Friday again and it’s on week until Christmas.  It’s coming to that time of the year where people are starting to call loved ones and spending more time on the phone and it turns out that more people are turning toward cell phone only lives.  That means less people are getting home phone lines and opting for the cell phone as their only phone.

On a recent article on discovery.com they said

…The portion of homes with cell phones but no landlines has grown to 18 percent, led by adults living with unrelated roommates, renters and young people, according to federal figures released Wednesday.

An additional 13 percent of households have landlines but get all or nearly all calls on their cells, the survey showed. Taken together, that means about three in 10 households are essentially reachable only on their wireless phones.

That is not very surprising as more and more people are finding that being always available is very convenient

Another article from Howstuffworks.com explain the reasons for the switch

…People who have made the switch cite several benefits. Wireless communication saves money on local and long-distance phone charges, frees people up from their desks and prevents having to lay new cables. Laymen Global, the New Jersey company, saved $4,600 on its phone bill by forgoing landlines

Now this isn’t saying go out and cancel your home line but it is something to think about.  With more and more people wanting to be always available or less people spending time at the house it is a nice option.  You no longer have to remember phone numbers as you always have your phone book with you.  If you haven’t considered it you can always go to puremobile.com and see what phones are available.

It’s that time of the week again.  Good old Friday, which for many of us means getting to spend time with loved ones and sleeping in.

Well this week we thought we’d give you a list of the top bluetooth headsets

5- Nokia BH-101
4- Motorola H710
3- Anycom Milos-9
2- Aliph Jawbone 2
1- Sony Ericsson HBH-PV703

Like last week this list is by all means not absolute.  We like to thing the above list is a good suggestion for people looking to get a bluetooth.  With bluetooth laws coming into effect all over the place headsets will likely be a big seller and a great stocking stuffer this year.

Don’t forget to be safe on the road this holiday season and if you have any questions about the bluetooth headsets our dedicated staff is here to help

It’s Friday again.  It’s also one week closer to the holidays. This week I thought we’d discuss gift ideas.  Yes, it’s going to definitely involve cell phones.

This week specific will be the top 10 cell phone must haves for the holiday season.

10 – Sony Ericsson W610
09 – Sony Ericsson C905
08 – Blackberry Bold 9000
07 – LG KS360
06 – Nokia 5310Â
05 – Nokia N95 8GB
04 – Motorola V3 Razr
03 – Sony Ericsson W810
02 –  HTC G1 Google Phone
01 – Apple iPhone 16GB

The above list  is only a suggestion but we feel it’s a complete list.  It has many options like the 8MP C905 or the hot G1 from HTC.  There are also a few old fan favorites like the W610 and the W810.  They might not have any majors bells and whistles but they definitely have stood their ground.  There is even the KS360 which is a inexpensive slider phone that was missing from the line up for the longest time.

If you want any advice on which phones to ask for this holiday season don’t hesitate to call, email or chat with one of our representatives.  They are standing by to make those holiday wishes come true.

Hopefull those suggestions give you an idea what else the cell phone can be good for.  We do remind you that using any of our suggestions are at your own risk.  Truthfully cell phones have many practical uses.  If you are looking for a new phone don’t hesitate to go to www.puremobile.com to see what’s available.

This week we will be starting a new topic every Friday we are going to have a posting related to cell phones and their everyday use.  At Puremobile.com we feel that we bombard you with so many cell phone reviews that maybe our customers would like to read something more interesting.

This week being the introductory entry we thought we’d write about celebrities and their cell phones.  In the past the celebs tended to gravitate toward phones that were both functional and made a statement.  At one point many celebrities were using the Sidekick by T-Mobile.  This was a favorite for quiet sometime and actually was a phone that gave many people the option of a full keyboard.  Many of these phones have gone to the wayside but you can still see their influences in phones like the i-Mate Ultimate 9502.  These days many celebs can be seen using more than one phone, but among all the choices there are two favorites and they seem to be the iPhone and Blackberry Curve.

Among the celebrities Miley Cyrus uses the iPhone, which seems to be more popular among the younger celebrities.  Being the kind of phone it is likely drives the younger generation towards the style and more importantly younger people tend be adopt new technology faster.

Paris Hilton in the past has been seen using the sidekick and even had the phone hacked at one point where all the internet had private phone numbers of various celebrities.  These days she’s been seen using the Blackberry Curve with it’s full QWERTY keyboard.  Other celebs that use the curve are Lindsay Lohan and Katherine McPhee among a whole slew of others.  Even Barack Obama uses a Blackberry but may have to give it up on January 20th when he takes office.

Eva Longoria uses the BlackJack II from Samsung.  It’s similar to the curve but slightly larger.  Other notable names that use the BlackJack II are Jon Voight and Kevin Connolly.

Now the real question is what motivates the phone choices.  We guess it’s something that no one other then the real inner circle of each celeb can answer.  Among the reasons are sponsorship/endorsments, usefulness and simply a need to fit in.  The last one being something that both celebrities and us everyday people share.  One celebrity might by a specific phone because all her friends have it then in turn we will get that phone because so and so has it.

In the end why they do what they do no one can really know, but we do all find it fun to delve into someone elses life for a little to see what others are doing.  There is a world of information out their about which cell phones people use and we suggest going out and seeing others use and think.  It gives you an idea of what can be good.  If nothing else you can learn a little something about that celebrity you love to watch.
