Ever Used Cell Phones’ GPS To Not Get Lost? That May Be Outlawed Soon.

Recently, the US Department of Transportation has come out more strongly against people who have used cell phones while driving, now threatening to mandate scramblers so that no one–not even passengers–can use their phones in a car, an effort to prevent the hundreds of thousands of injuries that result from distracted driving every year in the US.

Of course, there are some obvious limitations. GPS (increasingly used by cell phones, rather than separate in car devices) is a great tool if you get lost, need to find a gas station, etc. Further, apps like Pandora have encouraged people to used cell phones as an improved version of the radio. Not to mention, of course, that the mass popularity of cell phones began as a safety measure for emergency situations, and some GPS apps will help you avoid traffic, construction, and other accident-prone situations.

If, in the meantime, you would like to take advantage of all the ways people have developed to used cell phones, Cellular Trendz has great deals, prices, and selection (especially when it comes to unlocked cell phones!). So why not plan a road trip while it’s still legal to used cell phones to enhance your driving experience?

Unlocked Cell Phones: Newer Blackberry Models

Blackberry Storm 2

Refurbished Blackberry cell phones continue to be one of the fastest selling used cell phones brands. Ever popular among unlocked cell phones, they offer a plethora of apps, functions, and high quality performance that gives each model a long life, particularly among used cell phones.

If you’re looking at unlocked cell phones, here are the newer models to make note of:

The Blackberry 8520 Curve combines a touchscreen with a keyboard, for optimum function. Along that same note, it uses an optical mouse rather than the trackball Blackberry has favored for many years. Curve is the most popular selling smart phone in the US, and the Blackberry 8520 works on edge for those who receive that service best. As far as unlocked cell phones go, this is a great choice for people looking for carrier flexibility and who don’t need a top of the line phone.

The Blackberry Storm 2 has been charged a huge success, and has continued it’s popularity into the used cell phones market. A 3.1 mp camera, bluetooth support, and the improved functionality of it’s click-touch screen make it a great unlocked cell phones for gadget lovers.

The Blackberry Bold 9000 comes from a top line of Blackberry phones. Supporting wireless and bluetooth, it also has a 2.0mp camera with 5x zoom. You can also put your itunes music onto Blackberry Bold! And as always with unlocked cell phones, the true techie will appreciate the freedom and ability to mod.

Have You Used Cell Phones In The Bathroom? Soon You’ll Want To For STD Testing.

As STD rates spread among British youth, a chip is being developed which you can either pee or spit on, and is then used with cell phones’ software to diagnose an STD. The tools are meant to ease the anxiety of young people who may be too embarrassed to see a doctor. (More over at The Guardian)

Although the hope is that young people will have used cell phones to prevent the spread of infections, some STDs, like hepatitis, can live in the open air for days, and spreading it to your already germ-infested cell phone or computer might do more harm than good.

Further, although there are other apps that have encouraged people to have used cell phones in the restroom, besides the spread of disease, there’s the risk of dropping it in the toilet, causing grossness and water damage.

It’s best to see a doctor for a sure diagnoses, and hey, if you do destroy your bathroom-used cell phones in the process, you can always see if Cellular Trendz can repair it, or just replace it with their amazing selection of used cell phones.

The refurbished Blackberry 8820 ranks high among unlocked cell phones for its smart price.
  2. The Unlocked Blackberry Storm 9530 has endured an ongoing popularity since its release as it combines the superb functionality of Blackberry (apps, messaging, etc.) with the current popularity of touchscreens.

The Blackberry Curve line of phones have had a great second life on the used cell phones market, whether it’s because they’re available in a multitude of colors, whether because people who have owned them have raved about them, or because, like Apple, Blackberry has created an amazing OS with great apps and functionality, all of their phones, at great prices, sell like crazy.
