The time has come. The free phone you got with your two-year wireless contract has missed its last call. Before going in blindly and simply buying a pricey new phone because Jessica Simpson carries it, try it first online.
TryPhone is an cool new online tool that allows users to test out certain phones for free — all without a sales representative pressuring you to buy a phone you can't afford or figure out how to use. Just visit the site, find the phone you've been coveting, and play around with it using your mouse. You can't go so far as making calls, but you can see how features such as the menu, browser, and address book work and check out what other people are saying about the model.
What's that? You've already splurged on a new phone but have absolutely no idea how to use it? No worries. TryPhone provides free demos to help you learn how to do simple tasks on all of its featured phones.
- Calling all divas. Tina Turner and Cher on both on Oprah today.

Can one person really make a difference?
While that's still up for debate when it comes to presidential primaries or saving animal species, you alone can help lead caffeinated warriors in a struggle for something valuable in its own right: a better Starbucks experience.
Have some changes you'd like to see brewing at Starbucks? Take them over to MyStarbucksIdea.com, an online community run and monitored by Starbucks employees dedicated to sharing and discussing ideas on how to improve your experience. Always thought Starbucks should adopt a punchcard system for frequent buyers? Tell them! Wish you'd get a free brew on your birthday? Let them know! Not only will you be able to share the ideas that matter to you most, but you can also find out if and how Starbucks is putting your ideas to work.
Who's with me on getting a few Starbucks to keep their doors open 24 hours a day?
