Samsung Galaxy S II hits another peak:



 Samsung has promoted its flagship handset up to the high level, like the Galaxy S II. And mean while the handset got off to a great start in South Korea as we reported, the Korean based manufacturer continues to promote the device hard, perhaps in preparation for an eventual Stateside launch. Although Samsung has yet to announce its plans for the device in the U.S., it has sent the phone on a difficult mission-climbing Mt. Everest.

 Samsung managed to get the 
Samsung Galaxy S II mountaineer Kenton Cool to bring him on a journey up the slippery slope of Mt. Everest. Once at the peak, Cool took out the handset and started tweeting. We presume that Samsung's plan was to show us that if a device like this can make it up Mt. Everest, it can surely last through your daily commute.

Casio G'zOne Commando is flaunting



  This might not be regarded as one of the elites in the Android atmosphere right now, the Casio G'zOne Commando can appeal to a certain group of customers. We all know that online retailers love to aggressively price new handsets to attract customers, but surprisingly enough, as is making it very hard not to like the pricing that the Casio G'zOne Commando is flaunting right now.

 Taking a quick peek as what Verizon is asking for, which is still placed at its usual price point of $200, this wonderful offer from Wirefly is a no-brainer. No matter which way you dissect it, there is no arguing that paying $20 for a handset that was launched over a week ago is indeed astonishing!

 So if you have a slight inkling of buying this Android powered smartphone, you may want to check out 

How Strange T-Mobile losing customers Still Going On:



 T-Mobile lost there 471,000 contract customers in the first quarter of this year.And the addition of pre-paid accounts reduced the net customer loss to 99,000 in the three month period, and already loss of 77,000 customers a year ago. Contract customers are valued more highly than pre-paid subscribers in the cell phone industry because of the contract that locks-in a steady revenue to the carrier and the fact that those on contract tend to spend more on other accessories and extra services.

 According to revenue T-Mobile brought in $4.63 billion in Q1, about the same as last year's figure. Operating earnings before depreciation and amortization came to $1.19 billion in the period, down from the $1.39 billion from the 2010 quarter. The carrier added a million new smartphone users to 9.1 million during the 3 months and contract ARPU rose to $52 from $51. Blended data ARPU, which takes pre-paid customers into account, dropped 20% to $13.10 in the first quarter.

 The carrier says that they are increasing the maximum speed of there network to 42Mbps and the faster pipelines will be accessible to 140 million people in the middle of this year. T-Mobile says that it has already launched the upgrade on certain markets.

Sprint Nexus S 4G available today for $199 2 For 2 Year contract



 If you are a fan of the  Android phones,then you must  pick the Nexus S 4G, which just launched today by Sprint, with Android 2.3.4 installed, the Nexus S features the latest build of Google's open source OS.Which is manufactured by Samsung, the Nexus S is offered by the carrier for $199.99 with a signed 2-year contract. Off contract, the device will run $549. Of course, if you shop around, you might be able to find a bargain. Best Buy has a $149.99 contract price on the handset, for example.


 The Nexus S 4G features are as 4 inch Super AMOLED screen which is curved to provide optimal viewing angles for the user. Under the hood is a 1GHz Hummingbird processor and the phone has a 5MP camera on back and a VGA front-facing shooter. The model comes NFC enabled and features 512MB of RAM. For some, the main draw is what the Nexus S doesn't have. You won't find Touch Wiz here, which means that you get the clean Google experience that puts the handset first in line for the Ice Cream Sandwich update.


T-Mobile G2x sale price $100 for new customers & $150 for upgrades:



 If you had missed out on scooping up the aggressively priced T-Mobile G2x last week through Radio Shack when it was set at $99.99,don't be panic because it appears that Wireflis giving the handset the same treatment this week.

 Considering that it’s arguably the best Android smartphone that’s gracing Big Magenta’s lineup right now, the $99.99 on-contract pricing it’s being offered to new customers is astoundingly fantastic – and half off to what T-Mobile is asking for. Although upgrades generally do not receive much love from online retailers, existing customers with qualified upgrades are still being given a $50 discount versus the usual pricing – meaning, you’ll only need to shell out $150 for an upgrade.

 In a time when other equally respectable smart phones are priced higher than $200, say like the HTC ThunderBolt and Samsung Droid Charge, the asking price that Wirefly is presenting us for it isn’t that bad at all. You're lucky this time this is valid for one also, but rather, it’s probably going to be offered at that price point for the rest of the week.

