This has been an impressive year for smartphones. Indeed, with units like the RAZR MAXX, Galaxy Nexus, and HTC’s One line, I think we’re seeing a real transition to superphones. Then there’s the LG Viper, a far more mild-mannered option. Despite being the first LTE phone released on Sprint (by a whole day), the Viper […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Verizon has finally put the nail in the coffin. Customers upgrading to LTE smartphones with grandfathered unlimited data will be forced to switch to a new tiered data plan after Verizon begins offering its shared tiered data plans this summer. Even though this isn’t exactly a surprising move by any means, this leaves Sprint as […]
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 […]
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 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 […]
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. […]
