cell-phone

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Boost Mobile. All opinions are 100% mine.

With the economy in such a rut, many of you might feel like you can’t handle signing a “normal” cell phone contract. You still need a phone, though – for practical purposes. I can think of very few who don’t actually carry their own personal (or business) communications devices. Still, long-term contracts can be sticky – and less than optimal in some situations.

I came across a very interesting post a little while ago, over on Geeks. The author, Will, is asking our opinions as to what place social media should play in our educational systems. Will mentioned that his high school principal has asked students for ideas as to how social media could be incorporated into education in general. He then asks for your input and ideas. I’d love to see a high rate of responses to this thread, which is why I chose to highlight it here.

I have a problem: I get NFR copies for many iPhone apps.

This, itself, isn’t an issue – but the iPhone can only display up to 144 apps at one time. This limitation is artificial, as I have an insane amount of free space on the device. I currently have 250 apps in my iTunes library (out of tens of thousands available storewide). Many of these great apps can no longer be synced because of this imposed limitation. Consequently, I’m not carefree with what I choose to install on the iPhone anymore.

Ronni was a speaker at Gnomedex last year. She is one amazing lady, and a good friend. She has an excellent question, sent to me recently via email. Sadly, I don’t have the answer. However, I’m hoping one of you out there will know if there’s something like what she’s looking for.

I am getting used to having dropped calls on the iPhone 3G. This thing drops calls like clockwork. It doesn’t seem like a tower problem. I can be sitting still, and lose a call. Even if the phone shows full signal, it still will drop. I’m hoping the upcoming firmware update will solve some of this. I’ve never had a mobile device with this many issues. What’s a Geek to do to boost reception? When I was given the opportunity to review the Cell Ranger, I could choose between the USB connection, or the kind that plugs into a cigarette lighter in a car. I decided to go with USB for a couple of reasons. For one, I’ve got USB ports everywhere. For another, I have an inverter for my car that will allow me to plug USB devices in while I’m in the car.

I used to love plopping down into a bean bag chair. It was just kind of fun to throw yourself into one. I’m not only talking about bean bags to take a trip down memory lane. I happened to buy one the other day that is designed for mobile devices. I have this plastic holder for my iPhone, but it just sat there all stiff like. It wasn’t a very happy and comfortable device. Also, when it rings, it would vibrate in a most annoying way while sitting in that plastic holder. So, I decided to grab myself a Bean Bag to let my iPhone rest in comfort.

What ringtone do you have on your mobile device right now? Did you download it from the Internet, or are you using one that came with your phone. It’s so much better to go online to get one for your phone… for free. We’ve done many of these types of videos in the past. Today, I have a new one to tell you about.

Yes, you can do more than make calls and send messages with your phone. But can it do anything more than that? One viewer claims that the following are possible:

There’s at least one Scott who has subscribed to my videos on YouTube (which is quickly supplanting any numbers I could ever hope to drive through iTunes)…

Now, not to waste your time, but i had a thought watching the following video and figured i would write in for whatever the reason is that my subconscious has deemed important.

Just got word that Amazon is starting to sell cell phone plans through their long-standing Associates program. This means YOU can make money by referring people to any provider that sells through Amazon:

So, here’s what my brother (who wants to start blogging at some point) had to say about Apple’s iPhone:

This is one of the coolest pieces of technology to come out in a while… it’s like having a mini-laptop in your hands. The ultimate media device. The catch? Cingular has the rights at this point in time (they have the worst wireless phone service). If Apple had any brains, they would get this product in the home of every American family. After 6 months of exclusive rights to Cingular, they should release an iPhone on Verizon, US Cellular, every wireless provider.

Vonage doesn’t live up to the hype – end of story. Hussey’s getting huffy about it, too. Tris is dropping Vonage and having to incur a $150 disconnection fee in the process! It’s as easy to get out of the contract as it is to get motherf*cking snakes off a motherf*cking plane:
