Nokia Lumia 930




The Nokia Lumia 930, while still far from being the # 1 phone on the market, is considered as  one of the  best built Windows phones currently available. 
It runs on the latest version of Windows 8.1 and includes the Clear Black display feature designed to increase the contrast between the Windows app tiles and the background.
In keeping with Nokia tradition, the phone boasts of a  rigid and sturdy design that can survive the rare drop to the floor without any significant damage. The body is made of both a glass front and a polycarbonate backing, separated by an aluminum band.
Though the Windows phone cannot compete with either Apple or Android operating systems when it comes to Apps, continuous improvements are being made in that area.

Bluetooth Headsets



Hey guys, keep your "hands free", talk on the phone without the bother of wires or cords.  Check out the Marque 2 M165 Bluetooth Headset.

Externally purchased cellular phones and local service provider compatibility

You want to get that cell phone that has caught your eye for some time now but you think that the price it is being sold for in Trinidad and Tobago is for want of a better word, "ridiculous".  You check the price of it on the internet and realise that you can get it way cheaper if you purchase externally.  One question though.  Will it work here in Trinidad and Tobago?

In purchasing a Cellular phone outside of Trinidad and Tobago, keep the following in mind

1) Ensure that the phone is UNLOCKED.  Most phones that come as a package with a foreign provider such as Verizon, AT&T or Tmobile are SIM locked to those providers and as such will not work with a TSTT or Digicel SIM card.

2) Phones that work with CDMA technology will not work in Trinidad and Tobago. Choose a phone that is GSM, 3G or 4G compatible

3) Whether you choose Dual band, Tri band or Quad band phones,  bear in mind that the general frequencies used in Trinidad and Tobago are 850 MHz and 1900 MHz
