If you have been reading this website, you will realize that I finally bulked up (or bulked down, depending on how you view it) from my Blackberry 8820 to a superphone, the Samsung Galaxy S II. When I was walking to the store to pick it up, I had butterflies in my stomach and I could not wait till it was in my hands. I did a lot of work to acquire this phone and so I was overjoyed to finally have it. With that being said, here’s my review and I’ll try to be as unbiased as possible . The... Read Full Story

So this is the final installment in this series. The moment you have ALL been waiting for is finally here. As you can probably tell, I have made my choice. The following is a list of steps that I did to get the best deal in my opinion. Step 1 I basically decided that to get the possible deal I would need to take over someones contract. To do this, I went onto Cellswapper , Kijiji and Craigslist in search of someone who had a free HUP and was willing to do a contract takeover. This can be... Read Full Story

For this phase I’m trying to gain an understanding of what exactly I’m looking for. Since I’ll be sticking with my choice for up to 3 years I’ll need to put some thought into what phone I get, what type of plan I’m looking for and what carrier I’ll be going with. Phone I traditionally keep my phones for 2 years and make a switch to something new and although my current phone is a Blackberry 8820 and might be older than me, I’ve had it in my hands for 2 years so it’s time for something new...

I came up with this series mainly to document my struggles and joys with switching from one carrier to another. I am learning many things including what options to exercise and really how cutthroat the wireless industry is. I had initial idea of what I wanted to do when I set on this learning experience. That initial idea involved just going to Wind Mobile and picking a top-end phone that was compatible with their network. Like everything in life, it wasn’t so easy. Why I Didn’t Go This...

With news today that Facebook is now valued at a small chunk of change (aka $70 billion), I thought I’d take a look at it again. My opinion of Facebook used to be very radical and I stubbornly refused to sign up. Then a couple years ago I decided to sign up and I have not looked back. Now I’m starting to revisit my opinion on it as Facebook starts to introduce more invasive features such as “Auto-tagging” which is based on facial recognition software. Why am I mentioning this you ask. I... Read Full Story

Some people may have not heard what an Android phone is but in simple terms, it is the software that is made by Google that run some of the best phones in North America. With the release of the Nexus One almost upon us, the chatter about Android phones is reaching an all-time high since the first Android phone was released way back in 2009. Today I am going to take a look at why you actually should not be buying one; at least in Canada. The new Android software, Gingerbread 2.3, is supposed... Read Full Story

Facebook, the premier social network, has become so big because of one premise. That premise taps into the Western culture that is greed. The more friends you have, the cooler you are. Facebook succeeded following that plan to a tee and it overtook MySpace a long time ago and is approaching 600 million users with no signs of slowing down. What comes up, usually comes crashing down and General Motors or Toyota can testify to that. People are getting tired of the constant privacy holes, the new... Read Full Story

I have yet to order my Apple MacBook Pro but I have already ordered all the accessories that I could possibly want. This post is all about my recommended products that you should get for your Apple MacBook. 1. MacBook Skins If you buy a Mac, it looks exactly the same as anyone else who bought a Mac. On the other hand, if you buy a PC, there’s a much better chance that your PC will not be the same as the PC next to you. That is why I highly recommend getting some sort of skin for your...

Everyone has dealt with this problem sometime or another and I know I have dealt with it more than once. The question is, how do you deal with it? I’ve also been on both sides where a citizen has taken there anger out on me, a helpless servant to the town. There are two general ways you can deal with the situation as a consumer: get really angry which is the natural option or you can try and negotiate a compromise of some sort. I’ve tried both and found that the latter is the best option... Read Full Story
