In the confusing world of cell phones and reception, it's sometimes difficult to find unbiased information.
We'll guide you through each step, from educating you about phones and carriers, to providing you tools we've developed, so that in the end you can make your own choice based on the facts that are on the table.
We've written this guide assuming no prior consumer knowledge. But if we discuss something you already know, skip ahead or around. Overall the sections we will be going through are:
Cell Phone Number Portability
Taking Your Number With You
On November 24, 2003 the FCC authorized the option to allow consumers to keep their phone numbers when switching carriers. However it isn't as simple as it seems. There are a lot of requirements and precautionary steps that need to be taken to make sure the transfer goes smoothly.
1. Existing Service Agreements Still Apply
Make sure you want to switch. In some cases, if your current contract isn't over, early termination fees may apply which could be costly. Added to the cost of new phones, activation charges with the new carrier, and other miscellaneous charges, and the extra costs could offset any benefits.
2. Keep a Copy of Existing Carrier's Phone Bill
It will save you a lot of headaches. Carriers rely on the billing system to port your number. So in order to seamlessly transfer your phone number over, the exact billing information must be used. If you live on 123 Main Street, it's 123 Main Street, not 123 Main or 123 Main St... exact.
3. Contact New Carrier - Don't Cancel Existing Plan
Once you've set your mind on it, it's time to contact your new carrier. They will handle the number change. However, to make this process as painless as possible, make sure you do not terminate service with your existing provider. If you cancel your existing plan without notifying your new carrier, the old number may be recycled and reassigned.
4. Backup, Backup, Backup
When switching carriers you will probably switch phones. Not all phones are compatible with different services, so make sure you have a way of saving your contact information. Your thumbs will thank you
5. Sit Back and Wait
That's it. The changeover shouldn't take more than a few hours. A small $3 - $5 fee may be added to your bill for the porting. But by taking these precautionary steps you'll be able to save a lot of headaches.

In the confusing world of cell phones and reception, it's sometimes difficult to find unbiased information.
We'll guide you through each step, from educating you about phones and carriers, to providing you tools we've developed, so that in the end you can make your own choice based on the facts that are on the table.
We've written this guide assuming no prior consumer knowledge. But if we discuss something you already know, skip ahead or around. Overall the sections we will be going through are:
Finding Cell Phone Service
1.What's Really Important?
With all the carriers attempting to entice potential consumers with "Roll-Over Minutes," "Fair and Flexible", etc., it is tempting to choose a carrier based on incentives.
However, reception reliability should be considered first and foremost to save headaches later on. Even at a few dollars more a month, being able to send and receive calls in the neighborhood is justified.
2.The Reception Problem
An ongoing problem with finding a good carrier is that reception is so spotty. We've all experience great reception in the neighbors yard, but it suddenly drops to nothing when you try to talk in the kitchen. So what's one to do to find the carrier with the best reception?
Finding a good phone depends on finding a great carrier. Aside from the time consuming effort of signing up with a carrier, trying it out, canceling if its bad, and trying with another carrier until the best one is found, word of mouth was the only other way. There was nothing consumers could do... until now.
3.Find The Best Plan To Suit Your Needs
After narrowing it down to one or a few providers, now is the time to consider incentives and rates. Nowadays, things are much more simplified. With the biggest concern usually lies in choosing National or Regional plans. But choices must be made to your specific needs.
Choosing The Right Cell Phone
Narrowing Down The List
After deciding a provider and plan, finding the best phone to fit your lifestyle is next. While all consumers are unique, it is safe to say that most likely you'll fall into one of three categories: those who don't know where to begin, those who know what they want in their phone, and those that already have in mind a few models they are considering.
For all of these categories we have developed tools to help narrow down the broad list of available phone. While using these tools, we try to supply you with facts and information and allow you to make your own decisions. So that in the end, you come up with a phone that's fits your needs.

We've written this guide assuming no prior consumer knowledge. But if we discuss something you already know, skip ahead or around. Overall the sections we will be going through are:
Explaining Cell Phone Reception
1.What Did You Say?
Ever wonder why you don't get reception? For a simple answer, typically user load and tower placement are the reasons reception quality diminishes. Other factors may be terrain, modulation technology, weather, or the phone itself. However, call quality depends more upon network than anything else.
To clear up the mystery, some basic information on how cell phones work is useful.
