Using alternate voicemail with Sprint can be painful. Sprint customer service very begrudgingly changed my "no answer, forward" number to YouMail so that I could try it out.

(N.B. for Sprint customers: The customer service representative (CSR) who I spoke to assured me that customers can now set the "no answer, forward" number themselves. Unfortunately, the code she gave me to use didn't work. So be firm with Sprint CSR if you want to take advantage of services like YouMail.)

YouMail has some innovative and fun features. The basic premise behind YouMail is that everyone should be greeted personally, and traditional voicemail doesn't do that. So while you can have a standard outgoing message to everyone, you can also have dozens of personal outgoing messages played to individual callers that you can change whenever you want. YouMail matches your caller's caller ID with your address book to give each caller a totally unique voicemail experience.

Wouldn't it be nice if domain naming followed a standard protocol? Vance Hedderel, Director of PR and Communications at dotMobi certainly thinks so. In this CTIA interview, Vance tells us the point behind standardization, and who is behind the movement.

With the plethora of devices available with internet access, it becomes more and more important for internet content providers to be aware of the needs of the consumer.

Much has been discussed in the forums about screen protectors. We almost universally agree that they are a necessity, but which is the best? That decision is about to become just a little harder.

After speaking to Ivan McDonald about Dial2Do at CTIA, I was really anxious to try their service. I logged on as soon as I returned home. After about 10 days I received my invitation to join the closed beta.

Looking forward to comparing Dial2Do with Jott, I started adding contacts. Any time I can import contacts, I'm happy, and being able to import my entire address book and then check off the ones I actually wanted to use in Dial2Do made me very happy!

Have you ever met someone great, gotten their phone number, but it never seemed to turn into a date?

Recently, Nick Savoy, President of Love Systems, Inc., wrote an article and recorded a podcast for mytreo.net to introduce what he calls “dating science.” He explored techniques taught by his twenty instructors at one of the most successful social coaching companies in the world. Nick’s instructors and methodology were recently featured on Dr. Phil, Keys to the VIP, Fox News and a host of other top shows.

Thanks to popular culture, women are bombarded with strategies for attracting men. Widely read magazines such as Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Allure, Vanity Fair and Glamour are arsenals of ideas. As a result, women are generally comfortable talking freely among themselves about attraction. Men, however, have few good sources for information, and are discouraged from discussing the subject matter, which for them can be considered taboo.

For an introduction to SEVEN, refer to our article, "True Push e-mail for Free? Yes!"

When Scott Boehmer caught up with me at CTIA, I forgave him immediately for running a little late. How can you hold a grudge against someone whose main cell phone is a Centro?!

Scott is the Director of Marketing and Sales for SEVEN, and he’s not just the Director, he’s an end user with all the interest and concerns as the rest of us. As a matter of fact, when I asked about my biggest complaint with SEVEN’s email client for Palm OS, he was right there with me. Unfortunately, he also confided that the development team doesn’t necessarily listen to him either, but they’re working on better support for a true IMAP experience.
