Let’s be blunt, Kyocera doesn’t have the best reputation as a cellphone maker. Known for making budget phones that feel cheap in the hand, with dated operating systems and limited features, Kyocera is hardly any Techcitement writer’s “go to” company. In fact, we generally consider those phones to be barely a step up from feature […]
It feels like it was only last week that the Techcitement writing staff was complaining amongst themselves about the slow adoption of Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). Despite the fact that 4.1 (Jelly Bean) is already out, you can count the ICS devices out there on your hands. Boost Mobile and Virgin, one of the […]
The biggest plus of a service like Virgin Mobile is that you can save a lot of money using no-contract phone service, as long as you pay up-front for a phone. The biggest minus, however, is that the available phones were not much to write home about. Sure, the HTC Wildfire and Motorola Triumph are […]
I confess a weak spot for Samsung’s Galaxy line, and I’m clearly not the only one as Galaxy phones managed to take the number one spot for smartphone market share in the first quarter of 2012. That’s a pretty impressive feat considering we live in a world where most people react to seeing a new […]
The Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G (clearly another victim of the Android Phone Name Generator) is billed as a mid-range alternative to the Galaxy S II. Normally, I’m not a huge fan of mid-range phones, because they tend to be sad, underpowered compromises that trade performance in favor of a cheaper handset price. That’s why […]
Sprint first introduced its EVO line in 2010 with the classic EVO 4G. This 4.3″, WiMax-connected behemoth did a great job as the company’s flagship phone, spinning off the EVO Design, Shift, and 3D, all fine phones in their own way. None, however, seemed to get as much attention as that first model. We at […]
One of last year’s most unique Android devices was the Motorola Atrix 4G. A top-notch phone in its own right, the Atrix stood out by having a truly unique accessory, the Lapdock. The concept was simple, but elegant. Using a couple of standard connections (micro-USB and micro-HDMI), the phone slotted into a docking port in […]
With Sprint transitioning to a4G network based on LTE instead of WiMax, I was wondering what the company would do with the old fiber — other than support existing handsets, that is. It looks like Spring will use that infrastructure to prop up their no-contract networks. While competing network MetroPCS does offer a (pricey and […]
While Techcitement has given a glowing, if quick, review to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, one feature we only touched on is the operating system. Because I’ve been shopping around for a new operating system ever since HP decided to ditch the phone business, this is a good time to put Android 4.0 a.k.a. Ice Cream […]

As much as I love my HP TouchPad, I’m not a huge fan of touch-typing on the screen. While I honestly think webOS has the best onscreen keyboard of any tablet I’ve used, there’s still something to be said for the feel of real keys under one’s fingers. Recently I’ve been using a basic tablet […]
