Making Your Mobile Phone’s Battery Last Longer
Some bad practices have caused your mobile phone’s battery to lose its efficiency without you even knowing it. Understanding the bad practices and avoiding them will definitely make your battery’s life last longer. One of the most common practices that we have seen is leaving the phone charged for a long time. Even when it was already fully charged, users forget or neglect unplugging it off the power plug, significantly damaging its batteries.
Cleaning the prongs or otherwise called “battery contacts” is a good idea to keep your battery in top condition. Using an eraser or some cotton with alcohol to clean debris in the contacts is a good practice as it helps your battery charge and discharge without any obstructions. While taking care of the batteries is a good thing, taking extra care of the actual mobile phone its self is better.

A Brand New Nokia Mobile Phone Passes FCC Approval
Nokia, the world’s leading mobile phone manufacturer has just released the Nokia E6 and has now been able to obtain passage from the FCC’s hot gates and is now being much anticipated as the new NE6 can be used both in AT&T and T-Mobile’s 3G networks. As expected, the new phone will run on Symbian Operating System and yet the design is very similar to that of RIM’s traditional Blackberry smart phones.
While no comment came from RIM about this move by Nokia, the striking similarity just cannot be taken for granted, especially the overly large QWERTY keypad that indeed appears to be a BB model if viewed at a distance. Only when we take a closer look at it can we distinguish that it’s a Nokia phone. Other feature that is significantly different from RIM’s smart phone is its possible touch screen capability. Some leaked specifications describe a 4-inch capacitive touch screen with VGA (640×480 pixels) resolution, and that is to be seen upon official release.
In the UK, Blackberry users are mostly business people and some are converting to the iPhone; but some are just too keen in using other mobile designs from Nokia, so the NE6 will be expected to have fans of its own. Mobile phone insurance in the UK protects these devices from theft, loss and accidental damages. For as little as £2.49 a month, one can already obtain comprehensive mobile phone insurance and insure their new phone once they buy it when it hits the stores.
