The Galaxy line of phones are awesome.  A removable battery plays no small part of that as you can always have a charged battery with an inexpensive separate battery charger and never again have to plug your phone into the wall.  With the huge screens on Galaxy phones along with Google Maps you’ll also never need to buy another GPS.  And Android Jelly Bean’s incredible predictive Google Now service kicks Siri to the curb.

The Galaxy S4 will likely come out soon, so if you want the latest and greatest you may want to wait for it.  Though it will start off with a much heftier price tag than the prices below.

If you have Verizon and are thinking of getting a smartphone or are thinking of switching to Verizon, today is the last day to signup for the double the data promotion.

Currently Amazon has the Galaxy Nexus for just $0.01 for new customers or new family lines! It runs the latest and greatest 4.04 Ice Cream Sandwich stock Android software.  It will unlock at the sight of your face and can instantly sync the open tabs, bookmarks, and settings from Chrome on your computer to Chrome on your phone, among many other features.

Verizon sells the Galaxy Nexus for $199.99 to new customers, so this is a discount of $200 off of their pricing!

The Galaxy S3 is coming out later this month, but by then it will be too late to signup for double the data.  If you order today though you should still be able to exchange phones for the next 14, or possibly 30 days via Amazon.  Note that the Galaxy S3 runs TouchWiz and isn’t a pure Google Android phone like the Galaxy Nexus is.

Normally Verizon charges $30 for 2 GB of data, but until today they will give 4GB of data for the same $30. The promotion is only on 4G LTE smartphones, not phones running on the older 3G data network (sorry Apple fanbois!)

During the Amazon checkout process you will be able to select 4GB of data for the price of 2GB, $30/month.

A data plan is required to activate any smartphone on Verizon.

Since I got my awesome Galaxy Nexus in December (a big upgrade from my Palm Centro ) I’ve averaged about 3GB of data per month, so although I’m on an old grandfathered unlimited plan, if you are thinking of getting a smartphone with 4G LTE you definitely will want those extra 2 GB.

Fair warning though, once you have a phone like this you will never be able to go back.  The integration with Google is fantastic, internet browsing on the massive screen is perfect, and just the GPS app alone, which is awesome for driving and for walking directions when in unfamiliar places, is worth the price of admission.  Seriously Garmin, you guys need to learn how to do POIs from Google!

While tethering on my laptop via the Galaxy Nexus (free with a free app!) I typically get speeds of about 15 Mbps down and 8 Mbps up which is awesome and is another reason to lock in those 2 extra GB of data!

Since I got my awesome new Galaxy Nexus phone a month ago I’ve used about 3GB of data, so although I’m on an old grandfathered unlimited plan, if you are thinking of getting a smartphone with 4G LTE you definitely will want those extra 2 GB.

While tethering on my laptop via the Galaxy Nexus I typically get speeds of about 15 Mbps down (but have hit speeds as high as 90 Mbps down) and 8 Mbps up, significantly higher than my home internet connection, another reason those extra GBs will come in handy.

Amazon Wireless sells the Galaxy Nexus (running Google’s polished new Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 OS that will unlock at the sight of your face and will instantly sync the tabs, bookmarks, and settings from Chrome on your computer to Chrome on your phone) for just $229.99 for new or upgrading customers, $70 less than directly from Verizon, and Amazon also has even heavier discounts on other VZW 4G LTE smartphones like the Droid Razr and HTC Rezound.

The Galaxy Nexus finally drew me away from my trusty old Palm Centro. I’ve been a Palm OS guy since I was 16, so Android is a pretty big switch for me. The “GNex” is the only device that can currently run Android’s sweet new Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.  So far so good, it’s not perfect, but it sure is light-years ahead of the Centro I’ve been carrying around since 2007.  And it’s better than any other phone on the market that I’ve compared it to.

Through 01/15/12 only, Verizon is offering 4GB for the price of 2GB of data, so if you are considering switching to Verizon or getting a data phone, you should do that as soon as possible as you’ll want those extra GBs of data when flying on VZW’s incredible 4G LTE network!

Palm Pixi Plus Linky

Compatible with Verizon and the popular pre-paid carrier, Page Plus Cellular.

The last day to get an unlimited data plan on Verizon is this Wednesday, July 6th.  This comes after AT&T got rid of their unlimited plans last year.  The new tiered plans start at $29.99 for 2GB, the same price they charge now for unlimited data usage.

It’s official, unlimited data is going the way of the Dodo.

