high street altogether in my search for a new mobile phone. My past experience of mobile phone shops forced me to look to new methods of getting a new mobile phone deal. I had done a spot of online shopping previously but had not really considered shopping for a mobile phone online until my network sent me some literature that mentioned ‘web exclusive’ offers. Most of the major networks such as Orange (http://www.orange.co.uk ) and T-Mobile (http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/ ) provide such offers to existing customers so checking out the deals when the time comes for you to switch phones might work our to your advantage.
The online equivalent of the high street stores also fare well from a customer centric point of view. Online mobile phone shops such as Dial-a-Phone (http://www.dialaphone.co.uk/mobilephoneshops.html ) combine deals from all major networks to give you an idea of the best deals across the market – so you can switch network if you find a better deal.
The real advantage of this is these options is the complete absence of sales staff, jargon and rhetoric and borderline aggression that you can find with high street mobile phone shops.

Data Loss by T-Mobile, Microsoft and Danger
By Gregg Housh
You probably have already heard about the colossal failure of Microsoft and Danger’s cloud system, leading to the loss of roughly 800,000 T-Mobile users’ cell phone information. The unique methodology T-mobile employed to manage their customers information experienced a disastrous failure on October 5th and while questions still loom as to how this could have occurred the take home lesson for all PC users is plain as day : always backup your data properly. This can include a single local backup for standard data or a more complex plan involving local and online ( internet ) based backup for critical information.
Sidekick data was not stored long term on the cell phone itself, unlike the other cell phone models. Instead, data was uploaded to Microsoft / Danger’s cloud : a cluster of many PCs sharing the load of information storage and computing power. Systems like this aren’t all that strange, if you use gmail or flickr you have already got data stored in a cloud. When one PC in the cloud fails, typically there’s minimal to no information loss. If many computers fail, or if the software connecting the PCs has a difficulty, all the data may be lost forever.
Thankfully Microsoft had some backups of the Sidekick information and finally began restoring it to client cell phones on October 20th, 15 days after the 1st loss of data. In the meantime, thousands of blog content, news stories and RSS feeds flooded the Net with bad PR about T-Mobile and Microsoft. The feedback was totally justified as well, due to early concerns within Microsoft the backup information had somehow been damaged or lost in the same event that took down the cloud. The assumption a company with the kind of resources and expertise as Microsoft could have made such a rookie mistake of creating backups that were depending on the same resources or software as the cloud is inconceivable to tech pros.
The cost of this disaster is more than only data loss and bad press, the monetary toll is still growing. Between users terminating contracts early ( without the customary fee ), $100 T-Mobile gift cards being offered to users whose data was lost, and pulling Sidekicks from shelves and internet stores, the final cost could be somewhere in the millions. The cost to customers themselves is unknown, but expected to be just as large. Lost contacts, missed opportunities due to not having the correct phone numbers, and many other problems plagued sidekick users.
Data recovery is a difficult and expensive process, and it’s not always successful. To keep your information safe, whether it’s tax records or footage of your kids, you should always keep a secure backup. It’s a simple, cheap, and reliable step that will help stop multi-million dollar calamities and private heartbreaks, but it must be done correctly. Geek Choice techs are trained professionals who can help ensure that your backup solution is safe, even if your system fails. If you haven’t already, take the time to call us at 1-800-GEEK HELP (433-5435) about backing up your information today.

Mobile Phone Ringtones Sales On An Upsurge
By Grigoriy Anoshenko
Mobile phone ringtones market is on boom, with people in favor of special ringtones to be set in their handsets. According to ARC Group consultants, ringtones fetched sales of USD 3.5 billion worldwide in 2007, an increase of 40% to what it was in 2002. Mobile phone ringtones are serving like hot cakes amongst the youth. The market is expanding like anything, with a worldwide revenue generation USD 2.5 Billion annually.
Basically, there are four kinds of ringtones. To start with, Monophonic Ringtones can play a song one note at one time, with no harmonies. Polyphonic Ringtones are music files with harmonies. True tones or Real-life Ringtones may include voice, quotes, or even weird sounds. Master Ringtones, on the other hand, refer to compressed clips of actual song files from a movie or album.
Europe and Asia are leading the way, with the sales of ringtones costing a price of USD 4 each. People are making more money in the sales of ringtones today than in CD singles. Not just that, ringtones have also outperformed legal Internet download services like Apple’s iTunes, which mints a wealth of about USD 1 million in a year across the globe.
Teenagers, who act as a fashion symbol, are more inclined more towards ringtones. There has also been an improvement in the sound quality so far. Almost all latest mobiles now offer polyphonic playback and support actual music clips (True tones) that can be used as ringtones. This is where even mobile operators and record labels can mint huge money. A ringtone can be derived from a pop song, on paying a certain royalty fee. For true tones, you will require record labels to get a licensed master recording. No dubious firm that used to provide porn phone lines will be allowed to stay in the industry. Verizon Wireless in the US has tied up with BMG and EMI. T-Mobile is planning to partner with Universal and Sony in Europe.
Record labels and operators are now eating a larger slice of the music download industry on its success of true tones. With the new 3G networks launched in the market, mobiles and music playback are fetching more thriving demand for music downloads to handsets. According to record firms and mobile operators, mobile-music downloads will also command a premium on mobile handsets for using fixed-lines services like iTunes.
Several people even pay for ringtones to be directly uploaded on their mobile phones via SMS on a regular basis. Not many are aware with fixed-line services, such as iTunes or Napster, or being a member of such kind of services can enable them to download legal music and transfer ringtones to their mobile phones without paying anything.

