Thanksgiving is a time meant to be spent with family, but often the host of the celebration gets caught in the kitchen preparing the dinner. He/she has to juggle cooking the turkey, side dishes and dessert, all while trying to entertain guests. To help make the holiday more rewarding and enjoyable, U.S. Cellular suggests using a variety of smartphone applications that can assist in planning, preparing and executing everything for the Thanksgiving feast.
You can easily view these apps hands-free on the Motorola ELECTRIFY with its 4.3 inch screen and unique kick stand, ensuring that you’ll have all the latest culinary tips and tricks readily available for easy viewing, right on the kitchen countertop. Right now the ELECTRIFY is $99.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and all of U.S. Cellular’s smartphones are $99.99 or less, including several for free.
