Thanks to Boy Genius, Deej and I got to go down toward the Ferry Building in San Francisco and try our luck at winning brand new BlackBerry Storms in the First Touch Storm Grab.   The way it works is that they blow 3 kinds of tickets...

Last week, Hop-on (a company which claims to make a "disposable" cell phone) announced that it would be releasing an Android phone this year at CES.  And supposedly it's going to cost less than $200.  Who thinks they'll actually do...

Okay...well...it's been more than a month, but I finally got off my lazy tail feathers and got a new battery.  AND!  It didn't explode.  :-)   I'm happy to report that this particular LG Shine is performing quite well again.  But I am...

Featured Debate 8   How receptive would you be to having part of your monthly plan fees subsidized by advertising, such as agreeing to receive advertisements via text messages or embedded ads in data services, if it would discount your...

A post came out just a little while ago on engadget.  They just got their hands on the Android device.   "So far we like what we see. The phone is surprisingly thinner than we thought it would be, and it feels pretty solid in your hand...

According to a cnet news article that came out yesterday (and a Nielsen Mobile survey that also came out yesterday), Americans send more text messages than make phone calls.   "For the second quarter of 2008, U.S. mobile subscribers sent...

Well...the saga of my phone continues (not really).  The slider bit is improved but there's still more resistence than there used to be.  The real issue now is that I think somehow the "unfortunate incident" took it's toll on my battery or...

I don't have an iPhone myself (tears) so I haven't used Twitterific myself...   I'm curious, what has your experience been like with the ad supported version?  How are people reacting to the free vs. paid versions?
