Sure, we get excited when a new TV spot showcases the latest, greatest gadget-enhanced cell phone, but what do most of us do before we buy? We ask around. What do our friends think? How about that guy on the elevator with one in his pocket? Better yet, we seek out the amazing techno-geek friend we all have -- you know he knows the scoop.

So, why do we seek the opinions of other people versus ads or product literature? That's easy: We like unbiased opinions. According to Vidal Graupera, creator of 5th Bar and one of America's designers and developers of mobile software applications, "The cell world is evolving so fast; there are new models and advancements popping up all the time. Prospective buyers like to hear the opinions of real, day-to-day users. Are there bugs in the new model? Is the reception really that great? People crave an objective opinion."

Graupera created the site as a new place to collect and organize the wealth of rapidly changing information about cell phones products and services. What takes fifthbar.com beyond the realm of an open forum blog? The site takes a new approach to collecting data from reputable third parties.

Any phone or accessory on the site listed is continuously updated with the latest news, pricing, videos, photos, information and buzz. If someone adds a new phone or accessory to the system (a capability not featured on traditional cell phone websites) fifthbar immediately seeks out and starts collecting information on that new device.

Since there are already thousands of blogs that push out news and information about cell phones, fifthbar.com has worked to create a complete, user-engaged experience. Visitors can contribute reviews, comments, experiences, and even introduce new products into the database of over 2,000 items.
