FREE Motorola V360 Phone (T-Mobile) with FREE shipping, plus get $100 back too! Posted Thursday, April 27, 2006 by David
Download your tunes and take them with you. Create playlists and save them on optional removable memory cards. Click it with a 4x zoom camera. When stills won't say it all, record live video clips with sound and save, play and send to friends. Talk and walk with a light-as-air wireless headset and sync your Bluetooth® compatible phone and computer without wires -- Bluetooth® technology makes it possible.
The wildly popular V330 is a tough act to follow, but the latest kid on the block, the Motorola V360 Phone (T-Mobile), is a worthy successor, packed with features that make it the perfect complement to T-Mobile service. The V360 is smaller and lighter than the V330, plus it features a memory card slot for storing and playing music via an included music player application. You'll also get an internal antenna on this model, as well as a larger external screen-- two nice touches. Like the V330, this model also has Bluetooth, tri-band GSM compatibility, high-speed EDGE data, and a VGA camera with video capture.
The Motorola V360 Phone (T-Mobile) features a sleek clamshell design with a large, high-resolution 176 x 220 pixel, 262,000-color screen. The outside cover of the handset sports a supplementary 96 x 80 monochrome display that can display time, call information, battery and signal strength, and more. Up and down buttons for volume control are placed on the left side. Most of the phone's features and onscreen menus are controlled by a five-way center button on the handset's control pad. A USB-capable data port is housed on the unit's right side, and there's a standard jack to accept universal hands-free headsets (as well as a stereo headset for music listening). A microSD/TransFlash memory card slot is provided for data and music storage.
The Motorola V360 Phone (T-Mobile) supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. You can also assign pictures and ringers to your most common callers. A number of ringtones come preloaded on the phone, and more ringtones can be downloaded from T-Mobile's t-zones service. There's even an included application, MotoMixer, that enables you to mix your own ringtones.
Speed dialing, which allows you to call preprogrammed numbers with one button, is built in, as is a vibrating alert. A speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the phone to your ear. Meanwhile, voice-activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names. The V360's phone book can hold up to 1,000 contacts; if you have that many friends and colleagues, more power to ya! Lastly, the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.
The Motorola V360 Phone (T-Mobile) has all the bases covered when it comes to messaging and Internet connectivity. The phone features support for instant messaging (T-Mobile messaging charges apply), and there's also a built-in Web browser for t-zones downloads and mobile Web browsing. T-Mobile's t-zones service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. And with support for EDGE data speeds, the Motorola V360 Phone (T-Mobile) makes the mobile Internet experience fast and enjoyable.
The Motorola V360 Phone (T-Mobile) comes with a built-in e-mail client (with support for POP3, SMTP and IMAP4 e-mail standards) and traditional text messaging, and video, picture, and sound messaging are also supported. iTap text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile e-mail and text messaging users.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the Motorola V360 Phone (T-Mobile), including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, and an alarm clock. You can also use the phone's Bluetooth capability to set up a wireless link with a Bluetooth accessory or to connect to a computer or hand-held device to exchange and synchronize data. The phone supports the SyncML PC synchronization standard, which can be used with Motorola's Mobile Phone Tools PC application to manage and synchronize contacts, calendar, and other data with your PC.
With 5 MB of internal memory storage and a memory expansion slot, the Motorola V360 Phone (T-Mobile) shines in the entertainment department. The phone's VGA (640 x 480) camera features a 4x digital zoom, image quality options, and an auto-timer so you can be in your pictures, too. Capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or e-mail or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. The V360 adds video capability, too, meaning you can capture short video clips and, just like photos, share them how you see fit. The phone also supports custom graphics for wallpapers so you can dress up the phone to suit your fancy.
The big news with the Motorola V360 Phone (T-Mobile), though, is the built-in MP3 music player, which can queue up your favorite tracks from a memory card. Jam out to your tunes while you're on the go. And if you're into mobile gaming, the V360 has you covered. The phone ships with several games, and more are available via the t-zones service.

