The LG VX3450 has a so-said good looking curvy design, but I’d rather say it’s extremely ugly. Also, it doesn’t have much customization options or features, being a basic phone. But at least it does what it’s supposed to do, make and receive phone calls, having an excellent call sound quality.Nowadays, basic phones like this one are rarely met, so it may have success for simple phone users that aren’t looking further to listen to music, surf the internet, chat or do other advanced things with it.

It’s price, size and weight makes it a very affordable small phone, at only 3.4×1.9×1.0 inches and 3.3 ounces weight, priced at $19,99. It has an external monochrome display with a blue filter and, that displays the battery life, time, date, signal strength and the caller ID.

It’s memory can hold up to 300 contacts with up to nine numbers, email address and memo for each one. We already told you that it’s customization options are very limited, you can’t even change the wallpaper or themes.

The dual bands CDMA 850/1900 AMPS 850 has excellent call quality sound and the signal is very strong, even in underground places, like subways. It’s battery lifetime in standby is of about 7 days and in talk mode is about 2.5 hours. It’s priced at $19,99 with a two year contract at Verizon Wireless.

 

A three in one device has been introduced by OCZ. the OCZ Trifecta is a USB flash card, with 1 or 2GB capacity, but is also a microSD memory card reader and a SD memory card for your cell phone, camera or PMP. The Trifecta has a 66x read rate and comes with a warranty of five years. Unfortunately,availability and price are currently unknown.

 The Gateway FX530XT is a wannabe high-end gaming desktop PC, with dated components. The PC is priced at $3,660 and comes with Windows Vista Home Premium preinstalled. This and the high memory of 4GB makes it look like a good deal, but the graphics card is a big lack and the 3D tests prove it.

It comes with a overclocked quad core CPU, at 3.2Ghz, an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 and 4GB of 667Mhz DDR2 RAM memory. It uses the Intel 975X chipset and supports dual graphic cards using the ATI CrossFire technology. It’s graphics are powered by a Radeon X1950 XTX, paired with the CrossFire card, which scores very low to the 3D tests, ran in last generation games, like Quake 4 or F.E.A.R. There are a lot of PCs that score higher even with only one graphic card, like the GeForce 8800 GTX. Also, it’s graphics card doesn’t even support DirectX 10, while it’s Nvidia competitor does.

Gateway may have success against it’s competitors, if it offered the GeForce 8800 GTX card instead the Radeon X1950 XTX, being cheaper.

What do you do when want to drink an ice tea ? Usually, you get a glass, some ice and the tea, but that’s old school. With the Cool Shooters you put some water in the form and get an ice glass, so you have both glass and ice 2-in-1. Isn’t that a bright invention? And it’s also cheap for 7 bucks.
