The LG Vu and Verizon's XV6900
It has been nearly a year since Apple Inc. launched the elegant and easy-to-use iPhone. Since then, our perceptions on how we can use a mobile phone have changed.

The LG Vu and Verizon's XV6900 (an, ahem, attention-grabbing name; another missed lesson) are both handsome from a hardware standpoint. In some respects, I prefer either to the iPhone in terms of styling. But based on usability, they are so far behind what Apple achieved that it seems unfair to even make a comparison.

Listening to Internet radio on the iPhone and iPod
Essentially, the one thing these phones have in common with the iPhone is touch. And even that needs work..buy 3g iphone here
LG Vu
Let's start with the phone I found more disappointing because it looked more promising than the other.
There are reasons to choose the LG Vu (pronounced "view") over the iPhone, both offered exclusively by AT&T.
You can watch live television via AT&T's mobile TV service. And the touch screen excels with the on-screen controls. The carrier offers mobile channels from CBS, NBC, FOX and a few popular cable channels, such as Comedy Central, CNN and ESPN.
The screen, which measures 3 inches across, is nice for TV viewing. Also, you can shoot video, and the phone is an AT&T video-share model. These are appealing features that the first version of the iPhone does not offer.
The Vu is one of 10 phones that can use AT&T's video-share feature, which allows two users to have a video chat via mobile phone as long as both parties have video-share phones. This is a great tool for families if one parent travels a lot, putting the kids a video call away..buy 3g iphone here
I like the controls for dialing a call and how the home screen is set up with an intuitive menu that gets you where you want to go, both lessons learned from the iPhone.
But I don't like entering text, either for writing an e-mail or a text message. The touch keyboard is not nearly as easy to use as the iPhone's, and that's because the Vu uses "haptics" for its controls. With haptics, you feel a slight vibration when you hit a key, basically confirming the action.
It's fine for dialing a phone call because the number keys are big, but not so much with the QWERTY-style keypad. Unlike with the iPhone, I needed to press firmly, and I often hit the wrong keys because the letters are squished together.
More important, the haptics controls didn't work well for the other functions that the iPhone has made simple: scrolling through the content on your phone or surfing the Web. For instance, you can't use a finger swipe to move through pictures or, in what enthralls many iPhone owners, use two fingers to enlarge an image or Web page.
The Vu costs $300 after rebate, with a two-year contract. Some people might find the Vu an appealing alternative to the iPhone. I might have, too, if it had come first. But now a year after the iPhone's release, I was disappointed..buy 3g iphone here
Verizon's XV6900
Likewise, I was disappointed by the XV6900, offered from Verizon and made by Taiwan's HTC. I couldn't figure out what this phone wants to be: a touch-screen phone or one operated by a stylus, like the Palm Treo. It comes with a stylus and, frankly, that's the easiest way to navigate around this smart phone, which operates on Windows Mobile 6.
Whereas the iPhone is a fun tool that is becoming a device for productivity, the XV6900 is for productivity and isn't fun.
I've reviewed Windows Mobile 6 phones in the past and think they generally are fine. But the operation of this phone is clunky and confusing and does not reflect well on the parties involved— Microsoft, Verizon or HTC.
Thankfully, they are not marketing this model as an iPhone alternative. But HTC has embarked on a U.S. brand advertising campaign featuring a similarly styled touch phone, the Diamond, that also runs on Windows Mobile software. (You can watch the HTC Diamond online at YouTube.com /HTC.)
I couldn't get the phone to do the tricks the ad shows, so lets hope the Diamond, expected later this year, performs better than the uninspiring XV6900. It sells for $299, with a two-year contract and rebate.
The XV6900 did perform some functions well, such as quickly accessing my Web-based e-mail account. Also, it runs on Verizon's quick EV-DO network, so getting online was efficient.
Yet navigating those Web pages was a pain: Do I use my finger or the stylus? Neither worked well. There is no magic here. The functional XV6900 would be impressive if this were still 2006..buy 3g iphone here
Perhaps the next few efforts at a touch-screen phone, including Sprint's Instinct, will provide the fun and function Apple got right in its first effort. So far, if someone asked me to suggest a cool touch phone, there's still only one worth buying.

