Vodafone offers iPhone 4 on Pay As You GoThe iPhone 4 has been out for quite awhile now, if you are one of those who love to use the iPhone just like a small iPad, then here’s a great new for you all: the Vodafone offers iPhone 4 on Pay As You Go!

 

Vodafone is to offer the iPhone 4 on a Pay As You Go tariff. Also adding in a few extra incentives up until November this year, Pay As You Go iPhone 4 Vodafone customers can enjoy one year’s worth of data which will be capped at 250MB a month in addition to one year’s access to BT Openzone Wi-Fi, set at 1GB a month.

 

Vodafone have launched the Pay As You Go option as a reaction to customer needs; with many people preferring the flexibility that PAYG systems offer. Mark Bond the Consumer Director of Vodafone has also stated that there will be further options and incentives introduced later this year.

 

Of course, the main disadvantage of PAYG is the hefty cost of buying the phone which when on contract, is usually offered for free. The 16GB PAYG iPhone 4 through Vodafone will cost you £480, whilst the 32GB version will set you back a whopping £570. If you’re still a lover of the iPhone 3GS, this will cost you £385 on the Vodafone PAYG deal.

 

Yes, quite pricey, but if you use the iPhone like a smaller iPad, (like browsing the web a lot, or downloading things quite often on the iPhone 4) then you might find the contract thing actually quite reasonable.

Dolce and Gabbana 'Miss iPhone' Case & Coin PurseTalking about iPhone cases we’ve seen quite a lot of them already, and some of them are really pretty, some might be very functional. Therefore, as we can always easily find a nice iPhone case, what’s so special about this Dolce and Gabbana ‘Miss iPhone’? Well, it’s beautiful and more high fashion, and… Just see it for yourself.

 

I absolutely love this multifaceted Dolce and Gabbana ‘Miss iPhone’ Case & Coin Purse! It’s dainty, sparkly, and just flat out fabulous! Featuring stunning sequins, this kiss-lock coin purse lavishly transforms to an iPhone case crafted from striated calfskin. Snap the coin purse to the case and wear as one, or wear either alone for multiple fashion options! I simply adore the dainty gold tone chain strap that can be used as a convenient carrying option!

 

An iPhone case and a coin purse, both are so fashionable and functional, the Dolce and Gabbana ‘Miss iPhone’ case and coin purse is really a nice outfit! Limited quantities of this little looker are available for pre-order at Nordstrom for $545.

Sony Ericsson VivazI usually love Sony Ericsson phones just because they’re good in design, and alway has friendly user interface. However for this Sony Ericsson Vivaz I do expect more for they’ve promised much more! And the result? Yes, I’ll tell you.

 

This week, I got my paws on Sony Ericsson’s Vivaz. With HD capability – and a nice new curvy design – I wanted to know whether it pulls off the multimedia magic we’ve all been promised.

 

First, let’s talk about the looks. Much has been made of the ‘human curvature’ design, and it’s not exactly been a universal hit. But I like it, actually, and certainly don’t think you’d be ashamed to take it home and introduce it to your mates. However, while I like the fact that it’s lightweight, the casing does feel a bit flimsy – taking the back off to get to the battery and SIM is a bit fiddly, and I was worried that it might snap with a teeny bit of pressure. The 3.2 inch touchscreen looks great though, and buttons are kept to a minimum (I was particularly pleased to see the camera shutter button, along with a video button, along the edge – much nicer to use than on the touchscreen itself, as in the iPhone).

 

However, I was disappointed upon opening the box to be presented with: a stylus. I’d vainly hoped there wouldn’t be the need. And I wasn’t particularly convinced with the thing when texting – the handwriting feature wasn’t quite as responsive as I’d hoped (I got lots of ‘hollo’s, even with my neatest handwriting), while the mini and full-sized QWERTY keyboards had me wishing for something in between. I did also struggle to see the screen properly when outdoors (just occasionally) as there seemed to be a bit of glare even on days that weren’t particularly bright.