Save 26% on Kid Rock's Cocky (Expicit Lyrics) CD Posted Wednesday, April 26, 2006 by David
Detroit-bred rocker/rapper Kid Rock has reason to be "Cocky," as 1998's multiplatinum Devil Without a Cause established the multifaceted artist with the Southern rock influences as a generally likable braggart able to back up his boasts musically. Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker backup band also spawned a successful solo career for DJ Uncle Kracker, who wrote songs for--but whose turntables aren't on--Cocky. With a little help from fab friends, including actor David Spade, and musicians Sheryl Crow and Snoop Dogg, Cocky covers a mélange of styles, from rap to country, utilizing organ, pedal steel, and harp as well as metallic guitar solos. Ultimately, though, the 14 songs are schizophrenic and not always successful: on "Lonely Road of Faith," Kid Rock turns in a anthemic ballad nearly worthy of Lynyrd Skynrd, whose "Freebird" he samples in the laid-back R&B-flavored "You Never Met a Motherf**ker Quite Like Me," while Crow's vocals on the gentle, country tune "Picture" and the plodding "Midnight Train to Memphis" contrast with the metallic riffs of "I'm a Dog," the nasty "sex rhymes" of "WCSR," and the rapped boasts of the narcissistic title track. Cocky? Indeed. Commendable? Dubious. -- Katherine Turman (Amazon.com)

Save 26% on Kid Rock's Devil Without A Cause (Explicit Lyrics) CD Posted Wednesday, April 26, 2006 by David
It's fitting that the Kid Rock revival got started when the Beastie Boys featured him in their Grand Royal magazine--and not because the kid from Detroit shares their skin tone. Rock has often been compared with the early Beasties--the boys of "Fight for Your Right to Party" and "Brass Monkey," the boys no one ever thought would grow up. With lines like "I ain't straight outta Compton, I'm straight out the trailer" and "I started an escort service--for all the right reasons," it's obvious that Kid Rock doesn't aim to follow suit. But that's no hindrance to Devil Without A Cause--backed by the funky metal band Twisted Brown Trucker and special guests like blues vets Robert Bradley and Thronetta Davis, Rock is hosting one hell of an interesting party. Ultimately, Rock's party is great, schlocky fun, equal parts old Beasties and Sebastian Bach--making Devil Without A Cause a guilty pleasure, the Starship Troopers of hip-hop. -- Randy Silver (Amazon.com)

FREE Motorola RAZR V3c Pink Phone (Verizon Wireless) Posted Monday, April 24, 2006 by David
While Motorola's RAZR V3 was tearing up the marketplace world-wide, people on Verizon's network were left asking "What about us?". Then we saw a CDMA RAZR show up in Korea, and Verizon users felt hope, and eventually were offered the RAZR V3c. But then the magenta colored Motorola RAZR V3c Pink Phone (Verizon Wireless) hit the shelves in T-Mobile stores, and once again Verizon customers were left wanting for more.
And now they have it, in the form of the pink Motorola RAZR V3c. Functionally the same as the gray V3c, the new version has a pink color that is, well, more "pink" than the model offered by T-Mobile. In fact, it is really quite attractive, even to my decidedly male brain.
The Motorola RAZR V3c Pink Phone (Verizon Wireless) has 30MB of internal storage and a run-of-the-mill 1.3 megapixel camera that takes photos that are just "ok", but not great. That megapixel camera, different from the one in the new V3i, is the reason for the small bulge in the shape of the RAZR V3c near the hinge. This brings the total handset thickness to 5/8ths of an inch (about 16mm). The weight still comes in at 3.4oz (97g), or about the same as the original V3.
The V3c's internal antenna does a good job of finding and holding onto a signal - at least as well as Motorola's own V710 did with its extendable whip antenna. Audio quality is pretty good for a Verizon phone, and the battery life was about average for an EV-DO 3G handset, at 3.25 hours of continuous talk time. That EV-DO capability means that the Motorola RAZR V3c Pink Phone (Verizon Wireless) is compatible with Verizon's V CAST video service, which offers video clips from the likes of CNN and MTV, as well as a host of others. Bluetooth support is also on board, but only for headset use. You can not use it to send and receive photos, for example, though photos can be sent via email or uploaded to the Verizon PixPlace website. Verizon has promised that it will start to allow its EV-DO handset subscribers to use their phones as EV-DO modems, but you will need an extended data plan (not just V CAST) in order to do so.
Like most all new Verizon phones, the Motorola RAZR V3c Pink Phone (Verizon Wireless) uses Verizon's standard user interface. This means that the menu system on the V3c is almost the exact same as the one found on LG's VX8000 and VX8100 phones, or Samsung's SCH-a950. While I'm not a fan of the system, it is reasonable to use and will make the V3c an easy upgrade for most people already using a Verizon handset.
Other points of interest include a nice speakerphone and a very good speaker independent voice command system. The system allows you to call a particular phone number for one of your contacts just by speaking a single command to the phone. For example, you just press the voice dial button and say "call john doe home" or "call john doe mobile" to start the call. You can also use the same system to start a text message, digit dial (eg. 215-555-1212), or lookup a contact record ("lookup john doe"). The system works over the speakerphone or with a Bluetooth headset, as well.
Overall, the Motorola RAZR V3c Pink Phone (Verizon Wireless) is a very capable and easy to love phone. It has striking good looks and design, and a rock solid feature set that includes 3G data, Bluetooth, and a large 262k color display. While you might want more battery life and a better quality camera, the RAZR V3c is still likely to make you happy - and get you noticed.

