should the government make cell phone makers put a FM radio chip in there devices.
A group of six technology industry associations are trying to get the U.S. House and Senate Judiciary Committees to mandate FM radio chips to be place in mobile devices. I can’t believe a group could force what should or shouldn’t be place in our cell phones. Why don’t we just force Apple to put Flash in the iPhone or RIM to use the Android platform.
Read more on FM radios in cell phones. I do see and have a use for the FM radio. When I go to LA Fitness the televisions all have a FM frequency that you can tune into to hear what ever program is playing on them.

make money referring new at&t customers
A few months ago I began marketing for new at&t customers by using the at&t referral rewards.This is money just for referring a new at&t customer. First wanted to know all the details of this referral program so I signed up myself and started referring. It took me about three months to make $600, that’s the yearly limit from referrals. Referrals could be for any at&t new service for example U-Verse, DSL, Home phone, Cell phone service and DirecTV. The money is paid on Visa reward cards, which can be spent anywhere Visa is accepted. I paid my U-Verse, got gas, paid my Verizon Wireless bill, Sprint bill and used it at a restaurant. (When using the reward cards at a restaurant it automatically adds the tip on it so be aware of that.)
The only prerequisite for someone to be able to get the reward cards for referring new at&t customers is you must have a at&t service in you name. I have U-Verse and a cell phone with at&t. My girlfriend only has a cell phone service with at&t and she is already spending her reward cards.
When you refer someone you must refer the customer and enter the new billing account number from the service they got from at&t to qualify for the referral. This is where I come in I can get all at&t services for a customer and I will help you with the referral process. It does not matter where they get the at&t service from as long as you refer the customer before the order new at&t service.
traveling overseas and want to use a sim card from that country
When traveling overseas one of the best ways to save money on roaming fees is to buy an unlocked GSM cell phone and use a prepaid sim card from that country that you are visiting. Prepaid cell phone service is sold everywhere overseas in the airport and almost every corner block. The calls are much less expensive and most of the time you have unlimited incoming calls. The last time I went to Trinidad I spent $30 for the sim card and my minutes for the two weeks I was over there. If I had used my regular phone roaming it would of cost me $2 a minute and with all the calls I made my bill would have been in the hundreds for the roaming cost. I unlocked my Blackberry Bold 9000 before I went and used a sim card from Bmobile a local wireless carrier.
An unlocked cell phone can use any sim card from any GSM wireless provider. One of the important things to look for in an unlocked cell phone is the GSM frequency. Some GSM cell phone have one or two frequencies like the Motorola F3. The Motorola F3 is 850/1900 a 2 band phone that would work on any GSM provider in the United States since the U.S. only use two GSM bands 850/1900 it would not be a problem. AT&T uses 850/1900 and T-Mobile uses 1900 GSM networks but countries like Europe and the rest of the world use sometimes the 900 or the 1800 GSM networks.
Now the best phone to have for roaming is the quad band GSM, which is used for global calls where GSM network coverage is present. The Motorola V3 Razr works on these GSM Networks: GSM 850, 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900. The Quad band GSM phone is always the best type of unlocked cell phone for traveling.
Motorola Razr Unlocked $79.99

backflip os updates
This the latest news I got on the OS updates for the Motorola Backflip.
The software update (13.37) has been approved. When we spoke last, I mentioned that had we actually submitted a second update that further improves SMS performance which slightly delayed the TA of the load.
The new software patch is being pushed out as we speak and should have already began hitting handsets. Keep in mind, not all handsets will receive the upgrade immediately. It is a ramp up process that should take no more than a few weeks.
All handsets that are being sold in store have the newest load and have had it for a good week or so
. There is also a
$20 price reduction to $79.99 retail with a 2 year that was effective nationally yesterday.
For Android 2.1, we are still targeting Q3. As soon as I have a more solid timeline, I will make sure to share it.
