...more control over the cell phone in your pocket, let me make it clear: it's the carrier. Last week, I reviewed an LG phone that Cingular launched to run on its high-speed digital network. This week, I looked at Chocolate, the hyped-up LG phone Verizon Wireless introduced in order to draw more attention to its V Cast Music service (LINK). Both phones are very slick in entirely different ways, highlighting the priorities of the carrier. Chocolate is as much Verizon's as it is LG's, and although it's a happy partnership, it is not without...
...addition to quite a few Bluetooth wireless capabilities (stereo headset, dial-up networking, etc.), the phone has built-in GPS. You can download the VZ Navigator turn-by-turn GPS program - it's free to try but if you like it, there's a monthly fee. The phone has a tiny slot for a MicroSD memory card, formerly known as TransFlash. The good news about MicroSD is that it means Samsung, LG and Motorola are in agreement on a single format, one that is mercifully compatible with the standard SD format used by most digital cameras. A 1GB MicroSD card...
...microphone - even stuff playing on your car radio. Cingular's MobiRadio program is there, however a warning at launch says you should subscribe to an unlimited data plan if you want to use the 40-channel streaming radio service (which itself is $9.99 per month). The CU500's Bluetooth wireless system lets you connect to wireless headphones, a feature found on only the latest phones. It's fun to connect a wireless stereo headset (sold separately), although in my experience, the sound quality of full-sized MP3 files is better with the old-fashioned wired earbuds that come...
...ultimate allure is that the phone lets you access Cingular Video. The jewel in CV's crown is the exclusive HBO Mobile, perhaps the first mobile video service to attempt wireless distribution of full-length TV shows. You don?t get the latest episodes of The Wire and The Sopranos for the service's $4.99 per month, but at any given time you do get access to four or five "classics" from the network's various franchises, broken up into easy-to-download chapters. Exciting as it was to catch vintage Entourage, it?s only available if you live...
...higher degree in something other than business or law--or, worse, a stint of college teaching--can impart a deadly "academic stench" to one's résumé. And what are we to make of the growing corporate defiance of elementary grammar? At a job fair I attended, AT&T Wireless solicited sales reps with the question, if it was a question, "Are you ready to put your skills to work. Like the way you're a quick study. How you're good at finding solutions." Take that, you irritating, irrelevant English 101 professors...
