I was extremely excited to see the AT&T Samsung Captivate Glide when I first got it out of the box. The phone looks expensive even though it’s made of plastic, feels solid (I really hate phones that feel disposable), and most importantly for me, has a slide-out keyboard. With 4G capability and features like an […]

For those following the drama with AT&T’s desired merger/acquisition of T-Mobile, get ready for a new twist. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski recommends to the other four FCC commissioners that the agency refer the case to an administrative law judge. This is fancy speak for “wants this deal killed” — and when the head of the […]
As Black Friday and Cyber Monday approach, our thoughts (along with the thoughts of most of the U.S.) turn to finding great deals. This is often the best time to upgrade or add a line. This year, Amazon Wireless makes an offer that’s very, very hard to refuse. Amazon’s Wireless store always has the occasional […]
The Samsung Focus Flash is the low-end sequel to Samsung’s original Windows Phone 7, the Focus. Running Windows Mobile 7.5 a.k.a. Mango. and available on AT&T’s 4G network, the Focus Flash can already be found for a penny on Amazon (their version of a free phone). I’m only going to touch upon the software here, […]
Remember when Windows Phone 7 was first announced and AT&T was one of the first carriers on board? We all know their iPhone exclusivity was going to end soon, but I found it almost comical how much AT&T wanted to advertise Microsoft’s rival OS so soon. Not that I blame them, Windows Phone is so surprisingly well […]

Next Tuesday, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority unveils their long-awaited platform cell service. Don’t […]
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 […]
The United States government has just announced that they’re suing to block the acquisition of T-Mobile USA by AT&T. Considering that what was originally AT&T was br0ken up due to anti-trust concerns, it’s not too surprising. Even if the U.S. government succeeds in nipping this merger in the bud, T-Mobile’s parent company Deutch Telecom still […]
Now that Sprint is scheduled to get the iPhone in a couple of months, I can’t help but take a step back and wonder what this will mean for the third largest national carrier. No one can deny just how popular the iPhone is. It brought the wonder and power of Smartphones to the masses. But not […]