Sense 3.0 lockscreen on HTC EVO 4G



 Owners of HTC EVO 4G might feel a little envious since their device is loaded with Sense 2.1 but the up coming model of HTC EVO 3G will launch with Sense 3.0. It might reduce the hue of green that EVO 4G owners have been wearing by downloading the Sense 3.0 lockscreen on their handset.

 While installing the Sense 3.0 lockscreen, you need a rooted EVO 4G with a Sense 2.1 based Gingerbread ROM. Download and install the .apk file, turn off and then on your device and you should have the new lockscreen up and ready to use. And speaking of using the new screen, it features a round semi-transparent ring that you move up to unlock the phone.

 The new lockscreen features with music controls and a alarm snooze and dismiss button. It should be pointed out that the applications shortcuts are not working. When it is up and running, the plan is for the user to drag the ring to a shortcut which will instantly launch the app. 

There are 10 Ways To Improve Your Personality






 The "personality" is the typical pattern of thinking, feeling, and behaviors that make a person unique.
 In Now a days everyone wants to be attractive to others.  To that for, having a good personality is very vital - probably even more so than good looks. In fact, approximately 85 percent of your success and happiness will be a result of how well you interact with others. 
 Ultimately, it is your personality that determines whether people are attracted to, or shy away from you.While we can only enhance our looks to a certain extent, we have the ability to improve the personality as much as we want. We can develop or integrate any trait we deem fitting and agreeable.

Here are some good ways to make your personality better:



  • You must Be a better listener.
  • Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was considered one of the most charming women in the world because she cultivated the skill of being an exceptional listener. She was known for the way she would look a person in the eyes,  hang on their every word, and make them feel important. There is nothing more appealing than having someone listen to you intently making you feel like you're the only person in the world

   
  • Read more and expand your interests.
  • The more you read and cultivate new interests, the more interesting you are to others. When you meet new people it gives you the opportunity to share what you know and to exchange your views with them. 
  • Be a good conversationalist.
  • This relates to how much you read and know. Once you have much to contribute, learn how to talk about it with others. No one can read about or know everything, so it's refreshing to learn from others those things we don't have the time to about read ourselves.  If you happen to be shy, join a group like Toastmasters that encourages you to talk about what you know.
  • Have an Opinion.
  • There is nothing more tiresome than trying to talk to someone who has no opinion on anything. A conversation has nowhere to go if you have nothing to expound on. If, however, you have an uncommon point of view or differing opinion, you are more interesting and stimulating to be with socially (unless you're a know-it-all, of course).  A unique outlook expands everyone's 
    perspective.
  • Meet New People.
  • Make the effort to meet new people especially those unlike you. It not only exposes you to different cultures and alternative ways of doing things, it broadens your horizons. 
  • Be yourself.
  • The next most tiresome thing after having no opinions is trying to be something you're not. Molding yourself in order to fit in, or be accepted, usually backfires. Since each of us is unique, expressing that uniqueness is what makes us interesting. Attempting to be a carbon copy of someone else not only falls flat, but reveals a lack of authenticity. 
  • Have a positive outlook and attitude.
  • Who wants to be around people who are negative, complain a lot, or have nothing good to say? In fact, most of us run when we see them coming. Instead, be the kind of upbeat person who lights up a room with your energy when you enter it. Do it by looking for the best in people and things. Smile warmly, spread good cheer, and enliven others with your presence. 
  • Be fun and see the humorous side of life.
  • Everyone enjoys the company of someone who makes them laugh, or smile, so look for the humorous, quirky side in a situation - there always is one. Comic relief is a much welcome and needed diversion at times. 
    When you can add fun and lightheartedness to an otherwise dull, or gloomy setting, others will naturally be attracted to you, not to mention  grateful. 
  • Be supportive of others.
  • Being supportive is probably the most endearing quality you can integrate into your personality. Just as you yourself welcome it, be the support for others when they need it. We all love a cheerleader in our corner; someone who is encouraging, believes in us and helps pick us up when we're down.
  • Have Integrity and treat people with respect.
  • Being honest and true to your word will bring you the admiration, respect and gratitude of others. Nothing improves a person's personality more than integrity and respect - respect for others, as well as respect for yourself.
  • We humans have the power and ability to shape our personalities however we wish. When we develop ourselves to be all that we can be, we contribute to our own, as well as the happiness of others.
