Recently I have been offered a position as a breaking news blogger at UnwiredView.com. I feel this does not conflict with PhoneWisdom, as UV is more about the big phone news of the day while my site focuses more on upcoming phones, phone reviews and Op-Eds.

As a way of thanking the blogger who hired me, I would like to give him some link love each week. Thus I introduce my new weekly feature showing my favorite posts from UV. Since I recently began I have not done too many posts, but I'll start with a few and have more for you next week.

Not everyone likes a complicated phone that can do everything short of cleaning your house. Many cell phone users use their phones only as ways to talk to other people.

Most importantly, even the most basic cell phones can be difficult to understand if you aren't part of the younger generation. For these people, the Pantech Breeze is the newest and best solution for AT&T.

Cnet has rated the Breeze an awesome 7.7 out of 10, which is actually an excellent rating from them. The Breeze gives us large buttons and a display with big fonts. It also provides a standard VGA camera and quad-band capabilities to use around the world.

The Breeze has a lot for an entry-level phone, but the bottom line here is what's important -- that anyone, even those in the younger generation, will find this a pleasant phone if they don't need all the bells and whistles of a fancier phone.

PhoneArena got some personal time with the Sanyo PRO series that will use Sprint's forthcoming QChat service. Two phones are available currently in limited markets and will be available nationwide at the time of QChat's launch. This is the next-gen PTT (Push to Talk) service that will replace the current Direct Connect plans.

What's so great and new about QChat? Once it launches coast to coast June 15, Sprint and Nextel users will be able to connect with each other; it finally fuses iDEN and CDMA technology, thus uniting Sprint and Nextel in a way.




Sprint will begin with the PRO-200 and PRO-700, and then expand later with phones from LG, Samsung and Motorola.

As I work into a new schedule over the next week or two my posting should become more regular. In the meantime, I encourage you to leave comments!
