T-Mobile Ranks Highest in Customer Service. Again

Some question why I stick with T-Mobile when there are so many other choices.  Many mobile service providers have better phone selections or provide faster mobile data services.
One of the reasons is that the service I get from their support teams is unmatched.  The other big reason is the very competitive pricing compared to the other [...]


Non-DRM’ed MP3s from the major Record Labels?

It could happen as early as this year according to this article in the NYT.  While it would certainly take some time for the entire recording industry to come around to the idea, it sounds like at least one record company will try marketing tunes in unrestricted MP3 format in the next few months.
Again, I [...]

Review - Sprint BlackBerry 7250

This is my first review of a BlackBerry device, I may complete some additional reviews of similar devices (8700c, 7105t, and a 7130e) as time permits. Just to keep it honest, I should point out right now that I’m primarily fond of Microsoft devices (I own & use a T-Mobile MDA), but I have [...]

Highly recommended if you’re on the fence about buying [...]
