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 […]
While desperately searching for the snooze button on my HTC Droid Incredible this morning, I found the most welcome and unexpected sight: a popup notification that Android’s 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) upgrade was ready to be pushed to my phone. After the upgrade was completed (and my impromptu early morning happy dance), I tried the new version […]
As users of any 4G phone are well aware, battery life is a huge concern with any modern mobile device. Many people spend their days with one eye out for a power source to plug into for a few minutes. What can we do to stay connected when that wall outlet is nowhere to be […]
Last night, Samsung announced the long awaited U.S. launch of their Galaxy S II smartphones, which are available from AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile. There may also be versions coming to smaller regional carriers, but the event focused on the major networks. The European version of the line has been available for months, so there were […]

As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a WebOS user. For those who weren’t following the news this weekend, that means I don’t have an upgrade option. I may some day, but for right now my options are finding a used phone and one of three variations on a theme: the Palm Pixi/Pixi Plus, the Pre/Pre Plus/Pre2, […]
Android’s great advantage over its main competitor, iOS, is the way it lets you customize your device to fit your needs. Skins, launchers, custom ROMs, there are tons of ways to do it, but one of the most useful is finding a keyboard that works for you.
Why in the world am I reviewing a product that has been discontinued, you ask? Partly because you can likely expect lots of close out deals on the TouchPad now. I still feel strongly that WebOS is a great operating system and hope HP finds a role for it, What about the hardware though? That’s […]
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 […]
