Avoiding data plans, and Android vs. BlackBerry
Choosing a new cell phone is not as easy as it used to be. Just a few years ago, you'd simply pick out one of the free new phones that your wireless carrier offered you as an incentive to sign up for another two-year contract.
But things are much more complicated now. Not only are there more phones to choose from, but there are different types of phones. There are sophisticated smartphones, quick messaging devices, 3G multimedia phones, basic feature phones, and more. And each category of phones seems to come with a complicated offering of voice, text, and Internet data plans.
In an effort to demystify the confusing landscape of cell phones and service plans, I have answered some reader questions that go to the heart of these issues. I've explained which phones can be added to family plans to keep those data charges low, so parents don't have to mortgage their homes to pay for their kids' cell phone bills. I've explained some of the differences between the new Google Android phones versus other devices, such as Research In Motion's BlackBerry phones. And I've tried to shed some light on what might happen to Google's ownNexus One smartphone.