the iPhone into at least 10 more European, Middle Eastern, and African countries.
Orange, France Telecom's mobile provider, will whisk the iPhone into at least 10 more European, Middle Eastern, and African countries.
The iPhone is becoming quite the world traveler.
The deal with Apple, announced Friday, will bring the popular device later this year into Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Portugal, Egypt, and Jordan, as well as into unspecified countries in Africa and--back on the home side of the Atlantic--the Dominican Republic.
Until recently the iPhone has been available in just a handful of countries outside the U.S., including the U.K., France, Germany, and Ireland.
But announcement after announcement of foreign outreach keep popping up. Since late April, the list of target countries has frenetically expanded to include Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India, the Philippines, South Africa, Greece, Turkey, Czech Republic, Italy, Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Jamaica, and Puerto Rico.
No doubt, that list is incomplete...more info here

announcing the launch of the Thunder
Research in Motion, the Canadian company behind the BlackBerry handheld gadget, is working on plans to launch a touch-screen version to compete head-to-head with Apple's iPhone.
Apple's iPhone and the most recent 'Bold' BlackBerry
RIM is understood to have been working on a new model called the Thunder - with plans to sell it exclusively through Verizon Wireless in the US, and Vodafone in other parts of the world.
Rumours of a touch-screen BlackBerry first appeared on the internet earlier this week, but it is believed that plans for the new model launch are well under-way.
RIM has neither confirmed nor denied that the Thunder exists, and declined to comment on mounting speculation that it will be released in the third quarter of this year.
In February, the company said it may bring out a touch-screen device if there was demand for it.

If RIM is close to announcing the launch of the Thunder, the new device is likely to come to market around the same time as BlackBerry's other new model - the Bold - which RIM released details and pictures of earlier this week.
The Bold is in part a new rival for the iPhone, offering a media player, a two megapixel camera, and a stronger design with a stylish silver rim.
It is also aimed largely at those wanting the added capabilities that come from a 3G network - and so will be useful in the fight against the iPhone's rumoured upcoming 3G model.
Although there are no suggestions as yet that RIM will combine the Bold's technology and the Thunder's touch-screen capabilities, were it to do so, the product would be a direct rival to the iPhone.
In the past, RIM co-chief executive Jim Balisillie has said he does not see the iPhone as a direct threat to its core business market.
However as RIM expands more and more into consumer markets, the company will increasingly come up against a barrage of smart-phone competitors, in addition to the iPhone. more info click here

developer plans to tap the device's graphics and motion detector technology to let consumers do some virtual mixing
Is the iPhone ready to mix you up a healthy beverage? Hardly, but one developer plans to tap the device's graphics and motion detector technology to let consumers do some virtual mixing.
SiiTE Interactive, a New York-based creative marketing agency, said it's developing a range of iPhone applications for clients and just for experimentation. One is for a yogurt chain interested in SiiTE's idea for mobile coupons.
The concept is that an iPhone user will be able to mix a virtual smoothie, picking, say vanilla yogurt, strawberries and other ingredients on the screen. Once the ingredients are selected, the consumer can literally shake the iPhone to 'blend' up the drink they want (software written for the iPhone's accelerometer lets the device respond appropriately to the shaking). Then the consumer can go to the yogurt shop any time with their iPhone and have an on-screen bar code scanned to receive the discount.

