Most cellphone users have experienced the harsh reality of "you get what you pay for." The excitement of receiving your dirt-cheap, or even free, phone when you sign up for service wears off when you see the person sitting next to you at the meeting taking notes or checking e-mail on their new BlackBerry or Treo. Well, it turns out your little flip phone may be capable of more than meets the eye.
As Larry Magid of the New York Times discovered, the average cellphone user doesn't need to shell out hundreds of dollars in order to enjoy the benefits of a smartphone. Many inexpensive cellphones come with exciting built-in features such as note-taking applications, instant messaging and MP3 players. Make sure to ask your cellular carrier about the additional programs and services they can provide for your phone.
Your options go beyond your cellular carrier, too. It's now possible to access Gmail, get GPS navigation tools and even subscribe to blog feeds--all through your very own cellphone!
