My friends at ATT have been busy. Not only busy obtaining some cool new phones like the tiny HTC Aria, but also working on some cool mobile apps to keep us busy while out and about. Here is a list of the new goodies to check out. You can download them all using the links [...]
Since I love testing out phones, or upgrading my own phone to the latest and greatest, I sometimes end up with a few phones sitting around. Some are worth giving to friends and family if they are still worth something, but sometimes no one wants them. You should not throw those old phones away. They [...]
As you all undoubtedly know, I am a phone freak. I have tested several phones. I own an iPhone 3Gs and an HTC Evo. I am always watching out for the next best thing in smartphones. I have not yet gotten an iPhone 4. I don’t think I’ll be upgrading to one of those. Actually, the iPhone [...]
I wrote a while ago about using a service such as http://www.broadbandexpert.com to help find the best mobile broadband in your area. I had checked out a few high speed internet providers in my area to pick one. For the time being, I settled on using Comcast High Speed 2 Go as my service. Since then [...]
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Nielsen Research. All opinions are 100% mine. As we know by now, Nielsen is all about data and research. We recognize the name from the fancy boxes that some families install in their homes to track TV viewing. This is what reports the ratings [...]
Are you still in the dark ages? Is the screen on your phone so small that you can barely see who’s calling? Is your phone way too big to fit in your pocket? Do you have to wait until you get home to check your email because you cannot do it from your phone? If [...]
Tiffany!! (@redbonegirl97) Here is the winning comment:
I have been testing the HTC Droid Incredible for over a month. And while testing it, the Droid X was shoved into my hand. The good news is that the Incredible can hold it’s own against the Droid X. It is still a full featured Android device and perfect for those that prefer a smaller [...]
The title of this post is courtesy of my friend, Kim Molfdosky who had driven the same Traverse the week before to Canada. And actually after I finished it, it was passed on to Melisa (with one S) who took it on a trip over the 4th of July weekend. Yes, that Traverse gets around. I wonder [...]
We are just 3 days away from the release of the new, powerful, fun Motorola Droid X smartphone on Verizon Wireless. As stated in my previous post, I received one for review back on June 23rd. This is a really awesome device. It is very similar in appearance, weight, and specs to the Evo on [...]
Well, I got word earlier today that I did not win the Lose the Laptop challenge in June. Booooooooo!! But, congrats to those that have won already. Twincident in April, HighTechDad in May, and TechSavvyMama in June. But I want to win!!! This month is the Grand Prize month. The prize at stake is $5000 [...]
The Motorola H17txt Bluetooth earpiece is a really great, small, very functional earpiece that will keep you safe while driving and keep you talking while out and about. I started testing this one right after testing the Jawbone Icon, so it was a useful to compare the two. The Motorola H17txt can definitely hold it’s [...]
So, it does not take long before manufacturers hope on board and start making accessories for new smartphones when they come out. Heck, before they come out. The list of Motorola Droid X Accessories is quickly growing. At the press conference we got a taste of a couple of very cool accessories such at the [...]
Earlier today Verizon, Motorola, Google, and Adobe in cahoots together unveiled the newest version of the Motorola Droid, the Droid X. I was lucky enough to be in attendance via remote broadcast here in Chicago. The specs are incredible, the screen is incredible, and the features are incredible. Motorola has ditched the slide out keyboard [...]
Are you using Google Voice yet? If not, you should be. And now is your chance to sign up if you do not already have a number. Google just opened up the service to all US users. You can now sign up without bugging for your friends for an invite, tweeting about open invites, or [...]
This morning I posted on Examiner.com how I was excitedly counting the minutes until the iOS4 update was released. The update was released at 12:oo pm central today. I had already backed up my phone which I swear took an hour, so a few minutes after 12 as soon as my iTunes said that iOS4 [...]
This post is also posted on Examiner.com. Earlier today I tried going through the pre-order system on Apple’s website and I was greeted by a couple of error messages as I tried to work my way through the system. There were complaints of the same issues all over Twitter and Google. Several users had to [...]
With the recent release and super fast sell out of the HTC Evo on Sprint and the upcoming release of the new iPhone 4, phone users have a lot great options to choose from. Manufacturers that make and sell phones have really stepped up their game (although some are slower than others) I just tried to [...]
Otterbox recently sent me a couple of awesome smartphone cases to be included in my gift guide (being added when I finish this post). I received one for my iPhone and one for a Blackberry Curve to try out. First I will talk about the iPhone case since this is the one that I am [...]

And now… they are jumping on the [...]
YAYY!!! As I mentioned before I had been on the hunt for Mobile Broadband service. I had tested Clear 4G for a bit, loved it.. but the range across the US was not quite wide enough at that time, although they have expanded now. I compared their wireless broadband plans to those from some of [...]
Ok, so yes.. I know I have a problem. Admitting is the first step right? I recently talked about my custom iPhone case that I ordered. I LOVE it! This is like the oh… I don’t know… 8th or so case that I have had for my phone. I love changing up the look to [...]
I’m excited to have been asked to participate in this year’s lose the laptop contest. There are 10 contestants. Some participated last year as well, some of us are new. We all come from different “phone backgrounds” and now we each have the task of falling in love with the HTC Tilt 2. Our task…each [...]

It includes a cool game called LingoBingo!, some film shorts called Days of the Week in which cute little characters move around their offices and face the trials of the day at work. [...]
A while ago I wrote about Pexagon having a special on custom iPhone and Blackberry cases. It was a paid post, but I actually ordered one because I loved the look of them so much. I just wanted to show it off. Please ignore my one shiny fingerprint on the back! Isn’t it cute?? I [...]
I love fun apps for my iPhone that can keep my kids busy in a pinch. Although, I have this growing fear that they will somehow destroy my phone like the last time i wrote about reviewing a kids app. But today was a huge step for me. I handed one of my 6 year [...]
Fo2go is a cool iPhone app that allows you to quickly and easily upload media including photos, videos, and sound files to various places around the web. It’s a cool alternative to PixelPipe if you do not need all the extra options to fumble through. You can set up Contacts to email photos to multiple [...]
