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.

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. Listen to Kirk Feller, and watch him demonstrate BodyGuardz, a seemingly indestructible shield for your screen or your entire device.

To bling or not to bling. That is the question. Of course, there is such a wide range of cell phone accessory bling available now, you can go from tacky to tasteful by merely changing cases.
The CTIA 2008 cellular phone conference was proof that accessory manufacturers have suddenly realized there are at least as many women as men with mobile phones. And by some stroke of luck, they realized that women are far more likely to buy and own multiple cases for those phones than men. They are, after all, accessories – and accessorizing is something at which we women have excelled for generations. I have captured two shining examples in video that take you from the refined to the "so over the top I am at a loss for words."

Palm is clearly very good at carrier relations. Palm smartphones that start out popular in America and Europe quickly spread to carriers throughout those continents and elsewhere in the world.
Recently, Palm announced significant new deployments of the Centro smartphone. StarHub Mobile is rolling out the device in Singapore, and Telcel and Movistar are releasing the phone in Mexico. The Centro is being sold in Mexico in blue, a new color.
