Sprint raced out of the 4G gate a while back with it’s WiMAX offering as it partnered with Clearwire. A good move if you’re looking at the joy of having a few “firsts” such as the first 4G phone that Sprint was so proud to talk about. I now have an HTC Evo (that is [...]

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 [...]

In case you haven’t heard, AT&T has announced they will buy T-Mobile from Deutsche Telekom for $39 billion. This deal would make AT&T the largest wireless carrier in the United States. Reaction to the news has been nuts already. Sprint’s stock (ticker symbol: S) is getting hammered in the stock market with a 13% drop [...]

Android phones, such a good idea but the implementation is abysmal. 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. Not as clean and refined as iOS (the OS on the [...]

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!) Samsung is spreading their love all around. Granted, they have their “exclusive” phones but they don’t create just one phone (a la just one iPhone from Apple [...]

CTIA is in full swing right now. Rather than giving you the blow-by-blow of every product announced (there’s more than a few…duh) I think we should look at the overall picture of what’s going on. Below are a few highlights…let us take these in as we ponder what it all means. Palm announcing their phones [...]

Updating the Samsung Moment’s software. Egads…and this is why Apple continues to be successful. They just make things easy to do. I bring this up as I had just finished updating the software for my Android phone. First, some background. I’ve got a Samsung Moment running on Sprint’s network. Love it! Love Sprint’s network, love [...]

By now you’ve probably heard of Google Android even if you aren’t some alpha geek. Have you sat down and thought much about it? It’s just a minor player, isn’t it? How can it compete with the iPhone, with the Symbian-based phones (Nokia) of the world, with Palm (especially with the release of the Palm [...]

I’m sure by now you’ve heard the rumor of T-Mobile looking into gobbling up Sprint. It’s certainly an interesting though…number four in the US buying up number three. However, given the additional info that T-Mobile is also wanting to merge with Orange over there in the UK, things become quite a bit more interesting. That [...]
