How to Transfer Your Address Book

In what will hopefully be a regular series, I want to give tips on extra things you can do with your cell phone other than making calls.

Today's article is on how to transfer contact numbers from one phone to another. This definitely comes in handy from time to time.

One thing i want to add to it, however; if you use a GSM network such as AT&T or T-Mobile, you can store up to 250 numbers on your SIM card. If the numbers are on the phone itself, most phones give you a "copy" option where you can simply transfer the numbers over to the SIM card. Samsung phones give you a "management" option. SIM cards cannot, however, store pictures or ringtones. They can't even store addresses or other contact info. Just the name and the number.

iPhone review central pt 1

Still the only kid on the block that doesn't have an iPhone? Wondering if you're missing out on anything by saving yourself 6 C-Notes? It's time to find out. A week old, there are now plenty of reviews of this new gadget out there, so let's put them all together.

MobileBurn
"Considering this is very much a version 1.0 product, Apple is to be applauded for the overall stability of the device and the amazing performance of its user interface. "

PhoneArena
"While the iPhone is just remarkable in what it does, the lack of key features may be a turn off for some users."

Cnet
(8/10) "Despite some important missing features, a slow data network, and call quality that doesn't always deliver, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated cell phone and MP3 player."

Laptop Mag
A whole comprehensive guide to all things iPhone.

PhoneScoop
"Apple didn't set out to create something that would match existing smartphones feature-for-feature. Rather, they set out to re-invent the whole idea of a mobile phone, and they succeeded."

AT&T Official Support

Finally...a 3G T-mobile phone in the works

This isn't official by any means, but the FCC has just approved the Samsung SGH-T639 with UMTS 1700. Considering 1700 is the band T-Mobile 3G will be using, we are putting two and two together. Hopefully this will be the first of many announcements in the near future about T-Mobile's 3G plans.

Samsung A437 arrives at AT&T; CU500v dropped

AT&T isn't wasting any time announcing new phones in the midst of the iPhone madness. The A437, which is the C417's replacement, is now in stores. This phone is basically the same as the 417, but without the external antenna and with AT&T branding.

PhoneArena

Also on the new price lists, the LG CU500 and CU500v have been given the kiss goodbye. Rumor has it that the LG "trax" (CU575?) will soon be replacing it. Whatever replaces it, I hope it's good... the CU500 was one of the top rated phones AT&T had, and will be hard to top.
