Uncover those nasty blocked calls on your mobile devices

(image found on abcnews)
A new service is out that will help people unmask those blocked called we all get on our mobile phones. Teltech system gives you "TrapCall", so you will know who is calling on the other end when its blocked or restricted.

"TrapCall not only unmasks blocked or restricted calls, but it is also the only technology that can record incoming calls -- a first in cell phone technology!
For something originally based on military-level counterintelligence technology, it's ridiculously simple: After signing up, TrapCall instructs new users to reprogram their cell phones to send all rejected, missed and unanswered calls to TrapCall's own number. When a blocked or restricted call shows up on a users cell phone, the user just presses the button on the phone that would normally send the call to voicemail. The call then loops through TrapCall's systems where it's unmasked, then sent back to the user's phone, with the caller's number displayed as the Caller ID! All the while the caller hears a normal ring tone, oblivious to the fact that you know exactly who they are.

How else can TrapCall help me?

Sure, TrapCall unmasks blocked calls, and that in itself is awesome, but users visiting TrapCall.com will find that this is only the beginning of TrapCall's extensive list of features. Premium features like recording incoming calls (which has never been possible on cell phones), voicemail transcriptions via email and text message, selective Caller ID blocking, Caller ID name and address, and more are also offered. The best part is that TrapCall offers multiple plans that are sure to suit individual needs. Heck, there's even a free version for those who would like to give it a shot.

Google Android phone 2 coming this summer to Europe

Just announced, the next line of Google phones is coming out.
"European smartphone users can start getting ready for the second phone running Google's Android operating system. The HTC Magic at first will only be available in Europe through Vodaphone.

Unlike the G1 Android phone that U.S. customers have gotten used to, the HTC Magic will operate without a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, instead relying on a 3.2-inch TFT-LCD touch screen with 320 x 480 HVGA resolution. The trackball that G1 users are used to, however, will still remain.

An internal GPS antenna helps ensure that the device is location-aware and connectivity is handled through the usual means. Bluetooth 2.0 with enhanced data rate is build into the HTC Magic, and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g provides a quick and reliable connection to the Web.

A 3.2-megapixel camera without a flash is also standard for the new Google-operated device, although some users may lament the fact that there is no flash to accompany the camera. The HTC Magic supports MP4 and 3GP video types.

A microSD memory card expansion slot enhances the 192 MB of RAM and 512 MB of ROM memory on the Magic.

Like the G1, the HTC Magic comes prepared to support the full range of Google applications, including Google search, Gmail, Google Talk and Google Maps.

I think its great that a new phone is coming out. I just wish they would have kept the slide out keyboard option because i find it easier to use when typing then the screen touch screen on most phones. Who knows maybe this new touch screen keyboard will change my mind.
