Buy a Pronto from Amazon right now (http://www.amazon.com/Peek-Messaging-Lifetime-Service-Included/dp/B002MXXBKY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1254279063&sr=8-2) and you will get a lifetime of free text messaging, email, GPS, and internet applications like Facebook for the one time only fee of $299.95.

23jj Very nice blog, I'd like to buy The Pronto, because is a smart-phone, and most of the versions are in the market, by the way, it's an important the point about, they will offer customers services like Generic Viagra does. I liked the "upgradable" point, that's a good idea, specially in this kind of gadgets.
In the pharmacy where I work a friend of my have one of these, is very useful if you like to read or study, thanks
