Been eagerly awaiting the HTC One X or the EVO 4G LTE? You may need to wait a bit longer, because The Verge first broke the news that U.S. Customs weren’t allowing shipments of the two HTC flagship devices enter the US. The reason? A patent suit from Apple, alleging that HTC infringed on their […]
Thanks to the Occupy protests, we’re reminded more than ever of the epidemic of corporate greed, of companies more focused on their current stock prices than on offering quality goods or services, of the trend to outsource jobs while making excuses of being unable to find qualified workers in the U.S.A. Clearly, these stereotypes don’t […]
Verizon has the largest LTE network in the United States. There’s no question about that as Verizon is about to cover two-thirds of the U.S. population with expansion to 230 markets, significantly more than AT&T’s small but fast LTE network and orders of magnitude beyond Sprint’s nascent new 4G. However, Verizon wants to expand further […]
Verizon, you’re already the most expensive carrier with the most ridiculous fees, and yet you still find ways to make even more money. A $30 fee just to upgrade your phone? To be fair, AT&T, Sprint , and T-Mobile have already implemented such fees, but up until now, Verizon had remained mum on the issue. […]
According to a statement by AT&T, the company’s customers that use Apple iPhones can now request a phone be unlocked (allowing use with other carriers), under a new policy that went into effect on April 8. AT&T requires that a customer complete a two-year contract, upgrade under one of their upgrade policies, or pay the […]
Back in October, I reviewed the AT&T edition of the Samsung Galaxy S II. Overall, I loved the hardware, but was not happy with the data connectivity. While HSPA+ speeds were reached in my New Jersey home, a place where Sprint barely gets a connection at times, I see the exact opposite impact when I […]
The Spectrum Wars continue, folks. Remember how AT&T wanted to purchase T-Mobile? That was about more than market dominance. It was about spectrum. For those not in the know, there’s a limited amount of wireless frequency available for use. The FCC licenses out publicly available spectrum, but there have been warning signs of an […]
It looks like Fox News reporter Shepard Smith has discovered what most cell phone power users have known for some time now. Namely, that just because your cell plan says it’s unlimited doesn’t mean it actually is. The TV personality’s home WiFi is down, so AT&T went and throttled his data connection. Check out the […]
If you’ve noticed that modern smartphones are beginning to look strikingly similar, this new budget handset from Samsung will be a breath of fresh air. The Samsung Double Time is an AT&T branded device that earns its namesake from the use of dual displays. That is, instead of having the keyboard slide out like other […]
In a stunning display of bowing to what just about everyone else wants, AT&T has announced they won’t merge with T-Mobile USA. This isn’t too much of a shock after the FCC tutted at them last month. Don’t cry for T-Mobile though. Thanks to a clever agreement, they’re walking away from the table with four […]
