Alltel Deposits Returned

Monday, January 19, 2009

2 Comments

After years of paying, waiting, and being lied to by multiple customer service representitves regarding them, our wireless deposits have been returned! Amazing enough, one of the deposits (with interest) fit perfectly into another month of service. Funny how that works, huh? The other deposit was actually returned to us rather quickly once people stopped [...]

iPhone Just Not Good Enough

Saturday, July 26, 2008

The first 3G iPhone has arrived, but for a mobile power user like myself, is the iPhone really going to cut it? I don’t think so. While I love the look and feel of the “Steve Phone,” there’s something seriously missing from these devices. I live and use my smartphone in the United States, where [...]

I’ve been playing with my new phone for about a week now, the HTC PPC-6800. I’m in love. It’s smaller than the 6700 I had, jet black and spring-loaded with enough power to do things such as 802.11b/g wireless, stream every kind of media imaginable, and even act as an FTP or torrent server. Now [...]

I never imagined I’d hear myself saying this, but maybe ditching Windows Mobile, no matter how horrible the battery life, was a bad decision on my part. While I couldn’t get enough of my Treo 700p when I first bought it, after loading office apps, VNC, SSH, a decent e-mail client, and struggling to find [...]

Cheap Smartphone Case (Leather!)

Saturday, February 9, 2008

I was very skeptical about buying a third-party phone case online for the simple fact that a lot of these cheap knockoffs aren’t exactly 100% as advertised. I had been using a funky digital camera holster for my PocketPC (that’s how mammoth it was). and the slimmer Treo wasn’t exactly a tight fit. After a [...]

How To Cancel Your Cell Phone Contract

Monday, February 4, 2008

Aside from faking your own death or moving to Antarctica, there are few options for people wanting out of that lengthy cell phone contract unless you’re willing to pony up the cash for the $200 to $300 early termination fee written in lawyer-speak on the back of the phone contract you probably don’t remember signing.
