Recently, Samsung sent us their newest Sprint phone, the Conquer 4G. This phone is meant to be the first “budget” 4G phone, coming in at $99 after contract. But is it worth even that? The Conquer 4G is a classic candy bar style smartphone. Black with silver trim around the sides, it resembles the iPhone […]

Techcitement Review: Samsung Nexus S 4G
The Samsung Nexus S 4G is not a new phone, I’ll cop to that. However, in light of the recent recent OS update coupled with today’s big news, I thought I’d give it a whirl. Right out of the box, the Nexus impressed. It’s packaged nicely and looks well made. While the housing is plastic […]
Techcitement Review: Samsung Droid Charge
The Samsung Droid Charge is the hottest phone in Verizon’s current lineup. Or at least, it had better be, with a $300 price tag even with a contract. Even though I was anticipating a chance to play with this phone, which has a tremendous 4.3” display on a black slab and silver border, the build […]
Seriously? Didn’t HP Figure Out Their Touchpad Cost Too Much Already?
HP’s Touchpad hasn’t exactly gotten off to a great start. Reviews have been less than enthusiastic, with comparisons widely made to the iPad of last year, rather than this year’s iPad2. The hardware is too bulky, the software too buggy before this week’s update, and the lack of apps just appalling. Last week’s $100 price […]
Voice of Objectivity: Who Needs 4G Compatibility?
LTE is the form of 4G that looks like the wave of the future for most of the world. At first, it appeared that the U.S. was doomed to repeat the mess of the 3G era, with LTE and WiMAX standing in for GSM and CDMA. That fiasco seems to have been averted, with Verizon […]
A Very WebOS Wednesday
HP has sure as heck had a busy week. The Touchpad, not even two weeks old, has been taking a bit of a hit from reviewers for essentially not being a good enough response to the iPad2 (which makes sense, as it was a response to the original iPad). On Monday, the senior VP of […]
Coming Soon: The LG Thrill 4G
The other night at Pepcom’s Digital Experience, Techcitement got a real treat – some hands-on time with the upcoming LG Thrill 4G. Embracing the current 3D trend, the Thrill has dual 5MP cameras for 3D shots and glasses free 3D that Does Not Suck. The 720p HD playback we saw was gorgeous, and I just […]
HTC’s Magic Pen May Not Be Magic, But It Sure Is Fun
While few things about HTC EVO View 4G tablet seemed revolutionary during my first look at it, the View 4G (and it’s WiFi-only equivalent, the Flyer) did have one accessory that caught my interest, the HTC Magic Pen. Last night’s gdgt event here in New York gave me a chance to give this neat little […]
Sprint Strikes Deal to Deploy 4G LTE Network, with a Twist
Although Sprint brought us the first 4G network on a national carrier, AT&T and Verizon’s choice to go with LTE as their 4G technology has made critics skeptical of Sprint’s early investment in WiMax. In rather unexpected news, a wireless data provider known as LightSquared has just struck a reported $20 billion deal with Sprint […]