Smartphones all require a data plan so if you will ever want one you probably want to add the unlimited data plan to your line now.  The highly anticipated Dual-Core 4G LTE Motorola Droid Bionic and Samsung Function/Galaxy S2 Android devices are expected to be released very soon, but by then it will be too late to add the unlimited data plan.  If you have the unlimited data option though you will be grandfathered with it, so you will be able to switch phones and sign new contracts while retaining the unlimited data option…

I remember back in 2002 when Sprint launched their 3G service with tiered data plans.  Previously they just had a 2G unlimited mobile web option.  Not too many people signed up for the 3G “Vision” service because they were apprehensive about a tiered structure for a service that didn’t really exist before.  Sprint quickly brought the price of 3G service down to just $10 for unlimited data and they made unlimited data free for all additional lines.  Included back then (in the pre-SMS days) was also free PCS messaging and picture messaging (I actually had the tiny VGA camera that plugged into the A500, Sprint’s 3G launch phone).  With options like first-incoming minute free, and 6pm nights those were some of the best plans ever released.

Sprint has regretted those generous free and clear plans for many years now.  They treat free and clear customers, by definition their oldest and most loyal customers, as the scum of the earth.  They aren’t allowed to have any smartphones.  Does Sprint not realize just how much money they throw away by not just offering a $20 per line option to allow smartphones on the older plans?  Instead they would rather force everyone onto their much more expensive everything plans.  (They buckled and do allow SERO customers to have a $10 smartphone add-on or $20 4G add-on, but they still don’t let free and clear or fair and flexible customers do the same)  In an ideal world that may work, but looking at their financial numbers you can see those people are just bailing to other phone companies or to more and more competitive prepaid plans.  Sprint boasts about even less profitable prepaid growth as they bleed out more valuable post-paid customers.

I was a Sprint customer since 2001 when I went away to yeshiva in Los Angeles, 10 years with the same company!  I went through the bad times of the worst customer service in the industry and constant billing mistakes.  My reward for all that loyalty?  Last month Sprint decided they had enough of my plan and gave me 30 days notice that my plan (in middle of a contract, don’t you love how they can break the contract when they feel like it without any penalty) would be terminated.  Others on the DansDeals Forums have reported that the same thing is happening to them.  An obnoxious contact in their legal department will call you one day, treat you like garbage, and then unceremoniously throw you off your plan.

Everything is with divine providence though.  Verizon was all too happy to welcome me into their arms with a 22% negotiated discount.  I’ll finally be able to get a new phone as Sprint hasn’t let me get a more advanced phone than the Palm Centro back in 2007.  (They did manage to stave off my new phone addiction while having a Centro from 2007-2011, as from 2001-2007 I went from a Motorola Talkabout>Samsung a500>Samsung i330>Samsung i500>Samsung i550>Treo 700p>Treo 755p>Palm Centro) Verizon had no problems letting me use a cheap Palm Centro for a month or 2 until they release the Droid Bionic or the Samsung Function.  I’m not under any contract now as I brought my own phone to the table and when those phones are released I can sign a 2 year deal and get the new customer pricing.  Plus I can add unlimited data now so that I’ll be grandfathered and have the ability to fully use my next phone without worrying about exceeding the data usage.  At least Sprint decided to cut me off at an opportune time!  And yes, Verizon customer service and coverage really is that much better than Sprint.  As they say, you get what you pay for!

Enough rambling for now…have a happy 4th everyone!

“Purchase a new Sprint device and receive an activation-fee credit for up to $36 for each qualifying line of service activated on a new two-year individual or family plan account purchased from Amazon.com between midnight PDT October 11, 2010, through 11:59 p.m. PDT October 18, 2010.”

If you have a Sprint family plan and receive a corporate discount off the plan you can opt out of your contract!

Effective last month Sprint eliminated the discount from applying to additional lines beyond the primary line. This raised the cost of service for people with multiple lines. If you are under contract you have until today to call up Sprint to get out of your contract.

While some reps may insist that you have to actually cancel your service to have your cancellation fees waived, you should be able to find a rep that will mark your contract as fulfilled, thus deleting your existing contract and allowing you to continue with month-to-month service.

If anyone tries this out let us know how it goes!

Google Voice Linky

Google Voice is simply awesome.  It gives you the most powerful phone number you’ve ever had.

When you pick your phone number you can even search nationwide for a combination of letters or a phrase  that you want in your number.  You can probably even find your name in a number!

You can currently only open a number while you are in the US.

With the number itself you can:

-Make free calls to the US and Canada.

-Have it forward to a number of phones, so that it will ring your cell phone and home phone simultaneously for example.

-Get voicemails transcribed and sent to you via SMS or email.

-Voicemails are saved permanently.

-Screen calls to decide whether you want to accept the call or have the caller identify themselves before answering the call.  You can even listen in during the voicemail and then decide whether to pick up the call!

