iPhone Mini Battery Pack and Charger

Sunday, April 25th, 2010

It has been now almost 2 years since I switched from my trusted blackberry to my Apple iPhone.

At first I was pretty hesitant about giving up my Blackberry, and for a short period I actually temporally switched back to my Blackberry.

Over the past two years I have jail broken my phone, added a lot of apps, and then removed a lot of apps while making my iPhone a more powerful tool every day.  Sometimes I even wonder how I functioned with my Blackberry.

Phone Battery Life

Recently I have been running into issues whereas I forget to charge my phone or perhaps I just use it too much. If this had been my old trusted blackberry I would have simply swapped to a spare charged battery however as you are probably aware you cannot swap the battery on the iPhone.

I recently purchase a very convenient external battery pack that connects to the bottom of my telephone and provides a power up without needing an electrical plug and cables.

There are a number of products on the market however the one I chose is made my Kensington and can be located here http://ca.kensington.com/html/15807.html

Telecom would like to introduce you to some of  THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY telecommunication rooms that we have run into over the years.  Even though the BAD & UGLY are closely related in the business telephone world – you have to have a sense of humour about these things. Sometime all you can do is laugh, before you get to the business of straightening things out.

Good News! Now that we’ve setup our new website full of all kinds of helpful technical information on business phone systems we thought we could also have a section dedicated to pictures of some terrible sites our technicians encounter in the field.

If  S.E. Telecom picks your company for the business telephone system makeover  contest  your company will be eligible for a certain amount of time and material where S.E. Telecom will come in fix your ugly mess.

S.E. Telecom sponsors Everyday Tangled Web, photo contest on Lenzr

First let me introduce myself, James Stortz, the CEO of S.E. Telecom. As you can read in the sidebar, under my pretty face, I’ve been in the business of installing office telephone systems for over 12 years with offices in Toronto, Montreal, Calgary & British Columbia. “One Call We Do It All”

It was back in Dec 2009 when I met Rob Campbell of Smojoe Social Media alongside Will Webb of Innate Media Group, (and both were introduced to me by Chris Binet of BCommunications). All three of these skilled professionals teamed up to make my business infinitely more findable on the internet.  Rob immediately recognized my unique telecommunicatons knowledge and expertise, and recommended that I build this blog. Will Webb gave our entire website a much needed face lift, and now the S.E. Telecom website has more functionality, and is a lot better looking!

During the two month development period, and another month for writing content and beta testing of our new website, we created a new logo and added this new  blog to our domain.