2.How Cell Phones Work
Cell phones are essentially "radios." They communicate to the world by transmitting and receiving voice through cell towers setup throughout the area. And a carrier's coverage is a network of cell sites, each with a tower and base station controller for a range of about 10 square miles.
From a carrier's standpoint, great coverage comes at various technological expenses and certain restrictions that are out of their control. For instance, each provider is limited by the FCC to a number of frequencies it can use in any given city.
Given a limited number of frequencies available in the spectrum, in order to sustain the capacity needed for urban coverage, frequency reuse is required.
To put it into an extreme example, if there was only one tower covering all of New York City, only a limited amount of simultaneous users could use that tower at once due to FCC regulations, say 100 frequency slots. Thus, 100 users at once could use it.
Conversely, if each house had its own tower, 100 users would be able to talk on their cell phones simultaneously in each house. Since each tower now only has a few feet to cover, power consumption is greatly lowered. Once a guest walks to a neighbor's apartment, the current tower would hand off the user to the next tower, freeing up a spot of another person.
3.Where's the Reception?
Coverage gaps arise when there is minimal or no overlap between cell sites. Ideally, hexagonal cell sites in a grid would cover 100% of the city. However, cell sites are circular in range. Thus small gaps occur when cell sites are next to each other. When user load increases, more towers need to be built to sustain the volume.
Also as mentioned earlier, by using a network of cell sites, transmission power can be lowered. To maintain efficiency, cells ideally provide reception up to the edge of the next cell site. However, signal strength fades the farther a user strays from the tower. And if the user strays too far from the fringe of two adjacent sites, coverage can get dropped.
4.Other Reasons for Poor Reception
If coverage is great outdoors but vanishes once inside, a problem could be the transmission power. Since more users requires more towers to be placed, it requires less power to cover a smaller area. The weaker signals will not be able to penetrate buildings deeper.
Additionally, at the expense of power consumption, cell phones use low-power transmitters. Base station transmits at low power to keep within the cell range (mentioned above). So to provide long lasting phones, manufacturers end up trading off power for transmission and reception strength. Together these are all possible reasons for bad reception.

Halloween
Halloween, or Hallowe’en, is an international holiday celebrated on October 31. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories and watching horror movies. Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is celebrated in several countries of the Western world, most commonly in the United States, Canada, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Japan, New Zealand, United Kingdom and occasionally in parts of Australia. In Sweden the All Saints' official holiday takes place on the first Saturday of November.
History
Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (Irish pronunciation: [ˈsˠaunʲ]; from the Old Irish samain). The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture, and is sometimes regarded as the "Celtic New Year". Traditionally, the festival was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, now known as Halloween, the boundary between the alive and the deceased dissolved, and the dead become dangerous for the living by causing problems such as sickness or damaged crops. The festivals would frequently involve bonfires, into which bones of slaughtered livestock were thrown. Costumes and masks were also worn at the festivals in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or placate them.
History of name
The term Halloween is shortened from All Hallows' Even (both "even" and "eve" are abbreviations of "evening", but "Halloween" gets its "n" from "even") as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day",[6] which is now also known as All Saints' Day. It was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions,[3] until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints' Day from May 13 (which had itself been the date of a pagan holiday, the Feast of the Lemures) to November 1. In the ninth century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints' Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were, at that time, celebrated on the same day. Liturgically, the Church traditionally celebrated that day as the Vigil of All Saints, and, until 1970, a day of fasting as well. Like other vigils, it was celebrated on the previous day if it fell on a Sunday, although secular celebrations of the holiday remained on the 31st. The Vigil was suppressed in 1955, but was later restored in the post-Vatican II calendar.
10 Mid-priced Phones To Suit Your Taste
1.Trustfund Techie
Phone: Motorola Aura ($1,999.99, available Dec. 4), Nokia N79 (From $300 to $999.999 online, available unlocked)
Gift givers with cash to burn and fine tastes will appreciate Motorola's new high-end phone. Inspired by luxury watches, the Aura features a 16 million color circular display that Motorola dubs a "world's first", a sapphire crystal lens and Swiss craftsmanship. While not as dazzling, Nokia's N79 is solidly engineered, and--because no U.S. carrier subsidizes it--nearly as expensive, with some online sites hawking it for $999.99.
2.Work Warrior
Phones: Samsung Epix ($199.99, AT&T), BlackBerry Bold ($299.99, AT&T, available Nov. 4), Motorola Q11 (Price not set, available in December)
BlackBerry addicts will gain several new options this winter, including the 3G Bold and the touchscreen Storm. Those who prefer their e-mail-centric phones BrickBreaker-free can choose from the Samsung Epix or Motorola's newest Q, the Q11.
