Part of being techcited is not wanting to wait too long for the latest tech. As such, we were really down when the Evo 4G LTE (and HTC One X) were held at the border. The delayed smartphones began trickling in last week for eager beavers who had pre-ordered, but it’s only today that we’ve […]

Techcitement Guide: Graduate Your Graduates’ Smartphones
Graduation is an exciting time for any student, and that goes for anyone graduating from high school, college, or even graduate school this year. New graduates need to have the edge wherever their next step will be, whether it’s in the business world or further into academia. An important component of this edge is a […]
Verizon Says You Can Keep Unlimited Data By Paying Full Retail Price
That’s right. Verizon will let you keep your unlimited data, but only if you purchase phones for their full retail prices. As Techcitement discussed earlier, Verizon plans to force its customers to change to a new tiered data plan when upgrading after new shared data plans become available mid-summer this year. Verizon won’t automatically move […]
U.S. Customs Halt HTC One X And EVO 4G LTE At The Border
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 […]
Virgin Mobile Goes 4G, And Another EVO Is Born
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 […]
On The Cheap Alert: LG Viper Free On Amazon
The phone that I dubbed Sprint’s second LTE device turned out to actually be the first. LG Viper beat the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus by a few days. Now comes another first — the first free LTE phone on Sprint. Amazon Wireless is offering this handset for free with a new contract and for only […]
Verizon Offers FCC A Deal As The Spectrum Wars Continue
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 […]
More Fees, Verizon? Again?
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. […]
The HTC EVO 4G LTE: Dull Name, Sexy Phone
At yesterday’s HTC/Sprint event, I wasn’t too surprised to hear Sprint lavish the EVO line with praise. As they pointed out, Sprint introduced the EVO 4G two years ago and the 3D last year. Now, the company is giving us the third generation of the EVO franchise, and while at first glance it just seemed like a […]
Sprint Announces Second LTE Device, Minus Release Date
Some of us are still waiting for Sprint’s “any day now” Galaxy Nexus. The current Google reference phone is more than a neat bit of hardware — it represents Sprint’s first shift from a high-speed WiMax network to one based on LTE. While Wimax continues to work for those who picked up earlier 4G Sprint […]
