I carried a BlackBerry for about four years and loved it. I finally caved in and got a Samsung Galaxy Android phone, which is also fantastic. The thing I miss most about my old BlackBerry is its physical keyboard.

If you’re not under contract with your mobile phone carrier and not hemmed in by an installment plan you can’t pay off quickly, you need to take a look at Verizon’s new pricing on their prepaid plans.
Verizon Wireless maintains an amazingly far-reaching and reliable mobile network with blazing fast 4G LTE speeds.

Verizon Wireless offers the LG Optimus Zone 3 on sale for as low as $70 (regularly $199), with service starting at $45 a month for 1 GB of data plus unlimited voice minutes and text messages.…

With smartphones costing a few hundred bucks to replace, you may feel tempted to purchase cell phone insurance with your mobile carrier.
You might sign up without realizing that the extra $10 or so per month, per phone, comes with plenty of strings attached. Cell phone insurance, or “equipment protection plans,” as they’re called in industry parlance, often don’t provide much insurance at all.…
