So instead of scrapping up their stocks (I hope they scrap them up and not just bury them in some landfill), what do they do? They not only give them away, &lt;strong&gt;they give you money or credit to take them away&lt;/strong&gt;! As of May 2007, these have free shipping too. So ordering today can have the cell phone just in time for Mother's Day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a sample from Letstalk.com:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sanyo Katana - Mystic Black (Sprint) Cell Phone&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2353448-10274042?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.letstalk.com%2Finlink.htm%3Fto%3D555863&amp;cjsku=170372" target="_top"&gt;&lt;img alt="Sanyo Katana - Mystic Black (Sprint)" src="http://www.letstalk.com/img/prod/100/523/30883_brw.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="1" src="http://www.ftjcfx.com/image-2353448-10274042" width="1" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sanyo Katana is a new ultra-thin cell phone offered by Sprint.

My brother has one, at least four of my friends, and just about every other person I meet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of today, here is a screenshot from Letstalk.com's best seller list:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yATxh46RxAA/RjjkIbeQHPI/AAAAAAAAAEY/moE0eAlsawY/s1600-h/letstalk_razr.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5060045014815481074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="249" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_yATxh46RxAA/RjjkIbeQHPI/AAAAAAAAAEY/moE0eAlsawY/s200/letstalk_razr.jpg" width="242" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is the RAZR so popular? Well, many like the looks. Let's see, the RAZR is sleek and thin. It is well designed. I like how the touchpad blends with the surface and doesn't stick out like many other cellphones. It also comes with many different colors to match just about any individual styles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What about specs? This one is for a v3:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) capable&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mobile Instant Messaging using AOL® Instant MessengerTM&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quad-band international capability &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Polyphonic speaker and downloadable ringtones, supertones, and full-audio ringtones &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Integrated digital VGA camera with 4x zoom, image quality options, and auto-timer &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Photo phone book and picture Caller ID &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Built-in speakerphone &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;WAP Browser, Brew and Bluetooth capable &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Voice activated dialing and commands* &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Video download and playback capabilities &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Personal organizer: Calendar, calculator, alarm clock, and currency converter&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not really groundbreaking as a phone. But it works well as a phone. Bluetooth will payoff even if you dont' replace in a year or two because of the cell phone bans in car laws that are upcoming. You can easily attach a handsfree device.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, when the RAZR first came out, it cost a lot, in the hundreds at first. Now, it's being given out for free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Start reading some &lt;a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.letstalk.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/1t65zw41w3JMNPNOOSJLKOLNPNM" target="_top"&gt;reviews&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img height="1" src="http://www.awltovhc.com/i2108r6Az42ORSUSTTXOQPTQSUSR" width="1" border="0" /&gt;from Letstalk.com customers.

They are having a Mother's Day special for FREE shipping on orders $19.99 or more.&lt;br /&gt;But what's worthwhile at $19.99+? Here's a couple of choices:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right at $19.99 is a reconditoned cell phone, &lt;a onmouseover="window.status='http://www.net10.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/33106biroiq589B9AAE576A97788" target="_top"&gt;Nokia 1100 &lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.net10-store.com/images/net10/prodimages/fullsize/phone_1100.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 111px; CURSOR: hand" height="205" alt="" src="http://www.net10-store.com/images/net10/prodimages/fullsize/phone_1100.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;It has the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stores up to 50 names and numbers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;One touch dialing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Battery talk time up to 3 hours and standby time up to 16 days&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Changeable color covers&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Built-in games, calculator and clock with alarm&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Built-in flashlight&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Multi-language support&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Vibrating alert&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Includes 300 minutes of airtime, 60 days of service&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not bad. It's a very basic phone. I'd buy it for personal use, but not if I'm giving a gift for my mom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, depending on your state, something that's can payoff in a longer term is a Motorola v176 for $89.99.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.net10-store.com/images/net10/prodimages/fullsize/phone_V176.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 100px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 189px" height="205" alt="" src="http://www.net10-store.com/images/net10/prodimages/fullsize/phone_V176.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; It has the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Features text messaging, voice mail, free caller ID, free call waiting*&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Color display with screen savers and wallpaper&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Handsfree speaker phone built-in&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Phonebook with up to 250 entries&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Battery talk time over 6 hours&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Standby time up to 12.5 days&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pre-loaded ringtones&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Multi-media Games&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Alarm clock&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Weighs just 3.06 ounces&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Includes 300 minutes of airtime, 60 days of service&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I mentioned that this would payoff for a longer term because of the handsfree speaker. The handsfree speaker can be a poorman's handsfree devices as you drive when certain laws restricting cell phones in cars are passed. You'll just have to shut the windows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are a handful of other choices.

