It's been talked about a little hear and there, but in most cases it can be pretty expensive.  $60 per month for Verizons 3G Mifi router.  Which is pretty nice, knowing that you will mostly have a good connection and speed wherever you may go.  There is also Clear Internet's Clear Spot WiMax Router.  If you are lucky to live in a city with Clear internet available I would choose that.  Because unless you are going to be going out of the state a lot Clear's Home Internet and Mobile Internet plan is actually less than $60.  All you need is to buy or lease the 3"x5" WiMax router and the Clear USB Modem.  Its perfect for using it with an Ipod touch or any other portable device that uses wifi.  Use Skype or any other Voip service and you have a phone.

I am going to try this out hopefully someday, and if I do I will definitely tell you how it is.

          FeedMyInbox is one of the simplest websites to use.  All you need is a website that has an RSS feed (look for the blue or orange icon in your url address bar) and an email address.  You type in the website and your email address and hit submit.  You should get a confirmation email, and you will receive an email about your site within 24 hours of confirmation.  It is useful because there are some news sites that I will forward to my phone so I can read it when I want.  This is free and requires little work to setup.  Check it out for yourself with the provided link above and get daily news delivered right to your email.
          And with my post on how to Receive Email on Any Phone, this is available to everyone.  If you have any comments please leave them below and thanks for reading.

          Thinking about going on an international trip or changing GSM carriers?  Well you'll need to unlock your phone to use it with compatible carriers.  Now there are many shady sites that will supposedly give you a subsidy unlock code for your phone.  Most of them have a small fee from five to ten dollars, but I don't understand why you would trust such a site.  For all you know the company may give you a fake code, and I wouldn't want to take that chance.  What most people don't know is that their wireless carrier will give you the code for no cost.  Just as long as you have had an active line for at least 90 days and you have your phone's IMEI number.  The IMEI number is normally found on the back of your phone under the battery.  If not found there you can obtain it by typing *#06# in your phone.

          Next if you are a T-Mobile user you just call the customer service number (1-800-937-8997) and request for the subsidy unlock code.  They will normally ask if you will be using the phone internationally and you just agree (even if you aren't hehe).  And that is it, they will ask for an email address so they can send you the unlock code and you should receive it within 24 hours.  Once you have your code, the quickest way to unlock your phone is to put in a sim card from a different carrier and when it starts up it will ask for the subsidy code then.

          Now if you have an AT&T phone that you want unlocked the process is very similar.  But one thing is that they suggest you have an international roaming feature on your account, to obtain the code.  But other than that you just call their customer service (1-800-331-0500) and ask for the subsidy unlock code.  I am not experienced with their process, but here is a site where one person explains it in detail: Unlock AT&T Phone.  Now if for some reason you are not able to obtain an unlock code for your AT&T phone, I've heard that T-Mobile sometimes unlocks AT&T phones as well, I'm not sure if it is free, but it's worth a try.  

          I am a T-Mobile customer and just recently unlocked my Razr 2, and the process took around 12 minutes on the phone.  I really like this process much better than entrusting a site i've never heard of with my money and maybe even my phone number.  I suggest that you try this process before any other one.  Thanks for reading and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them.

Well if you are into video games, then you should definitely check out the Gamefly end of the year sale.  Free shipping on every used game and save up to 50%!  Here's the link: Gamefly Sale, and it is going on till January 4, 2010.  So order quickly!

          Then you need to keep your eye on these sites.  AppShopper and 148Apps, they both post apps that have recently changed in price.  As well as provide ITunes store links so you can easily download them.  It's perfect because for people like me who don't want to spend a lot of money (if any) on apps, they save me from spending when I don't need to.  I've downloaded about 15 different apps that would have cost me around $20.  It's really smart shopping and every Ipod touch and Iphone user should know about it.  Everything from GPS, games, and utilities apps are shown on the sites.  So you may find an app that you've never even heard of or thought of.  Each site is updated daily, so you wont miss a thing.
          Just think of all of the money you'll save.  You could use it to buy a case, so you can prevent scratches from your very precious and delicate device.  Just thought I'd post this quick notice so you readers could start keeping money in your wallet.  Thanks for reading, and as always feel free to leave a comment or two.

