Now does this mean that they are now getting my order ready and my credit and everything has already been approved, also I tried to check my order status and apparently it cant verify my order number so should I be worried?

Should I be receiving another email to confirm or was the above it?

Question #3:

Which Phone Should I Get?

I'm getting a new phone on Thursday. It has to be from verizon wireless and it has to be less than 50 dollars with the two year contract. I want a 3G Smartphone. So which one should I get?

Here's a link to the site:

Click Here Smartphones&lid=//global//phones+and+accessories//cell+phones//3g+smartphones#

Question #4:

which cell phone case?

I'm a 15 year old girl...which case is cuter?
Click Here

or

Click Here

thanks! let me know a.s.a.p....i really need a case...so my phone can last me for another year

Question #5:

Do the same accessories that come with a new cell phone come with a refurbished phone also?

Accessories like a wireless headset or a USB cable come with some new phones for example the Blackberry Curve. But If I were to purchase a refurbished one would the same accessories come with it?

Question #6:

basic to intermediate wireless home security system?

I want to install a basic to intermediate wireless home security system to my condo and not sure which one to get. Basic requirements are

1. at least 5 contacts to secure window/door
2. will notify me through phone/email
3. pet immune motion detector
4. easy to install & expand (add more accessories later)
5. reliable and low maintenance

Price range is 200~300, I have no problem to go beyond that if it's worth it. So far two brand names seem to be possible candidates, Skylink Deluxe Kit and GE Simon 3, but I'm not sure I've checked the right place for info. Can you suggest a system/model that would best fit my needs? and which vendor to buy from?

Thanks!

Question #7:

Should i go with Dell Studio XPS 16 or Alienware M17x?

Question #8:

Can you tell me the name of this phone?

If you go to Verizon.com, click on wireless, go to phones and accessories, then click on 3G Multimedia Phones. On the side of the page it will have a little box that says "Existing Customers". Can someone please tell me the name of the phone inside that box.

Question #9:

I am a customer that is moving from T-mobile over to Verizon Wireless. I was wondering if I order 2 cellphones tomorrow on the family share plan at 11:30 A.M., How long will it take for the phones to ship with the accessories that I also ordered (I am ordering 2 Droids, screen protectors, and 2 cases)?

HI, i want to get my boyfriend something for his iphone (im not sure which one it is, but he got it about a month ago new from Apple). he doesnt really like any cases or covers. He is IN LOVE with this phone. He often runs the battery out when hes out of the house, but i dont think his car outlet works so i was looking for some kind of wireless charger?

Or a gift card for apps if that even exists? haha GUYS (not girls- sorry) please tell me your favorite iPhone accessory!!! I need help!! :)

Question #20:

Can someone read my essay.Feel free to change anything!?

In my english class we are suppose to write a essay about how we feel about computer then swithc it at the end,.


Have you ever imagined life before computers? Where you had no choice but to write how you felt in a letter, not over Myspace or Facebook. You would actually have to go to the library and look up an answer in a book, rather then just typing something into Google. Your friends would have to ask how you are that day because twitter did not exist. You would actually have to have pictures printed, instead of just uploading them on Photobucket. Could you imagine a life where you would have to go and buy a record and could not just download it off of itunes. Where you would have to work hard to be famous and not just make a you tube video.
In my English class we had to type a letter and address the envelope. We all franticly whispered, “how do you address this thing?“ Our teacher gave us a disappointed chuckle and told us he couldn’t believe we don’t even know how to send a letter,(I just you tubed it off my phone).
Technology is taking over and advancing faster than humans are. When the personal computer came out, everyone needed to have so many other accessories. It was ridiculous. You need a web cam, mouse, mouse pad, keyboard, modem, wireless router, printer, and speakers. Not only do they cost a lot of money, there are so many wires. It is like you are asking for a fire. I don’t even want to think about how people would write without spell check. We all take so much for granted and we let the computer rule our lives. The human brain does not work as hard, thanks to this wonderful device that makes life easier. As stupid as it sounds we all need myspace, face book, twitter, photobucket, and you tube to live our lives. Not all of us will admit it, but we are all addicted.
