Here is the Phone Scoop video:
 

 
I love the Qwerty board for easy web browsing and text messaging! The keys are small, but not so small that you can't type easily.  The Qwerty board retracts for normal use as well!  It makes it easy to keep in touch on the go and the size is perfect!  It runs 3G and can access most of AT&T's services. The keyboards stay active simultaneously to give you fast access to both letters and numbers when messaging. The camera and mobile video recorder capture your life – from profile pics to video blogs. Plus, you can play your soundtrack using the music player and built-in speaker or connect to Mobile Web with 3G speed.

Baby's 1st Phone Call Review and Giveaway!

One of the biggest tasks of a new mom is trying to call EVERYONE and let them know that they finally have their sweet bundle of joy! But sometimes, between extended families and lots of friends, this can go from an exciting moment to a stressful one.  Now, bring in Baby's 1st Phone Call, who will make those calls for you!


Baby's First Phone Call is an automated call tree that allows you to notify all of your friends and family of the arrival of your bundle of joy without the hassle of making dozens of individual phone calls, or leaving some friends and family to find out second- or third-hand.
With Baby's First Phone Call, you set up an account before your baby is born—when you still have a moment of time to yourself—and enter the names and phone numbers of all the people you want to notify when the baby arrives. Then, after the baby is born, you make a single phone call and leave a personal voice-mail message of any length with all the details you want to share.
Not only can you tell your friends and family when your little bundle arrived, you can share information such as the hospital and room number you're in and whether and when you'd like to receive visitors.
Our system places calls to each of the phone numbers in your account. If the person answers the phone they hear your happy message. If they don't answer, the message is left on their voicemail or answering machine. In either case, there is an option for them to leave you a return message that you can pick up at your convenience.
It's really that easy! You're doing all the hard work; let us make spreading the good news easy for you.
Use Baby's First Phone Call to notify your book group, your friends from Lamaze class, your co-workers and your extended family. Now you have the perfect way to send a personal message with your joyous news to everyone in your network!
With Baby's First Phone Call, you won't forget to notify anyone of your news and nobody will be the last to know!
