BillShrink’s Cell Phone Advisor is a useful web app that helps you search for a cheaper cell phone plan. You enter your current monthly bill, the name of your carrier, and other information, and the Cell Phone Advisor presents other plans that could save you money. If you find a plan you like, Cell Phone Advisor will send you over to the carrier’s website to complete the purchase.
They’ve also created a handy infographic, titled “The New Generation of Smart Phones,” which compares side-by-side the features of the three hottest smart phones: the iPhone 3GS, the Palm Pre, and the Motorola Droid. It surprised me to see the last row of numbers, which is the total cost of ownership for a 2-year contract. The iPhone and Droid each come in at $2,839 and the Pre is $2,359. Those monthly bills really add up!
