When it comes to deciding how to pay for your cell phone, the choice can be tough. If you use your cell phone a lot, chances are you may want to sign up for a contract. If you only use your phone occasionally, a prepay plan may be the best option for you.  It’s not always that clear cut, however. Let’s take a look at exactly what prepay and contract mean, and which is a better plan for you and your needs.

When the time comes to ditch your ancient cell phone for a brand new Blackberry, what should you do with your old cell phone? Rather than stuff it in a drawer never to be seen again, why not do one of the following with it:

AT&T has announced the latest addition to its Windows Mobile smartphone line-up. The HP iPAQ Glisten will be "available in the coming weeks" for $179.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and 2-year agreement. This new AT&T WinMo handset features a 2.5-inch AMOLED display, 3.1 megapixel camera and a Windows Mobile 6.5.

I know that it's counterintuitive to say this (especially working for a cell phone blog), but we need to stop advancing electronic devices. Remember those old chemistry problems where you have a balanced chemical system, and you're given the amount of each compound on the left hand side with the goal of finding out the amount of one of the compounds on the right hand side, except that there's a limiting reactant in the fray keeping the product amount from being anywhere near what it is capable of being?

Think of that, except with portable electronics, and instead of making salt water you can bankrupt companies and make consumers very angry.

It appears that every Smartphone headed to AT&T this year has been exposed by a slide deck at Engadget. This leaked information on the upcoming AT&T Smartphones shows that the carrier will offer phones from various platforms. The upcoming AT&T Smartphones will be composed of handsets running on Windows Mobile, webOS, Android and BlackBerry OS.
