I was recently impressed by LG’s Optimus G handset and was equally looking forward to the LG Mach. Currently one of the only two 4G phones on Sprint with a keyboard, the Mach has the potential to make a real dent in the physical input-only market. But do expectations match up with reality? First Impressions The LG Mach […]

New HTC Flagship Has Something For Every One
HTC’s One line first debuted last February at Mobile World Congress. While there were some spec bumps in the form of the One V+ and VX in 2012 and variants in the form of the EVO 4G LTE and the Droid DNA, HTC has managed to wait the year out before introducing the follow up to the […]
On The Cheap: Cyber Monday Is Over, But Smartphone Savings Are Not
Yesterday was a fun day to be the writer of a column about cheap tech. I was so busy answering texts, Facebook messages, and tweets about what the best deals were that I wasn’t able to share them all here. Now that the dust has settled, I thought we could take a minute and see […]
Review: Motorola Brings QWERTY Expertise To Sprint With Photon Q
Motorola has long been one of the strongest Android phone makers. While Samsung may get higher numbers and HTC a bit more of the mind share, Motorola’s original Droid for Verizon is arguably the phone that made Android take off as more than just “not iPhone.” The line is so successful that many users dub […]
Has Ting Spoiled Sprint’s Windows Phone Plans?
While AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon are all going gaga for Windows Phone 8, the fourth major U.S. carrier has been staying out of it. I’m not sure I blame Sprint for doing so. The somewhat struggling carrier was badly burned by investing in the initial launch of webOS and the solitary Windows Phone 7 phone […]

A few years ago,the online retailing giant had every single smartphone for a penny, including then-$199 top of the line devices. Amazon has gone live with a “4G phones for […]
On The Cheap: The Art (And Business) Of The Subjective Discount
When looking to save money on gadgets, there’s one place many people may not think to look: the human resources department. In many cases, being employed by a certain company entitles you to a discount with various vendors. Cell phone companies in particular tend to shave a decent percentage off if you have the right […]
Review: Does Kyocera’s Rise Get The Worm?
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 […]
Review: Test Driving Sprint’s LTE Network
One of the big perks about my new hometown, Houston, is that it’s one of the select few cities where Sprint’s high speed LTE network has been rolled out. This replaces the original high-speed WiMax network, largely spanked by AT&T and Verizon’s LTE networks. Heck, in some cases T-Mobile’s HSPA+ has beaten Sprint’s WiMax, and […]
