Saving Companies Thousands. Be One!

Many customers that walk through our doors day in and day out ask for a phone that is tough or rugged. People need the toughness for different reasons; they are in a line of work where the phone could get damaged, they are very hard on their phone, their phone is prone to more clumsiness than others, or they have a small child. I personally think the most dangerous is children.

We are seeing more phone manufacturers listen to this need and make military spec phones. And there are other great companies like Otterbox which has made my Blackberry 8830 “Baby Proof”. Now both options are great for durability and toughness, but I really feel that a 3rd party case like the Otterbox will protect your phone more.

There are great military spec phones that are on the market, or still available to order. One of the phones I recommend the most is the Sanyo 7050. Sanyos are normally known for their durability and great reception, but adding some rubberized casing and covers in choice places, really elevates it beyond most phones. Verizon has the Casio G’Zone phones which are great, and I have known a lot of customers that have had great results with them. Sprint IDEN (Walkie-Talkie) phones are usually know for durability, and the new Sprint “NDC” phones look to follow in their footsteps.

The point is do not be afraid to ask for what you want. Durability and strength does not have to be ugly in phones and Motorola, Samsung, and LG are all starting to make more durable and better looking phones. And if you are like me and NEED a Blackberry the folks at Otterbox have you covered, or visit and of our locations and pick one up.

We try to stay ahead of the game when it comes to cell phone technology. Of course there is a ton of exciting software that comes out, and really cool hardware as well. Who is really trying to be innovative and do something different though? LG  makes great products, but I think they usually try to push the lines and show us what we want without us having to ask for it.

They have recently come out with the Chocolate which has been a great phone for Verizon, their Fusic and Muziq for Sprint (which have an FM transmitter), and now they have the LG Decoy. What makes the Decoy different is that it has a bluetooth built in. It is not a bluetooth that comes in the same box, it is attached to the back of the phone. What makes it so cool is its simplicity. The phone is a great looking slider and the Bluetooth is a very simple looking nice Bluetooth.

So carriers are helping us with all in one solutions. Many carriers are giving us more memory for our phones with SD cards. Some companies give bundle packs to include a case and a charger. LG is doing something great by giving us a solution for a bluetooth and a phone. With state laws changing in many states requiring a hands free device, LG put together an awesome piece of equipment as an answer to that.