3.Text-Happy
Phones: Pantech Matrix ($79.99, AT&T), Samsung Rant ($49.99, Sprint)
Teens love to text and recent surveys indicate that parents like to text their teens. A new batch of affordable texting phones should keep everyone in the family in touch affordably. AT&T will have four such phones, from Samsung and Pantech, on sale for less than $100 by the holidays. Sprint has its own version, the $49.99 Rant.
4.Music Maven
Phone: Samsung Highnote ($99.99, Sprint)
The king of music phones is, of course, the iPhone, which essentially has a built-in iPod. But those looking for a cheaper, fresher option may like the Highnote, which sports a large scroll wheel and stereo speakers under its sliding cover.
5.Game Boy
Phones: Nokia N85 (From $260 to $999.99 online, available unlocked), T-Mobile G1 with Google ($179, T-Mobile)
With its easy-to-access App Store, the iPhone is also probably the world's most popular gaming phone. But Google's G1 and Nokia's N85 are vying to swipe that crown. Like the iPhone, the G1 has a touchscreen and built-in accelerometer, which players can use for game play. The N85 is compatible with NGage, Nokia's gaming platform and comes pre-loaded with 10 game demos.
6.Fashion Cop
Phone: LG Lotus ($149.99, Sprint)
Fashionistas will likely snap up the LG Lotus, which resembles a makeup compact and is dressed in rich colors. It's one of several new Sprint phones with software that gives users one-touch access to text messaging, news and weather.
7.Color-ific
Phones: Palm Centro ($79.99, Sprint), BlackBerry Pearl 8110 ($99.99, AT&T)
Palm already offers its Centro in a rainbow of colors. For the holidays, it added two more: olive green and "vibrant rose"--two shades the Pantone Color Institute predicts will be popular through next spring. AT&T has started selling a BlackBerry Pearl in "sandstone pink" with swirling designs on its back cover.
8.Flips
Phones: Moto Krave ZN4 ($149.99, Verizon), BlackBerry Pearl Flip ($149.99, T-Mobile)
For reasons no one quite understands, flip phones are exceeding popular in the U.S. Fans have a few new designs to--heh--"flip" over this season, including Motorola's Krave ZN4 and Research in Motion's BlackBerry Pearl Flip. Like other BlackBerrys, the Pearl Flip is a messaging phone, while the multimedia-packed ZN4 allows users to "touch through" the clear screen to view photos and TV and listen to music.
9.Touchscreen
Phone: BlackBerry Storm (Price not set, Verizon, available later this year), HTC Touch Diamond ($249.99, Sprint)
Previous launches, like the iPhone 3G and Samsung Instinct, have set a high bar for touchscreen phones. New and upcoming releases, such as the BlackBerry Storm and HTC Touch Diamond, offer their own takes on the technology. The Storm's screen "clicks" when depressed. The Touch Diamond's software makes images look three-dimensional.
10.Touch + keyboard
Phone: HTC Touch Pro ($299.99, Sprint, available in late October/early November)
Those looking for a "best of both worlds" combination of a touchscreen and full keyboard can get the G1 or its cousin, the Touch Pro. HTC makes both but the Pro runs on Windows Mobile software instead of Google's Android platform. That means less Googley fun but more seamless access to popular Microsoft applications like Exchange e-mail.

The Most Overhyped Gadgets--from www.yahoo.com
Blogs gush about them. PR campaigns blow millions on them. News anchors announce their arrival like they're members of state. And the rest of us suffer when they utterly fail to deliver. They're overhyped tech products, and unfortunately, we've run across quite a few of them through the years. Here are a few of our favorites ... or at least, the ones we most bitterly remember.
Segway Personal Transporter
By the way its inventor Dean Kamen and folks like Steve Jobs (who seems to have a blessing for hyperbole) talked this thing up, you would have believed it was the solution to all the world's problems. And some people did. But instead of defying gravity, producing limitless energy or any of the other things people had dreamed up for "IT," the thing basically moved like an electric wheelchair. But standing up. Guess we'll have to wait a few years for Kamen's fusion reactor.
