Selling Smartphones

One of the biggest problems (in my opinion) with cell-phone carriers these days is the inability to really try a cell-phone before you purchase.  When a customer walks into Best Buy, they are expecting to touch, look at and play with the devices inside the store.  Best Buy stores (and other similar retailers) generally have a section of technology products that a customer can demo--be it a laptop, desktop or other techno-widget-device, however when it comes to cell phones everybody is lacking it seems...

Cable Bills!

Yesterday I got a bit frustrated, yet again, with the massive cable bill from Comcast.
