MetroPCS has now revised some of its service plans and offered more features with them. Their $40 plan now comes with additional nationwide calling minutes, messaging and web data as well. The usual $45 comes with an extra unlimited email messaging service, navigation and social networking facility. The lowest priced plan, which costs $35, includes caller ID and call waiting.
Obviously, these new plans are an answer to Sprint, Boost Mobile, Cricket Wireless and other competitors’ efforts to remain on top of the market. Whatever the reason, we customers are at an advantage, aren’t we, guys?

Now you no longer need to buy your fave Palm Pre from Best Buy or Sprint. You can instead purchase it online from Amazon. The beautiful smartphone has just arrived on the super retailer’s website. The best thing about getting this phone from Amazon is that you don’t need to care about mail-in rebates and such other stuff, as it is available for a nice $199.99.
Also, you can get the Palm Pre from Amazon, without contract, for $499.99, which is a good $50 lesser than when you purchase from Sprint. Incidentally, Best Buy’s pricing for the same is $749.99, which means, purchasing from Amazon makes it dirt cheap. The catch? Well, Amazon says that they will not begin shipping for the next 4-6 weeks, which is the pathetic bit here.
