Techcitement knows that holiday gift buying can be a stressful thing for many people, so we’re going to help out this year by providing buying guides for a range of tech items. The holidays are a time when many are looking for an upgrade on their contracts to get a brand spanking new smartphone. Whether […]
Switching phone operating systems is a huge deal. Odds are you’re already vested in an existing ecosystem. When I switched to webOS, I had to give up all the apps I’d purchased for Windows Mobile and PalmOS. Now that I’m switching again, I have that same sting. It’s one of the things that keeps people […]
See the original story here. After mysteriously disappearing from Sprint’s official lineup this week, there has been much speculation surrounding the LG Marquee. No official response from Sprint, however, the device has returned to Sprint.com as of today. It is currently listed as “out of stock”, and e-chat representatives have told customers there is a supply […]
UPDATE TO THIS ARTICLE HERE. The LG Marquee, a new budget smartphone from Sprint (and one that we recently wrote about), has suddenly gone missing from their website without warning this week. This happens barely two months after being launched. Third party stores like Radio Shack and Best Buy still offer the device, and there […]
According to V.P. of Marketing Tim Deluca-Smith at wireless service firm WDS, “Android is a bit of the Wild West” when it comes to handset reliability.

Some providers have experimented with such solutions before (T-Mobile and AT&T come […]
NetMarketShare, an internet statistics firm, announces each month the breakdown of mobile web traffic between OSes. October’s results are definitely different from what a seasoned Android fanboy would expect. Given Android’s stratospheric rise in the past two years, I’d expect the percentage to be a bit higher than the 18.9 percent it’s currently sitting it. […]
Remember that transition in 2001: A Space Odyssey where the monkey throws a bone into the air, and it turns into a spaceship? That’s what I just did by upgrading my Razr phone to an iPhone 4S. I’d had my Razr phone for seven years and it was nothing but good to me. Sturdy construction, […]
Google’s long-awaited new flagship device, the Galaxy Nexus was officially announced last night. It’s a powerhouse of a phone, sporting a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, a 720p HD Super AMOLED display, and a camera that can record video in 1080p, just for starters. There are LTE and HSPA+ versions of the device, which means we […]
We’re fairly fond of Samsung here at Techcitement. They make good products, are kind enough to send us review units, and invite us to events. However, what kind of blog would we be if we did not point out when companies we like do something stupid? No, we’re not talking about Ch@tOn, Samsung’s addition to […]