Everyone has been in a situation where their phone or media player dies when they need it the most. And usually you aren't lucky enough to be around a plug-in or have your power adapter, but with this compact and easy to use charger you can be at ease. It uses a rechargeable lithium ion battery that includes a USB to Mini USB adapter. Seems like a good idea for those long road trips.
Check out this review on AnythingButIpod's page: Duracell Instant Charger Review
I think this charger should run you around $25, so I'd give it a look. It even works with Ipods, and has an on and off switch to preserve its charge as best as possible.  Here's a link for Amazon's description, and customer reviews: Duracell Instant Charger
If you have used this or know someone who has, please leave a comment tell me your idea of it. Thanks for reading.

Ever gaze at a person who is checking their email on their blackberry and think how nice that must be? If I had that I would be more efficient with my work, or would be able to communicate to more people. The only thing that is stopping you from getting email for your phone is that it's is not worth the money (that is my reason) or maybe your phone doesn't support it. Now, there is a free solution for it. The only requirements you'll need is a phone with a text messaging plan (preferably unlimited Texting plan) and an email account with email forwarding. There are many email services with free forwarding such as Gmail. As of recent Yahoo does not allow you to use email forwarding for free, so unless you want to pay $20 a year for it, I suggest you use a free email forwarding provider. Now after you have an email account with email forwarding, you need to set it to forward your emails to your phone. Your address depends on your wireless service provider, here is a list:

T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
Cingular: phonenumber@cingularme.com
Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com
Verizon: phonenumber@vtext.com
Nextel: phonenumber@messaging.nextel.com

Where it says "phonenumber" you put your 10 digit phone number (including area code). And after you set your email to forward to your phone's email address your are done! The great part about this is that you can even reply to emails as well. So with an unlimited texting plan, feel free to email as much as you want, right from your phone.
Have any more questions about setting your phone up? Feel free to leave a comment and I will respond as soon as I can. I hope you enjoyed this post.

Not a fan of swaptree? Well there are other sites out there, like Goozex. I must say, it is a nice site. The main difference is that you exchange games for points instead of trading game for game. You can trade games from a variety of consoles, from Dreamcast to Ps3. This site is great if you have recently released games because you will probably trade them quickly and for a lot of points. See, when you post a game that you want or would like to trade, you have to wait in line. So after everyone in front of you has traded their game, then you will get the chance to send yours. So, if your game is outdated, then you may be waiting for a while and only scrape up 200 points for it. Lucky for you though, every game is worth at least 100 points. The points for new and popular games are higher than older (as you would expect).
With that said, you can get points by trading your games, or just buying them with your credit card. 100 points are $5, 200 points are $10 and so on. You do get a small discount when you buy 1050 points or more at one time, which will cost you at least $50. To trade your games, you post them in your "Offer Queue." From there you have to patiently wait your turn in line. Depending how many people are in front of you and how popular the game is, it can take days to months for you to reach first position. Once you are in first Goozex will look for a buyer. And as soon as it has found one, you get some options on when you will send your game, or if you don't want to send it at all. The one thing I really like about Goozex compared to Swaptree, is that it doesn't seem to penalize you when you don't want to go through with a trade. For shipping you can print out one of their labels, which cost you about three dollars, or use your own method. As soon as the person receives the game he or she will give you feedback on the overall condition, and that is when you get your points. Also while putting games in your offer queue, you should put games in your "Request Queue" as well. You will still be able to move ahead in line, even without enough points to get a game. Once you have enough points for a game in your request queue and you are the first person in line, Goozex will alert you when someone is going to ship it to you. Now along with points you need to have tokens, in order to get a game. Tokens are a dollar each, but you have to buy at least five at a time. As you buy in bigger bulk you do get a discount.
As for trading movies, I'm sure the process is the same, although I don't us the feature. I do know you can trade DVD's, Blu Ray, And PSP movies. If you use it, tell me if there are any differences. Thanks for reading, and please feel free to ask any questions.
Also if you do decide to sign up, PLEASE click this referral link: Sign Up/Referral

