Blackberry Curve 8300 Beats 3G IPhone in Sales

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Endgadget announced today that the Blackberry Curve 8300 beat IPhone in sales today. The 3g iPhone is second place and two other Blackberry phones come in at 3rd and 4th, Storm and Pearl.

Other Blackberry news is that the new Blackberry Curve 8900 will finally be coming to AT&T stores.  I guess they had them at T-Mobile first.

If you do have a Blackberry, you may want to find out about Blackberry Apworld, which is akin to the iPhone app store.

gPhone gets closer: Google talks with Verizon

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

There is evidence that the gPhone or Google Phone is getting closer to being a reality.  This article from NY Times talks about the discussions between the two mega corporations.

The article talks about how agreements on the deal are potentially just 2 months away.  Does that mean release of an internet ready phone that has free web browsing supported by Google ads is only 2 months away??  If so, sign me up.

My daughter accidently racked up $40 in cell phone internet bills last month when playing with my husband’s new “bells and whistles” phone.  Granted, my husband was responsible for knowing what the costs were associated with his phone or to not let her play with it, but it is that kind of “sticker shock when you get the bill” that makes many people like me even afraid to think about using cell phone net service.  If I know it will be free then I won’t hesitate to use it.

I would love to use my cell phone to email people, to comparison shop and to find prices of stuff on Ebay when I am out garage sailing or thrift store hunting.  That is ..for free.  In my town we still have free wi-fi city wide so that would make the experience even sweeter.

Welcome to my Cheap Cell Phone Blog

Friday, September 5th, 2008

I am starting this blog since I found out cell phones had a lot of news and my Cheap Cell Phone site did not have the room to add more pages easily.  I will discuss cell phone news, especially news about smart phones, Iphones and GPhones.