"It can be a channel to keep you connected to the company," Alan Ruthazer, CEO of SiiTE Interactive, told InternetNews.com. "It's a fun thing to show off to your friends and we think it can be an effective form of viral marketing."
A few other ideas being cooked up by SiiTE for the iPhone include an "Origami-gram," an illuminator for rock concerts and a virtual juice squeezer.
The Origami-gram, or "iFold," uses the iPhone's multi-touch technology to let users write a note and fold the virtual paper into custom origami configurations. The resulting swans, boxes, flowers and other designs can be saved in online galleries for others to enjoy.
For rock concert fans, cell phones have already replaced cigarette lighters as the device of choice to hold up high in a show of a solidarity. SiiTE is working on an application that will help you light up the hall with your iPhone, but also shake them in unison to generate the sounds of maracas, tambourines, jingle bells, and other instruments. SiiTE thinks this mobile music application could be included as a promotional item fans will download when they purchase a song at the iTunes store.

Squeezing the iPhone
Another concept in development: SiiTE said it's working with "a leading orange juice brand" to drive home the message that their juice is fresh-squeezed by offering a "Juicer" challenge on the iPhone.
Basically, it's a little game where users try to beat the clock and fill as many glasses of OJ as they can by tilting their iPhone to roll an orange into a squeezing zone and then using two fingers to squeeze the juice from the orange. With a flick of the wrist, the used orange is flipped off screen as the next orange rolls into place.
Analyst Maribel Lopez said she's not surprised such offbeat applications are starting to appear or at least being discussed.

"I expect an absolute explosion of applications for the iPhone now that the beta of software development kit (SDK)'s been released," Lopez, CEO of Lopez Research in San Francisco, told InternetNews.com. "iPhone users are very engaged with the device because it's such an easy to use platform.
When Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) releases the finished SDK in June, it will also launch a online site similar to its iTunes store that will showcase iPhone applications that are free or cost money. "If you're a developer looking for a quick way to reach a community actively seeking new applications, Apple's software store makes perfect sense as a way to prove there's a market for them."
Another development iPhone fans are waiting for are new models of the device rumored to be coming out this summer. Apple hasn't confirmed those rumors though its partner, AT&T, said new iPhones with a faster 3G connection will ship this year.
Another rumor making the rounds is that the new iPhones will include haptic technology from Immersion (NASDAQ: IMMR), the company that provides the force-feedback effect used in some video game peripherals.
Immersion's VibeTonz technology can be used to provide tactile cues for touch-screen interfaces and could give iPhone users a more tactile response when using the device's virtual keyboard.

1. How to Set Any Picture as Wallpaper
With the iPhone, you can use any picture that you've synced through iTunes or taken with the built-in camera as wallpaper. It is a great and simple way to add a little bit of your personality to your iPhone.
Here's how to do it:
* Press the home button to get to the iPhone's home screen.
* Select settings.
* Select Wallpaper.
* Choose the folder from which you want to select your wallpaper image.
You'll see one labeled Wallpaper at the top with pre-loaded wallpaper pictures from Apple. That's where our rose in the picture above comes from.buy 3g iphone click here
Next up is Camera Roll, where all the pictures you take with the iPhone are stored. Underneath that is the general Photo Library folder and then all the folders you've synced from your desktop.
* Select an image.
* What you'll see next is how the image you selected will look as wallpaper.
* Thankfully, you can move and adjust the picture as much as you like with your fingers through Apple's multi-touch interface. Use one finger to move an image around. Use two fingers, pinching them together and widening them apart, to shrink and enlarge the picture.
* Once you're satisfied with how the image looks, select Set Wallpaper.
That’s it, you’re all set. The next time you turn your iPhone on, you’ll be greeted by the picture of your choice. Unfortunately, that’s just about the only place you’ll see wallpaper with the iPhone. It doesn’t even appear on the home screen, which remains a dull black no matter what.
And, annoyingly, there doesn't appear to be any easy way to go back to not having wallpaper once you start using it. It seems you have to stop syncing or delete that image from your iPhone. All you can easily do, apparently, is change the wallpaper to another picture.
In addition to your own pictures, there are free wallpaper sites out there that have images you can download already formatted to fit smoothly on the iPhone's 320 x 480 pixel resolution display.buy 3g iphone click here