Okay you and I know that nothing is really free, but this program is pretty close. It's called Swagbucks (pretty catchy ain't it) and you get points that can buy all types of prizes. Now all you have to do to obtain points is simply use the search engine at the website. So as you use it regularly you will obtain points while you search. Now what is great about this is that both Google and Ask.com search engines are used. I always use Google when I am searching for something, so this is a really nice touch for me. Now when you create an account that you use with the website, you get three complimentary points. As you regularly use the website your points will slowly began to accumulate digital dollars (points) that can be used for buying a simple desktop wallpaper or maybe go all the way and get an iphone (which cost 3800 points).
Now if you have seen Mycokerewards.com, then this store is just like that, but with better prizes. Also this site is totally free, which is the best thing about it. No monthly charges or membership fees! My biggest problem about the store is that you aren't able to enter searches for anything in the store. But hopefully they will update the store and add that feature soon.
If this sounds even mildly interesting to you then sign up and search away. Now it plainly says on their website, when you sign up, that doing a large amounts of searches at one time will not really increase your chances of getting points, so just use it like you would Google or Yahoo and you'll be able to get what you want in no time. I am fairly new to this too, and only have 10 points, but I am getting some at least every other day. Now if you would like to sign up for it please click on the ad above because it will count as a referral from me. And once you start using it please keep me informed on how many points you have saved up. I'd love to see how much people can save. Thanks for reading and if you have any questions or comments, leave a post below and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Hello everyone, haven't posted anything in quite sometime I know. I'm sorry about that but I'm a little more busy than I used to be, but I hope to keep this blog up a little more than I have.
Anyways, recently I was given a blackberry curve 8320 to replace my old phone and at first I was thinking that I didn't really need it, I'm not a business man. Though, after messing with it for awhile I realized that its more than just for a strict business man. Discovering the App World, made me think I was holding an Iphone. Sadly without a data plan (yes I don't have data plan with a blackberry, crazy right?) I can't access the store. On the other hand, I can still download many apps over the air and from my computer to my blackberry. While I was searching around I found that www.crackberry.com and www.blackberryforums.com were the most helpful to me. Crackberry has great helpful tips and tricks for first time blackberry users. I think it is great how the phone has shortcuts and I can set speed dial to every key! (except the function keys of course).
Now the device memory is very limited and it is a must to buy a micro sd card or else you will lose messages and your call logs. I bought an 8gb micro sdhc card from www.newegg.com for only $18. Usually I see those cards at prices near the hundreds.
Oh I almost forgot, I have encountered two problems with the phone. One that I fixed was with the camera, where I would get a black screen when i turn the camera on and had to take out the battery to get rid of. Another smaller, but annoying issue is that sometimes the phone's top speaker didn't make any sound. It comes and goes, hasn't happened to me in about a week.
That concludes my life with a blackberry, thanks for reading. If you have any questions about how I fixed my camera problem or any tips for me I'd be happy to read them.

Ever rocked out so hard on your plastic drums and/or guitar and then all of a sudden your whammy bar keeps sagging down, or maybe your red pad is unresponsive. Don't throw it away and spend $70 on a new guitar or even $100 on new drums, just take a visit to powertuneplus. Where for a little time and maybe a small price, you can fix those broken drums or guitar on your own. I know your thinking "well I can't fix anything to save my life!" Don't worry there are photos and written instructions for each step of the process to fix your problem. Before you get started mending things on your own, you should try and get your equipment replaced by Activision first (even if your 90 day warranty is up).
Now if you fail to replace your broken controller then please proceed to the website above and repair it yourself. What is nice about the website is that each repair guide is detailed with an estimated difficulty level and estimated time. For now there are only 3 guitar and 2 drum fixes that are addressed. As more problems are discovered, I'm sure more fixes will be found. All of the guides work for only Guitar Hero World Tour accessories, but one fix does work for the Guitar Hero 3 Les Paul guitar.
I haven't tried any of the repairs myself because I haven't needed to fix any of my guitar hero controllers, but I will definitely use the website if any problems occur. I believe that it is a great thing that I can easily and quickly find help on problems like this and I hope you use it to its full advantage. Thanks for reading and if you have any questions, leave a comment below.

Man, remember that day you first powered on your macintosh computer and started using safari. The pages would load faster than you could blink. But sadly as time went on, you filled your computer with more and more files. Those files took up space, and now anything you do on your computer seems to take an eternity. Well nothing can act like new forever, but there are ways to bring your computer to a reasonable speed. Small things like deleting unneeded files, keeping your software up to date, and remembering to close applications after you are done using them; can help speed up everything. Of course this is just a brief list. More ideas on how you can quicken up your computer, is from Christopher Lee's post. I've been making sure my desktop is clean and I have noticed that closing my applications really does help with my speed. Hope this post was helpful to some people and if you have any questions just leave a comment.

