And I’m not talking politics.
My GPS Camera Phone has been going strong for well over a year now, much to my satisfaction. I’ve been able to exercise my right brain with photography while feeding my left brain with website management. While this worked for most of the time, I’ve noticed that my mind is [...]

There are literally hundreds of mobile phones available to customers these days with more and more becoming available. You could almost compare mobile phones to computers in terms of obsoleteness. As soon as you leave a store your phone basically becomes obsolete!
So what are the best ways to shop for a mobile phone then? First, [...]
