The Samsung E900 Cellphone
The Samsung E900 mobile phone was highly popular on its launch and has not failed to stay that way. If you desire a used phone for an inexpensive price, you could do a great deal worse. On first impressions, the Samsung E900 is relatively stylish. On sliding it open, you will find that the keypad is rather slick. If you have had experience of using the LG Chocolate model KG800, you will notice that there are some definite similarities.
When the phone is turned on, two soft keys light up atop of the keypad. They provide you with access to both the menu and address book. This means that you can call from there directly. The send key and end call key will also light up on the keypad. These keys are found on the bottom row. When the phone is switched to MP3 player mode, a further three buttons will light up. These buttons are for playing and pausing music and for tracking back and forward. This means that you can see when the device is being used as a cellphone and when it is being used in MP3 player mode.
The front panel keys are all touch sensitive, excluding the central mechanical main navigation key. This is advantageous in our opinion. A mechanical key is beneficial when you do not wish to or are not able to use touch sensitive keys. A large number of people prefer using mechanical navigation keys and for this reason it is a definite advantage that the E900 Samsung provides you with both.
On the left-hand side, the Samsung E900 cellphone features a rocker button for the adjustment of call volume and music player volume. In addition, there is a feature which allows you to reject and silence calls.
On the right-hand side you will discover the button to turn the phone on and off as well as the main control button for the MP3 player and the camera’s shutter button. Below these buttons is a combination socket for a charger or headphones. The headset for the E900 is hands-free – it allows for the listening of music and receipt of calls. However, its sound quality is not rated as the best and as it does not feature any dedicated controls, it can only be controlled using the phone itself.
If you turn the cellphone over, you will discover that the back of it is sleek black in color and features a loudspeaker. The speakerphone constitutes one of the best features of the Samsung E900 cellphone. Not only is it very clear but it has a high volume.
On the base of the phone there is a memory expansion slot. This is for the insertion of a MicroSD card. These cards are now available with capacities of up to 4GB. This should prove adequate for anyone.
Finally, we turn to the 2 megapixel camera. Unfortunately, it proves pretty standard. It features a weak flash and is not overly impressive.
Overall, the Samsung E900 mobile phone is stylish in appearance and possesses a decent set of features. However, in some areas, it is a let down. This phone is not bad to have second hand.

T-Mobile Cell Phone Family Plans
Until some time ago calling our sons and daughter wasn’t really cheap. A short cellphone call would cost over one dollar easily. But since we started using the T-Mobile cell phone family plans it isn’t a problem anymore. Now we can talk without thinking about costs. Talking now is as cheap as free!
We benefit from unlimited Night & Weekend Minutes, so when my son goes out with his friend I can call him to know if he arrived well and when hes coming home. The change in the phone bill is notable. Nearly half the expenses than before. I recommend this plan to every family who is interested in saving money in calls. But not only do I spend less money but also does my son and daughter. When they spoke hours on the phone with their friends it was a problem for us who paid the bills. But the family plan is not only for the family but also they can talk to their friends every night for free after 9pm.
Also T-Mobile offers a Nationwide Digital Roaming when we call another T-Mobile phone in the whole USA. The good thing of this is that you don’t have to pay expensive roaming costs for the call. These things made an important difference. But the biggest change was with the free Nationwide Long Distance for life calls that come included in the family plan. My wife has to travel around the country a lot because of her job and when the kids miss her they want to talk to her. This plan makes it possible to talk for a low price from your home to wherever the other family phone is in a 2000 miles radius. But now. what if my son was also away in some other place and we wanted to talk all together? T-Mobile offers a three-way-call. What does this mean? Well this means that three phones can talk together. So my wife, my son and I can share at the same time what were doing and how much we miss each other. Why miss this opportunity to do all this things for a low price? I really must say, this plan is great.

Sprint Cell Phone Family Plans
I’m really happy with Sprint’s family plans. I had AT&T for years and finally, after my iPhone was unable to get 3G service for the hundredth time, I switched the entire family over to Sprint. I was sad to lose my iPhone (they’re such cool cell phones!), but happy to get a phone that actually worked. We all kept our numbers and the kids were happy to get new phones.
One thing that I really like about Sprint is that they have more than one family plan! It’s nice to be able to take into account everyone’s usage patterns when making a decision on which plan to get. I use a smart phone, my husband uses a blackberry, my daughter is a phone-a-holic (she’s 15) and my son never uses his cell phone (we got it for him for emergencies), putting all of this on one plan didn’t look to be an easy task.
But, I did my research on the various plans on the web and then went into a Sprint store. The salesman could not have been nicer. He asked about all four of our usage patterns and what we primarily use our phones for. He understood pretty quickly that my daughter, my husband and I are all pretty heavy phone users, but that my son is a minor user at best. The salesman recommended that for now we don’t include my son on the family plan, but rather get him a prepaid phone loaded with minutes — the minutes cost more to use, but we won’t be charged a monthly fee. When he starts to use the phone more, we can switch him over to the family plan.
We checked into different cell phone family plans my husband, daughter and myself and he recommended the “Everything Data Family – with Any Mobile, Anytime” plan. This plan has free unlimited data (perfect for me and my husband) and unlimited mobile to mobile calls, unlimited calls after 7 and unlimited texting (perfect for my daughter). I think that the unlimited mobile to mobile calls is wonderful (whoever thought of it must have a teenage) – because of this we were able to get a 1500 minute plan for the three of us.
With Sprint, we’re spending around $160 a month (plus $100 initial outlay for my son’s phone), so, not only does my phone work now, but I saved us a ton of money over AT&T! In addition, now that we have unlimited texting and unlimited mobile to mobile calls, it’s nice to know that I won’t be opening up any surprisingly exorbitant phone bills from my daughter! Sprint has made a former-AT&T customer very happy!