Traffic Mapping For Your Mobile Phone
By Madison Lockwood
In late July, Google announced that it will be offering live traffic information to mobile phones in more than thirty U.S. cities. Plans to provide the traffic feature to PCs are still in the works. The Google traffic feature will be released as an update to the free Google Maps for Mobile service, which has been available for 18 months for download on the Google web site. Google would not disclose how many subscribers it has, but it says the number is growing rapidly.
The feature expands Google’s mapping technology into an area where Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo already have a presence, but in different ways. Yahoo and Microsoft offer real-time traffic information on their Web-based mapping services for PCs. Microsoft has chosen to move into the mobile “space” by licensing traffic-monitoring technology for mobile devices to a Kirkland-based startup, InRix Inc. Yahoo currently has no mobile traffic service. MapQuest, an AOL property, offers traffic reports over cell phones for $2.99 per month.
With typical bombast, Microsoft announced that when operable, the InRix mobile service will actually predict upcoming traffic problems – however currently the MSN mobile mapping technology provides no traffic information at all.
In the cities where it works, the Google feature will show traffic conditions on most major highways – indicating green for clear roadways, yellow for medium congestion and red for high congestion or stopped traffic. Google Maps will work on most Java-enabled phones offered by Cingular and Sprint and all color BlackBerry devices. The service does not currently work on phones from other major carriers such as Verizon or T-Mobile USA. Google Maps sends the data – obtained from an undisclosed source – every five minutes.
Although Google’s free service doesn’t identify traffic hazards or accidents, it will let drivers know if there is a clogged road. Google also shows the expected drive time for a route when phone users search for driving directions. It has introduced a feature that lets users save their favorite locations and frequently used driving directions for future use.
The three search engines are not alone, however. In February, Rand McNally Traffic began offering a downloadable mobile application that delivers news of real-time traffic flow, accidents, weather conditions and road closures to 94 cities. Rand McNally Traffic is available on Sprint, Nextel, AT&T Wireless and other services for $3.99 a month.
Media giant Clear Channel Communications’ Total Traffic Network feeds content in 125 markets in the country to 15 services. One of them provides the information to subscribers with Sprint mobile phones for a $9.99 monthly subscription. That service is relatively new. In addition to weather conditions and traffic information, the service also provides data on gas station prices.
Cell phones are rapidly turning into GPS devices, with localized information as an added feature. It remains to be seen how many people will turn to their cell phone screens for traffic news, one eye on the road and another on the phone. In some states and several local jurisdictions, it is already illegal to use a handheld cell phone while driving. Some of these jurisdictions allow hands free use, but that won’t help with a visual feature. It will be interesting to see if this new functionality is limited by governmental concern over safe driving habits.

The Future Of Mobile Phone Technology
By Dave Lloyd
The past, present, and future of cell phones
Just in the last few years cell phones (usually called mobile phones outside the US) have become de facto standards for most of the population. What once used to be a luxury item for a select few that was carried around in a large leather bag and was the size of the brick, is no longer.
Technology has advanced the mobile phone industry to the point where the phone is a mere commodity for vendors, meaning that’s not where they make the real money. It’s in the service plans, which require 2 year commitments usually, where companies like Sprint, Nextel (now Sprint Nextel), AT&T (now Cingular), Cingular, Verizon, and T-Mobile make the revenues that enable the cycle of technology innovation and Marketing to continue.
While the downsides of cell phones have focused primarily on the annoyance of public conversations and the small possibility of brain damage due to cellular coverage near the ear, these pale in comparison to the benefits derived from cellular technology. For those who have had cell phones most of their lives (think anyone under 25), it’s hard to imagine life before cell phones. Writing down numbers in a paper directory, having change on hand (first a nickel, then a dime, then two dimes), knowing how to make collect calls, and finding pay phones in new cities were frequent logistic challenges. Not to mention the inconvenience of not being able to get access to those you need at any time.
At this point, corporate employees, sales professionals, parents, young adults, and anyone in industries where communication among many is critical could hardly imagine life without the benefits of mobile phones.
As technology matures, ringtones, cameras, GPS features, music, and multiple other features will be added to the hardware. And the software on phones will progress to include easier web access, advertisements, news downloads, and easier chat and email features – becoming the only piece of technology most use. In fact, in many countries in South Asia (where the industrial revolution never occurred) they have gone from agricultural industries right to technology, bypassing an entire type of economy. It is in these countries where the cell phone is an essential tool, enabling communication among millions who don’t own a computer.
As technology advances, and people respond positively to resulting changes, we will all benefit.
