Cell-phones these days do it all: calendars, games, calculator, alarms, and more. You can add blood tests to that list as well. Researchers in Sweden have developed a way to give blood tests via cell phone.

Word has been flying around about Casio’s new water and shock proof cell phone. Sure, it’s made for rough outdoorsy types, but with the way I treat phones, I could probably use one too.

Samsung has released a phone with a tiny QWERTY keyboard. For some reason, I’m not that interested. The keyboard is way too small to be useful.

A no frills cell phone has hit the market. The Vodaphone Simply is designed for consumers looking for easy-to-use, simple phone option.

For some reason, I really like this idea.

One of my readers, pointed out that her phone lets you record voice memos. She then sets the voice memo as the ring tone making a custom ring tone.

Cnet editors have picked thier favorite cell-phones. (Thanks Insane Robot)

They seem to favor smart phones, which doesn’t help me that much. Smart phones are too big for me.

Engadget has a couple of write-ups on phones coming out. There’s the Samsung SCH-S310 Beatbox; it plays MP3′s, takes 1.3 megapixel pictures, and has a nifty slide out.

Then, there’s the Samsung MM-A800. It’s described in the article as “The Cellphone That Does Everything Imaginable, at Least Sort Of”.

Engadget is reporting of a new trend where cities tax cell-phones. Yikes, I hope lil’ ol’ Mobile, Alabama doesn’t get any ideas.