51% OFF - $670.03 off of the Harman Kardon AVR 635 7.1 Channel Surround Sound Audio/Video Receiver (now $629.96 with FREE shipping) Posted Thursday, April 20, 2006 by David
The Harman Kardon AVR 635 7.1 Channel Surround Sound Audio/Video Receiver includes the company's latest features and technologies on top of near-universal surround-format compatibility. Internally, the receiver is engineered for extraordinary sonic performance, featuring a discrete-output amplifier section that delivers seven channels of high-current (+/- 50 Amps), ultrawide-bandwidth amplification--7 x 75 watts into 8 ohms, 20 to 20,000 Hz with less than 0.07 percent THD--in addition to state-of-the-art 192 kHz/24-bit audio digital-to-analog converters and a high-power Texas Instruments 32-bit DSP processor.
The AVR 635's wealth of cutting-edge technologies also includes quadruple-crossover bass management, automatic digital input polling, video cross-conversion (which converts all composite- and S-video sources to high-resolution component-video), bidirectional RS-232 connectivity with software and firmware upgradeability, A/V sync delay, and a slot-mounted tuner that may be upgraded at a future date to accommodate HD Radio.
Surround sound features include Dolby Virtual Speaker, Dolby Headphone processing, and Dolby Pro Logic IIx processing (which provides an expansive, full-range 7.1-channel program from any stereo or 5.1-channel source). The receiver handles all other popular formats (including Dolby Digital EX and Dolby Digital 5.1), all standard DTS modes (including 6.1 DTS-ES Discrete, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS Neo:6, Cinema 6.1/5.1, and Music 6.1/5.1), and even the latest DTS 96/24 high-resolution audio technology. In addition, the AVR 635 provides HDCD (High-Definition Compatible Digital) processing to deliver the best possible CD playback quality from HDCD-encoded discs.
You also get Harman's proprietary Logic 7 audio for enhanced multichannel reproduction from both matrix-encoded and 2-channel recordings. The latest implementation of Logic 7 provides improved post-processing for the rear surround channels.
The Harman Kardon AVR 635 7.1 Channel Surround Sound Audio/Video Receiver has many audio and video connections including three wide-bandwidth, assignable HDTV-compatible component-video inputs. The AVR 635 also features multiroom/multisource operation with independent, simultaneous playback of two program sources, assignable back surround amplifier channels, A-BUS connectivity, and a Zone II remote. The A-BUS Ready system simplifies multiroom connectivity without external amplifiers. It uses a standard Cat5/Ethernet cable to connect the receiver's rear panel in one room to a Harman Kardon AB 1 A-BUS-compatible amplifier/control module in a separate room.
Along with its extensive video connectivity, the receiver offers a array of digital and analog audio connections, including multiple coaxial and optical digital audio inputs and outputs. It sports both analog and digital front-panel inputs, 6-/8-channel direct audio inputs, and 7.1-channel preamp outputs to accommodate a DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, SACD, or universal player.
The Harman Kardon AVR 635 7.1 Channel Surround Sound Audio/Video Receiver is also among the first receivers to include EzSet/EQ, which provides automated system calibration and room equalization, which greatly simplifies installation as it improves system performance by tailoring the output of the receiver to your speakers, compensating for the effects of room acoustics.
The receiver's quadruple-crossover bass-management system lets you choose from six different crossover frequencies for the front L/R, center, surround L/R, and surround back L/R speakers. Most receivers and DVD players have far more limited crossover filtering or none at all. Moreover, you can set different speaker-size configurations for different AVR 635 input sources according to your needs.
You get a high-quality FM/AM tuner with 30 station presets and a Listener Preference System that lets you specify a surround mode according to the program source. You can also set speaker-channel levels for each program source and DSP format (for example, the subwoofer level can be set differently for multichannel movie viewing and 2-channel CD music listening).

The headset also has up to 100 hours of standby time, so you're always ready to receive a handsfree call.

Also, the ContrastPLUS 5-color ink system--four dye-based inks and a pigment-based black ink-- produces true-life photos with a wide color palette, along with laser-quality text.
Want to print directly from your PictBridge compatible digital camera or DV camcorder? It does that, too--just connect and print!
