With the market full of complicated smartphones a person might have trouble trying to find an affordable phone with simple features. Not everyone plans to use their phone to surf the web, watch videos, or even check their stock. Some people want a simple phone for talking and messaging. That phone has finally arrived. The Samsung SGH-A177 phone lacks many of the features of other big name phones, but with its focus on typing and comfortable keyboard it will make a great phone for any text and IM junky.

The Samsung SGH-A177 has a simple design. Those tired of over the top models and outrageous colors might see the simplicity as a welcome change. Others who are used to the Swiss army knife nature of most phones today might be put off by it. The phone is a simple rectangular phone, with no flip or slide mechanism. There are 2 design flaws found on this phone that might sway people away. Firstly the plastic the phone is made out of simply doesn’t feel strong enough to withstand constant use. If you plan on purchasing this phone should also get a pouch or some kind of case. Also the screen is rather small. Despite the bright color display photos and games are going to appear slightly pixilated and muted. The best feature on this phone is obviously the full QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard was designed to make texting and sending long messages in instant message windows easy. They keys are slightly raised and there is a very satisfying click noise whenever you press a button.

This phone clearly lacks any of the features found on many of the heavy weight phones out there. The phone does come with a camera, instant message capabilities, and even Bluetooth. For some people this is all that they might need. The IM function and Bluetooth work well but the images captured on the camera are mediocre at best. Along with not being able to record any video the camera seems like an afterthought.

The microphone installed in the phone needs definite improvement. If you are in a high traffic or loud noise area the microphone will pick it up and the caller on the other end will have trouble understanding you. Additionally the speakerphone is just atrocious. The other caller will sound very low and if the volume is increased to over compensate the caller will sound very distorted and garbled.

The Samsung SGH-A177 clearly is not a phone for everyone. If you wont miss watching videos, and surfing the web then consider buying this phone. But be cautious because the phones call performance is not that great.

If you’re someone who has a Nintendo Wii, you might have wondered if it’s possible to make copies of Wii games. We hear this question a lot so today we’re going to show you how you can copy Wii games.

If you want to copy a Wii game, you can’t do it using your ordinary computer software. This is because ordinary software can’t read game discs. It might sound funny, but your computer just can’t make sense of the data on the disc at first. You will need special software for this function.

As you probably have already guessed, there are software companies that have developed programs that can get past this protection. By installing the software, all of a sudden your computer can read the disc and produce copies.

We should point out that this software should be used to make legal copies of Wii games. It is perfectly legal to copy Wii games that you already own. This gives you a backup copy in case something were to happen to the original. Although many people get this software to make copies of games they don’t own, that’s not something that we want to encourage.

Lets now see how this software works.

Anyone who has burnt a CD will not find it difficult to make a copy of the game. Once the software is installed, you don’t have to do much in order to burn xbox games.

You will simply insert the game in your disc drive and your computer system will create a disc “image”. When you put in a blank CD, the system will automatically copy the game to the CD.

The Nintendo Wii is unlike any other video game system which has come before; it has generated an unprecedented level of popularity. It should come as no surprise to anyone that there are a lot of people who want to copy their Wii games as a backup in case of damage, loss or theft.

These games typically come in the form of a disc which looks like any other CD ? but they cannot be as copied as easily as a music CD. The process is a little more complicated; keep reading for some tips on copying Wii games and a guide on when you should and should not back up a given Wii game disc.

Your usual burning software can’t copy your Wii games the same way you’d burn a CD. Roxio, Nero, and other popular burning programs just can’t copy these disks. That’s because there’s encoded copy protection on the disk that keeps your computer from being able to make sense of it.

Like any other copy protection developed to date, someone quickly cracked the encryption. You can find programs which are capable of reading the encrypted Wii game discs.

Once you’ve installed this kind of software, making a copy of the game is relatively easy – your computer is suddenly able to understand the data that was unreadable before. This is true for games on just about any system, including the PS3, Xbox 360, and the Wii.

Even some PC games use encryption that can be broken by these programs. Should you own more than one game system, this software can help you produce backup copies for all of them, not just your Wii.

With this encryption breaking software, you can make a disc image of the Wii game and copy it on to your hard drive. You can use your regular CD burning software to make a copy of this disc just as you would when copying any other CD or DVD.

In many cases, these programs have copying and burning capabilities built in as well as decryption functionality. This makes it less likely that you’ll run into trouble copying Wii games.

The copying programs that are now available make it possible to copy Wii games without having to do anything but click a few buttons. Copying Wii games is a great way to make a backup copy of any game you want. It never hurts to have a backup in the case that the original gets lost or damaged. Enjoy!
