This afternoon I attended a standing room only event in the impossibly small Ballroom A at the Venetian. The purpose was to hear about Nokia’s latest announcement for North America, and what I was hoping for specifically was news that the Lumia 900 (the North American version of the Euro Lumia 800) would soon be [...]

HTC Announces Titan II, AT&T’s Tablet-Sized 4G LTE Windows Phone
Wow, I am glad that I hadn’t already spring for a Titan from AT&T; today saw the announcement of the Titan II, and this model appears to be even more impressive than the first! Today, at the 2012 International CES, HTC introduced the HTC TITAN II as the company’s first Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) device to run [...]
Quick Impressions: Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Speeds
As a small town guy living in the Chicago area, there are a lot times when I get frustrated with the traffic, the density, and the general inconveniences that are necessarily associated with urban living. Then again, there are times like today, when I’m happy to be living in one of the larger metropolitan areas [...]
The HTC Vivid Is One of AT&T’s Latest 4G LTE Android Smartphones
AT&T is bound and determined to tease those of us who don’t live in major markets with their 4G LTE speeds and the phones that can handle them; today HTC has announced the new HTC Vivid. Thanks to the dual core 1.2 GHz processor, browsing the web, listening to music, and downloading apps is a snap [...]
AT&T Lets Us Down Again
Ah, AT&T. So, I’m sitting here staring at my shiny new iPhone 4S. It’s unusable right now, thanks to AT&T’s lack of preparedness. They’ve had several years to figure out how to handle the spike in the load on their servers that accompanies the launch of a new iPhone model. Yet they still manage to [...]
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 [...]
Adventures in Customer Support: AT&T
Guess which Stooge is Doug in this little scenario It all began back in January . . . See, here’s the deal: for the kids’ “big holiday gift,” I got them both iPhone 4s. Alas, now you have to get limited data plans. But these are good kids, and I knew that if I got [...]
The AT&T HTC Status Android Mobile Phone Review
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 [...]
Zippier HP TouchPad Launching on AT&T Mobile Network
I checked out the HP TouchPad the day it was released and… didn’t walk out with one. I’m impressed with WebOS but I found the tablet a bit too laggy for my taste. Well the speed issue is about to be resolved with the new version of the HP TouchPad 4G that is coming to [...]
Your AT&T iPhone Data Usage Is Unusually High? Maybe This Is Why
Image courtesy of Productivity 501 We all have iPhones in our house. For the kids and Sami, I got the lowest data plans, because they’re all on the wifi all the time. But weirdly, every month, Maggie’s phone was approaching and going over the limit. At first, after talking with the AT&T support folks, it [...]
One Month Later, Verizon Owns 12% of the iPhone Market
Last month I wrote about a new tracker that shows the comparative data used by the iPhone on Verizon and AT&T and uses that as a comparison for the number of active phones. The initial data set was likely skewed by the ‘new user effect’ of folks over-using their data plan as they signed up [...]
Tethering Data with Your Phone; How Much Is It Worth to You?
To tether or not to tether, what to do? There has been a long-standing debate and rather good argument over whether tethering your phone is legal, ethical, or financially worth it. Most platforms today have programs available that allow you to tether a wired or wireless device to you phone without buying another data plan. [...]
AT&T Trying Last Ditch Effort To Hold Onto iPhone Users with Top 10 List
It seems the iPhone on Verizon is a virtual certainly at this point. I couldn’t help but chuckle when I got the mail today and pulled this AT&T circular from the box because it seems AT&T knows it too. AT&T sends promotional information often, I still think it’s funny that they do so even though [...]
Motorola ES400 Enterprise Digital Assistant First Look
The regular onslaught of weekly smartphone announcements highlighting the latest offerings running Android or the upcoming Windows Phone 7 OS, it’s very easy for Motorola’s ES400 to get lost in the mix. The device doesn’t immediately scream ‘sexy’ and it’s running Windows Mobile 6.5. Yes, I said 6.5! So why on earth should you even [...]