Maybe because listening to music is a choice that we personally make, only limited by a handful of restrictions, mainly the &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;lack of music at the time we want it&lt;/span&gt;.  The convergence of cell phones and walkmans (iPods for the hipper crowd) chips away at another restriction for instant music satisfaction.  You shall no longer be inconvenienced with carrying 2 gadgets (cell phone or iPod) when you jog, grocery shop, etc.  Most of us just carries our cell phones, neglecting iPods for more leisurely time.  But if the cell phone also plays music as well, we will use it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meet the new Samsung UpStage, a two-sided mobile device that's both a phone and a music player.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Music can be downloaded from your PC or from the Sprint Music StoreSM - then listen to it all through the stereo speaker or a stereo Bluetooth headset&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;With the big, beautiful, 262,000-color display so you can watch music videos or Sprint TVSM. Just hit "play.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The UpStage has a sweet 1.3 megapixel camera and camcorder so you'll never miss a photo op again&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Connecting to Bluetooth-enabled headsets, hands free car systems and compatible printers sounds good, doesn't it? Well, connecting to your music with a stereo Bluetooth headset sounds even better&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Oh0hvHMML._SS400_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 253px; height: 253px;" src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41Oh0hvHMML._SS400_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41L49L6fbAL._SS400_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 259px;" src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41L49L6fbAL._SS400_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/21-J2ZR4i6L._SS400_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 265px;" src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/21-J2ZR4i6L._SS400_.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Samsung UpStage is very convenient to carry around at only 0.4 inches thick.

The &lt;strong&gt;Samsung UpStage through Sprint&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;LG enV through Verizon&lt;/strong&gt; are here as &lt;strong&gt;alternative to iPhones&lt;/strong&gt; for those who aren't presold to the iPhone yet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both companies are aggressively pursuing the market through incentives and bonus. Their rebates are practically giving these phones away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LG enV (Verizon) &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yATxh46RxAA/RiCS3F-oopI/AAAAAAAAADk/XNciQHS9JmI/s1600-h/LG+enV+front.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053200257105044114" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_yATxh46RxAA/RiCS3F-oopI/AAAAAAAAADk/XNciQHS9JmI/s320/LG+enV+front.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yATxh46RxAA/RiCTXl-ooqI/AAAAAAAAADs/T30Oi_ndBWI/s1600-h/LG+enV+Open.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053200815450792610" style="WIDTH: 100px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 261px" height="280" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_yATxh46RxAA/RiCTXl-ooqI/AAAAAAAAADs/T30Oi_ndBWI/s320/LG+enV+Open.jpg" width="126" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forget for a second that this is a nice phone.

Sesame Street is also available for kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The video transmission is well-supported by Verizon's EVDO high speed data. Which makes playing enhanced 3D games a great experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The slim packaging is not too shabby either. It's about the size of a standard iPod. Which by the way, the enV comes with&lt;br /&gt;- an advanced MP3 player and&lt;br /&gt;- dual stereo speakers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember my post on cell phone bans while driving? The LG enV is completely hands free ready:&lt;br /&gt;- voice command activation for many of the phone's function, including dialing&lt;br /&gt;- text-to-speech ability so that you may hear emails to you, and&lt;br /&gt;- Bluetooth enabled so that you can use your favorite headsets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lastly, the camera can capture videos for about 15 secs. The camera also has a 2 mega pix resolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;iframe style="WIDTH: 120px; HEIGHT: 240px" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=newcell-20&amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=B000LNOFH0&amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;bc1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;f=ifr" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of 4/13/07, there's a mail-in rebate for $150 USD which would eventually give you the phone for free. &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fcommunity-content-search%2Fresults%2F%3Fquery%3DLG%2BenV%26search-alias%3Dcommunity-reviews-realtime%26idx.asin%3DB000LNOFH0%26x%3D11%26y%3D15&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;tag=newcell-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325"&gt;Don't forget to read the reviews.

