Black Friday, Meet BlackBerry

The day after Thanksgiving is commonly referred to as Black Friday. Not "black" in the same sense as one of those October stock market crash days. Black refers to the idea that this one shopping day is so important that it can put a retailer into the black, or making money, after almost a year of red ink. And where does this sudden influx of money come from? It's from eager shoppers, of course. They're officially starting their holiday shopping season. Why do they spend so much on this one day? Bargains, that's what!

Just in time for Black Friday, comes a special deal on perhaps the hottest wireless device of the year. It's the BlackBerry Storm. BlackBerry, Black Friday. It seems to fit. What's so hot about the BlackBerry Storm? This is the revolutionary new touchscreen BlackBerry. There are other hot models of this famous business smartphone. You know them as the BlackBerry Curve, the BlackBerry Bold and other intriguing names. But all BlackBerry devices come with one important feature. It's a full QWERTY keyboard located just below the screen. On the BlackBerry Storm, the screen is the keyboard.

Oh, like the Apple iPhone? Yes and no. BlackBerry has given the Storm the next generation in virtual keyboard technology. It's called "haptics." What that means is a tactile feedback so that you can actually feel the press of the key. They accomplish that with a screen that gives slightly as you press on it. Other devices employ rigid display screens that relay on a clicking or beeping sound to tell you that you've actually pressed the key.

People have been lining up at stores looking to get this phone as soon as possible. But you don't have to do that. You'll find the BlackBerry Storm available at a special discount price online through Cell Phone Plan Finder. We're not allowed to mention the actual price here, but be assured it's worth your while to visit Cell Phone Plans Finder and check the special offers. Many other popular phones and wireless devices are also available at terrific deals. And, I should mention, with no chance of getting an elbow in your head like you might experience in a bricks and mortar shopping frenzy.

If you happen to find this page after Black Friday, don't despair. Chances are that you'll still get an excellent price on the BlackBerry Storm and the other phones at Cell Phone Plan Finder. Check and see for yourself.

Samsung's Got the Music Beat

What's more fun than a cell phone? A cell phone that is also an MP3 music player, of course. How about a cell phone that is also a Megapixel digital camera and video camcorder that takes pictures good enough to print? Yeah, that's it. Why carry around a standard flip phone when your flip phone can also store and play your tunes and take high resolution photos? It's three, three, three devices in one!

But, "whoa", you say. "Just how much is it going to set me back to get a cool phone like this instead of the plain vanilla model?" Would you be shocked to know that the phone I'm talking about, the Samsung Beat, is available free after rebate if you grab it quickly? Don't try to stand up. You'll feel lightheaded and faint again. Just relax and I'll give you the excellent details. There's still time.

The Samsung Beat with myFaves for T-Mobile wireless service is one cool phone. The sleek black and gray case sports a bright green ring surrounding the external music controls. Think of it as an MP3 player that's also a telephone. You'll have plenty of room to download the tunes of your choice since the Beat supports microSD memory cards up to 2 GB.

Here's another cool feature. This is a Bluetooth phone that has the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) so you can stream your music to other compatible devices. Of course, you can also use a standard Bluetooth wireless headset for telephone communications.

How about that digital camera? It's a beauty. You get a full 1.3 Megapixels for 1280x1040 pixel resolution. Digital zoom is available to move in closer. The nice thing about Megapixel and larger resolution is that you can print your photos and have nice snapshots to keep. You also have the option to send and receive picture and video messages with the multimedia messaging add-on plans from T-Mobile. This phone supports text messaging and instant messaging, too.

Did you notice that you can send and receive video messages? Yes, the built-in camera doubles as a camcorder to capture video up to the available memory. So, plug in a 2 GB memory card and start making your own movies.

This is one cool flip phone... far beyond the ordinary. You think you'd have to shell out a bundle to get one of these and you probably will if you buy it in a cellular or retail store. But not here, my friend. The deal is that you get a rebate for the value of the phone when you buy it from our online store along with a T-Mobile service plan. Yes, this phone DOES support myFaves. What's more, you can get a great deal on two phones when you order a family plan.

Crazy about music phones? We've got lots more of them at Tune Cell right now. You can also get great deals on just about any cell phone with service from the popular carriers through Cell Phone Plans Finder.

Sanyo Katana DLX Pink Satin Deluxe

If you've liked the Katana cell phone line from Sanyo, you're going to love the new Pink Satin DLX version. DLX stands for deluxe and, in the world of personal cell phones, this one is truly deluxe. You'll get features normally reserved for business or techie type phones. But you won't have to give up style. Not one bit. This Katana is a slim, sculpted beauty in a satin pink finish. It's also soooo affordable.

The Sanyo Katana DLX Pink Satin is designed specifically for the Sprint PCS network. As such, it supports cool add-on plans including such goodies as on-demand Sprint TV and the Sprint Music Store. You can also add-on GPS navigation services such as audible turn-by-turn driving directions. It's a phone and a navigation system, right in your hand.

