Being open could close the door on Android

While I may recommend the iPhone to the majority of people who ask , Android is still my mobile operating system of choice.

BlackBerry in the UK: Pay As You Go vs Contract

With the BlackBerry Smartphone being so popular here in the UK, one predicament that many parents may well have when buying a lower end device for their children is do they go down the contract route or Pay As You Go (PAYG). I thought I would have a look at the options and compare the costs over a two year period, as this is how you get the best deal on a contract.
