Cell phones, and the Costs applied

There are somethings we all wonder.... this is one of my personal questions on a monthly basis. Is it worth having a contract phone versus a pay as you go phone?
I guess it would depend on what you would want out of your phone. Iphones (Which I currently have) are only available via a contract with a specific company (I use sprint). How ever the Android phones are now available vie no contract/pay as you go. One of my favorite places to drool over the option is strait talk. If you haven't seen it yet, you can find the site here. It has the sim card for transfer into jail-broken phones, so you can get more bang for your buck if you wanted to go that direction. $45.00 dollars a month is pretty amazing, seeing as I'm paying $80 a month to do essentially do the same thing but with more options for me to get over charged by sprint on my roaming, which it seems in Durham and Raleigh the towers are never working. Seems that companies are going the unethical route just to make money, or as we all know it the bottom line. This leads into so many more questions with all these companies charging so much, why are we buying into being ripped off by them? Is my Iphone really worth being stuck with a terrible company for two years? I have a discount for working for one of the larger companies in technology (they wont be name but it's only three letters.... take a lucky guess.) I'm sure this will lead into some ethical political debate at some point so I'll stop before I get carried away.
Below I will give you a series of links, before you think about switching to another contract you will be stuck with, these will give you more options. Some of the links are regional so just keep that in mind.
Atlanta/ Miami area options
Damn near Everywhere(depends on the phone)
This one varies...
You also want to check the larger companies for the pay as you go options they have.

So upon some recent realization of the insane work schedule I've been dealing with recently I will be adding some collaborative effort soon.

Android Market Place: Light Years of Change in less than One Year

As we all know there has been a large battle of the large named table sellers, and at one point was drawing lines in the sand causing feuds among family and friends. In under a year Android has quickly taken that line and thrown it in the dust. The exponential growth in the past year in the market place is all thanks to the creativity around the world coupled with the release of frame works for the easy drag and drop option for people to make the applications that the people want, something even our countries haven't managed yet. Now instead of angry teens making viruses and hacking accounts to make money they have the availability to put that angst to use and make money on something that they would want and what they know what there friends want to play with as well. On average most of the applications made and put in the market place are free with the minor ads that you can easily ignore, where as these same applications in the Apple's Itunes store is almost always a pay for application. In short that instant gratification that we all crave has been easily accomplished, leaving us with that want for more and others willing to give it to us. The best part of these phones and tablets released by Android and partner companies is the quick and easy almost desktop like use and the “nothing here is banned” attitude that Apple is currently lacking. This has not only opened the option for the next generation to start working earlier but has also open up to a new generation of programming that is sure to evolve to amaze us in the coming years. Android has made its beginning mark in our history books but the question still remains as to how far will it take us.

Tool bars

Tool bars ,its striked out for a reason.
They're a pain in the ass and they cause more problems then they solve.... and seeing as they solve no issues..... screw 'em!
The thing is they come with almost all freeware downloads and some other downloads so you have to make sure you're un-checking the boxes that say "add blah tool bar to your internet browser" and "Change blah to your home page" other wise you end up with crap that just clutters up you space/ causes easy entrance for virus infections.
Since I'm mentioning this now My Web Search and Webfetti are my two biggest No-no's, at my work we've classified them as technical Malware infections because even if you do choose to uninstall, it takes some serious work to physically pick it out of your system. (and yes that is a pain in any tech's ass)
So just remember...... * Say No to Toolbars*.
That was my mini update for the night... yea its small but as I said there's more to come!!!(Testing multiple free ware programs out currently)

Digsby... your socail life connected

In my recent conversations with an old friend I was told about Digsby.
I was iffy about it at first but I have to say it has mad life frigging awesome!!!
Digsby is the better half of my life now...
It connects all emails all the messengers you have and all the social connections you have (myspace FB and linked in). Everything you could possibly have in one organized spot!!!!
I've actually learned to be updated while working at the same time.... For those of us who can't keep up this is one of those better options to keep track of everything.
Down side though when you Download it you have to keep track of what you accepting onto the computer... otherwise you end up with a changed home page and an extra toolbar.... and tool bars are usually a bad thing.

But here's you download.... click here -----> Digsby

Also this can be found on FILEHIPPO (haven't yelled their name in a while)
