22We Have a Winner!
Congrats to KimS for winning the Nokia E71x in our Father’s Day giveaway!
When asked “how does your dad (or husband) stay calm, cool & connected?” KimS answered:
“If our baby knew how to type, he’d say that his daddy is C-cubed … calm, cool, and connected. Being first-time parents, we had no idea what to expect. Not only did my husband help me through a surprise C-section he never missed a beat keeping his business running smoothly and his employees employed through the recession. He’s a dedicated father, loving husband, and supportive boss.”
Congrats KimS! To claim your prize, please respond to the email waiting in your inbox.
Thanks to everyone who entered! We’ll have more of these giveaways in the future so check back to see what other cool prizes we’ll be giving away. And happy belated Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

15Win A Phone for Dad!
Hey everyone, we have a big surprise! Father’s Day is less than a week away, so in honor of all the dads out there, we’re hosting our first giveaway! All you need to do is leave a comment telling us why your husband (or dad) is “calm, cool and connected” and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a new Nokia E71X - the thinnest smartphone yet.
It’s the perfect gift for the professional dad who wants to combine his personal and business life. It has all the “business” tools, like corporate email and document viewing, and all the cool “personal” features like a music player, 3.2 megapixel camera and video share capability. I’ve been trying one out for the last few weeks and I have to admit, my husband has been dropping some major hints that he wouldn’t mind having one for Father’s Day. (Too bad employees aren’t eligible to win. Sorry honey!)
I even took a few minutes to give a mini-review. Check it out!

One Friday night, my sister and her husband came into town from South Carolina for the Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics game. My three siblings who live in the area, along with their kids, me, and my kids, all gathered for dinner and fun.
We ate and laughed late into the night. My sister went to BlockBuster to rent a movie. I tried to explain to her that new releases were available via her cable service. U-verse is not in her area, so she was amazed that she could order a video without leaving home using her current provider.
I take technology for granted because I am exposed to it every day. My sister, on the other hand, works for a bank and technology changes at a slower pace. Our conversation made me think about whether we (AT&T) expose our customers to the technology at a level they can understand, using the media they prefer? That could be face-to-face, online TV, online Web, customer service, etc.
Something as simple as video-on-demand may be a reason a customer leaves one provider to join another, because they are unaware of what their current provider offers.

1Read to Me!
I have a new favorite thing I am so excited about. I’m trying out the new Nokia E71x and let me tell you, so far I’m loving it!!! I’m still getting familiar with it, but I have found my favorite thing about it so far. It’s a feature called Message Reader. It will read your text messages to you!!! I remember testing out a technology like this years ago and have always wanted to see this come back around.
Well, here it is and of course it’s really simple. You receive a text message and can either press the key to read it or press and hold the key to have the device begin reading it to you. It will let you know who the text is from and then read the body. If you want to reply, you can reply via written text or you can reply with audio and it will send the audio file. It is amazing to hear the text being read or have someone hear your voice when sending the audio file.
Love this feature!!!

29Bunko and My Curve!
Bunko night was almost a total loss. I wouldn’t have been able to stand it as this is the only night I can get away from it all – work, kids, and the husband. When you look forward to something the way I look forward to this night, getting lost is not acceptable. Fortunately, my friend had a BlackBerry Curve and saved the day. She whipped it out, accessed its GPS, and we were on our way.
Bunko alas!

I was recently asked by Beth at TechMamas what I think are the best phones for moms. Please visit her site for the full list with details on the features and reasons for why I chose them.
For those who just want the list, here are my picks, in no particular order:
iPhone 3G (my personal device)
BlackBerry Bold (my current work-provided device)
BlackBerry Curve (my former work-provided device)
Enjoy,
Brandy

6Moms Love Apps!
With Mother’s Day approaching, I was recently asked about mom-related applications, which inspired me to do some research. I can’t believe the amount of apps that are out there related to kids and parenting. There were apps for expecting moms as well as new moms, including Expecting, Baby Names, Baby Tracker for Nursing, and Baby Log. For parents, there were also apps such as Flashmath, Scribble (which my son Johnny really likes), Grocery IQ, Grocery Gadget Shopping List, Preschool Adventure, and Allowance Calculator.
This whole app thing has really taken off and allows you to have a customized app that fits your life. I now have some work ahead of me because there are many apps like Grocery IQ, Grocery Gadget Shopping List and Allowance Calculator that I really want to try out. I’ll keep you posted on my experiences, but feel free to share what apps you’re using! I want to hear from you. I’ll be on the road next week, so will have some down time while in airports and hotels to play around on my device.
Remember, you can follow me on Twitter. Happy Mother’s Day!
