New Trent Easypak 7000mAh Portable Triple Deals

I spent a lot of time researching different battery backups, and I've owned several, so I know the pros and cons of these things and this one is the best value and has the best features. First of all, it has a ton of power and is quick to charge. But probably the best features are the ones you don't think about. It can be charged with your computer instead of a wall outlet, in case you're low on plug adapters/converters (or just wall outlets!) It can also be charged with your iphone a/c adapter, so you only have to travel with one of those. It comes with adapters for other devices besides the iphone, so it can charge all your gadgets. It has lights on it that tell you how much power is left, which is helpful. The versatility of this device is what makes it uniquely superior to others on the market. A lot of thought went into the design of this product, and you won't be disappointed!

EDIT (10/14/2011): When reading this review, please note that when I got this product, it was called ACD66 and its capacity was rated at 6600 mAh. Since then, this product's name has been changed to IMP70D and its capacity re-rated at 7000 mAh.

EDIT (10/22/2011): I tested the 2.1A output on an iPad 2, and the IMP70D is indeed able to charge an iPad. The iPad was charged from 42% capacity to 69% in 90 minutes while being lightly used.

Original review:
I own both the IMP50D and this update to the IMP50D, the ACD66. Overall, the ACD66 is a very solid portable charging solution for electronic devices that can be charged from a USB port. Its 6600 mAh capacity and two USB charging ports (1.0 A and 2.1 A) can charge multiple devices multiple times over multiple days before needing to be recharged. If you need a lightweight portable charging solution, you will be satisfied with either one of these devices. I list a few difference between the two below, and if you are thinking about getting the IMP50D, take a look at my review of it for a few things you should take into account when using it. If you are not satisfied with whatever you get or if you think something is wrong with it, contact their customer support--they are VERY responsive and helpful.

I bought the IMP70D battery pack right before a long trip after quite a bit of research and after a brief experience with a friend's IMP99D, which saved the day. I chose the IMP70D because of its flatter and cleaner form factor despite the slightly lower battery capacity. It does exactly as promised, reliably charging all manner of devices from iPhones to iPads (simultaneously) and of course non-Apple products as well. Included in the package is a relatively short pigtail cord with standard USB on one end and mini/micro USB adapters on the other. Be aware that a wall transformer is not included in the package -- your existing Apple mini-cube transformer or other USB power source will do the trick. One feature this newer model has that the older ones apparently do not have is a smart sensing (power saving) capability which turns off the battery pack once your device is fully charged. Interestingly, the IMP70D does not get hot when charging (or discharging), likely a sign of good power and thermal regulation, which should lead to a longer service life. Some of the previous generation battery packs had cooling vents but this one appears to not need them. Overall a solid product that will keep you mobile.

LG Spectrum VS920 (Verizon) Smartphone Deals

By Al Mankowski "Al" (North Carolina) - 

This review is from: LG Spectrum VS920 (Verizon) Smartphone - No Contract. (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I bought this phone to replace my wife's Verizon contract phone which died one month after expiration of the warranty, which is eleven months before the end of the contract period. The price through Amazon was half of what Verizon wanted to replace the phone. Overall, the Spectrum is a nice smartphone. The size is a good balance of good viewing vs compactness. The display is crisp and I have not had any problems running any Android apps. The only issues that I have with the phone is sometimes the menu is a little obtuse and the premature demise of the Spectrum phone which prompted this purchase. However, the predecessor phone was not truly dead; it just had "issues". And my Spectrum, purchased at the same time as my wife's Spectrum contract phone is still running.

Why the LG Spectrum?
- Well, for the price there really isn't much better of a phone in my opinion. I've gone through probably 15 in the past two years because I'm irresponsible, however, after trying others, this is the one I always come back to. It's 4G, snappy interface, takes a very good quality picture, and can use almost all current apps on Google Play.

Pros:
- 4G - For the price of this phone, 4G is worth it all by itself.
- Camera - Love it! Takes better pictures than my girlfriends iPhone, especially in low light
- Interface - I think it comes with Jelly Bean, I think. Don't quote me on the but the interface itself is still great. One thing I LOVE which I think goes unnoticed a lot is how easy it is to delete apps. My older Droid Incredible require me to go into settings, manage apps, etc. This phone however allows me to delete them right from the app selection menu.
- Screen - It's big and beautiful. Looks great whether in the brightest sun or darkest room.
- Durable - My phones hit the ground a lot, and this one has never seemed to care. Literally, the worst I've done to this thing is make little micro scratches that show up on pretty much all devices after regular use.

