Eight new Blackberries are rolling out on various networks this late summer/fall. This is RIM's attempt to come back from the abiss. Will they be succesful? Blackberry fell to the number three position in the smartphone market for the quarter ended June 30 according to a recent Comscore report. Apple passed RIM/Blackberry for the fist quarter with 27% of the smartphone market and Google's

We have all seen and many participated in a cell phone drive for a good cause. A box is placed somewhere and everyone dumps in their old cell phones and the charity raises a little money. Let me emphasize the word "little". There is a better way and you can actually make a lot of money for your charity/non-profit.How? Well let's first talk about why the traditional fundraiser raises so little

We thought that it might interest people to start giving you statistics on what we (SellYourCell.com) bought and how much we paid for cell phones in October, 2010.

Also, the average U.S. cell phone user has 3 or more unused, expire or broken cell phones - hey sell those phones to us (or let us recycle them for you if they are old or broken).

Summer vacation is right around the corner for college students - here already for some. The job market is tight. Why don't you start your own business? Here is a business idea for a business that will take no capital to start. Become a cell phone broker/buyer.

Ever changing wireless technology has resulted in devices packed with features. You can get everything from a MP3 player to a camera. Everything from web browsers to text messaging.

Recently one of our staff lost her cellphone.  Now, I've almost lost my cellphone many times by either placing it on a counter or having it fall off of my lap when getting out of the car.  Most of the time when I "lose" my cellphone, it's somewhere at home or in my car and is easy enough to find (even if I have to borrow someone else's phone to make it ring!).  This post is about someone ELSE'S

3G iPhone on the horizon?  While most industry "experts" expect Apple's Steve Jobs to unveil the next-generation iPhone on June 9, no one can seem to agree on what it's latest and greatest features will be.  The only feature that seems to stand out is "more iPhone" in other words, faster, stronger, able to store more.More than a few rumors are circulating around this new release, or iPhone 2.0,

There is speculation from all directions about the iPhone 2 rumored to be (at least) announced by Steve Jobs in his scheduled keynote at Apple's WWDC (World Wide Developer's Conference) on June 9.

Recent data from Google shows that searches from Apple's iPhone are 50x searches from any other smartphone. That's a staggering figure that supports a more recent study that indicates that 85% of iPhone users access news and other web content on a regular basis compared to 58% of other smartphone users combined. Just for the record, just 13% of regular cellphone users access the web regularly...

AT&T has put a temporary hold on it’s new parental control service after discovering a problem with a it’s 911 calling feature.

It was surely just a matter of time. The company who is renowned for the quality of it’s software – remember recent ads about viruses and the Apple Mac vs PC’s – would not just sit still and let someone, anyone breach the iPhone’s software.Recently Apple announced that anyone having their iPhone unlocked risks the possibility of causing “irreparable damage” to the unit, rendering it unavailable

Apple has been hard at work coming up with new and improved offerings for consumers to consider. The much touted iPhone has had a phenomenal launch. In an effort to put a iPhone in everyone’s hand, Apple has changed it’s pricing strategy but reducing the 8 GB unit by $200. The comparably-priced 4 GB unit will only be sold while supplies last.Then there’s the no-phone iPhone, the iPod Touch,

Cell Phone directories may not be used for unsolicited telephone marketing calls, according to a 1991 federal law. The 1991 Telemarketing Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) makes it illegal for solicitation calls to be made to wireless phone numbers without clear permission from the individual to whom a number has been assigned. Despite that ruling, many of us are receiving unsolicited calls on our

As a parent of a teenager who spends far too much time on her cellphone, I was interested to see AT&T announces a Web site that allows parents to limit how many minutes teens can put on their cell phones, how many text messages they can send and receive, and how much can be spent on ringtones and games. According to my research, I may not be alone. Approximately 80 percent of American teens (

The most straightforward way of doing so is by manually going through the phones security settings, and having the phone dump its memory. Almost every phone manufacturer has a “reset phone to factory settings” option that allows us to clear the phone of its extra data. To be sure, refer to the manufacturer’s website to ensure we have their most recent instructions available. After clearing the

The state of Illinois is currently considering a “cellphone lemon law” that would allow you to get out of your contract if your phone has been replaced or repaired three times. The bill has passed the state House and is headed to the Senate. Proponents of the bill see this as an increased consumer protection initiative. The mobile phone industry thinks that this legislation is unnecessary.

Ever wondered how a cell phone spends its day?There are no scientifically studied results readily available. So, I decided to track my cell phone’s usage on a typical day. What I discovered is that 16 hours were spent in standby mode. (After all, I spend 8 plus hours sleeping so the phone gets to rest then too). Next there are 1-2 hours spent in talking and texting. Another 2 hours were

You Can Use a Cellphone in Most of the World Without a Giant DishIn the United States several major cell phone carriers, such as Cingular and T-Mobile, have chosen to use the GSM digital protocol that is popular overseas.

and Do I Need to Get a Key?When purchased from a wireless carrier, such as Cingular or T-Mobile, a GSM cell phone will typically come with a "subsidy-lock" or "sub-lock" code. These software codes are installed in the handsets during the manufacturing process in order to prevent consumers from using a phone purchased from one carrier on another carrier's network.The logic here is that when

Wireless Alphabet Soup:What it All Means CDMA, TDMA, GSM, iDEN, and AMPS, what do they all mean?

Allow us to put your minds at ease here. In order to evaluate the phones they must be sanitized, as we call it.This is to say that the first thing our technicians do when they hook phones up to their diagnostic equipment is erase all the phone's data and reset the phone to it's original state. This is our very first step, and it is absolutely mandatory prior to evaluating the phone.While it is

Did you know that there are more than 400 million used cell phones in the hands of U.S. consumers at this moment? That is enough to create 64,000 tons of electronic waste. What does that mean for the environment?Well, even if cell phones were biodegradeable, 64,000 tons is still an awful lot of trash. Cell phones, however, are not biodegradeable and when broken down into discrete elements they

Excellent question. Sometimes I think there are more theories on this than there are on Area 51. People ask me all the time if we break the phones down for the "gold" in them, sell them off to third world countries, or are stockpiling them because "big phones are going to make a comeback".
