Android 2.3

WIFI/ GPS

3.2 MP rear camera




Bluetooth



Stereo FM Radio

Expandable Memory upto 16 gb

It's a little bit thicker than a cricket lighter.

All in all, good enough quality of LCD - Big enough to enjoy looking at pictures.




Speed in performance when using for browsing - almost the same as HTC chacha.

No Front Camera.

Slight lag in taking pictures.

Default qwerty keyboard for texting.

Battery life is a little over a day - with moderate use for bluetooth ( since I use a headset), wifi and data plan.

On the plus side - skype video calling works - able to see video for both parties. (drawback - its either you are seen in the video or you see the one you are talking to, why? camera is at the back of the phone. lol)

Keeping your gadgets connected to the Internet

With all the improvements and advancements in technology today, staying connected to the internet has never been easier.

For people on the go, here are 3 of the most popular ways to keep connected.

1. USB Internet sticks



These type of usb internet sticks function with a gsm simcard. most of those also have the capability to save idata via the microsd ports.

Limitation? It can only be used by 1 person. Unless you know how to share via a laptop or a 3g modem.




 

2. Pocket WIFI devices






Depends on the model, this pocket wifi device can connect  upto 5 devices at the same time. It also works via a gsm simcard.

3. Android phones.

What most people dont seem to realize is that most if not all android phone models out there currently have the ability to be used as a portable hotspot. Meaning your internet connection via your phone plan can be share upto 5 other users.




So, why spend money on buying usb sticks or pocket wifi devices? Just buy an android phone and start sharing!!

Note: Please check with your telco carriers re rates before you start.

How to start your own call center.

How to start your own call center?

First of all, dont get into the call center business if you have never had any experience in the Call Center industry. or dont have anyone that you trust that you can rely on.

So, now you want to start your own center. First, you need to have an account. By account, I mean a campaign or project.

Campaigns are usually classified as 2 types:

1. Inbound

2. Outbound.

It's a lot easier to find outbound campaigns than inbound campaigns. A lot riskier too.

Once you have your campaign, you need your office or center to run the campaign from. You have 2 options to this:

A. Build your center from ground up. Find a suitable office space, rent it. Buy the partitions, tables , computers, chairs , headsets and the various other things that you will need. Apply for the internet connection. ( If you dont know what you need - ask around.)

Setup the office for use.

After that your set to go!

B. Lease you office space requirements.

There are a lot of facilities that offer seat leasing. Basically, it means that you lease the seats ( usually means 1 table/ chair/ pc plus internet connection) from a company that offers those services.

When seat leasing, its very important to keep in mind a couple of things.

1. Noise level in the site ( Too many people doing calls means higher level of noise and makes it harder for you and the person you are talking to, to understand each other.

2. Internet bandwidth available.

3. Office location

4. Availability of places to eat. (especially at night)

VOIP Calling Plans

With all the advances in technology nowadays, calling around the world have become very easy and affordable. Here are a couple that we have used extensively in the past.

Skype - offers unlimited calling plans to a lot of countries around the world. It offers unlimited calling to the USA for both landlines and mobile phones.( unlimited in the sense that you do not exceed 10,000 minutes per month or call 50 different numbers per day.)

Skype also offers online numbers which you can subscribe for a fee, so that people from the country you subscribed to can call you back. It even offers numbers per state in the US.




Yahoo Messenger - YM also offers calls to countries, but no unlimited calling plans.


Magicjack - As far as we know - magicjack only has unlimited calls to the US and also includes an online number. Check the fine print with magicjack. As far as we know they already have a limit to the calls you can make. One drawback of the earlier version is that you need to attach the magicjack to a PC.

* Magicjack plus - no need for a PC anymore - just plug in to your router and attach your phone.




GoAutodial - is a voip provider that has 2 options - a public and a private option. Try it now - the public option provides free 120 mins for a test. They also offer A-Z calling options.

 

Windows Antivirus Care VIRUS

Theres a new virus in town and it calls itself Windows Antivirus Care. Be careful. It usually pops up as a screen when you're using mozilla or IE and scans your computer and scares you with fake infected items in your PC.

 

It will ask you to download and set it up. Be careful. Once installed, you wont find it in your programs folder to uninstall it. It will also automatically turn off your current anti - virus programs and firewalls and hijack all control of your PC.




 

It will keep on sending pop ups scaring you that your pc is infected with a lot of viruses and ask you the buy the full program online.

 

It will also prevent you from reactivating your antivirus programs along with your firewall.

It seems that its a very new kind of virus as when I searched the internet, most of the blogs on how to remove it was just a couple of hours old. Another thing is that most of the blogs will tell you how to remove it by downloading various kinds of programs to remove it.




Well, I'm no techie, but all I did was restore my pc to an earlier point ant everything was fixed. (though, I'm not a 100% sure about it, but so far everything works again, including my firewall and antivirus programs.)

Turn your PC into a wireless router.

Always on the go? Always working on your laptop outside the office? Ever needed to share your laptop's internet to your phone,ipad, or other devices and forgot to bring the cords?




Yesterday, a techie friend of mine  recommended to me a free software developed open source that could help solve your problems. Its called VIRTUAL ROUTER. And it turns your standard laptop to a router and lets other wifi users connect to the internet via your connection.

Security concerns? No worries. The virtual router includes the standard security like password protection for your Virtual Router connection.




The software was developed by Chris Pietschmann - Chris is a Microsoft MVP on the Windows Live Platform, a Co-Founder of Carto LLC.

Virtual router can be used with any Windows 7 or Windows 2008 R2 Computer.

So it's time to say goodbye to your wireless routers and hello Virtual Router!
