How to Get a Blackberry Curve Dirt Cheap September 27th, 2009
It seems that now a days if you aren’t sporting some kind of PDA you are behind. You may be ranting and raving about your camera flip phone, meanwhile the rest of the world is checking their email and watching streaming TV! One of the hottest phones available in 2008 is the Blackberry Curve. Their tagline, “a stylish way to get things done.” sums it up nicely.
If you’re in the market for a Curve there are a number of ways you can go about it. If you’re eligible for an upgrade head to your cellular provider and you’ll get a decent discount. Unfortunately if you’re not up for an upgrade right now it can get pricey. I did my research and even Best Buy was charging $499 to $599 for Blackberries. There was no way I was going to pay that much.
eBay has some pretty solid prices, but to find a bragworthy deal you have to be in the right place at the right time. Well I found a couple tricks that put you right in the sweet spots of eBay. Sweet spot #1 is checking the auctions that are ending the soonest. If you check at various times of the day you’ll see an entirely fresh list of auctions. Persistence pays off and you might even want to check at night if you’re really looking for a deal.
Another trick is to use advanced search and show Buy It Now auctions that have been added to eBay recently. This way you are looking at the most recent additions to the site some merely minutes old. These auctions are all Buy It Now so that when you find a deal you can scoop it up before anyone else even sees it. Its kinda sneaky, but it works.

Cell Phone Screen Repair September 7th, 2009
Cell phone screens, with few exceptions, are made to last. However many people run into problems because phones, like all small electronic equipment, have a tendency to be dropped and broken, or to fall out of pockets.
Often, a person will simply by a new cell phone – but what if you’ve just got yourself a brand new iPhone or Blackberry and you can’t afford an entirely new phone when all you really need is a screen?
Luckily there are three options available to the majority of cell phone users in America today.
The first and most obvious applies only to phones still under warranty, (another reason why extended warranty is always a good deal on cell phones,) is to go into a local shop and have the phone’s screen repaired for free.
If this isn’t an option for you, you could consider looking around online for replacement screens. You wont find brand name ones, but if you look on eBay and find a dealer with a lot of positive feedback you can feel relatively confident in buying one there.
The next step is to look at one of the numerous technology blogs providing detailed instructions on replacing your particular phone model’s screen. For almost every phone model released in the past five years there will be multiple detailed guides available to you, along with pictures and a list of tools you might need – although in the case of cell phones it is likely you will only be required to find a screw driver to fit.
Your third option is also brought to you by the internet; there are a lot of shops around America who will fix your phone for a very reasonable rate even if it isn’t under warranty.
Although this might not inspire confidence, your cell phone is useless with a broken screen and provided you pick a shop that has been in business for at least a year, they will be able to repair it for you. (If they didn’t deliver what they promised it is highly unlikely they could stay in business for any length of time.)
Be sure to remove the SD card in your phone if you use one in order to protect your personal information and photos.
