What smartphone is comparable to the Apple iPhone? - Lamothe

The most comparable smartphone currently on the market is likely going to be an Android phone. These cell phones are fast, have beautiful displays, do a good job with video, have a ton of downloadable apps (not to mention there are quite a few free good apps), will support multiple e-mail addresses, and have a similar UI. Here would be my suggestions by each carrier:

Verizon Wireless: HTC Incredible

Sprint: HTC EVO 4G - This smartphone is a bit wider than the iPhone, but has a superior display. Also supports 4G and can be turned into a Mobile HotSpot so you can share the phone's 3G or 4G data connection with up to 8 other WiFi-enabled devices.

T-Mobile: MyTouch 3G Slide - This cell phone even has square-shaped icons similar to those found on the iPhone and also has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

AT&T: Motorola Backflip

If I were to order a cell phone from LetsTalk.com, what are the hidden costs?- Suzie

There are no hidden monetary costs when ordering from LetsTalk. The only thing you may consider a "hidden cost" is that you have to wait two days to get your phone. If you don't want to wait to get the new cell phone, you can always pay extra for overnight shipping. Click this link to find out more about ordering a cell phone from LetsTalk.
