One of the major questions still unanswered about the iPhone 3G on AT&T is whether or not you can do family plans with it. Good news. AT&T just let us know that yes, Family Talk plans ARE available. Voice plans start at $39.99 a month (same as the regular one-line starting plan) and additional lines will be $9.99 a month. AT&T’s expecting lots of Family Talk Plans this time around because of the $199 price point. I’m planning on signing up for a family plan as well, so it’s great news for me personally.

Finding an iPhone case that suits your needs perfectly is difficult, which is why being able to read reviews of products online before committing to a product is so helpful. One of the main problems I have run into in trying to find the perfect case is which materials are best for ease of use, look great, provide great functionality and above all protect my iPhone.

The JAVOLeather Case combines the durability of a hard case, in an attractive leather molding. The JavoEdge case does provide excellent protection for the iPhone, as the reinforced leather is lined with felt.

When the removable flip-cover is in place you would be hard-pressed to damage your iPhone if it were dropped, bumped or tossed around in a bag with other items. However, since it does come in three colors (Black, Red, Pink) and with an attached belt clip, you may find yourself attaching it to your person more often than throwing it a purse, or briefcase. Especially because the added bulk of the case pretty much prevents it from fitting nicely in pants, or suit jacket pockets.

JAVOedge was kind enough to send me some of their screen protectors to try out on the new iPAQ 200 series. The iPAQ 200 series (210, 211, 212, 214) out earlier this year, is starting to get more and more accessories for it. I wanted to provide other iPAQ users some examples of some great quality accessories for their new toy. Please note though, that anyone with a mobile device requiring a screen protector should take notice of this review, as it applies to your device as well. JAVOedge sent me a sample of their JAVOScreen 2.0 Ultra Clear and their Anti-Glare screen protector.

Over the past several years, I have been using a different brand of screen protector

When I got my new 210, I had to start using the universal size of this brand and had to cut to fit my screen size. To me, this is a real pain in the neck. I have also never been a fan of putting on the screen protectors, because of the possible dust, bubbles and repositioning. I get irritated very easily with it. But with that said, I will not use my screen without a screen protector on it. The first one I tried from JAVOedge was the Ultra Clear protector. I had visited their website to see what the actual install process was before I opened the package.

The 5 steps they list are:

1) Clean the screen with the provided cleaning cloth

2) Remove and fold the plastic backing on the new protector

3) Align the protector with the screen

4) Gently pull the full backing off

5) Gently use the application card to get rid of the bubbles

Seems simple right? I was not fully convinced yet. I opened the package to look at the contents. Inside the package were the following pieces.

1) Screen protector inside a plastic sleeve. The protector has separate plastic coverings on the front and back, which are taken off for the installation process. There are also a couple tabs that tell you which is the back and front, with the appropriate steps

2) Instruction sheet insert

3) Cleaning cloth in a separate wrap

4) Application tool in a separate plastic wrap attached to the inside of the cardboard packaging

It truly is a real nice and thought out package and kit.
