Why A High Quality Auto Sound System Is A Great Investment In Your Automobile

For those people who love music and like to take it with them, there are many systems that you can plug your music right in to. It doesn't matter what kind of mp3 player you may have all of the newer stereos have the plug in for the mp3 connect.

Many of us know that bringing an mp3 player around with you everywhere you go is a lot better then bringing a book full of CDs with you. It is also a good tool because a lot of people only like one or two songs from a CD so now you can just download the certain ones you want directly to your mp3. Having a sound system that you can just plug your mp3 up to is better then having a ton of CDs.

I don't know about you but I am totally fascinated by audio books. You will learn that these books can teach you about your audio that you may have and teach you how to fix them if they may become broken. So if you're going on a trip and somehow your stereo stops working you might be able to fix it using the book you had brought with you. You might also be able to fix something you had wanted to fix for a while.

I typically try to find books that kids like so they are not bored the whole trip. This gets them to start reading and so they are not really worried about the, "are we there yet" part. Great sound systems don't only sound good but they make the music that you are listening to sound a lot better and cleaner. This is not only true when it comes to news or just talk shows but it is also good for everything you might think of when it comes to music.

When you start looking for the perfect sound system for you be sure to look for the one with all the things you want including all the features you may be looking for. You can find systems today that have a built in GPS or DVD player or radios, mp3s anything you can think of can most likely be in a sound system too. Pick the sound system you really want and try and make it last as long as possible and enjoy it for as long as it lasts because you may never find one like it again A premium sound system is something that will stay with your car until it dies or you trade it in but try to make your choice long before you are looking to trade it in. At the same time a system is a good reason to keep the vehicle longer instead of trading it in. I wouldn't even bother installing a premium sound system in a car if I was just going to trade it in so if you are going to be trading your car in and think you may get a better deal because of it having a good sound system think again. The idea is to install a sound system so you will have it to listen to for a long time.

LG Cellular Phone CU500 - A New Breed Of Near Broadband Speed Multi-Media Cellular Phone

The LG Cellular Phone CU500 is Cingular's first venture into the HSDPA network, for high speed connection. A clamshell design in black casing, this cellular phone looks good, fits neatly into your pocket and doesn't weigh you down.

Main Features & Specifications:

  • Height 3.8" x Width 1.95" x Depth 0.76"
  • Weight 3.7 oz
  • Mode: Quadband 850/900/1800/1900 UMTS/HSDPA: 850/1900
  • Display: 65-k color TFT, 176 x 220 pixels
  • Standard battery: Li-ion 1100mAh
  • Talk time: max 5 hours. Standby: max 240 hours
  • Provider: Cingular
  • Camera: 1.3 megapixel
Flipped open, the LG Cellular Phone CU500 has a bright screen, with 65,000 colors on the inside. The keypad is a delight, well spaced with slightly raised keys. The 5-way toggle in the center navigates the menus easily; there are two soft keys and a further two keys dedicated to the camera and music player. It is worth mentioning that the exterior also sports a 65-k color display, with the usual time, date, signal and call information.

The 1.3 megapixel camera has a rotating lens, with the ability to swivel round to take photos or self-portraits. A self timer is included, as is white balance control and editing options, but no flash.

One of the really cool features of the LG Cellular Phone CU500 is the music player. You can transfer various types of music files (Mp3, WMA, AAC) from your PC, using either a USB cable or MicroSD card. The phone also supports Bluetooth to move files directly from your PC. The sound quality from the speakers is excellent, and even better through a stereo headset. You can even impress your friends by using the intuitive MusicID application. Hold your phone next to a radio or CD player and MusicID recognises the song for you!

Even more impressive, the integrated Cingular Video feature streams full length TV episodes at high speed thanks to the 3G technology. On top of that, you get news and sport clips, with super quick buffering.

Reception on the LG Cellular Phone CU500 is usually very good, due to its Quad band status. Great quality of sound on indoor calls, and acceptable when using the phone outdoors. Hooking up with a Bluetooth headset is a simple operation for hands-free use. Talk time averages around three to four hours rather than the over-estimated five.

Now for the bad points. The MicroSD slot is inconveniently located under the battery, ascending ringtones are really annoying, and there is no Email client with the phone.

Overall impression: The LG Cellular Phone CU500 has some very nice features, but also has some rather annoying flaws.

Sim Free Mobile Phones - For the Niche Market

The concept of using sim free mobile phones is the oldest and the most trusted method for the mobile phone users. In this case, you don't need to avail a contract with a service provider. But you buy your desired handset on your own and use it the way you like. The handset can be used in the form of 'pay as you go phone', where you buy a certain talk time from your service provider and then you can use it the way you like. Also you can avail a certain plan from a network provider and use it the way you want to, without any hassle.

You can change the tariff plan according to your own without the need of abiding by the rules and the regulations of the service providers. It is also beneficial for those who have to frequently travel abroad and they need to keep in touch with their home country. So the concept of Sim free mobile phones is still very much prevalent in the modern times.

But there are several disadvantages that are also seen with the usage of Sim free mobile phones. The first being the cost factor, a Sim free mobile phone is generally expensive as the user has to buy it on his own(unlike contract mobile phones where in most cases you get the handset for free). Then, he has to buy a Sim from a particular network which won't fetch him the benefits as free text messages or talk minutes or various discounts that are useful for a customer.

However Sim free mobile phones are best sought by mobile phone connoisseurs, who wish to buy an exclusive handset that isn't available in plenty, so they don't offer any lucrative contract plan with them. For these buyers, style matters more than the cost. So Sim free handsets suit them the best.

Sim free mobile phones have maintained an air of exclusivity about them. You must be very sure of the reason as to why do you want a Sim free phone before buying it. If you find enough reasons to convince you, then you might go for them. Else, other easy and cost effective substitutes for buying handset are available too.
