Yesterday I purchased the Motorola Droid. My first smartphone in a long time. At first I had buyers remorse over plunking down $300 ($200 after rebate) for this phone. Then I realized I really need something to keep me connected, and this phone was it. Here is a review on the Droid broken down by [...]

Verizon is set to almost double its termination fee, starting at $350, then decreasing $10 for each month you are in contract. The move comes as the time approaches where Verizon will have to surrender its Alltel ownership in certain areas to AT&T. A higher termination fee means people just can skip away and grab [...]

There has been a fury over this new Motorola Droid which is set to be released by Verizon on November 6th. The Android OS will only get better, and with the news about the new GPS app that Google released for free, I’m ready to wait at the doors of my local Verizon store for [...]

I didn’t even know there was going to be a BlackBerry Storm 2. Apparently there is. Check out the pictures here.

Here’s another case where a customer gets a phone bill in the thousands of dollars. A man in Miami set his laptop up on a wireless network to watch a Chicago Bears game. When he came back after a trip, he had a bill for over $27,000 from AT&T. His charges were later dropped down [...]

Heck, I’m even considering buying a refurbished Vizio HDTV soon. Refurbished products are cheaper and usually go through more testing than a new product.

Capitalize a letter - Hold letter key until capitalized letter appears.
Type an alternate character on a key - Hold Alt key and the character key.

I’ve been looking into finally purchasing a new smartphone. I have a friend who just decided to invest in a Motorola Q smartphone. The thing looks sharp! However there have been problems after only one day of ownership. Two main problems:

It’s currently locked at the VerizonWireless screen. A hard reset won’t even help it.
When the [...]

The Andoid Phone is set to come out next week. Everybody seems to be saying that it will be a definite iPhone killer. HA! Sure the Android phone is cool for us techie geeks, but these people that are pitting it as an iPhone killer are way off base. The iPhone is cool, sexy, and [...]
