October 28th, 2011 · No Comments · Android, iPhone, mobile phones, Reviews, Samsung, smartphones, Technology

Alas, my time as an Android owner has ended. I want to get this post out while my brain is still fresh with Android usage and learning the ways of the iPhone. Well…there’s not much to learn…in true Apple fashion everything is pretty damn simple. Here’s what I see. Email Setup – Holy crap that [...]

Root Down – Pondering If I Root My Samsung Moment

March 23rd, 2011 · 3 Comments · Android, Rant, Samsung, smartphones, Wireless

The following is an email I sent to some friends tonight. Needless to say, I’m still fairly frustrated to still have close to a year left on my contract while my phone (Samsung Moment) has already been discontinued (about a year after being introduced) and no longer supported. WTF? ====begin email=== So are we gonna [...]

Android – It’s Good In Theory

February 28th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Android, Business, iPhone, mobile phones, Samsung, smartphones, Technology, Wireless

I like the thought of having competition for the iPhone and other mobile OSes out there…we have to keep innovation up and keep from having a monopoly. The Android OS itself isn’t bad.

Why Sprint, Why? (Rate Increases? Really?)

January 27th, 2011 · No Comments · Android, Business, Business Practices, iPhone, market share, mobile phones, Rant, Rant, Revenue Models, Samsung, smartphones, Wireless

Sprint shall soon be adding $10/month to users of 3G smart phones. They already did that for the 4G phones and I didn’t care that much as I don’t have a 4G phone. In fact it’s one of the reasons I didn’t go out and snag a Samsung Epic. The phone looks cool as hell [...]

Samsung has a great mobile strategy…you’ve got to admit that. While some phone manufacturers are getting all nutty with their carrier exclusivity deals (so freaking’ annoying…come on people!)

Putting Android 2.1 on the Samsung Moment

June 7th, 2010 · No Comments · Android, Business, Business Practices, mobile phones, Samsung, smartphones

So there I was feeling irked that I still had to use Android 1.5 on my Samsung Moment. Sprint had said there would be an update a while ago and then the deadline got pushed. Watching new phones come out with 2.0, 2.1…frustrating I tell you. Plus the WWDC was going on today and everyone [...]

Samsung Moment Update – Part 2

April 2nd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Android, iPhone, Samsung, smartphones, Technology

Updating the Samsung Moment shall be continued here. I’ve noticed a number of people looking for help with this issue. Two topics/issues here…the software update and the OS update. First we’ll discuss the OS (Android) update since it’s quick and easy. There is none yet. However…the good news is that there are several reports that [...]
