Cell Phone Plans Comparison

Help On Purchasing A PDA/Smartphone!!!?

I just can’t seem to decide on which to get. I’ve basically narrowed it down to two: the 8525 and the Treo. I threw in the BlackJack for s**** and giggles. The 8525 looks sick, but I don’t know. I’m getting hooked up, but I still want to get the most affordable and the best for my money. I’ll be getting the same plan/services for any. Looking for phone, texting (including IM like AIM), and internet capabilities. In addition, with very good camera and very good music (mp3 player) capabilities.

Treo $80: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=Palm%C2%AE+Treo(TM)+680&q_sku=sku970026

8525 $200: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=AT%26T+8525&q_sku=sku970003

BlackJack $100: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=Samsung+BlackJack&q_sku=sku960048

Here is a comparison of all three: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/compare-cell-phones/?LOSGId=&_requestid=179544

Thanks.

REPOST: Filipino Racial Jokes 1: Fist Full of Lumpia?

Filipino Racial Jokes 1: Fist Full of Lumpia?
The teacher turns to the class and says, “Today, we will use these three words in a sentence. Defense, detail, and defeat. Tom, why don’t you go first?”

Tom, a white kid, goes first.

Tom says, “Ahh, the football team’s defense was detailed in the paper which caused the defeat of the other team.” (The narrator’s tone is slang-American when saying this sentence.)

The teacher turns to Chang, a Chinese boy, and says, “How about you Chang?”

Chang says, (narrator uses a Chinese accent), “the Defense Department gave details of the defeat of the guerrillas.”

“That’s very good Chang, now what about you, Bong-Bong?” says the teacher. “Use defense, detail, and defeat in a sentence.”

Bong-Bong, the Filipino boy, doesn’t want to do it. (Accent of narrator becomes heavily influenced by Ilocano or Tagalog accent).

“Ma’am, ay don’t know how to use it,” says Bong-Bong.

“Come on, just try,” says the teacher.

“Okay, ma’am,” says Bong-Bong. “Ahhhh…dah black dog…jumped ober (over pronounced with “b” sound) dah fence (“dah” instead of the sound “the”), dah tail first and den, dah feet.”

There was this Filipino kindergarten teacher and she was teaching her class how to do the hokey-pokey. She started off by saying, “You put your right feet in, you put your right feet out, you put your right feet in….”

Suddenly one of the children said, “Teacher you have to say ‘foot.’”

So the teacher said, “You ‘foot’ your right feet in, you ‘foot’ your right feet out…..”

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF Manila IS ATTACKED?
By: DarkNinja

After the tragedy in New York and Washington the question arises:

WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF Manila IS ATTACKED?

Well … if that happens, there can be no comparison. That’s because in Manila, we are much better prepared for these kind of attacks.

We do not have tall buildings. The only large structure that can be seen from above is the Marcos monument in Ilocos and terrorists are welcome to target that.
We all get on the job late in the morning specially government employees, so at 8:45 there won’t be sufficient people to kill (well, not even at 10 am!).
Fire fighters and police officers will do their utmost not to get to the spot in time. They will reach there just when everything is over, so there will be no casualties among them.
The national airline would surely have fouled up the terrorists plans by being delayed again or crash before even getting to the target due to mechanical troubles.

A Pinoy would not have used his cell phone to call home. He would’ve hit the terrorist with it over the head.
If a terrorist was living for one year in Manila he would’ve been robbed and molested so many times he would’ve given up and gone back to his home country a long time ago.
In Manila, the terrorists would not have gotten the flight manual, they would’ve had to pay for it.
You see… in Manila we are well prepared

Donna asks…

iPhone vs Xbox 360?

I know this is a weird comparison but i have a choice to make. I need a new cell phone since i broke my razr the other day plus i need a new ipod since i sold my ipod video the other day. Im 20 years old and im still under my moms T-mobile family plan with my sister and father. I think its time to branch out and get my own plan. Since i need a new phone and ipod i thought the iphone would suit me just fine. I already talked to the dealer and they said since i got good credit i don’t have to make any kind of deposit. I might choose the $80 plan. But i just sold my wii so i could use a new video game system, the 360 would be the one i want. From all the sellling right now i have $545. What should i get? 360 or iphone. I also just started my new job at sears so maybe i should wait and see how that turns out b4 i get the iphone, but i already have another job that would pay barley enough to afford it. What do i do?

Thomas answers:

I would choose the phone over the 360 system. A phone is much more useful and you will get more out of it (in terms of usage) than the 360 ever will. Down the road, you can save up and buy a 360 (the prices should go down in a couple of years). Think about it in this way…what will help you in an emergency situation….a cellphone or 360? Yeah, the answer is obvious!

Good luck to you!