Cons:
- Battery life - If you're getting this phone, get an extended battery. It will last about 3-4 hours if you don't and is very annoying. However, with the extended battery it will last all day. Yes, this will make it bulkier, but the phones already big so oh well.
- Size - While the screen is beautiful, the phone itself is just to big. When using one hand it's hard to function due to the large screen size. My short little fingers don't fit all the way across the screen :(

CONCLUSION:
- If you're looking for a cheap 4G Verizon cell phone than the LG Spectrum is the one for you. While it is large in size, the bigger screen makes watching videos ten times better. Also, the camera, interface, and durability are outstanding.

Do not order this phone if u don't want a contract. If u call Verizon Wireless they will advise u that none of their 4G phones can be activated without a contact. Ordered and had to send it back but got a refund minus 15%.

LOVE MY LUCID SMART MUCH EASIER TO LEARN TO OPERATED AND I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED LG PHONES THE FIRST ONE I HAD LASTED 4 YEARS AND ONLY REASON I GOT RID OF IT IS I UPGRADED FOR A MORE ADVANCED ONE

By Michael J. Selden (Salem, MA USA) -
This review is from: LG Lucid VS840 4G LTE Verizon Android Smart Phone (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Bought it because it was cheap, I have encountered nothing but problems upon using this phone. The keyboard crashes multiple times a day and it just freezes constantly. I literally can't even use it and am frantically scrambling to buy another phone on the cheap because I can't deal with too much more of this. By far the worst piece of technology I have ever owned. The battery life is miserable so I bought the extended battery which is massive. Sometimes it calls random people and then when I touch the screen to hit "end" it turns the screen off. If I remove my finger the screen then turns back on. The only way to remedy this is to take out the battery, restart the phone, and apologize to the person I accidentally called. Avoid at all costs, I can't even believe that this thing costs money it is so unbelievably awful.

LG T375-BLK Cookie Smart Dual Sim Deals

By Jeffrey A "Jeff" (FL) -
This review is from: LG T375-BLK Cookie Smart Dual Sim Unlocked Phone with 3.2-Inch Touchscreen and 240 x 380 Pixels Screen Resolution - No Warranty - Black (Wireless Phone Accessory)
The LG T375 is a dual SIM phone with a 3.2-inch capacitive LCD color display, 2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM radio and multimedia player.

This phone has an easy to grip style - with rounded edges and measuring 4.06 x 2.32 inches and just 0.42 inches thick, it fits perfectly in my hand.

WHY BUY A DUAL SIM PHONE?

You can operate two phone numbers on one handset - from the same service provider or different service providers.
By putting both SIM cards in the LG T375 handset, it's like having two phones in one. (REMEMBER: Both your SIM cards can be on the same network/service provider or on two different networks)

The LG T375 allows me to switch networks flawlessly without having to switch my SIM card - and with two different numbers it's easy to keep work and personal calls separated ON ONE HANDSET!

PROS:

The LG T375 has 50 MB internal storage and a micro SD card slot (up to 16 GB)

Capacitive multitouch screen is very responsive

128 MB ROM and 64 MB RAM is more than adequate for basic phone functions

The phones offer GSM/EDGE connectivity along with Wi-Fi. You also get Facebook and Twitter integration (I haven't used these social media features though)

According to the Users' Manual, the standard 950mAh Li-Ion battery allows up to 528 hours of Stand-by and up to 14 h 40 min of Stand by time. With normal use, I usually charge my phone every 3 days.

Like most phones, you need the headphones Stereo to operate the FM radio but the LG T375 allows FM recording. I use this feature to make personalized ringtones :))

Pairing devices using the LG T375 Bluetooth is easy. So far I have used the Bluetooth to pair the LG T375 with a Sony VAIO E15 Laptop, a Motorola T325 Bluetooth Portable Car Speaker and a Samsung C3222 Ch@t Dual SIM Phone

CONS:

The LG T375 is a budget phone so, the processor is understandably slow.

