Last night I saw a U.S. Cellular commercial about swapping your old cell phone battery for a new one without paying. This is what I call competition at it’s best! The more cell phone carriers there are the more they compete for our business. Over time if one carrier makes a major decision and it attracts customers others will follow. Therefore, maybe we’ll see the other carriers adopt the free battery swap approach. There’s nothing worse than your battery dying and your carrier telling you that you have to pay for another one. If my battery stops working I expect a new one without having to pay. You can read more about the U.S. Cellular battery swap at US Cellular battery swap.

I guess the Palm Pre hasn’t given Sprint the boost it was expecting. Instead Sprint is reportedly down 257,000 customers in the second quarter of this year. Not a good sign at all. The downward slide for Sprint continues. It’s really a shame. I remember when Sprint was the king of the hill. I still blame the skid on poor phone choices. How many “killer” phones can you say Sprint had first? For the most part Sprint is the 2nd or 3rd company to get popular phones. By the time Sprint offers the phone their customers have already jumped to the other carrier to get the phone first. Maybe Sprint will get their mojo back someday. Not to be a snob but look at their website. It really doesn’t scream we’re a cutting edge company. I think Sprint needs an extreme makeover.

In Mariah Carey’s latest music video for her single “Obsession” she makes fun of her nemesis Eminem. Trust me, even though this looks nothing like Mariah, it is. In this picture she’s holding the Nokia N97. Celebrities really do get all the perks. This phone hasn’t even been released yet in the US. Why is it the more famous you become the more things are handed to you for free?

With just about every company scrambling to create an app it was only a matter of time before Sirius XM took there music directly to the iPhone. Sirius XM subscribers can now listen to their favorite channels directly on their iPhone. This can be done one of two ways, either via a 3G network or Wi-Fi. The application is free to download. Again, if you’re a Sirius XM subscriber you do not have to pay anymore for this service. If you’re not a customer you have a 7 day trial period and then you will need to sign-up for a subscription. The service costs around $13 a month. If you think about it, that’s a little more than the price of a CD. So if you’re tired of listening to your same MP3s over and over again give this service a try. Sirius XM did a good job integrating the look and feel into the phone with a simple user interface. You can download the application at Sirius XM iPhone App.
