Upgrading a Treo 700p to 755p (Free!) Because of a third-party firmware patch, it is now possible to install the Treo 755p's 1.0.7 firmware release on your Treo 700p. The release is mainly a bug-fix and stablity release, so don't expect new features (unless you consider not resetting all the time a feature!) Here's how to do it: 0) Make sure you're running the latest 700p update from Palm before you try to upgrade to the 755p version. As of this writing, that was v1.10. 1) Download the new ROM from this link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VPMGAJGF (You'll... read more
The most painful sins of cell phone usage: Ridiculous ringtones: This should just say "ringtones" because every phone on the planet has vibrate these days, but having to sit through "Fergalicious" on the train is particularly heinous. Most likely culprit: 13 - 19 year old girls. "Hey sorry - I've got another call, just a sec." We've all received important calls via call waiting, but for the other 99% of the time, just let it go.

AT&T allows new customers to sign-up for any of their calling plans (not pre-paid) at the listed rate (sometimes these plans are referred to as "sim-only" since you will need to purchase an AT&T sim card if you don't already have one). You will not get the discounted subsidized price for one of their phones, but for a lot of people, they either have their own unlocked phone or would rather buy a used one off ebay or just dislike the idea of being locked into a 2 year contract. You can do this over the phone or in person at an AT&T store. I suggest going in-store since... read more
Prepaid mobile plans are payment arrangements and packages designed to allow a customer to obtain mobile phone service without a contract or service agreement. Prepaid plans can be used to contain cost, utilize a phone line for a shorter time than a regular contract term (one or two years), and provide a low-cost entry into mobile phone usage.

All of the major carriers in the United States feature prepaid plans. Additionally there... read more
Laws on Talking on Cell Phones While Driving When trying to understand the laws on talking on cell phones while driving, you have to realize that these are not all internationally accepted.

Some jurisdictions allow the use of cell phones as long as you use a handsfree headset, particularly those with wireless Bluetooth technology. Others have banned the use of cell phones altogether while behind the wheel. United States of America There is an... read more
