Understanding the Struggle

RENTOBILE! Very cool!

RENTOBILE is a new service that allows you to rent cell phones a month at a time, for as long as you want, and then simply return them and get another phone.  The huge upside is obviously you can get the latest and greatest phone and not have to go $300-500 in the hole to do so.  AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon are all supported and there are even unlocked phones.

Here are some examples of cost:

AT&T:  

iPhone 3G (16GB) is $34 a month.

Blackberry Bold is $24 a month.

Sprint:

HTC Touch Pro is $24 a month.

HTC Touch Diamond is $24 a month.

T-Mobile:

G1 is $24 a month.

Verizon:

Blackberry Storm is $30 a month.

If you must have the newest thing, this is the service for you.  If you plan on keeping the phone, then you  are probably better off doing a contract and getting the reduced price, because after a year of renting you could have bought most of the phones.  The other issue could be data transfer from phone to phone as well.  I think I'd get tired of that, but once figured out, I'm sure it wouldn't be that big of an issue.

Has anyone used this service yet?  Thoughts????

Why are you so paranoid, don't be so paranoid....

So I saw this just now and had to post about it quickly. If you're out and about ordering decaf coffee/drinks and you think it's really caffeinated, buy some of these and test. Are you kidding me?? These strips go for $9.95 for a pack of 20 and if you choose to use them, you too will be so paranoid.
 
Anyone tried these or think they're a good idea???

ESPN Beta means NEW Design for ESPN.com

ESPN.com is retooling their website and I for one am very happy about it!  I've played around with the beta version and really like the new layout and features (see the changes by clicking the link below).  I'm also glad to see it looks like they've done away with autoplay, which I hate!  Hopefully they keep it away for good!

Check it out and let me know what you think.

2010 Pro Bowl will be played in Miami?

The NFL is looking to switch things up a bit and not only move the location of the Pro Bowl from Hawaii to Miami (for the year), but also when the Pro Bowl is actually played.  The thought is that it will be played a week before the Super Bowl.  

Thoughts?  Read the details below.  Peace!

Miami Dolphins Back in the Playoffs!!

I am so ready to sit down in front of the tube, surround myself with friends and food, turn it up load and watch the Miami Dolphins play the Ravens in the NFL Playoffs this coming Sunday at 1pm.
 
I've been a Dolphins fan since I was a kid, so I'm due a little excitement:-)
 
Peace!

Some Companies Get It Right! Thanks Brooks Brothers!!

So I've been wearing Brooks Brothers shirts for a couple of years now and needed to make some additions to the wardrobe. Having been in the BB family for awhile now, I was aware of the twice a year sales offered so I placed my purchase. 10 shirts, two bow ties, and two pairs of pants later I was done and happy. 

I woke up early the next morning (Christmas morning) and was looking around on the internet while everyone else was getting ready and saw that BB was now offering an additional 15% off of the already sales price. With my purchase amount, that added up to more than a few dollars. I took a chance and emailed them explaining the situation, but didn't hear back...until just now.

I received an email this morning explaining that due to the order being in process they could not make any adjustments at this time. HOWEVER, once the order had been shipped, they would credit me back the additional 15%!!! In addition, BROOKS BROTHERS had ALREADY made adjustments to my other purchase (I made the order in two purchases...had to get more).

I think that's awesome! The could have easily not emailed back or said that all sales are finally, but they went out of the box for a client. I loved Brooks Brothers before and honestly even if they hadn't given any money back, I was happy about my purchase. Now they get a post explaining something they did that so few companies would do. 

If you wear dress shirts and haven't tried Brooks Brothers wrinkle free, give them a try. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised and one day they may just step out and say thank you for shopping with us as they did with me. 

Peace!

Walk of Life (Thoughts running through my head)

Life will twist you like a warm pretzel if you're lucky.
The bends in the road become the story.
The story becomes your life.
As you grow, every opportunity gains weight.
I suppose it's because you finally realize how big each great moment really is.
If the prayers line up, you'll realize the dream.
In doing so, you come to find that it's always been within grasp.
Always been reaching right back, but optimism coupled with youth keeps you blind.
The gentle second hand of time has a funny way of caressing your memories.
You appreciate the sounds...the subtleties that made you who you are.
Heartache and joy amaze the senses and remind you that you're alive.
Hopefully joy gets a little more time in your story.
Hopefully you can add a little joy to someone else's book too.
When wrinkles become your friend you'll say everything you mean, because you have nothing to lose.
Time is ready to hold some other person's hand and take a long walk.
So make the most of each chapter now.
Don't let the joy pass without pausing to let the symphony play.
And please don't let the darkness of heartache keep you from placing caution to the side, for a few moments at least.
No love was ever found without taking a step.

Windows Mobile Mail not sending messages? Here is the fix!!

A few days ago I finally fixed a problem I had been having with my Sprint HTC Touch Pro.  For some reason (an update I assume) I was still able to get mail messages, but not able to send any.  I would get some error message.  I let it go for days, until finally finding the fix.  Just click the link below and solve your issue.  

In my opinion Sprint should send out emails telling users how to correct these issues, rather than the user having to figure it out ourselves.

You're welcome!