But the fun doesn't stop there. The Katana DLX includes a high resolution 1.3 Megapixel digital camera that takes photos good enough to print. You can also use it in camcorder mode to capture short videos up to 35 seconds long. Make your own mini-movies and share them with your friends. Don't worry that you'll run out of memory taking lots of high quality snapshots. This phone offers expandable memory using microSD/TransFlash cards up to 2 GB.

Those high-rez pictures will look really good on the large high resolution main display, as will the videos you download. There's a second color display on the outside of the phone to display valuable information with your Katana closed.

Do you enjoy music? Great. Download songs from the Sprint Music Store and enjoy them right on your phone. You have the option to stream your music wirelessly to stereo headphones or other Bluetooth A2DP enabled devices.

Of course, there are lots of other goodies such as custom ringtones with a DJ Editor pre-loaded, email client that gives you one-touch access to your MSN Hotmail, Yahoo! or AOL Email, standard text messaging or multimedia messaging, voice driven menus, voice memos, speakerphone, downloadable games, custom graphics and picture Caller ID.

But what does it look like? Oh, what a beauty. This satiny pink Katana is only 0.6 inches thin and weighs a slight 3.5 ounces. All that cool technology won't rapidly drain your battery, either. You get up to 4 hours talk time and 168 hours on standby.

Elephants need your Verizon Cellphones

Tennessee is known as a place to hear great music. There's a history of folk and country music in the mountains of Eastern Tennessee, Nashville is the home of the country music industry, and Memphis is the place for blues. But if you get off of the interstate and wander the back roads southwest of Nashville, you may hear something special. If you're lucky and the wind is just right, the sound of trumpeting may come your way. Is it jazz or a marching band? No, it's music made by some very happy elephants!

Elephants? In Tennessee? Yes, they are the lucky residents of The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee. A haven for old, sick or needy elephants, it is the home to both Asian and African elephants who have been retired from zoos and circuses. The nineteen residents, all female, have free range on 2700 acres of old growth forests, pastures and spring fed ponds. There are heated barns where they can come and go as they please. It's like a great resort for them. No matter where the elephants wander on the grounds, the caregivers bring food and medical treatments to them several times a day.

Getting back to cellphones, the staff uses them to stay in contact everywhere in the sanctuary. Hauling food out to each elephant three times a day, providing fresh drinking water and administering foot soaks and other necessary treatments are just some of the duties in the field. Back at the barns, the stalls need to be cleaned and pressure washed every day, and there are always new construction projects and maintenance to be done on the fences, equipment, buildings and grounds. The daily activities take a toll on their cell phones. They can get banged around, dropped and dunked into foot baths, mud puddles or worse.

This is where you come in. The Elephant Sanctuary is a non-profit organization, licensed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. They receive no state or federal funds, and they rely entirely on public contributions, member support and in-kind contributions. If you have a spare Verizon compatible cellphone from 2005 or newer, please donate it to the staff. Phones need to be in good working condition, and matching chargers are also appreciated. Come to the Wish List for more information and the address to send your phone.

How much does it cost the sanctuary to take care of their elephants? It takes about $1,000 for food, dietary supplements and regular veterinary care for each elephant, each month. With nineteen elephants in residence, that's more than a quarter of a million dollars per year, not counting staff salaries and operating costs for the facilities. Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

When was the last time you found a cell phone fascinating? Take a closer look at the new Sanyo Katana II and you may find it indeed fascinating. Here's something to pique your interest. Right now, this phone will pay you to take it. Fascinated? I thought so!

The Sanyo Katana II Pink Fascination camera phone is an upgrade to the highly popular Katana model for Sprint PCS wireless service. The original Katana took the cell phone market by storm with its gorgeous soft pink coloring and slim profile that rivals the svelte Motorola RAZR line.

Look at all you get. First is the super-thin, sculpted plastic flip-phone shell in a very pretty pink with silver trim. Next comes Bluetooth wireless technology so you can converse hands-free by clipping one of those little Bluetooth headsets over your ear and putting the Pink Fascination in your bag or pocket. You also have a speakerphone available, to include friends on your side of the conversation. With voice activated dialing, you just speak to dial your phone.

The color display measures an impressive 2.2 inches. You'll love having it to view the snapshots you take with the built-in digital camera. Keep them to yourself or share them with others with an add-on messaging plan from Sprint.

Another add-on plan you'll like is GPS services. That's a navigation system on your phone that can give you audible turn by turn driving directions, map location or other location services.

More? You want more? Of course you do. You get it, too, with the Katana II. You'll find a nice clear color external display in addition to the main display, ability to record up to 300 voice memos of 3 minutes each in length, custom ringtones with a DJ Editor pre-loaded, picture Caller ID and ability to download games and graphics.