 

Web browsing was nice and easy though, and the 360×640 pixels make sure your picture is sharp and bright. I must confess, despite regularly trying to ditch the stylus I kept having to pick it up again whenever I didn’t get the response I wanted.

 

But, I hear you cry, what about the camera? Well, this is where the Vivaz starts to show off a little. With 8.1 megapixels, face and smile detection helps to make sure you get the snap you’re after. And having the hard button on the side means it’s easy to grab a picture even in those blink-and-you’ll-miss-them moments. We thought that video quality was great – it’s certainly a good idea for anyone who wants to be able to grab some footage or pictures whenever they like, and upload them straightaway to YouTube or Picasa. YouTube (along with Facebook and Twitter) is preinstalled, too, alongside iPlayer and other video services, meaning your favourite videos are close to hand.

 

Ultimately, I had mixed feelings about the handset – it’s stylish, perhaps a bit specialist, but could be so much more user-friendly in terms of the interface. For the average user, the Vivaz might just be a bit fiddly for everyday use. But for multimedia fans who take pictures and movies regularly, it’s not bad at all.

 

Overall, this is a nice looking phone with pretty nice functions, but I have to say that I’m indeed a little disappointed, for they’ve promised so much more. But still the phone is really pretty!

So the launch of the iPhone 4 has finally passed. So now everyone is on to the next waiting line – for Twilight Eclipse. Yes, the Twilight Saga continues today to be exact, and people have already started lining up and sleeping in tents outside of theaters to be the first ones to see it a few days ago.

Pink Juicy Couture iPhone 3G Hardshell CaseToo many cellphone cases out there, seriously, too many! There’s all kinds of different cellphones cases made of many different kinds of materials and for many different phones. But I don’t know why, it’s like every girl’s always lack of a fine dress, we are always lack of nice cellphone case. Well, that’s hilarious, but true.

 

Looking for a couture cellphone case? Well Juicy Couture should do it for you. This pink hardshell case has a two-piece snap-together design and is decorated with the words “Peace, Love, and Juicy.” Very lovely!

 

This pink Juicy Couture iPhone hardshell case is just simple but lovely and thoughtful, and really really fashionable! I totally love this little cutie. The Juicy Couture case was found exclusively at the Apple Store and retails for $34.95. But I think it can be used on other kind of cell phones as well, just has to be about the similar size. Just take the cute pink case anyway, it’ll fit to something eventually.

iPhone 4 and iOS4The iPhone undeniably is a milestone in smartphone history, Apple has really made a generation with it, and now here comes the iPhone 4, a new generation of iPhone, and a new generation of all smartphones. If you haven’t read a lot about this new iPhone already, then let’s have a quick look at the new iPhone 4 with iOS 4 together.

 

First of all, since the iPhone 3GS resembles the iPhone 3G so much, I just want to give you a heads up that the iPhone 4 is drastically different from the iPhone 3G or 3GS, it’s literally the new generation of iPhone.

 

To start, it has an all new design features a sheet of glass on the front as well as the rear. Having glass on the rear means that it is scratch resistant. The edges are aluminum and act as the antenna for the WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular radios. The iPhone 4 is the thinnest smartphone available at 9.3mm, but is a bit heavier than the iPhone 3GS. The display has such high resolution, that each pixel is nearly the width of a human hair. This makes for a super smooth image that is many times clearer than what you’ll find on any smarpthone. The resolution is 960×640. Most high end smartphones like the Google Nexus One or EVO 4G have resolutions of 800×480. The iPhone 4 has two cameras. The camera on the front is used for the FaceTime video chat feature. The camera on the rear is 5MP with an LED flash, and can also record 720p video.

 

Sounds to me, this is really the most impressive smartphone for both entertainment and communication! The new iPhone ships with iOS 4 and is going to be available on June 24, and you can get the 16GB model for $199 and the 32GB model for $299, with a contract of course. Let’s just wait and see if it is really that good as the official said “It’ll change everything again”.