As of Mar 2007, the highlights are as follows: &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fourteen states and the District of Columbia have special cell phone restrictions for novice drivers.   &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; School bus drivers in 12 states are prohibited from all cell phone use when passengers are present, except for in emergencies. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     No state completely bans all types of cellphone use (handheld and hands-free) while driving.   &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     &lt;strong&gt;Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and the District of Columbia have enacted jurisdiction-wide bans on driving while talking on handheld cell phones. California has passed a similar law that will go into affect in July, 2008.&lt;/strong&gt; Many other states ban cell phone use in specific situations.   &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     Some states, such as Utah and New Hampshire, treat cell phone use as a larger "distracted driving" issue.   &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Because there are few studies and little crash data available, states are beginning to take a more active role in improving data collection. DeKalb County, Georgia has begun sanctioning drivers whose "improper" usage of a mobile phone was a "contributing factor" in a collision causing death, injury or damage. The law is likely the first of its kind in Georgia and perhaps elsewhere. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Of all the states and jurisdictions, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, District of Columbia, and California &lt;strong&gt;require or will require the use of hands free devices&lt;/strong&gt; while driving except for emergencies.  &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; So what are these hands free devices?  Headsets or earphones are probably the easiest way to describe hands free devices.  These can be purchased as added accessories.  Hands free devices can be as simple as earphones with mics that can be plugged into most cell phones, such as the &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FSamsung-Handsfree-Headset-Most-Devices%2Fdp%2FB000BJDQ7O%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dwireless%26qid%3D1176204394%26sr%3D1-4&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;tag=newcell-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153);"&gt;Samsung Handsfree Headset for Most Devices&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=newcell-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;amp;o=1" style="border-style: none ! important; margin: 0px;" border="0" height="1" width="1" /&gt; (pictured below). &lt;/p&gt; &lt;div style="margin-left: 120px;"&gt;   &lt;img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000BJDQ7O.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_SS500_.jpg" style="width: 244px; height: 265px;" height="302" width="301" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;     &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;   More and more, recent trends in the consumer market refer to hands free devices as from the &lt;a href="http://www.bluetooth.com/Bluetooth/Learn/Works/" target="blank_" title="Bluetooth line of technology"&gt;Bluetooth line of technology&lt;/a&gt; for wireless use.  This means that you can buy car kits for hands free use of your cell phone while driving.  The choices range from car use only to portable use at home/office or elsewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example,&lt;span class="sans"&gt;VXI CORPORATION has the B150 Bluetooth Headset and Charger for Bluetooth-enabled cell phones and PC.  It comes with the following simple setup:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;       &lt;span class="sans"&gt;a car battery charger, &lt;/span&gt;     &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;       30' receiving range from BlueParrott base,     &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;       noise canceling microphone to reduce background noise,     &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;       vehicle charging cord and AC adaptor     &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=newcell-20&amp;o=1&amp;amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;amp;asins=B000BHAUSE&amp;fc1=000000&amp;amp;IS2=1&amp;lt1=_blank&amp;amp;amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;bc1=FFFFFF&amp;amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;f=ifr" style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It garners some &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fcommunity-content-search%2Fresults%2F%3Fquery%3DB150%2BBluetooth%2BHeadset%26search-alias%3Dcommunity-reviews-realtime%26idx.asin%3DB000BHAUSE%26x%3D8%26y%3D12&amp;amp;tag=80sfilms-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325"&gt;great reviews from truckers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=mynewcell-20&amp;amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" border="0" height="1" width="1" /&gt;.

