		<description><![CDATA[T-Mobile is now taking pre-orders on the iPhone 5, and hoping to lure people over from larger carriers with the promise of cheap wireless service. While there&#8217;s no shortage of articles and charts comparing T-Mobile&#8217;s new plans to other carriers, I&#8217;ve come to realize that it&#8217;s hard to make those comparisons in a general way. Every user is different, so doing the math based on hypothetical situations might not help you. So rather than trying to figure out whether the T-Mobile iPhone is a good deal for you, I&#8217;ve put together some steps to figuring it out on your own. Teach a man to fish, and all that: Start with the base cost of T-Mobile service. For individuals, that&#8217;s $50 per month for 500 MB, $60 per month for 2 GB and $70 per month for unlimited data. All plans include unlimited voice and text, and there are no overage fees if you go over your data limit&#8211;just slower speeds. Families: For a second line, add another $30 per month for 500-MB plans, $40 for 2 GB, and $50 for unlimited data. For each line after that (up to five lines total), add another $10 per month for 500 MB, $20 for 2 GB and $30 for unlimited data. Add another $20 per month, per iPhone, which goes toward paying off the device in monthly installments over two years. Compare the total to your current monthly wireless bill. Now you know how T-Mobile compares with your current carrier for the first two years of service. After two years, your bill on T-Mobile will be $20 per month cheaper, at least until you buy a new phone. But you should also consider that the up-front cost of the iPhone is $100 cheaper on T-Mobile than it is everywhere else. This can make a big difference on the total, two-year cost of ownership, especially for families with multiple iPhones. Therefore: Multiply your current monthly bill by 24. Do the same for what your monthly bill would be on T-Mobile. Add $200 per<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=159692&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google might be considering ways to become a wireless carrier, if a report from the Wall Street Journal is accurate. According to &#8220;people familiar with the discussions,&#8221; Google has talked with Dish Network about the possibility of creating a new wireless service. Although Dish is known mainly for its satellite-TV offerings, the company is sitting on some unused wireless spectrum and has openly talked about building a new network with a partner. Google is one of the companies that has shown interest. The negotiations weren&#8217;t in advanced stages, the Journal reports, so this could turn out to be nothing. Still, the idea of a wireless service from Google is interesting to think about, and it would make sense both to the company and to users. Wireless carriers need disruption. They slather their phones — particularly Android devices — in bloatware that you can&#8217;t remove. They invent new fees without good reason. They find ways to charge you extra to use the data you already pay for. They stick their logos in unsightly places, presumably just to remind you who&#8217;s boss. There&#8217;s no guarantee a Google wireless service would provide the opposite experience, but at least Google has different motivations. Instead of simply trying to juice average revenue per user, Google&#8217;s priority is to get people hooked on Android so that they&#8217;re always buying apps and media and relying heavily on Google search. Android is already everywhere, so why isn&#8217;t the status quo good enough? Because once Google releases a version of Android, the company has limited ability to control it. That&#8217;s why you get bloatware and why the software updates that Google delivers never seem to come fast enough, if at all, to your AT&#38;T or Verizon phone. It&#8217;s also why Google Wallet, a service that lets you pay with your phone at retailers, isn&#8217;t available on most Android phones; the wireless carriers have declined to install it as they build their own competing services. Google&#8217;s Nexus phones, built in close conjunction with a hardware partner and sold directly by Google, are<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=151564&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is the ability to upload and share your digital camera&#8217;s photos from anywhere worth $10 per month? AT&#38;T thinks so. That&#8217;s what it&#8217;ll cost, at minimum, to use Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy Camera on AT&#38;T&#8217;s network. The camera, which launches on November 16, has 4G LTE connectivity, and runs a version of Google&#8217;s Android software, so it can directly share photos with apps like Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. I like the concept, at least. Although smartphone cameras are often good enough for basic photos, their smaller image sensors and lack of optical zoom mean you&#8217;ll still want a proper digital camera in some situations. But once you&#8217;re accustomed to sharing photos instantly on your phone, it&#8217;s hard going back to a camera that can&#8217;t. The Galaxy Camera has a 4.8-inch touch display and offers the connectivity of  a smartphone combined with a 21x optical zoom lens and 16-megapixel backside illuminated CMOS sensor. Here&#8217;s the bad news: To get 4G LTE connectivity, you&#8217;ll have