Cell phone provider change

I don't get what the big hate fest is about iTunes.

The updater kills VPN connections every 30 seconds, for one.

not that the program sucks, its great, if all you ever use is apple products, or purchase the mp3 versions of the songs instead of the DRM protected files. I think ill start using amazon more, now that i use my crackberry as my main source of music playing, and sometimes it wont play drm protected files

Has anyone negotiated before to have ATT pay off their previous contract term penalty??? Just curious.

Also I agree with the iTunes complaints, good reason why i switched to Zune. Love it.

Just FYI, I found out AOL radio lets you skip songs too. You can't set up custom stations, but it's free, and you don't even have to log in to anything to get to it, just go to aol.com and click on AOL radio off the main page

edit: has your precious mobile apps, too

You can't use that... it has the AOL name attached to it.

back from the dead. I remember you guys talking about using Opera as a browser on your crackberrys. They released a new beta version of their browser. its pretty sweet you guys may wanna give it a try.

BTW, Sprint just added a service that you get for free as long as you have at least 450 minutes and unlimited data package. You can call or receive calls from a cell phone on any provider's service without using up your anytime minutes. I was pretty stoked about it, since the majority of my calls are to cell phones, I was able to drop my total minutes down to 450 (since now, during peak hours, only landline calls and checking voicemails use up minutes) and save some cash! Score.

How much is it?

I've got SERO still, but I'm gonna want a new phone soon and I think they're going to tell me to eat a dick.

I think it dropped to $69.99 for 450 minutes, unlimited data and AnyMobile, I forgot to ask the lady. I was paying $89.99 for 900 + unlimited data, unlimited talk and data is only $99.99, but for the most part I doubt a lot of people will need it unless they call landlines from their cell phones a lot.

Wow 69.99 for unlimited data and...may have me wanting to switch...

[CaptainHenreh]

For the record:

Everything Plus (500 Anytime Minutes) for 59.99 via:

or, swindle a 27% corporate discount and get it for $51. This is what I do. (no need to actually work for the company....)

[D_Eclipse9916]

I get 20% off right now on verizon so I dunno.

That's what I get with AT&T... although it's not unlimited text. Seeing as how I'm not 14, it works.

[Mike]

i pulled the aol discount until i got my iphone last year... they don't offer it on them

Just picked up the HTC Evo. Holy crap what an awesome phone. Every gripe I had about the Blackberry (other than the battery life) has been addressed and solved with this phone. It makes doing business a LOT easier for the type of stuff I need it for (calendar syncing, financing applications, etc.) and it has so many features that just make it so desirable to use as a secondary computer / phone. The 4G is pretty sweet (I get 4G coverage at my house) and I like the fact it can turn into a wireless hotspot, although I don't see myself spending $30 per month more to add that feature when it has WiFi connectivity.

I mentioned the pocketability of the phone on fb, how do you carry it around, do you pocket it and if so how is that working out?

with the current mass popularity of the big screen brickphones, apparently Im the only person who doesnt like walking around with either a dorky hip holder or a gigantic rectangular boner

[WRXtranceformed]

Honestly that's one of the only things I'm getting used to. I'll probably leave it in my car on sales calls (although my laptop bag has a special spot for cell phones) but it's surprisingly not as big of a deal as I thought it would be. I mean it is literally a full inch longer than my Curve was, but it doesn't feel as big in my shorts pockets....now dress jeans, that's a different story, I haven't tried that out yet hah. I'll probably end up with it in my back pocket when we go out on the town.

You're not the only one, I consider my env3 (pause for laughter to subside) on the verge of being too big.