The LG T375 connects via EDGE, GPRS - so, slow data means slow Internet browsing.

The screen lacks an ambient light sensor for automatic screen brightness adjustment - it's a bit of a challenge to see the display in bright sunlight.

The screen display is low resolution (240 x 320 pixels) with a pixel density screen of 125ppi. This is only noticeable if I am doing a lot of Internet browsing.

The camera is just 2.0 MP and it lacks autofocus and also no flash. These is fine if you use the LG T375 phone camera only as your backup camera.

Although my list of cons seem long, I still give this phone 4 to 4.5 STARS. It's quite a user friendly utilitarian DUAL SIM phone with a very responsive capacitive touch screen - great for calls, texts and managing two phone numbers on one handset.

Hope my review was helpful ... Jeffrey A. (Jeff)

The phone is great for the price however when I received it the charger was European....must of missed that in the description!
The touch is very sensitive so be careful when scrolling for a number early morning or you will end up calling your boss like I did.
I love the concept of the dual sim since I have a business but there is a hold button at the bottom of the touch and my chin keeps hitting it while I talk....have not found a way to disable it. The other con is when you receive a phone call if you do not answer on the first or second ring the touch screen almost shuts down and you cannot answer it....might be just operator error?
overall despite the cons it is a decent phone for the price....have not used the dual sim yet so cannot comment on that.

Got for my husband who has large fingers and just needed a phone he can dial-he doesn't email or text so the phone is good for him. Right size for his hand and works on our carrier. It is 2G so we can't get the internet up and running on our network, but he will never use it anyway. It is easy to use and that's a plus-video, phone, voice record and texting all simple. This is a good first "smartphone" if internet is not your biggest priority.

Lg P999 Optimus G2x with Google Unlocked Deals

By JAE -
This review is from: Lg P999 Optimus G2x with Google Unlocked Android Smartphone with Dual Core, Hd Gaming and 3d Graphics (Wireless Phone Accessory)
SUPER PHONE OF SUPER PHONES! Why only 3 stars? Well, there are plenty of functionality issues. It took me a few hours to read around and get the phone to function as it should have out the box. To break it down, I will list the problem and tell you what I had to do to fix it. 1. Android 2.2 was horrible - Upgraded to 2.3 through LG Mobile Support Tool on LG website 2. Wifi would not connect at all - Downloaded FXR WiFi fix and rescue App, 3. GPS did not find any satellites - Downloaded GpsFix(paid version)App, free version has invasive adds. 4. Since I use Simple Mobile the APN would jump back to T-Mobile settings - Downloaded APN Manager to delete T-Mobile APN.

The first and last ones are on me. Yet, Wifi & GPS is a must for any phone that is supposed to be smart. 5 stars if I didn't have to do anything. 4 would make people think it was a preference issue versus hardware issues. 3 is what I got out of the box, plus had to pay for an app to make it function properly. After all the issues being fixed it is a 4.5 phone.

**BATTERY LIFE IS GARBAGE!** - Downloaded Green Power PREMIUM (Free app is too limited to see results), took me two days to adjust it perfectly. Went from requiring to be plugged in ever 4+ hours to 8+ Hours with normal activity.

I got one of these early in the summer. In its original incarnation, the phone had a lot of software and hardware issues. The software update that came out in early August was a spectacular improvement. It transformed the phone from an annoyance into something that is really a pleasure to use. T-Mobile took this phone off the market for a while over the summer, and I think the time was spent on tightening up quality issues. I got two new G2Xs in mid-August and both are great phones.

This is certainly a fast phone, with lots of Android modding potential.
The price is right, and it works great on Tmobiles network.

Pros:
Speed - it's just fast. Everything.
Stable - no crashes ( in first week)
Wifi - Wifi N is great.
"4g"- aka HSPA+ - I'm seeing 10,000 kbps download. Yeah, it's stupid fast.
Wifi Calling works well.
Sound and call quality is excellent
Size - Nice and thin....
Screen - nice and bright, works in daylight

Cons:
1.Battery Life- With great speeds comes short battery life-- for the same sort of usage my Nokia Astound would last two or three times as long.
2.GPS - The GPS does not seem to work well with the Stock Tmobile Gingerbread ROM, perhaps either CyanogenMod 7 or the Eaglesblood ROMS will fix that issue, or at least let me play with the settings.
3. Screen is a little too bright... needs one more dimmer setting for using at night!

