Honest 836 Report post Posted December 16, 2007 Now Try before you Buy a Phone! Those looking to check out mobile phones before zeroing-in on what to buy can go check tryphone.com It's an interesting and interactive new service enabling consumers try before making a buy. With 'Tryphone', customers can try their hands on interactive virtual handsets also referred to as phone simulators, test-drive mobile devices and applications. Users can get an overview of the phone, along with reviews, technical specifications, and demos. They can even try out important functions by actually making calls, taking photographs, adding contacts, or sending text messages. The technology in use here is 'Direct to Device', which employs a combination of hardware and software that connects directly to mobile handsets. Users can then control these handsets via software over the Internet, essentially remotely operating physical handsets. Presently in its beta verison, 'TryPhone' supports only four handsets, which include Apple's iPhone, LG Muziq, Blackberry Pearl, and Samsung Juke. However, the company plans to add new handsets every week. To experience this interactive service, customers can visit www.tryphone.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