I'm not just talking about poorly made games that know one has heard of, I'm saying REAL GAMES such as Burnout Paradise, MLB 2k9, Crysis: Warhead, Bioshock and MORE! Picture yourself jumping across rooftops on Mirror's Edge and then your friend sends you a message about playing MLB 2k9, but you don't own the game. Pshh no need to get out of your chair, just purchase the game RIGHT THEN AND THERE! The game streams from their server to your OnLive console, so to experience high definition gaming, you need a good internet connection (the biggest pet peeve for me). I don't want to have to buy some expensive router just for OnLive, but I don't think anyone will have to or else the service wont sell.
Now a little more information about it is that the service works through Windows XP/Vista, Mac (Intel) computers and the OnLive console (of course). For playing on the computer you just need to download a (I'm hoping free) browser plug-in and that's it. The console seems to be very small from photos i've seen (even smaller than the controller itself) and has two USB ports for controllers, keyboard, or even a mouse. It also supports up to four wireless controllers and four bluetooth headsets, which makes for simple gaming. The controller reminds me of the xbox 360's, but without the middle xbox guide button. The four buttons on the top right spell out LIVE, which is kind of nice because it is a word you can remember in your head to help you get used to the buttons.
So, even though I wont be waiting in line to get this exceptional creation, I will be trying it out whenever I get the chance at a local best buy, or my friends house. Anyone interested in trading in their trusted Sony PS3 or Microsoft Xbox 360 for this new idea? Leave comments below. Also if you want to check out the website here's the link: OnLive and if you REALLY like this product then sign-up for the beta program, and try it out on your computer (I don't think you can test the console itself yet), but for those who love their keyboards and mouses (or mice) then sign right up. They start selecting testers in the summer, so hurry up. There's no telling how many people they will accept.

                                

I've always thought that touchscreen phones were one of the greatest ideas ever thought of, but one thing every phone lacks, is the physical buttons.  Without actual buttons being there, it is impossible to type things without looking at the screen, like a person's phone number for instance.  Well people at Google have been working on an idea to solve that problem.  This idea started when they realized that there were many visually impaired people that used touchscreen phones everyday and that there needed to be more accessible controls towards them.  

So the concept is that wherever you touch the screen, it turns into a five.  Next just press/hold the screen and slide up for 2, or right for 6, or diagonal to 1 or 3, etc.  The phone will not only recognize the input, but also read out the number so you can make sure it's the correct number.  It sounds like a fairly easy thing to do for me and as long as you know the number keypad configuration you will be set (I'm sure everyone already knows it).  

I like how they are making sure that there phone can be used by anyone.  As far as I know Google is the only company working on concepts like this, but who knows Apple could be working on something like this behind closed doors.  I'm not sure if this feature will be coming out anytime soon, or if at all, but if it does I want to be one of the first to try it out.  Check out the video above to see it for yourself.

First off, I'm sorry its been 4 days since my last post.  I've been really busy and haven't had time to create posts.  Now back to the main reason I started this post, these headphones are called Beats By Dr.Dre (created by Monster).  They are the style of headphones that cover your whole ear and from the reviews I've read, they are significantly better than expected.  It took seven years for Dr.Dre and Monster to create these headphones.  All that I've heard about them is that they produce amazingly clear sound.  No matter if you're listening to rap, rock, or your grandfathers music.  The bass is said not to distort the music and even songs without bass, sound great.  Along with the headphones, 2 cables come with it, a normal sized cable and one compatible for the Iphone (3.5mm).   Thankfully these headphones were designed with the Iphone in mind because the Iphone cable has an integrated microphone, and a pause button to stop music when A call comes up.  As for the noise canceling, they are comparable to Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones.  Now for the moment you've been waiting for the cost of these headphones is: $349.00 DOLLARS.  No I didn't misplace the decimal point.  Now in my opinion I wouldn't really think about spending more than $70 bucks for a pair of headphones, but I can understand some people wanting to have great noise canceling headphones, especially ones that work as a phone headset.  I haven't ever seen these in person, so I can't exactly judge to see if they are worth the price.  Would you buy these headphones?  Would you even think about buying any headphones at such a price?  Check them out at this link: Beats By Dre or head over to amazon to see their description with customer reviews: Beats By Dre Amazon  Leave your reasons in comments below.