Computer?&lt;br /&gt;[&lt;i class="fine"&gt;Bones hands him a mouse and he speaks into it&lt;/i&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Scotty&lt;/b&gt;: Hello, computer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dr. Nichols&lt;/b&gt;: Just use the keyboard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Scotty&lt;/b&gt;: Keyboard. How quaint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;I always thought that some things from sci-fi movies eventually become reality.  In one of the Star Trek films, the crew of the Enterprise travelled back in time to save the Earth.  In one scene, Scotty, the engineer from the future, was trying to use a 20th century computer (an Apple Mac of all things) by simply giving it a voice command.  When the computer wouldn't respond, Bones picked up the mouse and handed it to Scotty to speak into.  It was a classic scene that remained burned in my head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twenty years later, voice commands seem to be nearing practical stages that it permeates everyday use.  Because of the "No-cell-phone-while-driving" laws being passed by many state and local governments, voice activation should really be considered by cellphone users or face stiff penalty.  I'd be really embarassed if I get a ticket because I was dialing my cell phone while driving.  And would feel like a complete loser if I get in an accident as I dialed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the Samsung SCH-u340 - &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;a cell phone with voice activated commands&lt;/span&gt;.  It can be dialed using only your voice.  I'm sure there are other cell phones out there that have the same features, but it might cost you money even after rebates.  &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/newcell-20/detail/B000N239UI/103-9123346-9336646" title="Samsung SCH-u340 for a penny and free shipping."&gt;The SCH-u340 will cost you $0.01 from Amazon if purchased with a Verizon plan, shipping included.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="relative" style="margin-left: 120px;"&gt;   &lt;img alt="Samsung U340 Phone (Verizon Wireless)" src="http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/B000N239UI.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_SL210_V46981093_.jpg" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the quick specs for the techy minded:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Integrated VGA Digital Camera to capture those unexpected moments   &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     Integrated Speakerphone for conference calls or hands free operation   &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     Personal Organizer: Calendar w/ Scheduler, Note Pad   &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     Phone book with up to 500 Entries with multiple contacts   &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;     Hearing Aid Compatibility = M4/T4   &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fcommunity-content-search%2Fresults%2F%3Fquery%3Dsamsung%2Bphone%26search-alias%3Dcommunity-reviews-realtime%26idx.asin%3DB000N239UI%26x%3D10%26y%3D4&amp;amp;amp;amp;tag=newcell-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325"&gt;Don't forget to read reviews.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=newcell-20&amp;amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" style="border-style: none !

The most important factor is probably cost.  Since the phone is likely to be a one-time purchase (unless it breaks and sometimes it's free with a promotion), then it is best to compare the price per minute of the phone cards.

