    Anyone have a new phone that they really like?


    lol Its worth a shot:biggrin_2559:

    The thunderbolt is "suppose" to come out 3/17 and will have voice and data work at the same time.

    I currently have the Droid X. The 4.3" screen is wonderful.
     
    American-Trucker Thanks this.

    unlike the AirCards it doesnt need to be pluged into your laptop, it only needs to be within 3 feet of it.

    It has 3 options for plans instead of 2 like the AirCards

    Mobile HotSpot:3GB $30/month, 5GB $50/month, 10GB $80/month

    AirCard: 3GB $30/month, 5GB $50/month


    The Mobile HotSpot is FREE!
    The AirCard is $99

    With the HotSpot you can have up to 5 devices running off it at the same time!


    Other then that there the same, so the way I looked at it, the HotSpot is capible of ALLOT more, it doesnt cost anything up front, and it has more plans to choose from, and its not going to be sticking out of my laptop for me to break off lol
