Growing up, all the kids in my class had plenty of fodder to make fun of me. I was overweight, my hair was terrible, and — the nail in my social coffin to be sure — I always had ugly cell phones.

If you’ve read any of my posts, you’ll know I’ve changed myself around a lot as I’ve matured. Needless to say, the needs of a college girl are much different than the tweenie. My ugly, out-of-style flip phones with limited mobile-to-mobile texting and no internet (the horror!) were just about the death of me my first year of college. So what does this ever-changing girl do when her two-year contract with Verizon expires?

Picks herself up a Crackberry, you say? No, indeed not.
Waits on pins and needles for the iPhone to arrive? I almost might have, and solidified my yuppie status forever (holla to my Macbook sisters!) but the day before Verizon’s big announcement that they might reallypossiblyalmostfrlz carry the iPhone within the next 6 months, I’d sold myself to Sprint and the EVO.

Yes, today I dish out on the hottest phone on the market (for maybe the next 14 days). Just so you know, I actually bought this phone and the contract that goes with it, so this is a completely unsolicited testimonial. Boo.

But not really, because this phone is so, so worth it.

Here’s my running list of pros and cons. We’ll start with bad news first. Read More »

“I need you to call my phone in twenty minutes,” my friend said, putting things in her pocketbook and looking out the door like the Law and Order people were standing outside. “Just start talking. Don’t get freaked out if I don’t make sense.”

“What’s going on?” I asked, worried I knew someone in the witness protection program.

“I’m going out to lunch with this girl…and she might hate me. I’m not sure yet, but just in case she’s as crazy as I remember…I need your phone call to help me leave.”

Who hasn’t used a fake phone call to get out of an uncomfortable situation? Sprint felt your pain—and the annoyance from your friends every time you begged them for help—and has launched Mobile Faker. Read More »

So I’m one of the few girls who has yet to own a Razr. I’ve still got an old school fatty with a short antena. I know! I need to get with it. But  splurging for a skinny cell piece hasn’t always been on the top of my to-do list.

Well today must be my lucky day because I discovered a way to get a free Razr. No it doesn’t involve anything dirty or sketchy. This is legit.

Terms vary per wireless company, but basically if you create a new account at Verizon, Cingular, Sprint T-Mobile or Alltel, you’ll get a pretty Razr for FREE! So if you’re someone who’s looking to switch from say Cingular to Verizon, today might be the day to do.

Also, very important, this is only a 24 hour sale. It ends tonight at midnight.
