Review: Samsung Galaxy S II Makes Return Engagement On Virgin

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 […]

Good news, everyone. You can stop being so envious of European techies. While they’ve been lucky enough to have Samsung’s new flagship for a month now, we in the U.S. can get our hands on it this month. Samsung announced that the device will come out shortly for multiple U.S. carriers. T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon […]

On The Cheap: Sprint 4G Phones For A Penny; Yes, There’s a Catch

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:25:16 +0000

Raise your hand if you’ve ever bought a phone only to find a cheaper one on sale right after the return period lapses. Anyone? Yes? Yeah, me too. Like just now. After recently purchasing an iPhone 4 on Sprint, I see Amazon is offering any Sprint 4G phone for a penny. On top of that, […]

Samsung’s Galaxy S II Skyrocket Makes Me Eat My Words

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 17:54:54 +0000

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

Mordechai Osdoby — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 15:07:38 +0000

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 […]