If you let it expire, that phone number can be assigned to someone else; you can re-subscribe, but you'll get a different number.  Adding minutes before the service date expires keeps the phone number in your name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Suggestions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reviewing the above options for cell phone vendors, the most widely available carrier seems to be TracFone.  Their 90 days service date also makes a lot of sense for me since I do not intend to use the cell phone a lot.  At $0.33/minute, TracFone seems to be the most expensive of all the vendors above.  However, if I purchase 120 min for $29.99, the rate drops to $0.25/min.  Additionally, there's also an option for 400 min for 1 year.  Tracfone also runs a promotion from time to time.  Currently they have &lt;a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/ok79tenkem1457566A13264B962" target="_top"&gt;buy a 1 Year Card and get 50 bonus minutes and a FREE phone.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/ko79ltxlrpADEGEFFJACBFDKIFB" border="0" height="1" width="1" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/cellphone" rel="tag"&gt;cellphone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/cell+phone" rel="tag"&gt;cell phone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Cingular" rel="tag"&gt;Cingular&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Net+10" rel="tag"&gt;Net 10&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/TracFone" rel="tag"&gt;TracFone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Boost+Mobile" rel="tag"&gt;Boost Mobile&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/US+Cellular" rel="tag"&gt;US Cellular&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Amp%27d+Mobile" rel="tag"&gt;Amp'd Mobile&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/prepaid+cellphone" rel="tag"&gt;prepaid cellphone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="aboutsmall"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.del.icio.us/static/img/delicious.small.gif" /&gt; &lt;a href="http://del.icio.us/post" onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&amp;noui&amp;jump=close&amp;url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious', 'toolbar=no,width=700,height=400'); return false;"&gt;Save To del.icio.ous&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717750542021991853-7358665750515952591?l=mynewcellphone.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717750542021991853/posts/default/7358665750515952591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717750542021991853/posts/default/7358665750515952591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynewcellphone.blogspot.com/2007/04/prepaid-cellphones-pt-2-guide-to-buy.html' title='Prepaid cellphones, pt 2 - Guide to buy'/><author><name>Soren</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_yATxh46RxAA/R-OwTEpIC4I/AAAAAAAAAFI/eRi3W_VqAG8/S220/roy3.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717750542021991853.post-638076515280675685</id><published>2007-03-25T22:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-03-27T16:23:17.078-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='prepaid cell phones'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='deals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='budgetting suggestions'/><title type='text'>Prepaid Cell Phones - Best ways to budget and still keep in touch, pt 1</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;Are you looking to trim down on your expenses?  Do you have a vacation planned and figuring out how to save more?  If you're looking to squeeze more from your money (just like most of us working folks), then look into prepaid cell phones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pre-paid cell phones are simply mobile phones that do not have contracts.  Airtime minutes are provided by purchasing airtime cards and tying the card's PIN to the phone through Internet or dial-in activation.  More airtime minutes can be added through purchase of additional cards as desired.  Airtime minutes must be used by the service date that could vary from 60, 90, 120, etc. days from activation.  These are also known as pay-as-you-go cell plans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Are pre-paid cell phones right for you?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Controlling costs.  You only pay the service for the minutes that you use.  Contract phones will charge you a basic monthly whether you use 1 minute or 300 minutes of airtime for that month.  Any thing over your basic minutes will incur additional payment.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Don't want to get locked into a contract.   Majority of contracts seem to be 24 months.  That might be too long for you.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;How do the numbers stack up?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Compare the typical lowest monthly plan at $39.99. &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26field-zipjids%3D91732%26index%3Dwireless-plans%26field-vendorcode%3Dsprintpcs&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;tag=notreadcom-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325"&gt;Sprint has the Power Pack 450&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=notreadcom-20&amp;amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" alt="" style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" border="0" height="1" width="1" /&gt; with the following:&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;price per month: $39.99 USD&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;anytime minutes: 450&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Offpeak minutes: unlimited&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;In 3-mo's, this plan would cost roughly $120 USD, even if only 3 hours, or 180 minutes of air time is used.  This happens to me a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Compare to a &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&amp;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FT-Mobile-Go-Prepaid-Refill-Card%2Fdp%2FB0002W089Y%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dwireless%26qid%3D1174885217%26sr%3D1-2&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;tag=notreadcom-20&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325"&gt;T-Mobile $50 USD Prepaid card&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=notreadcom-20&amp;amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1" alt="" style="border: medium none  ! important; margin: 0px ! important;" border="0" height="1" width="1" /&gt; with the following&lt;/li&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Includes 400 Whenever Minutes. No annual contract or credit check&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Buy airtime as you need it, good for 90 days from time of activation&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Minutes include Nationwide long distance (including Alaska &amp; Hawaii)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;No roaming charges on Nationwide on the T-Mobile USA network&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 40px;"&gt;&lt;div class="content"&gt;Note: Airtime cards are non-returnable, non-refundable and non-replaceable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="content"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;If someone uses the cell phone sparingly, the cost difference for a 90 day period can be up to $70 USD.  In one year, this could be a savings of up to $280 USD.  Besides, airtime cards can conveniently be bought in almost any retail stores, including Best Buys, Sam's Club, etc., and online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;What does this mean in the real world?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;If you're a parent, pre-paid cell phones make great phones for children, especially if you want them to have something for emergency.  You can control the costs and at the same time, teach them about budgetting (airtime for now, but hopefully leads to budgetting money later on).  Additionally, if the child gets out of hand, take the phone away.  The financial burden on you is negligible.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you're a college student on a budget, you may simply get a pre-paid phone and forego installing land lines in your dorm or apartment.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you like to travel and wonderin how you're gonna save up for the next trip.  You should consider a prepaid phone over a contract cell phone or even a landline in your apartment.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you're job is shaky and you believe that there's gonna be a layoff, consider a prepaid phone to trim the fat in your expenses.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/cellphone" rel="tag"&gt;cellphone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/cell+phone" rel="tag"&gt;cell phone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/prepaid+cell+phones" rel="tag"&gt;prepaid cell phones&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/pay+as+you+go" rel="tag"&gt;pay as you go&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/budgetting" rel="tag"&gt;budgetting&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="aboutsmall"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.del.icio.us/static/img/delicious.small.gif" /&gt;

