Cingular 411's New Feature
So everyone knows about 411 I’d assume. The number you can call and get directions, phone numbers, etc. Had to call it today for a phone number and noticed a cool new feature. Cingular is know offering to SMS the phone number and address to you ‘at no additional charge to you’. Course, I think each call is .75 cents so it ain’t much of a deal. However, you can also set...

The Samsung Blackjack | Review: I Stay.
I’ve been toting around for the past 6 months or so my 8125 from Cingular and it has been a great phone. Everything I’ve ever wanted and in some areas, even more (I’ll explain shortly.) I run in and out of airports fairly frequently so I needed something I could get my email and RSS feeds with and be able to have all my calendar and contact stuff on me. So I’ve been...
