Gadgets A Blogger Needz Part 2

Posted by BloggurlNeedzRehab as Blogging Tools

When it comes to tools and gadgets needed to keep a blogger happily typing away, one needs to look no further than the trusty all-in-one cellphone.

Sometimes, we think that we may need all these tools: the Flip Video camera for vlogging, or a decent digicam like the Sony DSC series cams. But little do we realize that one trusty cellphone would be enough for your blogging, and even vlogging needs.

I was praying about what gadgets to target next year, when I would note that my heart is heavy whenever I would try to set a budget for the Flip Video camera. Then I realized, that I actually didnâ€™t need that, because the cellular phone I was targeting (my current phone needs to be replaced) was adequate!

I was just wanting a cellphone that can handle two SIM cards simultaneously open, and I keep being directed to the MyPhone T22. I had been considering buying a Chinese dual-sim phone, the type with a television built-in, but I realized that I may well have warranty issues later. Plus, I keep wondering whether the chemicals these companies use are earth-friendly.

Not that I belittle China or anything, itâ€™s just that I have had several orders for academic papers that include information on Chinaâ€™s business practices. And in my country, there had been several recalls for their products, because of toxic chemicals in these.

I have also read of such cases in the U.S., where China-made toys were recalled. Thus, I wondered if the Chinese phones were safe too.

But back to my salivation. I was praying about getting a Sony DSC digicam AND a Flip Video cam later, but it seemed like every time I wrote it down on my targets, I would feel a certain internal check, an adamant â€œNO,â€ to what I wanted to do. Thus, I decided, NO it is.

Then it turns out, the Flip Video has this key spec I was looking for:

640 x 480 resolution

While the MyPhone T22 has these specs:

Network: GPRS/GSM 900/1800
Camera: 2.0 Megapixels CMOS
Display: 240 x 320 pixels, 2.8″, 262K colors TFT
Connectivity: Bluetooth 1.2 with A2DP, USB
Memory: 2MB Built-in User Memory
Expansion: Micro SD/T-flash memory card slot
Device Control: Touch screen and Alphanumeric keypad
Messaging: SMS, EMS, MMS, E-mail
GPRS: Class 12, WAP 2.0 browser
Sound: 2 stereo speakers, 3D-surround effect
Multimedia: MP3/MP4 player/Video Recorder
Battery: 1000 mAh
Dimensions: 112 x 50 x 15 mm
Weight: 117g

Standby time: 80 – 150 hrs.
Talk time: 150 – 240 mins.

Available in White

Not bad, eh?

There are only two things I need in a cam, anyway: clear, crisp pictures, and decent video. :p

With the added bonus of being able to house two SIM cards and then the fact that it wonâ€™t add to the heaviness in my bag, I think, this may well be my favorite object of salivation this season!

Postscript:

After I researched the MyPhone, I found this review of it, and I was disappointed at the comments of the fact that the megapixels in the cam were just extrapolated whatevers (I got lost in the jargon :p ), and so I think a Sony Digicam would suffice for all my video needs. So much for the MyPhone. NOW I’ll need to look for a better, cheaper Dual Sim phone! (We have crazy cellphone networks in my country.)