Note: in theory the GPS and Battery settings are improved with various firmware mods. I'll report what I find here.

Update 5/7/2012 -
There was a firmware update, 21y, to GB 2.3.4 -- this fixes all GPS issues(same quality as iphone/Nokia Astound)!!!, improves Battery, but reduces max speeds on modem - a tradeoff which is well worth it.

Verizon LG Revolution No Contract 4G LTE. Deals

By samantha -
This review is from: Verizon LG Revolution No Contract 4G LTE WiFi Android Smartphone (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I got this phone for christmas and I love it. It is my fist smartphone with data. the screen is huge for great display. when i first got it it was so fast. and after downloading just a few apps it slowed down dramatically. When I try to go to my camera i have to wait and wait for it to get to it. when i want to go into the gallery i will sit and wait for the pics to load and it takes forever. I have to back out of it and go back in. When i search for something on the browser and select the one i want to go to..if i hit the back button it completely exits out of the browser. I have to research all over again. I do like how you can download diff themes for the phone and the sms. it is very "personalize-able". if you stay on the internet or just the phone itself alot the phone will die before the end of the day. I keep a car charger and just automatically plug it up when I get in the car. It has alot of memory and is very easy to use and understand. overall i love it. I just dont like the occasional slowness.

Dear people who are thinking about this phone,

Don't.

This phone randomly restarts in the middle of anything (trying to call someone, looking at your gallery, youtube videos, trying to text, ect.) It lags so hard I want to throw it across the room. Speaking of, the only thing that is good about this phone is that it is built like a nokia and will not die, even though I have tried. I tried to call someone, it lagged for about 20 seconds before restarting, then it took 3 minutes to initialize so I could click on anything, then finally call them. I finished 2 cigarettes before I could get this phone to call. I don't know how I have put up with this phone for this long, but I am willing to shell out a couple hundred for a samsung note II or something. This phone can die in a fire, and I would if it was not good for one thing, sending it in for a $20 discount on a new phone.

save yourself from being admitted to a mental institution, don't get this phone.

If this phone actually WORKED it'd be great. The only thing I don't like about it when it's working is that there is no option to use the power button to end calls.
But it has too many issues. I don't have time to list them all so here are the issues I've had with it JUST TODAY:

This phone lags so much that it's impossible to do much on it. I'm not just talking browsing the internet or running apps...it takes forever to freaking unlock the phone!

It closes out of whatever I'm doing completely randomly.

It will freeze with the screen just solid black & even the power button won't work & I have to take out the battery to fix it. (This really sucks when you're in the middle of leaving an important message & you have to end with "...so, uh...yea...my phone won't let me hang up, sorry. Just ignore the rest of this message." & then wait for the voicemail to disconnect you.) & this happens a TON.

Won't send or receive random texts, but you won't get any notification of the error.

(It's had these problems even when it was brand new & I did a factory reset on the phone just yesterday - nothing helps - I was hoping I just had a glitchy phone & could get a replacement, but after doing some research it seems this is normal.)

LG Optimus L9 P769, 4G (T-Mobile) Deals

By Ryan Sondalle -
This review is from: LG Optimus L9 P769, 4G (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)
I'll leave my original review down below but here is my updated change to a 1 star. LG and T-mobile have released Android 4.1.2 jellybean and it has ruined WiFi. By ruined i mean you will not have the option to use WiFi on this phone, it will not function. Neither LG nor T-mobile give a crap about the issue and they refuse to fix the issue, so until they decide to fix it I would not recommend anyone buy this phone. If they do ever fix it my review below explains how it is alright, but without WiFi this is junk! Thanks for nothing T-mobile and LG.

----
I'm going to start with the negatives because people have an extreme lack of knowledge regarding the negative areas and how they reflect to the phone.
Cons:
1. Camera, it's pretty crappy quality compared to what's out there today, but people forget that this phone is $200 or less with no contract. The phones they compare it to cost $200 with a contract ($600+ phones without a contract). You can't compare a Hyundai to a BMW folks.
2. No apps to SD card. This is annoying, but this is googles fault not LG's. When they developed android 4.0 they stopped letting you move apps. Also this is a budget phone. And 2gb is enough for your basic apps. if you need music you can load that directly to your SD card using your pc, which is really the point behind the SD card.
3. Random features it doesn't offer. This is a Miscelleaneous category basically to address the fact that people constantly come up with random stuff this phone can't do. this is a $200 phone, not a $600 phone. don't get mad that the $600 phone has capabilities that this doesnt. You get what you pay for.

