Author: So i guess my mom said for my birthday she will get me a prepaid Verizon Wirreless Cell Phone. She didnt say a definite yes but she said we will see. I was just wondering like what kind of phones can you get? If possible can u just give me the link please? Please i realllly wanna cell phone for my 12th birthday! Thanks!!
Yes, Verizon offers a pre-paid plan — but if your Mom wants the one where you "pay as you go" and you just add as much Money as you want for your minutes — make sure she explains that to them, because they have other plans that they refer to as "pre-paid" plans, but they’re a little different from the "pay as you go" type of plan. You can get a decent phone — w/ a camera — and you will be able to text — it’s not the fanciest phone, but it’s a perfectly good phone.
Here’s a link: It shows the different "pay as you go" plans. The 99 cent one is good — otherwise, a lot of your money just gets eaten up in fees.

We all know the iphone has the best touchscreen. But what are the top 3 Cell Phones with the best touchscreens right behind the iphone?
I’m pretty happy with my Motorola/Verizon Droid. I just read some decent Reviews about it too. And I think they’ve got a 2-for-one sale going on. The touch screen is perfectly responsive. No problems here.
The Nissan Motors Co., Ltd. advances its Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) in Japan to improve pedestrian safety and also lessen traffic accidents. The innovative vehicle-to-infrastructure technology integrated to the system allows a synchronized communication between vehicles and traffic light signals.
Nissan earlier announced that it is moving into the next phase of R&D work on in-car systems. The automaker’s ITS research effort ties in with their environmentally-focused Green Program 2010 and their Carwings telematics service. Aside from decreasing accidents and easing traffic congestion, Nissan’s new advanced traffic system is also designed to enhance on-the-road fuel consumption. Since October 2006, the automaker has been conducting various experiments under its ITS Project in Kanagawa.
The Japanese automaker is also investing in the installation of an advanced traffic signal infrastructure within the site of the Nissan Technical Center in the Kanagawa Prefecture* 1. This will be made to gather real-world vehicle data from several hundred employee cars participating in the project.
Nissan’s ongoing ITS development and trials include the use of Cell Phone technology to boost the functionality of auto parts like the Nissan throttle body spacer, brakes and more. The automaker is researching the pedestrian-related communication involving the transmission of pedestrian position data to vehicles through the Global Positioning System or the GPS.
The advanced ITS features the next 3G cellular communications system which was launched in Japan. Through it, the GPS function is used as the basis to deliver location Information of the cellular phone. In this system, the location data transmitted from the pedestrian’s cellular phone and vehicle is supplied to the ITS to allow the system to resolve the corresponding positions between the pedestrian and the vehicle. Eventually, a pedestrian alert will become visible onboard the vehicle to warn the driver when the system is able to sense a person in the vicinity of the vehicle. The automaker expects that the new technology will dramatically help in reducing road accidents particularly in a blind-spot situation.
Nissan’s advanced ITS research consists of the various processes. First, the through cellular packet communications, the system wirelessly gathers probe data from the vehicle and position data from pedestrians. The data gathered is then computed to determine the corresponding location of the vehicle relative to the pedestrians on the road.
Then, the ITS detects pedestrians at the forefront of the vehicle and sends a warning alert to the driver at the event of a probable conflict. The research of the automaker will delve into a variety of factors influencing the pedestrian-vehicle’s relative positions. These factors include the directions in which pedestrians and the vehicle are moving, and the corresponding speeds and distances between them. Visual warnings, audible alarms and other alarms are also under study at present.
Nissan is developing the innovative ITS technology in collaboration with the NTT DoCoMo Inc. which is a well known leader in the field of cellular communications technology. The ITS project allows the automaker to test different technology concepts and formulate the most apt technology solution for wide-scale application.
The next 3G cellular communications system features digital cellular phones that meet the International Telecommunication Union’s MT-2000 specification. Hence, they allow high-speed data transfers and delivery of high-volume multi-media information, including sound, images and video.
