So, I'm reading Engadget today and find an article written about the UK cell phone carriers Orangeâ„¢ and T-Mobile UK. Naturally I clicked on it to see what it was about since I am a T-Mobile USA customer. And, lone-and-behold, Orangeâ„¢ and T-Mobile UK are merging their companies to become the largest carrier in the UK. I was slightly disappointed that T-Mobile had decided to merge with Orangeâ„¢ because from what I've heard from people in the UK is that Orangeâ„¢ SUCKS. Telekom-Mobile (T-Mobile) should have not merged with Orangeâ„¢ because it would not only lessen T-Mobile's international coverage map but, T-Mobile would fall in the rankings of the top 30 largest mobile service providers (it is currently number 7 worldwide). The T-Mobile~Orangeâ„¢ merger would also cause problems for Virgin Mobile, a worldwide mobile carrier that piggybacks off of T-Mobile's international network. People in the UK who have Virgin Mobile would possibly have to sign up for a two year contact with the merged carrier instead of keeping their Virgin Mobile prepaid phones. T-Mobile has always been the best carrier in customer support, devices, and worldwide coverage. Why would Deutsche Telekom merge even one branch of their company with another company most UK consumers already hate?

Google and βeta products ~2/10/10
Yesterday you probably heard that Google announced Buzz, a new social network-like product within its Gmail service. Google, quite frankly, is loving the ability to excite users about products that really have no true relevance in the business or social media world. I have tried both Wave and Buzz and as good as they work, Buzz can't be used like Twitter to advertise a product and Wave, until its released, can't be used by whole companies. But, hey! If they work well and are free, I'll try 'em. I'll try to get some pics of Wave and Buzz soon.

Because life is like that. ~1/2/10
Hello Voxers! First off Merry Xmas and Happy New Year! Pardon my spelling errors because I am blogging this from my new cellphone: the Motorola Cliq! I'll be doing a review of it in 2 months. Why? Because I'm lazy!!! I have to say, today life seems to hate me. All of my friends are away or otherwise engaged and I found out that Motorola is releasing another Droid for Verizon (I'm on T-Mobile) and this phone will have Motoblur. The same user interface as MY PHONE!!!! Most of my friends are on Verizon and have the original Droid but when they see this they'll get it. The problem is that this phone not only will work like mine but, also look almost identical to mine! I like to be different so when I heard about this I was mad!

The Helio Ocean 2 is gone! ~12/6/09
Hello Voxers! I went to the Virgin Mobile site today and found that Virgin had dumped most of the Helio line of cellphones! I am a fan of Helio and was very upset when I saw this. The picture above is of what is left of the Helio phones. Notice that the phones are no longer called Helio but are labeled as Pantech and Samsung, their respective makers. So far, the only person who has seemed to notice this change is a Virgin Mobile user who is askng the same question: Where did Helio go? Even their signature phone is gone, the Helio Ocean 2. The Helio.com website is also gone and the only things that remain are the iPhone vs Helio comparison and the Helio Web Mail service. Maybe after Christmas the Helios will be featured once again.

Hello! ~11/21/09
Follow me on Twitter! [Now to the actual post] Hello world! I have alot to catch up on! Today the DSi XL launched in Japan and there are no news or reviews on the internet yet, very odd. While searching for Blogger layouts today, I found a game for Facebook and Twitter called Ninja Warz! It is soooo fun! Click Here to play it! I'm very happy that Facebook and Twitter now have platforms for applications. Just think, one day you could have a 3G/EDGE game console that solely plays Facebook or Twitter games! Another thing about Ninja Warz is that it is totally free! No pushy in-game pop-ups that say you need to buy whatever to get better in the game.
