Product Description
The Look
The UTStarcom Blitz Blue for Verizon Wireless is a square and stout form measuring 3.5 x 2.6 x 0.7 inches and weighing almost 4.5 ounces. Yet it is a head-turner. With full QWERTY backlit keyboard, it is a smart device for ‘texters’ and for advanced technology-beginners. It is a fascinating electric-blue slider phone that functions smoothly.
Blitz has an attractive 2.4-inch main display, with 320 x 240-pixel resolution, that supports more than 262,000 colors. Graphic images look awesome when viewed on this display. Another interesting factor of the Blitz is its specially-assigned keys—camera, power, music, and shortcuts. A dedicated 1.3-megapixel digital camera adds pizzazz to this cellular wonder.
Messaging
If you are a message fanatic, Blitz is a perfect choice. Its roomy QWERTY keyboard with raised keys is great for long-duration ‘thumbing’. Multimedia messaging (IM, SMS, MMS, etc) is also possible via this cellular device. You can send and receive instant (and picture) messages with its TXT+PIX+FLIX feature.
Besides, mobile IM (instant messaging) capacity, the Blitz also provides access to your MSN Hotmail, Yahoo! and AOL e-mail accounts. Blitz also supports e-mail clients (POP3), which means no opening of browser windows anymore! It boasts of Verizon Wireless in-built mobile Web 2.0 browser and OpenWave 6.2.3.2 gateway. Armed with both, the UTStarcom’s Blitz makes sure you get radically improved message and e-mail user-experience.
Music
Music is a need that feeds our souls, doesn’t it? Well, the Blitz surely satiates this need! It is compatible with Verizon's V Cast music with Rhapsody service. Its MP3 music player (supports WMA format files) helps you categorize numbers by genres, artists and albums. You can also edit playlists, shuffle songs or play them on a loop. And if your data ‘spills’ out of your phone, just store it on an additional card (supports up to 4 GB) via the microSD card slot. You can download your favorite numbers too on to your laptop or PC and synchronize with Blitz (make sure you buy the software and USB cable separately). How does this sound to your ears?
Bluetooth
You don’t have to crave for music, videos or images anymore. You can safely transfer the best ones from your friend using Blitz’s advanced v1.2 Bluetooth wireless technology that comes with Bluetooth stereo headset (A2DP) and handsfree. After all, this perfectionism is attained as Blitz supports A2DP and AVRC, OPP, SPP, FTP, BPP profiles. Dial-Up-Networking (DUN) is also possible on this cellular phone. Streaming music to any compatible (A2DP) device (like a pair of compatible Bluetooth stereo headphones) is its other feature.
GPS
In today’s era (if you are techno-savvy) can you think of a phone without Global Positioning System service? The UTStarcom Blitz supports GPS and how! You can get detailed, voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions over its VZ Navigator (a location-based application from Verizon Wireless). Its voice driven menus (takes in advanced voice commands) can help you drive on safely. Parental controls are also a possibility (a much-needed feature in this busy world) using Verizon Wireless phone or PC. Just activate the Chaperone service from Verizon Wireless (at a charge) to follow your child’s movement.
Digital Camera
A phone with a camera is certainly a multi-functional buy. The Blitz has a 1.3-megapixel, in-built camera that takes quality photographs—just right for personal or corporate travel. Pictures can be taken in four resolution combinations. In addition, you can do permutations and combinations of numerous white balance presets, color effects, and modes (portrait or landscape) to get ideal memory captures. Other settings include self-timer options, brightness controls, shutter controls and more.
Entertainment
Besides camera and music, the Blitz also has other time-killing and engrossing features. You can download more than 72 polyphonic ringtones (chords) and customize them according to your desire. Direct downloading and editing of MP3 ringtones is also a yes-yes. You can tweak downloaded ringer profiles, work on graphics and set them as wallpapers or themes, activate and experiment with its picture called ID option, or play the downloaded BREW titles (games) for added fun.
Highlights
The Verizon Wireless Blitz has numerous other appealing features like text-to-speech conversion and voice-activated dialing (just speak a phonebook name and watch the magic unfurl). The phone can store more than 1,000 entries with additional space for five numbers and two e-mail addresses per contact. These contacts can be arranged; grouped, assigned ring tones, caller ID and sounds. Basic organizing functions also top its good-features list (Blitz has in-built calculator, calendar, alarm clock, world clock, notepad, and stopwatch).
The phone also supports various plans and options (to help you slash costs). You can opt for one of the many Verizon Wireless options (Rhapsody, voice plan, V CAST and TXT+PIX+FLIX) or choose one of the Verizon compatible rate plans (connect, voice and add-on line plans). So here is a simple, wonderfully-priced phone with worth-it features. Do we see you nod in agreement?
