Stop Scratching Your Head About Your New iPhone, Here’s The Solution


I finally jumped ship and left my Samsung Blackjack Window Mobile phone behind — largely because most if not all my original list of iPhone downsides has been taken care of this this latest iteration in the iPhone 4.

I haven’t received the iPhone case I purchased myself, nor have I bothered to pick-up the freebie Steve Jobs is giving away to quash his critics.    But neither does the trick for protection when the iPhone is stuck in a pocket with keys or coins or dropped or . . .

Here’s how to fool-scratch-proof your new Apple iPhone 4 (or Droid X…or HTC…or…).  Why do I love this solution?

  1. Invisible — doesn’t add any weight or bulk to the device
  2. Total coverage for protection — front and back of the phone is off limits for damage
  3. Improved grip (especially when taking photos, videos or when the phone is on the dash of the car)
  4. Affordable

(iphone + App Store) – iPhone + Blackberry = Blackberry App World


It looks like Blackberry has wised up and launched a new web portal to give Blackberry owners something iPhone users have been bragging about for the last couple of years — an app store where you can download custom apps for your phone.

Blackberry App World is a slick new platform for crackberry addicts to get more digital content and applications for their smartphones so they can use them for more than just email.

The App Store is new, so there aren’t as many apps available as there are for the Apple iPhone but still, you’ll find over 1,000 games to choose from in the Blackberry AppStore.

There is a Free Blackberry App category which list apps such as Facebook, Pandora, Dictionary, and some other useful apps most BB users will want to download immediately.

Do you have a Blackberry? What applications have you downloaded recently from the Blackberry App Store?  Please leave a comment below and let us know which apps you have downloaded.

How To Send Free Text Messages From Your Apple iPhone (or any other cell phone)


The original iPhone cellular plan from AT&T included 200 free SMS Text Messages per month…

But AT&T and Apple got wise as they started to sell millions of new iPhones and no longer include free text messaging in the data plan.

Now, you have to pay $5 or more to add on buckets of text messages or else you’re stuck paying $0.15 per text message a la carte.

And especially if you have a teen daughter that did nothing but send 10,000+ text messages in a single month at school, home, and everywhere else, you’ll be stuck with a massive cell phone bill (imagine getting a cell phone bill from Verizon Wireless for $4,756.25 in a single month?) you need to know about this free service.

Here’s a great tip for how to send free text message from the iPhone WITHOUT any additional text message plan.

Of course this also works on any other web-enabled smart phone like Windows Mobile devices… Read the rest of this entry »

Using Your Blackberry for More Than e-Mail

Blackberry = email.  Period.  Right?

 

With the introduction of the Blackberry Curve and other models, RIM has tried to break out of that “email” shell and bring web browsing and other smart phone features into the minds of the customer.

 

 

But the problem so far has been that there just aren’t many useful 3rd party applications to help Blackberry addicts use it for anything other than that good ol’ email application. . . here’s another attempt to help the Blackberry user to try something new. . . Read the rest of this entry »

Customizing your cellphone is tons of fun since you are making it your own.