Pros:
1.Battery life. My phone usually runs over 1 full day before charging (with me stopping to charge around 20% of the battery left). My nexus s died after 5 hours of mediocre use.
2.Speed.the phone just processes quickly. on basically everything.
3.Price. This phone is $200 without a contract. My old phone was $150 with a 2 year contract i then paid $8 a month for insurance, and when it broke after a year and a half of use (completely on its own, it wouldnt turn on) i had to pay $100 claim form. altogether i paid $394 for a phone that's a piece of junk and could never do what this phone does. The only thing the other phone could do better was take pictures.

Hands down this is the best phone in its price class. It can keep up to the expensive phones, but obviously is not quite as good. But when you say you can get a $200 phone with no contract that does as good of a job as a $600 phone, that's impressive. The savings in the long run alone make this phone worthwhile.

SUMMARY. I have owned the phone since 3/1/13 and it has exceeded my expectations. I paid for 200$ for it and I am not going to expect this phone to have features that 700$ phones have. This is the only phone that is both "Brand Name" and has 4.0 OS.

Link to Manufacturer site. [...]
PROS
-Light, Thin, Large dialing buttons, camera flash (could be life saver)

CONS

-Camera is okay at best. Once you learn to click and tell the camera what you want to focus on, the pictures improve.
-Physical (click click) HOME button. It is matter of time before dirt / water gets in there.
-LG and Tmobile have loaded it with crap / bloat ware. You can remove some things but not all. The phone is still not slow.

DETAILED FEEDBACK BY DATE. I would like to come back and update this as I learn more but no promises.

3/1/13 - I purchased this phone directly from tmobile's prepaid phone website for 200$. It meets the intial expecations. Large dialing buttons. 4.0 is stable OS and there is hardly anything missing as compared to 4.1.

UPDATE 4/15/13 .. All the initial feedback is still true.
Camera results are much improved once I learnt to be a little patient with it. The voice shutter function is not consistent. This could be a user error.

Few things I learnt.
Press power and home button together to do a quick screen capture.

By V. Verdes "Vio" (Seattle, The Evergreen State) -
This review is from: LG Optimus L9 P769, 4G (T-Mobile) (Wireless Phone)
I will briefly state the negatives and positives of this phone. In fact there are more positives then negatives.
Camera quality is so so. I rarely use it for taking professional photos.
Camcorder is ok. Don't expect clear image in low-light environment. Even the small built-in flash doesn't help. Outside in bright light is a different story. Still not the same quality of a dedicated camcorder.
Internet is fast. Battery...hmm... I think for a screen this size it is adequate.
The proximity sensor is something that I missed on my 2 other smartphones. Even the Galaxy S didn't have it which was very annoying when making phone calls.
Did I mention the customizable quick menu bar? This is nice in the new Cream Sandwich.
The negatives are:
A whole load of bloatware from both LG and T-mobile. Some can be deleted, with rest not so lucky.
The HOME button gets very frustrating when I have to press it 2 or 3 times to wake the phone. I don't know if it's a defect or a random glitch. But enough to cause a headache. The thing is, it doesn't always do it. Just random.
One other downside is the fact that to answer a call one must perform a sliding movement on the screen instead of just tapping the ANSWER button/icon. With time this can get nerve-breaking. On the Galaxy S and many other phones a simple tap on that icon connects the call.
And probably the greatest disadvantage is the sound. I am not saying it's not loud enough, in this regards it's average =ok. But when listening to music the sound feels empty. It does not have the lows and the bass is mediocre.
I put my Sony Ericsson next to the LG L9 and started playing various same songs at the same time to hear the difference. The Ericsson had a full deeper and more pleasant sound and properly balanced. The LG was a disappointment. And I really count on a phone's sound for music as I use the music player more than any other application.
Truly LG hit the hard bottom with its sound quality. Sony and Samsung surpass it in this field.
But going back to my statement. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages so I still love the phone.
