Wirefly

Well, 2006 is over and last week Wirefly, a leader in the world of comparison shopping for wireless phones, phone plans and phone accessories, announced their list of the top ten best selling cell phones of 2006? Can you guess which one made it to the top of the list? I'll give you a hint. It's super slim and the name sounds like something that you'd find in the medine cabinet. No, it's not what you're thinking, silly! It's the RAZR!!!! Cingulars Motorola Razr came in first, followed by the T-Mobiles Razr and Verizon's Razr. If you'd like to see what else made the list, you can do so here.

One year ago, Wirefly also predicted several trends that they thought would influence people's purchase of cell phones. How did those trends compare to Wirefly's predictions?

1. Music and mobile TV phones
Yep, you guessed it. Nine out of the top ten phones were camera phones and a lot of the new models shipped by Wirefly in 2006 emphasized music capabilities.

2. Bigger selection of smartphones with more robust operating systems
2006 did see the introduction of exciting smartphones like the Treo 700 series, the Motorola Q, the Blackberry Pearl and Blackberry 8700 series, and Pocket PC's like the Verizon XV6700. This just proves that users still demand functionality.

3. Cell phones designed for children
There were very strong growth sales for phones made just for kids. Wirefly also
made a deal with Disney Mobile, which is now a featured carrier on their site.

4. Expanded GPS services
Increased marketing of GPS services by the cell phone carriers themselves. Wirefly also expects to see this trend continue.

What really drew me to Wirefly though was how easy it was to compare cell phone prices and services. I don't usually visit comparison websites, but Wirefly made it so easy that I will from now on.

Fun Weekend


We celebrated my hubby's birthday this past weekend with a trip to Casino Aztar. He was all excited about going. We also got to see Joan Jett in concert while we were there on Friday night. She was playing at Hoosier's Lounge, which we have to walk through to get to the casino, so we stopped and enjoyed that for awhile too. I love Joan Jett! She is such a hard rocker and really had the crowd moving with her songs. Even hubby was dancing (inconspicuously, of course) along with everyone. After listening to several of her songs, including "I love Rock and Roll" and "Bad Reputation" we went on to the casino. We usually just play the slot machines as neither one of us are good at any of the other games, but hubby decided to try his hand at Blackjack this time. He didn't do bad and he stopped when he started to lose. He ended up winning $50 from five games. Saturday afternoon was spent playing at the arcade, bowling and swimming in the hotel pool. It was really a nice, relaxing way to spend a birthday. We did come home to find 3" of snow on the ground, but even that didn't put a damper on the weekend.

Free Online Games

I don't get the chance very often, but when I do I LOVE to Play Games online. My favorite type of games to play online are word games, but I like the casino games too. I've been going to a new website called Game-2-Play.com and it is great. There are over 150 games to play, all of them are flash so no downloads to your computer needed and best of all they are free! You don't have to register to play either although if you do you will get unlimited game play 24/7! Visit them now and relax with some fun games.

Cool Picture Quiz

I received an email yesterday from a friend of mine about a picture quiz. It's really cool, but as slow as my email is there is no way I was going to send that many pictures to everyone. I'd be sending for a week! So, thought I'd just post a few each day here on my blog instead.

1) Who Am I?



2) Who knows me best?

Driver's License


My daughter will be getting her driver's license in just a few months. It's all she ever talks about anymore. Every time we go somewhere, she wants to drive. Most times I let her, but there are days when I just want to get there and I don't. Those are the days that she thinks I'm evil. Yesterday was one of them. She wanted to drive into school. I said "not today" and she went ballistic. I know she needs the practice, but come on. Don't bite the hand that holds those car keys, girl, or you won't be driving at all.

In my state, kids have to have at least 50 hours of driving time BEFORE they are allowed to get their license. My daughter only has 15 hours in, but one of her friends has almost 25 and that's just not fair. Never mind the fact that her friend has had her permit for two months LONGER then my daughter. I get hit by these questions anyway. Why can't she drive more? Don't we want her to get better at driving? Why are we so mean? Hello? Is she paying for the gas? We let her drive as much as possible, but we're not going to be driving around for no reason, it's just too expensive. I'm sure she'll figure that out once she does have to pay for the gas herself, but now it just means we are evil parents who aren't cool.

It's snowing!

For the first time this winter, it is actually snowing today. And it is sticking to the ground. That part I could do without. I like to look at it, but don't want to drive in it or walk in it or anything like that. And it is downright cold out there today. For the most part, this winter has been really mild with temps no lower then 35 degrees, but today the high is only 24. Brr! It can stop now. I'm ready for spring!

Maildrop

What is a maildrop? A maildrop is a secure address, recognized by the postal service, where you can rent a box and use it as a postal address. You might know them better as letter boxes, mailbox rentals, remailing services, forwarding services. Basically, it is a business that allows customers to use their mailing address for a small fee.

Who would use a maildrop? People who travel or spend long periods away from home, such as truck drivers, retired individuals and out of state college applicants.

If this sounds like something you would like to check into, check out the remailingservice at www.maildropguide.com. They are the largest internet directory of mail boxes, mail drops and remailing services.

It must be a guy thing

Had my sit down chat with hubby last night. I don't think much got through to him though. It must be a guy thing because while talking to my mom this morning she said that my dad does a lot of the same things that my hubby does. Hmm. Well, if she can put up with it for 40 years, i guess I can too:)

Sometimes I hate my hubby!

Today is one of those days. Normally, he can get away with a lot before I really get peeved at him. However, he's used up all those free passes this weekend. Between being a sarcastic pain in the a** and his constant putdowns, I've had it up to HERE! Tonight, whether he wants to or not, we're having a little chat about this!

Teen Website

If you have a teen, I imagine they like to keep in touch with their friends either by phone, email or instant messaging. There are also several websites out there that pertain to teens where they can set up message boards and keep in touch with friends that way. My daughter recently ran across a website called Sconex. It's a bit different from the other websites she has seen as they offer "quizzes" or "teen quizzes" on their site. These quizzes are made up by YOU and can be sent to your friends or published on your site for everyone to take. My daughter told me that this was one of the main reasons she signed up for this website because it sounded like a lot of fun.

Shopping Spree

I finally took some time to shop for some new clothes for myself. I am one that almost always puts my family before myself when it comes to certain things, clothes being one of them. It must be something about becoming a mom that makes that gene appear because I know I never did that before I was married. It was all about me then:) Anyway, I rarely buy clothes for myself because 1)I hate to shop 2)I hate to shop and 3)I hate to shop, but when you can see THROUGH a SWEATSHIRT(!) that means it is too old to wear in public anymore and it is time to shop whether you like it or not. I did good. I found four new shirts that will take me through the winter. I know, I should have probably bought an entire new wardrobe, but hey, this is progress for me. My daughter was even proud of me for picking a few hipper styles so maybe she won't be too embarrassed to be seen in public with me anymore. Yeah, right. My next shopping trip will have to include blue jeans. I am down to just a couple of pair that fit. That trip won't happen for awhile, but when it does I'm sure (insert sarcasm) it will be a LOT of fun!
