Let the race begin! Who will sign up the most iPhone 4S account starting in just 4 days?

Dang, pecking out those tiny keys with a regular non-Qwerty cell-phone handset keyboard can be tough. Fear no longer! You can send out text messages with your email program. This method is also great for folks outside the country who cannot easily text to another country. Tip: Make sure to remove your signature from email, so it’s not too long. Another way it would make it easier for the reader when you send text message by email is to remove all the replies on the email, since there is very …

After much anticipation, rumors and innuendo, the Blackberry Storm has been released by Blackberry and Verizon Wireless (exclusive vendor). It’s the first touch screen Blackberry. It’s beyond cool. It has everything the iPhone has and so much more! If you’re considering purchasing an iPhone, there is FINALLY an alternative. As with all amazingly cool products, it doesn’t hurt to wait 2-3 weeks before purchasing one, though. There are always little bugs to be worked out, as we’ve seen with the iPhone 1.0 and the iPhone 2.0.
One glaring omission is the …

Yes, you read that correctly, Walmart is offering the Blackberry Bold, the latest and greatest offering from Blackberry for $299 with $299 rebate, with 2 year agreement with AT&T. You can only get this great deal online.
