Which cellphone to get?
I am starting to look at buying a new cell phone to replace my company issued nextel.
Things I would like
For it to work in my apartment (nextel wasn’t very good on this). Verzion works in my apartment. This might not be a big issue in the near future
To be able to receive short email messages on my phone. I used to have the sender and the subject of emails sent to my nextel. From what I have read ATT allows unlimited incoming text messages
Numeric paging. I have an answering machine that can send a page on a voice message being left. (ATT has this)
PC Connection. It would be really cool if I could connect a laptop or PDA to a cell phone and dial an ISP and pull and push email from my home network. I know cellphones are not fast but I should be able to connect using IMAP and see what messages are waiting.
Vibrate Ring
Head Phone socket
Small size, the nextel i1000 was a little too big for my liking.

Any ideas what the difference between a 3360($99.99) and 8260($179.99)? It looks like the 3360 has more features like infra red and PC connections, so why is the 8260 more expensive?

Verizon doesn’t seem to have nice looking cell phones.

So what are your experiences with different cellphone companies?

Hmmmm holidays or money (job posting from the scotland)

In return, you can expect 34 days holidays a year, a contributory pension, and a salary in the range of 24-27000 ($34K-$38K)

I found out last night that my fat and fluffy friend in the UK died.

I don’t feel bad about it, he died with a full belly after sleeping all day.

Interesting Article on H1b Visas One thing to note is that someone on an H1b pays tax and social security but can’t claim unemployment benefit or social security unless they become a permanent resident aka green card.
