MegaFon-Moscow, the rate of "Mobile": The original novelty, or an adequate answer?

MegaFon-Moscow has always been known for interesting tariff decisions, each of which was a challenge to other operators. The new TA "Mobile" evokes a feeling of deja vu: on the one hand, clearly seen the desire to beat the phenomenon of well-deserved popularity of the famous O 'Lite, on the other - the operator tacitly recognize the "utility" strategy of short-term stock and accept the rules of competitors. Just want to get acquainted with the new tariff proposal MegaFon-Moscow can skip two paragraphs below and go directly to the description of the actual fare.

For the first time about this accessory, I read on one site, at the same time and felt an urge to buy it and try a case. Moreover, this desire has been justified not only the beauty of things, but also an issue. The fact is that with the help of his 3G, I check the mail. No, rather not say - there is an automatic check of the three mailboxes, one of which is connected to MobileMe. Also, I read a lot. And listening to music. And play games. As a result, forced to admit the sad fact: sometimes a fully charged phone is already in the evening complaining about twenty percent of the charge. More than once happened that morning had to rearrange SIM cards in more than a loaded machine - remember to periodically plug the iPhone in the cradle. In general, Mophi Juice Pack was supposed to save the situation. Especially, I am extremely attracted by the opportunity to solve two problems at once: and to increase working time, and get a pretty nice case. Both problems were not resolved.

His first company Koss headphones I bought many years ago for Palm T5, it was a good PDA with a strong body, high-quality display, well, very pleased with the presence of conventional connector 3,5 mm. Together with the program Pocket Music and Kossovskii "earphones was able to get enough high-quality and interesting sound. I can not remember how they were called, but I can point the finger at their reincarnation - headset Koss iSpark, in photographs it easily recognizable on the back, looks like it is on the tube, whether at pharmacies earplugs. So, those headphones for quite some time have served me. Exactly up to that time, until I bought Motorola MPx 200 (many still remember that wonderful sale in Euroset, as this smartphone could take less than five thousand). Well, behold, I looked at Motorola, looked at the headphones, and then, armed with a soldering iron, decided to unite them. And he made the headset. It was cool, I tell you. The sound was such a quality - some bass. The microphone worked, but the answer key is not furychila. But the design was done independently. The whole week I walked in and was proud of his ingenuity, and then changed to something more needs and MPx200, and self-made headset, and imported from the United States cradle for the device. I say there was a full set, just peak. Well, here, for sim my relationship with the company Koss ended. And resumed a couple of years ago when it was bought by multimedia headset - large closed headphones with a microphone. And I played in them, and podcasts are not just recorded, and "Skype" said. And then randomly put them in a package that was supposed to pick up the courier and all, look-fistula.

The rest - blestyashka. Although it is convenient. Year after year, I look at what is happening with headsets Samsung, and from year to year, watching the same picture: the ruler is not glued. Deal with it insofar as, at times engaged with the left foot. It seems that you ought to do something to keep in the portfolio, so we tried. In the new year the same situation might get even a couple of companies, only a Nokia with aksessuarikoy all is well (that's me about the formation of lines). What can I say? In principle, we must also have your bread-party companies, which sometimes do the work phone manufacturers and users are presented with blankets, headsets and so on. You know yourself, a holy place is never empty. Does not deliver to us SE original wired headset - it means to do so "original" product was. Perehodnichki, batteries, cables, chargers - millions of dollars that could make the manufacturer of the big four. But here's a sort of Bermuda Triangle. Aksessuarschikov need a team, we need salespeople, marketers and so on, this whole area of ​​activity is as strong as the telephone. In reading the line of Samsung in the 2009th year of dismal impression - in terms of price and quality products can be curious. But there's nothing really attractive, funny, hits. No Jabra BT3030 or JX-10. And I want to believe that at least SBH-650 did come to our counters and will be worth the amount claimed.

Overview Headset Samsung WEP-490 (Corby)

Package Contents: Headset Charger Documentation How to deal with the promotion of Bluetooth-headset? There are many different ways. Someone puts serious money into marketing, someone - the motivation of retail, someone believes that it is itself goes, so now it has itself going nowhere. With the sale of Bluetooth-accessories are all very difficult. Bunch of nuances. Topic for another article, but just write it should be on the order of a company that decided to spend the money to support their products. In addition, there are all new and emerging trends in this small world of the accessory. For example, here's what came up in the company of Samsung. Advertising of certain series of phones being spent enormous funds, one of the most recent examples - Samsung Corby. So why not take the fame and do not submit the same name supplement or even line of add-ons? Approach is robust, correct, can kill several birds with one stone. As practice shows, even the first attempt, called WEP-490 did not come out lumpy, but quite comfortable feel in retail. At the end of the year to take stock of accessories, I wrote about this trend suddenly arose and he was right - the company will continue and develop it. It was logical for Corby produce low-cost Bluetooth-headset. Perhaps we should make the wired headphones bright colors, a series of covers, as of cloth, and silicone. But! You can in fact prolong the experience and develop a series of accessories under the brand WiTu, including a line of more expensive things. Although, I suppose, is better to start the experiment with Corby, this is an interesting experience, and it should learn from other companies, particularly Nokia. The Finns so many accessories that was not what I am, features a leg break. It's time to make the group of goods under the line of phones, giving them names and facilitate consumer life. Especially since it all falls under advertising - might well have been under cover with the X6 has released several "special" musical additions.

Nevertheless, their appearance is logical and justifiable, technological leadership need to emphasize in any way, just that, and sometimes due to enter into a certain line of goods is clearly not for a mass audience. By the way, if we talk about more mundane things, then next year we'll see a lot of useful and necessary items, from different styluses and seat covers, ending with remote controls for some devices, mounts and so on. And of course, there will be sets in large numbers, including one interesting musical model, which resembles one of the latest car stereo from the SE (the inquisitive reader will immediately understand what light and air it).

Review of Bluetooth-headset Samsung WEP430

Package Contents: Headset Charger User One need only ponder the phrase "headset for active pastime, the mind immediately goes for the mind. Well, no, I can still somehow understand people who are in the fitness club are not part with wearing ear gadgets - a business there, all the cases. But these people I meet are not very many, so players are listening. A phone or lie somewhere nearby, or are buried in the locker room turned off. If we talk about hiking, then the last thing I would take with them - it is just the headset is. And in the mountains, I would not buy it. And here it is possible to speculate about secure phones - the audience, which needs these things are very small. Honestly, I've only seen one such person is fairly well-known sports photographer, his life is dangerous, difficult, and the same applies to the wearable technology. I can understand why he has a collection of protected Siemens in various states of corruption, although in recent years, it is firmly hooked on the Nokia 5500, I think it is now wise up about buying SE C702. In general, what I'm saying? By what right did just sports headset will not attract a large audience, an attempt to ride a dead horse. In addition, if we talk about our country, there still could be involved the audience's attention with all sorts of sports activities (there is a project with Samsung and Adidas, will be protected and vehicles), coupled with the phones, but in my opinion a peasant, Samsung WEP430 has turned out pretty strange.

Niche tariff plans seldom "work out" precisely because of the limited audience. Demand for such proposals is relatively small, and even the most modest advertising campaign itself does not pay. And without consumer advertising, even on the most remarkable properties of the new proposal does not recognize, ie, the tariff is deliberately "stillborn." However, there are exceptions to the rule.
