Doing It In
Style……………
Just got back from CES
and I liked what I saw at the Motorola booth. I have personally always
felt that Motorola makes the best cell phone (not that Nokia or Ericsson are bad
units), but I was always a little disappointed in the fact that the Motorola
phones were always so… Well…. Plain…. You look at the Nokia line and
you have a choice of colors etc… In fact, Nokia has a line of
replaceable covers... a styling touch that I personally like. Therefore,
if I like the styling of replaceable covers, why then do I have a Motorola
phone? Look, I like the styling thing, but I need the best phone I can
get… What I mean by best is the ability to make and receive calls, etc…
In my experience that means the Motorola has been the choice for me, based on
what I needed, not what I liked. Now things are changing…
Does this mean I’m
switching over to Nokia… No not that kind of change. The change is
being made by Motorola. They are now making phones with replaceable
covers, so you can now have that styling thing, with what I think is the best
brand of phones out there.
Now Motorola is not
stopping at just making stylish covers. They are working hard at making
even better phones. I saw a soon-to-be-released Star Tac with a to-die -for
full-color display. Anyone seeing this will want it. Also, Motorola
lets their technicians have fun from time to time. Now if you’re a real
techie, having fun is not partying, but is getting to build something just to
see if you can. So, what did they build… a one-of-a-kind pair of phones
with a live video. One phone was shown receiving a live video from the
other. Extremely real time and high quality. Now I personally
don’t see as big of a demand for that as I did for their other project.
A true wrist phone. Hello!, Calling Dick Tracy. No, this was not
some over-bulky smaller-than-a-Star Tac, but still
big-phone-put-on-a-wrist-band. This was a true watch size phone. To
use it you talked into the watch and listened on an earphone. You can also take
the phone off your wrist and use the built-in speaker. Now this thing is
going to sell. Makes me think… They need to get this and the
OnHand PC together….

More from CES…
The world of hands-free
phones is getting better and better. I will be doing some reviews on
portable hands-free voice controlled units. The big news is not only the
Voice controlled part, but it plugs into your cigarette lighter and can be moved
from car to car. It also works on lots of different phones, so you don’t
have to buy one for every phone your family uses. Look for the reviews in
coming issues.
See you next month