All this and an unbeatable offer to boot. Your new Sanyo Katana II Pink Fascination is FREE when you order it with a Sprint PCS service plan, for a limited time only. Not only is it free, but it comes with a $50 cash back mail-in rebate. Yes, you get paid to take the phone for free. Even shipping via FedEx is free. Oh, my gosh. You can do even better when you order TWO free Pink Fascinations on a Sprint Family Plan. But don't wait. This offer is good as of this writing, but might disappear at any time.

Of course, if pink isn't your color or you really have your heart set on something else, check out the huge selection and current specials at Cell Phone Plans Finder right now.

Nokia 5300 XpressMusic Slider

The latest in multimedia cell phones is the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic for T-Mobile Wireless. As you might guess from the name, the XpressMusic is all about music, as well as conversations. In fact, once you start carrying your Nokia 5300 you may wonder just what you need your old MP3 player for.

The Nokia 5300 is a slider phone. It closes to a compact package when you're just carrying it or enjoying your tunes. Need to make a call? Simple. Just slide down the keyboard and punch in the number you want to call. When you're done with your call, slide the keys back in and they disappear.

So why is this a hot music phone? The first reason is that it has significant memory to store a lot of tunes. The XpressMusic comes with a 1GB microSD Memory Card included. Many music phones now use similar plug-in cards, but you have to buy them extra. The Nokia 5300 comes with everything you need. The stereo headset is also included. So is a USB cable so you can transfer music from your PC to your phone. Streaming Bluetooth capability lets you stream your music to A2DP compatible Bluetooth devices, such as wireless stereo headphones or a home stereo system.

The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic is also an FM stereo radio. You have a choice in music. You can listen to the MP3s you've downloaded or use your phone as a radio to tune in your favorite stations. The included stereo headset doubles as an antenna.

The multimedia capabilities of this phone go beyond music. The main color display offers 320 x 240 pixels of high resolution display. That's perfect for viewing the high resolution pictures you'll take with the 1.3 Megapixel digital camera. It includes 8x digital zoom and a self-timer. The quality of these pictures is good enough to print, but you can also share them electronically with your friends by using multimedia messaging. When still photos aren't enough to tell the story, switch to camcorder mode and take short videos at 15 frames per second.

We also have a complete selection of music phones and music downloads. Check them out now at Tune Cell.

Cingular Firefly Cell Phone Family Plans Make Sense

You'd like to give your child one of those cool Firefly cell phones for kids, but how can you justify spending a bundle on the phone plus an expensive monthly service plan? What if you didn't have to? What if the Firefly phone was free? What if you could share a service plan with a free phone for yourself and a Firefly for your little one? Does that sound like a better idea? If so, read on.

Let's face it. If you buy your Firefly phone off the rack in a store you're going to pay some big bucks. These little phones go for about $100 usually and maybe $10 less on sale at a major retailer. It's tempting to just grab one on the spur of the moment, but don't. You'll be rewarded for your shopping patience.

The hundred bucks is just the start of it, though. If you grab a phone, better grab a airtime minutes card too. They're $25 each and give you 100 minutes good for 90 days. Then what? You have to buy another card or lose service. Too bad if your kid uses the phone a lot and runs out of minutes. You have to buy another card or order more minutes to keep talking.

Here's a better proposition. Order your Firefly online with cellular service from AT&T. Your phone is free. Want more? Order a family plan and get TWO free Firefly phones. Or, change the second phone to something you want and give the Firefly to your child.

So, how much extra do you pay for your service plan that includes that free Firefly? You can actually get a family plan for the same monthly cost as a single plan, but with fewer minutes. The featured plan offers more minutes for a higher price. But you can have up to 5 phones on this plan with an additional charge of $9.99 per phone. Hey, outfit the whole family! Check the complete selection of family plans and pick the one that works for you.

If a shared minutes plan will work for your family, you can see that it can be very attractive compared to what you'll find hanging on the rack in those retail stores. Getting a free Firefly phone along with a new free phone for yourself and paying just a little more per month for a shared minutes plan can be the best deal of all. Now you can have the convenience and security of knowing that your little one can stay in touch with you at any time or push the emergency button on the Firefly and summon the authorities if danger suddenly appears.

The Firefly was designed especially for kindergarten and pre-teen children who aren't ready for a standard cell phone. It's small size and rounded case fits easily in their little hand. There's a button to call mom, a button to call dad, and an emergency call button. You can also program up to 20 other numbers in its address book. The key is that parents program the phone and decide who can call or be called. Kids get a cool and tough translucent phone that clips on their coat or backpack and is goes where they go, always at the ready.

Unfortunately, the Firefly offer is no longer available

We do have great deals on many, many different models of cell phones and smartphones with service from the major cellular carriers. Find exactly what you are looking for at Cell Phone Plan Finder.
