I had wanted to upgrade Wendy’s Samsung Link for a while now as Virgin Mobile has had some entry level Android smartphones out for a while.  Every time I went out and looked, they were sold out.  I finally tracked one down today at Best Buy and decided to pick up a Samsung Galaxy 550.  [...]

About the time this goes online, Mark will be awake and opening his birthday gifts.  We bought him an upgraded cellphone, a LG Rumor 2, NFL Training Camp for the Wii, a dopp kit for the lake, and an iTunes card.  He is also getting a cell phone case (but he will want to pick [...]

Ever since I gave Mark a cell phone for Christmas, some of you have asked how our experiment has gone.  Since it keeps coming up, I’ll post my response here. Mark still has the cell phone which is a good sign.  He has taken really good care of it.  He doesn’t take it to school [...]

I don’t need a smartphone and until last year, I barely used my cell phone.  A combination of my staff all having smartphones or text phones persuaded me to get first a Samsung Link and then a LG Bliss.  I later bought Wendy a Samsung Link and she loves it.  While the LG Bliss has [...]

I was reading a couple of reviews for the LG Bliss and while I was okay with my Samsung Link, I would really liked a better web browser and some more app options.  Wendy went out and bought me one and I have had it for the last week.  Here are the pros of the [...]

Well after my old Samsung Link drowned in the washing machine and then scorched in the dryer, I had to head out and replace it.  After looking around at a couple of options, I decided to get a… wait for it… another Samsung Link but this time in red.  They are now under $70 and [...]

I am a cell phone luddite.  Last summer I finally got a cell phone with a camera when I switched to Virgin Mobile.  For over a decade we were SaskTel customers with all of the travel I did between Saskatoon and Spiritwood and now with us going to the cabin as often as we do, [...]

I generally upgrade my cell phones about every five years or so.  To say I am a late adapter in this area would be an understatement.  Not only that but Wendy’s cell phone is almost 8 years old so she was due for a new one as well.  After looking around for months, I decided [...]