to pay a monthly toll to AT&#38;T, in addition to the $500 cost of the camera itself. If you&#8217;re on AT&#38;T&#8217;s new Mobile Share plans, the Galaxy Camera costs $10 per month to connect, and taps into your existing bucket of data. For users without Mobile Share, data plans for the Galaxy Camera cost $15 per month for 250 MB, $30 per month for 3 GB or $50 per month for 5 GB. Of course, it&#8217;s AT&#38;T&#8217;s right to charge whatever the company thinks is fair, and I have no idea how profitable a camera with a data plan will be. But either way, it&#8217;s bad for innovation. By tacking on a monthly charge for every connected device, no matter how much or how little it gets used, wireless carriers are holding back a future where all kinds of devices can have constant Internet access. It&#8217;s funny, because AT&#38;T seems to want that future, but only if customers are willing to pay through the nose for it. In an interview with All Things Digital in September, AT&#38;T&#8217;s head of<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=151069&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AT&#38;T is slowly allowing more iPhone and iPad owners to use FaceTime for video chat over its network, but many users will remain shut out for the time being. When Apple enabled its FaceTime video chat service over cellular networks in iOS 6, AT&#38;T limited the service to users of Mobile Share data plans. Those plans, which launched in August, let subscribers share a single pool of data across multiple phones, tablets, hotspots and other devices. Over the next eight to ten weeks, subscribers with regular tiered data plans on LTE devices &#8212;    that is, an iPhone 5 or a third-generation or higher iPad &#8212; will be able to use FaceTime over cellular as well. For those users, FaceTime will work over LTE, HSPA+ and regular 3G networks, as well as Wi-Fi. If you have an unlimited data plan, or an older iPhone or iPad, you&#8217;ll only be able to use FaceTime over Wi-Fi for now. Jim Cicconi, AT&#38;T&#8221;s Senior Executive Vice President of External and Legislative Affairs, argued in a blog post that the carrier has to limit the flow of new FaceTime users on its network, or else voice calls and other services may suffer. He pointed out that AT&#38;T has more iPhones on its network than any other carrier, and because FaceTime is already preloaded on the iPhone 4 and up, there was no way to be sure that video chat wouldn&#8217;t weigh down the network. The argument sounds good, but as Karl Bode at DSL Reports points out, AT&#38;T often relies on congestion as an excuse for its policies, yet it never provides data to back up those assertions. The fact that AT&#38;T is lifting FaceTime restrictions in order of what&#8217;s the most lucrative &#8212; first Mobile Share, then regular tiered data plans, then maybe grandfathered unlimited plans in the future &#8212; suggests that caution isn&#8217;t the carrier&#8217;s only motivation. So it&#8217;s good to hear that Free Press, which along with other advocacy groups had threatened to file an FCC complaint against AT&#38;T, will still do so if<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=150869&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The AT&#38;T store employee, iPhone 5 box in-hand, looked at me like I was crazy. &#8220;You want to pay full price? Why?&#8221; It was hard to explain in the moment, but the reason was that I&#8217;m obsessed with tech stuff (justified, somewhat, by my job writing about it.) I&#8217;d like to switch phones every year, alternating between platforms so I can fully experience each one. My last phone was a Samsung Galaxy S II, this year&#8217;s is the iPhone 5, and next year I&#8217;ll get a new Android phone, or maybe a Windows Phone. On AT&#38;T, it&#8217;s actually cheaper to pay full price for a new phone partway through a two-year contract than it is to take a partially-discounted upgrade every year, so although I paid more up front for the iPhone 5, I&#8217;ll save more in the long run. This is just one of the things to keep in mind if you want to be a frequent smartphone switcher. Although I suspect most people are fine with upgrading every two or more years, the smartphone market is becoming so diverse that owning more phones might make sense. Maybe you want Samsung&#8217;s humongous Galaxy Note II during the week, but something smaller when you&#8217;re out on the weekends. Or perhaps you want to impulse-buy Google&#8217;s unlocked Nexus 4, but would still like another phone that supports 4G LTE networks. If you want to switch smartphones more often, here&#8217;s what you need to know: SIM Card Basics AT&#38;T and T-Mobile use a little card called a SIM to authenticate their subscribers. On the iPhone 5, you&#8217;ll find this card in a tray along the right edge, which you can eject with a small paperclip. If you have two AT&#38;T phones, or two T-Mobile phones, you can transfer wireless service between them by moving the SIM card from one device to the other. You don&#8217;t have to take your phone to a retail store, or otherwise get any special permission to switch. For that reason, AT&#38;T and T-Mobile are better options for<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=techland.time.com&#038;blog=5290478&#038;post=149998&#038;subd=timenerdworld&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