-Calls from select (or all) numbers can be set to ring different phone different times of the day, or set to go straight to voicemail.

-Block people from calling you, giving them a disconnect notice when they try.

-If you have a Gizmo5 account you can make calls from your computer while you are anywhere in the world for free back to the US and Canada.

What else do you use your Google Voice for or what’s your favorite feature? Hit the comments!

Sprint is increasing the cost of their “regulatory charge” to 40 cents per line effective 01/01/10.  This a bogus fee collected by Sprint as a stealth rate increase. The notice is being sent out in cell phone bills. You have 30 days from the date of receiving notice that this cost is rising to cancel your plan for free.

“Regulatory Charge
Effective 1/1/10, the Regulatory Charge will increase to $0.40/line. Visit Sprint Ts&Cs or sprint.com/taxesandfees for details; also effective 1/1/10, the Sprint Terms & Conditions (Ts&Cs) are changing. Please review them carefully at sprint.com or on request.”

According to Sprint’s terms and condition there is no way to simply cancel your contract, you must terminate your service and you will not be liable for the ETF.

It may take a few phone calls to customer service, but you should be able to find a rep to let you out of your plan for free.  If not you can always write to Sprint saying that you do not accept the new terms and you wish to end your contract.

If you want to port your number out of Sprint be sure to tell the rep this before canceling service so that they can notate your account to waive the ETF upon completion of porting your number to another carrier. If you cancel your plan before porting your number out of Sprint you may not be able to get your number back.

If you try to cancel be sure to let us know what happens!

Here are the relevant Sprint Terms and Conditions:

“When You Don’t Have To Pay An Early Termination Fee:
You aren’t responsible for paying an Early Termination Fee when terminating Services: (a) provided on a month-to-month basis; (b) consistent with our published trial period return policy; or (c) in response to a materially adverse change we make to the Agreement as described directly below.

Our Right To Change The Agreement & Your Related Rights
We may change any part of the Agreement at any time, including, but not limited to, rates, charges, how we calculate charges, or your terms of Service. We will provide you notice of material changes, and may provide you notice of non-material changes, in a manner consistent with this Agreement (see “Providing Notice To Each Other Under The Agreement” section). If a change we make to the Agreement is material and has a material adverse effect on Services under your Term Commitment, you may terminate each line of Service materially affected without incurring an Early Termination Fee only if you: (a) call us within 30 days after the effective date of the change; and (b) specifically advise us that you wish to cancel Services because of a material change to the Agreement that we have made. If you do not cancel Service within 30 days of the change, an Early Termination Fee will apply if you terminate Services before the end of any applicable Term Commitment.

T-Mobile is increasing the cost of going over your plan minutes to 40 or 45 cents per minute effective 09/01.  The exact changes for your plan will be sent out in your next cell phone bill.  You have 30 days from the date of receiving notice that this cost is rising to cancel your plan for free.

According to T-Mobile terms and condition there is no way to simply cancel your contract, you must terminate your service and you will not be liable for the ETF.

Even if you have never gone over your minutes in the past you still have the right to cancel your plan as you may go over your plan minutes in the future and T-Mobile is unilaterally modifying your contract in a materially adverse way.

It may take a few phone calls to customer service, but you should be able to find a rep to let you out of your plan for free.  If not you can always write to T-Mobile saying that you do not accept the new terms and you wish to end your contract.

If you want to port your number out of T-Mobile be sure to tell the rep this before canceling service so that they can notate your account to waive the ETF upon completion of porting your number to another carrier. If you cancel your plan before porting your number out of T-Mobile you may not be able to get your number back.

If you try to cancel be sure to let us know what happens!

Here are the relevant T-Mobile Terms and Conditions:

“5. Our Rights to Make Changes. Your Service is subject to our business policies, practices, and procedures, which we can change without notice. UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY LAW, WE CAN CHANGE PRICES, CHARGES AND ANY TERMS IN THE AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME. IF WE MATERIALLY MODIFY THESE T&Cs IN A WAY THAT IS MATERIALLY ADVERSE TO YOU, OR IF A CHANGE INCREASES YOUR SET MONTHLY RECURRING CHARGE(S) (the set amount – which does not include overage, features, optional services, taxes and fees – you agreed to pay each month for at least a one-year Term), WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH AT LEAST 30 DAYS NOTICE AND YOU MAY TERMINATE YOUR SERVICE WITHOUT AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE (WHICH IS YOUR ONLY REMEDY) BY NOTIFYING US WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER YOU RECEIVE THE NOTICE. IF YOU FAIL TO TERMINATE WITHIN THOSE 30 DAYS, YOU ACCEPT THE CHANGES.”
