Now, I am all for the environment.  I am all about recycling and making sure that you use a lower emission car, but honestly – do you think that we need to rely on using solar-powered phones?  Well, China seems to think that we do and honestly, they have come out with a phone by Sharp that is pretty neat … and solar-powered.

Sharp is actually trying to gear up so that they can launch this brand new clamshell phone and I have to say that it is actually pretty cool.  It offers up a 2.9-inch internal display, a 5-megapixel autofocus camera and Sharp’s proprietary solar cell module.

While right now there is not word on pricing, February is the month that it is going to be coming out in China.

Cell phones are hard to purchase – especially when you really have no idea what exactly you are looking for.  Well, I can tell you for sure that one of the hottest handsets out there is KDDI and they have come out with some of the hottest phones on the market right now – the Lotta.

This particular series of phones actually come in three different colors and I can tell you for sure guys that these phones are incredible looking.  These handsets actually have a 2.8-inch screen that is LCD, a 2Mp camera and of course a LED flash as well as a microSD card slot and a GPS.

If you want a phone at a decent price that looks awesome, this is the phone for you – for real!

Okay, this is an app that I am extremely excited for.  Now, for all of you that are like me and are constantly on the internet, you notice the differences between Firefox and IE – all that I use is Firefox.  Right now, doing these blogs, I am using Firefox and I have to say that this particular app is awesome!

Android is one phone that seems to be extremely popular right now and finally, they are switched their gears from just offering up IE as a browser and finally offering up Firefox as an option.

While you might have to wait until next month, I can tell you for sure that this particular app is going to be hella popular!

Ready for number three? It goes to the LG enV3. People love this particular LG due to its wide range of features. Its full QWERTY keyboard encompasses four lines, its web browsers — the EV-DO WAP 2.0 — are super fast, it has the ability for multi flips, and those are just a few of the features that drive people wild.

Number four: the Motorola Droid. I have lately heard too much about this phone to be really enthusiastic about it, but it wouldn’t be fair to leave it off the list because of that. Folks adore this phone in large part because of its touch screen, generally considered the biggest available on the market at four hundred thousand pixels on a 16 by 9, 3.7 inch display.

And last but not least, in number five, we have the Palm Pre, exclusive to Sprint with a 3.1 inch touch screen and extreme fluidity between applications.

It probably comes as absolutely no surprise that the iPhone ranks up there as number one on most lists. That is pretty much a given, and I will grant you that most of the people I know who have iPhones are absolutely in love with them.

Still, in this case, you have to wonder if the popularity level is not at all influenced by all the hype surrounding the iPhone 3G. I mean, after all, there was a heck of a lot of attention, to both the phone and all the many apps you can get for it.

The BlackBerry comes in at number two — shocker shocker. People love these smart phones, especially the BlackBerry Bold 9700. After all, that model is all business.

The year is drawing to a close, so it only seems right to take a look at some of the top cell phones of this past year. Specifically, we are going to take a look at the top five, because hey, five is a nice, round number — albeit not an even one — for a list of top favorites.

Where does the iPhone rank on the list? What about the Blackberry?

Keep in mind that if your favorite cell phone or smart phone does not wind up on the list, you should definitely sound off about it!

After all, we are all different. Just because the Android floats the boat of your BFF (or that girl you hate who lives down the block) doesn’t mean you have to think it’s the top choice.

Now that we have talked a little bit about researching the people that you are shopping for, let’s discuss the cell phones themselves.  Now, I can tell you that cell phones are tricky things to purchase.  There are a ton of different styles out there and certainly many different brands out there.

That is why researching them is so important.  You also want to make sure that you get the right cell phone on the right company.  For example, AT&T has their own set of cell phones and TMobile has another set.  You want to match the cell phone to the carrier.

Shopping for a cell phone for the holidays is not all that difficult once you get the hang of it – it just takes a little time and dedication is all.

Alright, so you have decided that you are getting a few cell phones for gifts.  Well guys, shopping for a cell phone is not something that you just want to go out and do.  It takes a lot of dedication and of course a lot of research.  There are a heck of a lot of cell phones out there and you want to make sure that you find the right one for the right person.

One of the first things that you need to do is consider the person that you are buying the cell phone for.  This is a huge part of what cell phone you are going to get them.  Do they like to take pictures?  Do they want a touchscreen?  Do they want something uncomplicated?  These are all questions you should be asking yourself.

The holidays are here people – can you believe that it is only five days until Christmas?  Well, I can’t and I can promise that if you are anything like me, you are still shopping for your Christmas gifts and trying to find the right gift for the right person.

Cell phones make fantastic gifts and if you have been looking for the perfect one for your daughter, son, wife or even your parents, you might be going about it all wrong.

That is why I am here, to make sure that you find the right cell phone for the right person.  In the new couple blogs, we are going to explore exactly what you need to look for in a cell phone to make the right person happy.  Stay tuned!

The third step for choosing what cell phone will suit you best involves deciding what type and style of phone you would like. Specifically, do you want a flip phone? Do you want a standard keypad or a full QWERTY keyboard? If you worry about “butt dialing,” to quote the charming colloquial expression of a recent, popular commercial, a flip phone might be best for you. However, if you send a lot of text messages and emails, then a phone with a full keyboard will likely suit you better. However, if all you really do is make and receive calls, then a standard, and thus less expensive, phone may be best.

Finally, you always want to read reviews of the phones you are considering the most. If other uses have had universally bad experiences with a certain phone, you may want to strike that one from your list — and remember that those who run out to buy the hottest flavor of the day in haste often repent that decision in leisure … with lots of fees and features they don’t even like.
