the thing i like better about the Gravity is it has a slide out keyboard witch comes in handy but on the other hand the impact has all around better features. more responsive touch screen, better cam and in my opinion looks nicer. it is also larger which makes the phone easier to use. so can someone who has either phone tell me which one they would recommend and why.

p.c can anyone tell me how much characters in texts could the gravity hold?

also it seems to me the impact has better reviews but you never know,
oh i think i should also add in im going with virgin mobile and both phones are the same price. im pretty sure neither requires a data plan either.

i just got a samsung impact five days ago and i’m in love with it. it took me a little while to get used to the touch keyboard as i was constantly pressing the wrong numbers but it didnt take me long to get used to it. it has a very good camera on it. when you text it can hold 160 characters, which i thought was kind of impressing since every other phone i had could only hold 140, and also it give you the oppourtunity to send a text in three parts, 160 characters per part. the inbox holds 300 messages and the outbox holds 200. the outbox will delete the oldest message everytime you send a new one, which i think most phones do that anyway, but with the inbox it lets you know when its full and then give you the option to delete them all or select some to delete.
it took me a couple days to get used to it and figure it out, but now i’m very happy i got this phone and i highly recommend it for you.

Is there a GPS-type app that you can set to alert you when your driving speed goes to high?

July 31st, 2010

So for example, if I’m driving on a freeway with 55mph speed limit, I could set the GPS app to "ding" or something if I go over a certain speed, which I could set to something like 64mph. Just wondering. Also, I would prefer an app for the iPhone, but if there isn’t one for the iPhone I would still like to know if there is one for Android.

Thanks!

I actually had the same question a few days before. while trying to look the answer I ended up getting a free iOS4 from www.iphoneguide.tk!!! the phone is scheduled for delivery in 5 days n I’m loving it!!!

Good luck and have a new phone

How have speed-measuring devices impacted on science?

July 28th, 2010

devices such as speed cameras, police laser guns, speedometers and others. :)

they defined the meter. which is no longer based on a sacred measuring stick, but on a distance that light travels during a certain given interval of time

Garmin GPS – Ways to speed up search for Satellite at a new city?

July 28th, 2010

I have a Garmin Nuvi 265. When I bring it with me on trips to other cities, I notice it takes a LONG time to search for satellite the first time I use it at the new location. Is there any tricks to make it faster?
It’s quite annoying when you hooking it up in the rental car and have to wait for a long time before it can tell you where to go.

There’s no real way to do this. If you make sure you’re parked in an open area so the satellites have a strong signal and the GPS can see them all it helps a bit. But other than that, no.

Is there a hot shoe so you can upgrade to a decent flash some day?

Panasonic Lumix TZ10 Digital Camera Questions -?

July 22nd, 2010

Can you set the Shutter Speed Manually?
Can you set the Aperture Size Manually?
Can you set the Exposure Manually?
Why it says "GPS Positioning Failed"?

Can you set the Shutter Speed Manually?
Yes, you have Shutter Priority mode. You set the Shutter speed, the camera selects an aperture to suit.

Can you set the Aperture Size Manually?
Yes, you have Aperture Priority mode. You set the Aperture, the camera selects a shutter speed.

Can you set the Exposure Manually?
It has full manual settings. You can be in total command.

Why it says "GPS Positioning Failed"?
Is the clock set? GPS won’t work unless it is.
Initial positioning must be outside with a clear view of the sky. If it can’t get a clear signal from at least three satellites, GPS can’t get a lock. Page 84-85 of the manual (link below).

Escort Passport 9500ix Radar Laser Detector (Black)

July 20th, 2010

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001F0RPGG?ie=UTF8&tag=reviewamazon-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001F0RPGG

The Escort Passport 9500ix is an intelligent and effective radar detector. It detect all bands of speed enforcement radar (X, K, Ka, and Ku) from both front and rear, and its programmable GPS-enabled circuitry ensures you won’t be caught off-guard by hidden speed traps or pesky speed cameras. It even eliminates annoying false alarms. The Passport’s GPS system takes advantage of the same satellites used for GPS navigation to pinpoint your exact location and compares it to the detector’s on-board database of red light and speed camera locations. As you approach a potential threat, the detector provides an instant audible and visual alert. Distinct audible, visual, and voice alerts provide a separate warning for each band of radar, as well as laser, and traffic safety warnings. The brilliant blue LED alpha-numeric display is easily read in direct sunlight, and features five selectable levels of brightness for optimum night or evening use.
