Cyber-bullying | 5

Buyer’s Guide |

Back to school & college with The Carphone Warehouse Bullying is a problem for children growing up. Mobile phones and social media websites have become tools for the cyber-bully. The Carphone Warehouse and vMad.com offer an affordable and flexible solution to stopping the cyber-bully. Bully Stop is a mobile phone software which gives parents and guardians the ability to control how your child uses their mobile phone. We’ve consulted Professor Mona O’Moore from the Trinity College Anti-bullying Centre. Mona is a recognised expert in cyber-bullying and has kindly given us hints and tips for parents.

1. Inform yourself about mobile phone and internet use and safety. 2. Make sure your child or teen understands the importance of internet and mobile safety strategies. Warn them of the dangers of putting photos of themselves on the internet or to share indiscriminately their name, address, phone number and other personal information online.

3. Inform yourself about blocking devices which will help to block unwanted and abusive calls. The vMad Bully Stop application allows your child and teenager to control who calls or sends them texts. It also enables you and your child to view the content of any blocked text.

Introducing smartphones

Our choice of Education Apps. Helping all students get the most of their smartphone

Smartphones offer more computing ability than a traditional phone. Apps are loaded onto the phone which tailor your smartphone to what you want it to do. Look out for Office document readers, navigation and games.

All manufacturers are competing in the smartphone market, we’ve seen new phones from Samsung, LG, HTC and Nokia. Apple always wait until the market is ready for something new, the iPhone 4 is worth the wait and available now keeping all types of customers happy, its business capabilities are well known as well as the entertaining games and apps available, its going to be a big hit.

BlackBerry started the trend and now all the major manufacturers are trying to produce the best smartphone with the latest unique design feature. I’ve tried most of them at one time or another, standard phones such as the E52 fits well into your pocket and has some great GPS and mapping features from the Ovi store. The Nokia N97 has a massive touch screen and qwerty keyboard, great for typing and flexible enough to watch movies and read small type.

Buyer’s Guide |

Touchscreen phones The future of phones is touch screen, millions of man hours are spent making the next generation of touch screen phones work like a dream.

“Photos and movies look much better on a large screen” The touchscreen format was once limited to smartphones and expensive multimedia focused products, not for everyone’s budget. All mobile manufacturers are now producing touchscreen phones to fit all pockets – literally. LG had great success with their Cookie, Samsung with the Tocco lite and now manufacturers are making the touchscreen experience even better and more affordable. But what are the advantages of a touchscreen phone over a regular or ‘classic’ phone? Studies have shown that touch screens, such as automatic ticket machines that you would find in a train station or a cinema are more intuitive, you see an instruction on the screen and the immediate response is to touch the screen, that response is exactly the same with mobile phones.

Add the fact that your pictures and movies are bound to look much better on a 3.5 inch screen compared to a 2 inch screen then you start to see why they are getting so popular. Texting and emails are made so easy on a touchscreen phone when you turn it on it’s side (landscape mode) a full qWerTY keyboard is presented on the screen and you can type away with both thumbs, much quicker than using a keypad. This format is the future of mobile phones and at The Carphone Warehouse we have the range and the expert advice, ask in-store today.

The fact that many touchscreen phones only have 3 buttons makes it much easier for the manufacturer, there are less components to make and therefore less moving parts that can get stuck or get damaged.

James, Head Office.

Welcome to laptops Head of laptop and accessories, Marc introduces the range. It’s easy to be confused by all the different options when purchasing a laptop computer. There are literally hundreds of models to choose from for different manufacturers at all different prices. That’s why at the Carphone Warehouse we’ve made buying a laptop as simple as possible by ensuring that we have the ‘best products for the best price’.

5 Step guide to buying a laptop 1. Size & Weight:

Laptop bags

This is an important factor to consider when deciding on whether you’re looking for a Laptop / Netbook to use on the move, whether portability around the home or whether it’s going to be used in a fixed location as more of a desktop replacement.

Laptops need protecting. At The Carphone Warehouse we range sling bags, courier bags, cases and slip cases. Ask a sales consultant for more details. Do your laptop a favour – protect it from damage.

2. Usage:

€19.90

What you’re going to use your laptop for will make a difference of how much power you need under the bonnet. For most everyday tasks – Office suite, Web browsing and viewing media will all work from a standard processor. More intensive applications such as video editing, photo manipulation and gaming will require a faster processor

3. Storage:

Bigger really does mean better, the larger the hard-drive the more space available for saving all your Music, Pictures and Movies. To help identify how much storage you’d prefer, use this simple calculation.

1 GB = 125 Songs + 300 Photos +1.5hrs Video

Microsoft Office Home & Student

4. Connectivity:

What is a laptop without the software. Microsoft is the industry standard for presentations, spreadsheets and word processing.

➠ VGA port allow a connection to a monitor or projector ➠ SD Card Slot for viewing and importing photo and other media stored on memory cards ➠ HDMI allows the laptop to be connected to a HD TV in the living room to watch all your high def content.

5. Get more

Get more from your laptop: Buying the right accessories is as important as buying the laptop.

➠ Consider buying an external DVD drive, PC to PC transfer cable, External Hard-drive or USB memory Stick if you buy a netbook or laptop without a DVD drive ➠ Keep your laptop protected while on the move and by a laptop bag. ➠ And ways make sure you have AntiVirus installed on your laptop. It’s always better to be safe than sorry. AntiVirus will ensure that your personal information is safe and prevent harmful viruses from damaging your laptop.

The difference type of ports available on the laptop will make a difference on how it can be used.

€69.90

➠ USB ports allow various products to enchance your laptops usability. Add additional storage by USB or connect a wireless mouse by USB.
