AT&T is being very generous this holiday season, not to the point where they’ll pay your bill, but generous enough. Today, AT&T announced that they would would be giving half-off many Blackberry handsets, including the brand new Bold 9700, and the Bold 9000 as well as other devices like the Curve 8900, 8320, 8520 and 8310. Of course this is after the mail in rebate and requires a two year contract, but if you’re going to get a two year contract with them anyway, you might as well cash in on this offer, especially since it’s only for the holiday season. While RIM is ruling the AT&T sales, that’s not all they have to offer for the holidays. More »

I’ve always been a proponent of the latest technology and am usually one of the first to buy a gadget when it’s first released. It’s just how I am and believe that some gadgets make things easier for us. In the past few years, smartphones have been that gadget. While many are still getting used to using a smartphone (my parents and cousins still don’t know how to use one), they’re extremely useful once you get the hang of it.

Take for example the new influx of apps across every smartphone operating system. Apps are designed to make the user experience easier and lately it seems like it’s made it so easy, using the version on my computer’s browser has become confusing.

The one app I’m going to use as an example is the new Facebook app for the iPhone, Android and other platforms (it sucks on WebOS but that’s another story). The app is extremely simple to use and gets you the info you want right away, without multiple clicks. It’s become so easy to use, I’ve preferred the Facebook app on my iPhone over the website on my browser. Here’s why. More »

The past few weeks, I’ve been thinking about whether or not I can give up my iPhone and switch to another carrier and use a different smartphone. The more I think about it, the more I don’t want to give up the iPhone. It’s one of those unique devices that does everything you want it to do, in a simplistic way.

Even with that said, if there is a better device out here, I’d like a chance to try it out. One of the devices I want to use is the HTC Hero. I’ve played with it for a few minutes but not enough to really get a feel for it. I really did like the Android software, which has been growing at a rapid pace.

If you had to switch your current phone, which cellphone or smartphone would you get? Do you think the iPhone is the best phone out there in the market right now?
