Virgin Mobile, the pay-as-you-go arm of Sprint Wireless, is known for having budget wireless plans. The trade-off of those plans is that you pay more up front. Case in point, the Samsung Galaxy S II. This is only the second 4G enabled handset to launch on Virgin, and at $370, it’s also the second most […]

Review: Samsung Galaxy Reverb Envokes S III But Echos The S II
Samsung just loves the Galaxy line. With each generation of Galaxy S flagships, Apple’s main rival has spun off countless side devices. When the Galaxy II was the flagship, there were a bevy of original Galaxy S-based devices. Now that the S III is king, I keep hoping that we’ll see S II generation technology […]
Virgin And Boost Dole Out Ice Cream Sandwich
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 […]

Samsung’s Galaxy S II Skyrocket Makes Me Eat My Words
Back in October, I reviewed the AT&T edition of the Samsung Galaxy S II. Overall, I loved the hardware, but was not happy with the data connectivity. While HSPA+ speeds were reached in my New Jersey home, a place where Sprint barely gets a connection at times, I see the exact opposite impact when I […]
Amazon’s Penny Pincher Sale Adds Some Pennies
When I wrote about Amazon’s amazing “every single phone for a penny” sale last week, I was very excited. Even the latest and greatest phones — that didn’t start with an “i” — were a penny. That’s when I did something stupid. I waited. I took care of other things and figured I would get […]
Techcitement Review: The Samsung Galaxy S II, AT&T Edition
It’s hard to imagine a better time for smartphone buyers. With last week’s announcements of the new RAZR and Galaxy Nexus as well as Apple’s iPhone 4S burning up sales records, you can pretty much be sure of a powerful, robust phone on any network. Except, what if you don’t want to wait for the […]
