secretagent Many people find it difficult to turn off their cell phone, and consequently feel bound to carry it around everywhere you go. I hear day in and day out "I cannot live without my cell phone, it has everything" or "I don't know what I'd do if I lost my cell...

secretagent It can be confusing to purchase a cell phone, with all of the different products and services that are available for mobile devices. In a typical buying scenario, it helps if you do things in order: 1) Equipment - what does the perfect phone do for you? 2)...

secretagent There are a ton of apps that are available for most cell phones, and sometimes, those apps are just luxury time wasters - and some are just a waste. Verizon does a pretty good job of putting out applications for their non-smartphones, and there's a ton of...

secretagent Hello is a variant of the English 'Hullo' which is an expression of surprise - and introduced to the telephone nearly as early as the invention itself. Hullo, Hello, and several other variants are used worldwide as a standard telephone greeting - landline or...

I usually put my mobile in silent but with vibrating tone. My manager is too strict. He does not like his staff talking in phones during working hours. So I have already told my friends and families to call me only during recess...

secretagent I generally won't answer my phone during times in which I'm supposed to be working, especially in my line of work - it would be rude. Other times, it'll depend who is calling. I prefer text (SMS) as well - it's discreet and doesn't disrupt my work flow.

And if so, are you going to renew your contract with the same carrier, renew it with a different cell phone carrier, or switch to a prepaid plan? What is the reason behind your decision?

secretagent Who knows - I've seen proprietary software come and go - it seems that the more restrictive companies are, the more likely they are to go under. At any rate, I look forward to seeing WebOS on more than just two devices - there's talk about tablet PC's with...

secretagent Apple fans feel the same way about the Android, and vice versa - it's silly sometimes, but akin to how people feel about sporting teams - it's "My team this...and my team that..." On one hand, it's good for us in the industry that people are so enamored by...

secretagent With HPs Palm acquisition, you might find more phones with WebOS in the future. Palm created the operating system, but didn't allow anyone to distribute it like Android has - Hewlett Packard may allow more manufacturers access than before.

secretagent I'd wait on buying a new iPhone 4 - in the meantime, if you already have an iPhone 3G or 3GS, you can update to OS4. Any time there's a new product release with Apple, there's going to be 1) a shortage of supply, and 2) issues with the new phones. Even...

secretagent It seems like the software in the phone has been corrupted for one of a dozen reasons. You'll need to back up the phone, restore it in iTunes, and then go through the blackra1n process. If you have an iPhone 3G or 3GS - there should be a new software...
