My Thoughts on The Motorola Droid

Various people feel the Verizon Droid may be as huge as the iPhone. I did some some research and it appears that the Droid is a little more heavy, but has a slide-out keyboard and a modestly wider screen which may account for that. It does have a touch screen keyboard as well.

The Motorola Droid functions access to the android market download scores of applications. You don't have to be troubled about having to many apps downloaded because the Droid has an expandable memory slot to add additional memory. Not only that but it also comes loaded with a 5.0 megapixel digital camera. On top of that, it has a function that allows you to record video. Throw in an mind-blowing mp3 player to play your favorite songs and you have everything you could need in a cell phone.

AT&T to Tweak its GoPhone Plans

The cheapest cell phone wars continue to rage on as expected. Coming October 3, AT&T is going to make a new addition to their GoPhone plans. according to phonescoop.com. Here is an excerpt:

GoPhone customers can take advantage of the Unlimited Daily Talk and Text plan now for $2 per day (on days the phone is actually used). GoPhone will also offer an unlimited talk and text plan for $60 per month, and an unlimited talk and text plan with 200MB of data for $75 per month. Last, AT&T is offering new Simple Rate plans that charge $0.10 per minute for voice calls.

The prices while not jaw dropping are a step in the right direction and the much hated cell phone contract is phased out due to alternative prepaid plans like this or the ones offered by Metro PCS or Cricket Wireless. This is good folks, but I suspect that prices will continue to get better. Finally the bigger companies are getting it. Until next time.

T-Mobile is currently being sued by a sued by a Text Message company for "allegedly blocking access to the T-Mobile network because of a client that provided information on medical marijuana".
