One of my students excitedly hurried into my classroom the other day, exclaiming that I had to see her new phone. Kids show me their new gadgets everyday, but this was obviously something special since the other students were just as excited. When she presented it to me she just exclaimed, “3D!” In her hand [...]

HTC Rhyme Introduced with a Family of Integrated Accessories and Sleek Good Looks
I can’t even find it in myself to be annoyed that HTC has introduced a phone that is so obviously aimed at women; if they had just colored it plum and called it good, I would have been livid. But no. The HTC Rhyme is a phone that I would have considered carrying anyway … and the bonus is [...]
US Cellular Begins Updating HTC Merge to Gingerbread (Android 2.3) Today
I love hearing about devices that follow through with updates to the next version of an operating system, because — let’s face it — there have been many over the years that didn’t. US Cellular users with an HTC Merge, now it is your turn. Today the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) update is available, and this is how [...]
The Samsung Galaxy S II Brings Some Heavy Hardware Specs and Much Needed Features to US Shores
So the day has finally come where the official announcement has been made for the Samsung Galaxy S II to hit US soil. The press conference is under way right now (Dan is there as I type), and just as we thought details are slim. A 4.5″ SAMOLED+ screen is destined for AT&T, T-Mobile, and [...]
Mobile 4G & LTE, Just a Faster Way to Hit Your Data Cap?
Image courtesy of Droid-Life What drives me nuts about mobile carriers these days is that I truly believe they are using new technology against us. Maybe you think I’m out of my mind, but it’s really easy to see the common trend happening with 3 of the 4 big carriers in the US. As [...]
Pantech Vega Tablet Phone and Vega Racer Smartphone Will Feature DTS High-Performance Technology
One of the places that mobile devices so often fall flat is in the delivery of great sounding audio, which is why these new Pantech and DTS collaborations caught my eye. The new Pantech Vega No. 5 Tablet Phone and the Pantech Vega Racer Smartphone will “incorporate DTS technology, bringing a more immersive and dramatic sound [...]
HTC and Beats Electronics Announce $300M Partnership to Bring Beats by Dre Audio Experience to Mobile Devices
So much time is wasted in idle speculation! Today I, along with a gaggle of other bloggers, was sent an invitation to an HTC press teleconference that would happen tomorrow. Along with the call-in information, the invite said: TAOYUAN, Taiwan, and LOS ANGELES— August 10, 2011 — HTC CEO Peter Chou will hold a live [...]
Android Mobile Phone Review: The AT&T HTC Status
If you are a Facebook junkie who can’t go for even five minutes without checking in, then I may have found the perfect phone for you. HTC recently brought one their two Facebook-integrated phones to the US; somewhere along the way, the device formerly known as the ChaCha became the Status. You may remember that the ChaCha was the candy-bar [...]
First Impressions: U.S. Cellular HTC 7 Pro Windows Phone 7 Smartphone
I am very fortunate to have landed a review HTC 7 Pro unit from U.S. Cellular. A month or so ago I wrote about the 7 Pro launching as the first Windows Phone 7 device on U. S. Cellular. I will be doing a full review in the coming weeks, but wanted to give [...]
Amazon Slashes Prices on Android Handsets and Adds Additional Incentives
It always pays to shop around, even when buying a carrier-branded phone. Did you know that the same phones you can buy at the Verizon store are available on Amazon — some at greatly reduced savings from the carrier sites? No kidding — on the Verizon site, the HTC Thunderbolt (a phone I truly [...]
LG G2X Screen Bleeding Issues Continue; No More Returns Accepted at T-Mobile
(If you aren’t familiar with the ongoing issues Francis has had with his G2X, be sure to see his initial explanation here: Original G2X Screen Bleed Article) Last week I wrote up a quick post about sending in my G2X to T-Mobile due to excessive screen bleeding issues. After receiving a new phone, returning a [...]
Android Phone Review: T-Mobile HTC Sensation
It is increasingly difficult to review phones running the Android operating system these days. After all, there seems to be a new Android handset every other day and, more and more, the difference between one and another of them can be rather small. This is an even bigger challenge when you look at the field [...]
My Heart Bleeds as Much as the Screen on My LG G2X; Warranty Phone #1 Is on the Way
LG recently brought all their IPS goodness to Android with the Introduction of the T-Mobile G2X. Before getting this phone I was happily running a HD2 that still holds a spot on my shelf as my number one backup phone. With more dual core superphones launching by the minute, LG really had not dropped a [...]
The Vertu Constellation Quest Review
Last October we posted about the then upcoming Vertu Constellation Quest, their first QWERTY keyboard phone, a phone which compared to all of their previous models was a veritable smartphone. Half-jokingly (or perhaps presciently), Larry stated that it might be my next phone, and when we were in Vegas for CES this January, I stopped [...]