Palm Foleo
Segway Personal Transporter
By the way its inventor Dean Kamen and folks like Steve Jobs (who seems to have a blessing for hyperbole) talked this thing up, you would have believed it was the solution to all the world's problems. And some people did. But instead of defying gravity, producing limitless energy or any of the other things people had dreamed up for "IT," the thing basically moved like an electric wheelchair. But standing up. Guess we'll have to wait a few years for Kamen's fusion reactor.
Palm Foleo
Before the Asus Eee hit the states and shook up the market for ultra-portable, low-cost PCs, Palm was building up the same concept with its Foleo PC. In theory, it had a number of concrete features that push it to the front of the pack, including zero boot time, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a full QWERTY keyboard. We say in theory, because the Foleo went off radar during the summer it was supposed to debut, then finally slipped beneath the waves for good when Palm formally announced its death in September. Thanks for getting our hopes up.
Apple iPhone
Don't get us wrong, it's not a bad product, but the hype that preceded the iPhone's release set the bar impossibly high for the poor thing. Forget about shepherds turning up at a manger, the iPhone had hip Apple fans all over the country camping out for days to get their hands on one. Despite a relatively smooth launch, the original iPhone still had a number of huge disappointments waiting in store for the less-than-faithful who weren't willing to overlook them, like pitifully slow EDGE Internet that rendered the slick browser less than useful, and a clunky abomination of a keyboard that irks us to this day.
One Laptop Per Child XO-1 (OLPC)
It pains us to mention such a well-intentioned project alongside so many products built to empty wallets, but there's no question that the XO-1 has failed to live up to its pre-launch hype. Not only did the original $100 price tag fly out the window well before the machines ever reached reality, they were also off-schedule and failed to really catch hold in many third world countries. Even the concept of putting computers into the hands of children seemed to fall apart at the seams when it turned out kids were using the first OLPC batches to look at inappropriate sites. We'll give Nicholas Negroponte's vision some credit when Ethiopia becomes the next Silicon Valley.
Optimus Maximus Keyboard
Hopefully this monstrosity taught bloggers not to get quite so excited about press photos and mock-ups. Yes, it looked like just about the coolest, most versatile peripheral ever invented when news of it first spread, but as we discovered when we tested it out, the thing is barely usable in real life. The only keyboard we can really think of that's any worse would be the aforementioned iPhone keyboard. There's also the price, which makes us cringe when we think about the poor art students who scrimped and saved for one only to pull it out the box and realize they had accidentally ordered a worthless novelty.
Microsoft Zune
Here's one that really proves that PR alone cannot put a shine on a dud of a product. Microsoft did its damndest to convince every last corner of the Web that it was out to slay the iPod with its vastly superior Wi-Fi-enabled Zune back in 2006, and many outlets accordingly made the Zune out to be a legitimate threat. But when it launched, techies everywhere quickly figured out it was nothing special - just another MP3 player with a big name on the box. We got excited when they hit bargain bins.
PlayStation 3
If the more recent cloud of negativity surrounding the PS3 has erased your memory of the hype surrounding its launch, let us remind you: Some of these things sold for over $2,000 on eBay in the days after they went on sale. A man was shot trying to secure one. It was the ultimate gaming machine, the console to destroy all consoles, the status symbol of November 2006. And it totally flopped. After most gamers discovered that being able to see individual blood droplets from an alien's brain or the glistening sweat on a football player's neck didn't make the games any more fun, the $600 price of admission just didn't seem worth it anymore. Nearly two years later, it's starting to gain some ground, but we're guessing the guys that originally shelled out thousands of them to impress their friends still feel like tools.
Amazon Kindle
Considering that the Kindle was far from the first e-reader on the block, it's totally amazing to us that it gathered the momentum it did thanks the measly inclusion of a wireless data connection for buying books remotely. At $359, the Kindle is still a pricy gadget for buying books that aren't all that much cheaper than their paperback equivalents. You know how many books $359 can get you at a garage sale? At least 359, which is more than we're guessing you'll ever get through on the Kindle. And when you're done, can you hollow out the Kindle with an Xacto knife to hide things inside? That's what we thought.
Apple MacBook Air
Apple's MacBook Air just barely edged out competing notebooks in its quest for thin, and as CNet found out, actually loses its title as "world's thinnest" to a notebook from 1997. Even still, the Apple propaganda machine managed to make this reinvention of the wheel out to be the Earth-shattering king of ultraportables, with signature Apple marketing smugness to match. It's a small notebook, folks. We'll be amazed when it fits into the same envelope your credit card bills come in. (Watch our MacBook Air Review.)