The answer impacts if you get a standard phone or one with a Global System.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use of Internet and e-mail?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Size and weight of the cellphone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;3) &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Find cell phone on eBay&lt;/span&gt; (of course)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Browse the cell phone categories, OR&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Search via keywords&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;4) &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Buy with confidence&lt;/span&gt; (note eBay's safety precaution)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;"Ask seller a question"&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;note seller's feedbacks&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;buy through Paypal&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;if necessary, there's the Security &amp; Resolution Center&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-1751-2978-71/1?AID=5463217&amp;amp;PID=2353448&amp;mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fpages.ebay.com%2Fbuy%2Fguides%2Fcell-phones-buying-guide%2F"&gt;Read eBay's guide in details.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Additional notes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; on getting deals on cell phones&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before concluding, in step 3, you might be able to save more money from other online resources. Places such as &lt;a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/ae111biroiq589B9AAE5768E6C8D" target="_top" onmouseover="window.status='http://www.letstalk.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;"&gt;LetsTalk.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/a073y7B-53PSTVTUUYPRQSYQWSX" border="0" height="1" width="1" /&gt; and service providers offer some form of rebates whenever you buy a cell phone with a new plan. Such rebates are no different from what you can get from retail locations, i.e. you pay for the phone upfront, activate the service, mail-in the rebate form and get the rebate check later on.  In the end, depending on the amount of the rebate, you may be able to get the cellphone for free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A better online source, because of less hassle, is Amazon.com.  They give instant credit for some cellphones so that you don't have to send out for the rebates - &lt;a id="static_preview" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K2F9UO?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=newcell-20&amp;amp;link_code=as3&amp;amp;camp=211189&amp;creative=373489&amp;amp;creativeASIN=B000K2F9UO"&gt;your final price is simply $0.01&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, eBay remains as one of the better sources to buy "unlocked" cellphones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy hunting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Technorati Tags: &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/cellphone" rel="tag"&gt;cellphone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/cell+phone" rel="tag"&gt;cell phone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Guide+to+buy+a+cellphone" rel="tag"&gt;Guide to buy a cellphone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/How+to+buy+a+cell+phone" rel="tag"&gt;How to buy a cell phone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Tips+on+buying+cell+phone" rel="tag"&gt;Tips on buying a cell phone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="aboutsmall"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.del.icio.us/static/img/delicious.small.gif" /&gt; &lt;a onclick="window.open('http://del.icio.us/post?v=4&amp;noui&amp;jump=close&amp;url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&amp;title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title), 'delicious', 'toolbar=no,width=700,height=400'); return false;" href="http://del.icio.us/post"&gt;Save To del.icio.ous&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3717750542021991853-3311540565038883587?l=mynewcellphone.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717750542021991853/posts/default/3311540565038883587'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3717750542021991853/posts/default/3311540565038883587'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://mynewcellphone.blogspot.com/2007/03/guide-to-buying-cell-phone.html' title='Guide to buying a cell phone'/><author><name>Soren</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_yATxh46RxAA/R-OwTEpIC4I/AAAAAAAAAFI/eRi3W_VqAG8/S220/roy3.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3717750542021991853.post-1063514724032931659</id><published>2007-03-19T17:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-03-23T13:45:37.624-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tethered modem'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Phone BlackBerry'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shades of Black'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Carrier Sprint'/><title type='text'>BlackBerry 8703e</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;BlackBerry 8703e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Are you an urban professional?

You see 'em in black tie affairs of the wealthy and even in the eclectic world of goths. Also, black sports cars are preferred by many.
