How many times have you called someone from your mobile phone instead of sending an email because you didn’t want a “paper trail?”  Maybe because you didn’t want an email to be forwarded on because the information was confidential.  Perhaps the message you chose to conduct over a direct phone call from your mobile contained key product or shipping dates.  Perhaps the information was a bit more sensitive. We’ve all likely done it at one point or another — picked up the phone instead of pressing “send” on an email because we believe it’s more direct; and, frankly, we often believe it is more secure.

Last week I posted an update on Cellcrypt, a company who specializes in securing voice traffic on mobile phones through their unique peer-to-peer device application.  Cellcrypt had just released it’s application for the latest Bold 9700, Curve 8900, and BlackBerry Pearl devices.  My original take was, just a bit, tongue-in-cheek.  It seemed a bit of a niche product, securing mobile to mobile voice calls.  Well, last week I got the chance to sit down with Kathleen Peters, Cellcrypt’s General Manager for North & South America, and got an eye-opening view of the Cellcrypt solution.

With Project Dark now shown the light, we thought T-Mobile would be keeping things on the down-low for a bit until the new line of Christmas phones would be coming out.  Not so.

T-Mobile has launched a new program called T-Mobile Complete.  With T-Mobile Complete, interested folks can pick from four cell phones, including a Blackberry CUrve 8520, pick their plan, and away they go.  This is the first time we have seen a prepaid Balckberry from these guys.  Phones will start from $60 with plans starting from $50/month.

No information is up yet on T-Mobile’s web site, but it won’t take long for them to remedy that.

It will be interesting to see if buyers will take the gamble on T-Mobile, especially with all the buzz surrounding Verizon and the Droid.  T-Mobile definitely has an advantage with the best customer service rating of all the carriers, but will that give enough people cause to give them a try.

This has been a while in coming … since the launch of the PSP Go I have been annoyed that many games are coming out on UMD but not on the PSN Store, and many that DO come out are a few days or even a couple of weeks later. Certainly none of them are on sale, whereas Amazon had the wonderful new Half Minute Hero for 1/3 off the other day! Of course, that game also took 2 weeks to transition from UMD to PSN after release. OK … but those are all third party games and Sony has to negotiate with publishers to get them to release digital copies.
