Well, I upgraded to the LG Voyager (Verizon Wireless). I wanted a touch screen phone and was debating between the LG Dare and the Voyager. After playing around a bit, I felt that the Voyager was the way to go. The Dare seemed a little clunky and harder to navigate then the Voyager.
Pros: The resolution is amazing. Way better than the EnV that I previously owned. The Mobile Web browser is stunning compared to the past phones that I have used. Battery life is great! I have owned it for a week now and only charged it once. The all black design is very sleek and glossy and looks amazing. I was hesitant on the touch screen, but it actually performed better than expected!
Cons: Obviously with Verizon they want you to pay for EVERYTHING. But if you have a little computer savyness I would suggest downloading BitPim and make your own ring tones. It also can integrate with Outlook so your calendar can be right on your phone. Trying to find the right wallpaper is a little hard cause it cuts off most of it....but if you find an image that has a black or white background its great. The vibration could also be better. With the EnV I would fly out of my chair when it vibrated...now I can barley feel the vibration if im at a bar or other establishment. Those are really the only cons I have found.
So would I recommend this phone. The answer is YES!!

Pay at the Pump??? WTF

This is kind of a side note, but I like to keep up on current gas and oil screwings and have just found a new one! So buyers beware. For those of you that pay at pump with your credit card, that gas station is taking $75.00 or more dollars out of your bank account for their "cushion". They say it's because they dont know how much you are going to spend so they just figure they should take anywhere from $75-$100.00 out of your account until they feel like taking clearing your payment.
This happened to me and it overdrew my checking account. After calling the bank and talking to this nice lady on the phone, she had a similar story where her son took a road trip and filled up 4 times on the way. Of course, he used pay at the pump. What did this mean for him? No vacation for him because they took over $400.00 out of his account for this so called "cushion" and all the associated overdraft fees! What a great world we live in huh?
Just thought I would spread the word. Good luck and happy gettin screwed at the pump.

Fat Burners you say!

How many of you out there are like..God I want to shed these pounds, I wish there was a magic pill. Well, these are not magic pills but they can help you in your quest to get a better body (remember you have to workout in order to see any benefits;)). I will list some that are stimulants and some that aren't, because so people just cant handle the effects of stimulants. So, heeeerrree we go
Lipo 6- (stimulant) This is the most talked about fat burner at that moment and yes I have tried it. I'm not here to endorse any products, just to give my unbiased reviews of products. You will defiantly see some results with this product, but please be careful as there is a loottttt of stimulants in this product that will either leave you bouncing off the wall or have a panic attack lol. Start with the lowest dose possible, don't think your superman and take the recommended dose right away or you will regret it. I use this product to cut up for the summer and it works great. So, yes I recommend it!
Hydroxycut- (stimulant) This is pretty much just caffeine and a bunch of other stuff that really didn't do it for me. Some people have seen results on it, but it just didn't make the cut as far as I am concerned. So, no I do not recommend this product.
Caffeine/Green Tea Combo- (stimulant) When I am on a budget, this is two products that are in the most popular fat burners to date. The caffeine and Green Tea work wonders together and I highly recommend them for the budget conscience.
CLA- (non-stimulant)conjugated linoleic acid is the scientific name for it and is a non essential amino acid that helps promote weight loss and retain muscular gains. I take this product everyday and I swear by it. It is especially good to take when you are cutting down calories and want to hold onto that hard earned muscle! Highly recommended!
Chitosan- (non-stimulant) This is pretty much a glorified fiber pill and do not recommend it one bit. The people who decided to put this "carb blocker" on the market should be fired from their jobs.
Fiber- (non-stimulant)- Ok, not many people know this but taking a fiber supplement has many benefits for weight loss; including reduced hunger, stable blood sugar levels which is essential for weight loss (we dont want those nasty spikes in insulin to happen or it is excessive fats little playground). If you don't know about fiber by now, I would suggest reading up on it for its benefits! I take Benefiber daily and highly recommend it!
Well thats it for now, feel free to comment about any of my recommendations or ask any questions you want about them.
