The Motorola i1 is one such handset–it’s the first Google Android phone for Boost Mobile, and it’s also the first Google Android smartphone to run on Nextel’s iDEN network. It’s quite a rugged device–for a touch screen phone anyway–and it’s also the only Android phone to support push-to-talk, which is a big deal if you’re a Boost or Nextel customer. However, the i1 is saddled with Android 1.5, which is a relatively obsolete version of the operating system, and the iDEN network doesn’t have fast data speeds. However, Motorola may release a software update in the future, so we’ll keep hoping for improvements on that front. Overall, it’s certainly not the best Android phone we’ve seen, but it makes for a serviceable touch-screen smartphone, especially if you’re an iDEN die-hard. The Motorola i1 is available for 9.99, but bear in mind that price without a contract from Boost Mobile. Design While it might seem like a run-of-the-mill Android phone at first glance, Motorola dressed the i1 up with a decidedly rugged spin. Indeed, the handset is clad in what feels like a rubber and hard plastic casing, and the overall phone feels sturdier than most. Measuring 4.65 inches long by 2.34 inches wide by 0.5 inch thick, the i1 is not too heavy at 4.63 ounces, and its back cover has a soft touch surface for a more comfortable feel in the hand.

a review of the LG Ally which is a new phone from LG LG might be a bit late to the game, but its new Android 2.1 powered Ally for Verizon is a nice piece of kit. It features a good touchscreen display, a very nice keyboard, and some genuinely nice LG developed widgets and UI tweaks. With speed like that of Motorola’s DROID, the Ally is looking pretty good
If you’re in the market for a new cellphone, now is a great time to go shopping. Cellular carriers and resellers are constantly offering special offers. Some companies offer free cellphones (after rebates), calling plans with thousands of minutes, etc.
With all these ads, where do you start? You can go to a local wireless store and see the latest makes and models. You can also research a variety of cellphones on the Internet. If you go to a wireless store, be prepared to spend some time, energy, and gas.
If you want to shop from home or the office, and avoid any sales hassles, you can shop for a new cellphone on the Internet. You’ll save time, money, and gas, and possibly get a better deal on a new cellphone.
Three factors will determine how much you will pay for a new cellphone: 1.) PRICE, 2.) FEATURES, and 3.) CALLING PLAN.
If you’re on a tight budget and don’t want to pay anything up front for a cellphone, look for cellphone offers with instant rebates. The instant rebate amount is deducted from the cellphone’s purchase price when you order.
If the cellphone you want costs some money up front, look for cellphone offers with mail-in rebates. You’ll pay the purchase price of the cellphone when you order, and receive a mail-in rebate coupon.
Some cellphone offers promote rebates as much as $100.00 or more. Mail-in rebate checks can take several weeks to arrive, and they’re great if you don’t mind waiting for them. If and when you get a rebate check, it’s like getting cash back. For example, if your cellphone’s purchase price was $100.00, and you receive a $100.00 rebate check, your cost after the rebate is zero.
Cellphones with few features cost less than cellphones with advanced features. If you just want to make calls, you don’t need a cellphone with advanced features. If you’re going to take pictures, download videos, music, and e-mails, you’ll need a high-end model with advanced features like a QWERTY keyboard, camera, large video display, MP3 player, and more.
The last and most important factor is the calling plan. Plans differ from carrier to carrier and you have to decide which plan is best for you. Think how you will be using the phone regularly before choosing a plan. You should estimate how many minutes you will use each day during peak hours, which are typically from 6am-9pm, Monday to Friday. For example, if you can limit your talk time to 30 minutes a day, that comes out to approximately 600 minutes per month.
To get the best deal, look for a plan with the lowest monthly rate and the most minutes per month. Get a plan with more minutes than you’ll need to avoid costly overage charges. Monthly rates of some plans offering the same number of minutes per month could vary. Make sure to look for a plan that offers free long distance, weeknight, and weekend calls. This plan allows you to talk nationwide for a long time at night and on weekends.
If your relatives, friends, and co-workers use the same carrier, you might want to select that carrier. Some carriers offer unlimited mobile-to-mobile calling to other people on the same network or other money-saving features for free or a flat fee.
Some plans don’t offer certain cellphone models, and not all plans are available in all areas. If the plan you choose doesn’t offer the cellphone model you want, search for other cellphones that are offered by the plan. The cellphone you want may be offered by another plan from the same carrier or by a plan from a different carrier.
Great cellphone deals are out there, if you take the time and effort to look for them.
There are very few people in this world who posses the kind of social graces intrinsic to the characters in an Austen novel. Some would argue the children of the “information revolution” lack social propriety altogether. Despite the rumours that etiquette is dead, many of us do manage to exercise a little common courtesy toward our fellow man. After all etiquette exists simply to make the whole society caper a little less confrontational. The introduction of wireless communication has taken social interaction to an unprecedented level. Mobile technology allows people to communicate regardless of time or location, giving rise to a raft of contemporary etiquette concerns. Foremost among these concerns is consideration for the sensibilities of those in our physical presence when we take a call. Is it impolite, for example, to conduct a phone conversation whilst engaged in a carnal act? The contemporary socialite must also extend courtesy to the absent caller. Is it offensive to conduct a telephone conversation whilst using the toilet? This article offers guidance to the bewildered and brutish.
1. It is a truth universally acknowledged that cell phones must be switched off in the theatre. There is absolutely no excuse. Offenders shall be tarred and feathered. Obviously, this also applies to the cinema, the symphony and spoken word and performance art. Rock concerts and hip-hop shows are generally considered exempt, however, a punter with his fingers in his ears screaming “Huh? huh? huh?” into his cell is a frightful sight.
2. When piloting an automobile, use a hands-free device or resist answering incoming calls. Not only is it dangerous to talk and drive, it is illegal in many countries. Care should be taken not to incite road rage in other motorists. Furthermore, chatting vacuously on your cell while mounting the footpath will pique pedestrians.
3. Conducting loud cell phone conversations on public transport should be avoided at all costs. To believe that other commuters ought to be interested in your conversation is narcissistic at best, to subject travelers to your confabulation is an indulgence. Moreover, as one clever blogger puts it, there is a special circle of Hell reserved for people who, upon buying a new phone, cycle through every available tone on the bus or train on the way home.
4. When in the company of others, neither take nor make telephone calls. Nothing is more irksome than being spurned by a friend whose frequent cell phone conversations take precedence over live tete-a-tete. Answering an incoming call in an interview or business meeting is a faux-pas that is to be avoided at all costs.
To observe basic cell phone etiquette is neither difficult nor inconvenient. Technology such as cell phones create many possibilities for the advancement of society; society is founded upon mutual regard for one another. Always refer to the fundamental principle of good manners: treat others as you yourself wish to be treated. As for holding a cell phone conversation on the toilet…ignorance is bliss.
