Just because I’m an iPhone guy doesn’t mean that I don’t follow what happens over in the Android world. And in the Android world, you got yourself a new Samsung Galaxy S4. And if you’re a Sprint customer who’s been wondering, “Yeah, that’s nice; when do I get my hands on the durn thing”, the [...]
FCC Cellular Signal Boosters Certification Specifications Adopted Today
I’ve made no secret of the fact that if it weren’t for the Wilson Electronics AG Pro 75 Celluar Signal Booster, mobile phone service at my house would be pitiful; we would have likely had to incur the (possibly substantial) expense of putting in a landline. I live outside a rural community and in the middle [...]
In Defense of Landlines
This week had a rough start here in New Jersey. Something like 80% of the state lost power, and we were no exception in our household. While we don’t have a landline, we do have cell phones, and were extremely grateful to never lose signal, even as cable and then electricity dropped. Our neighbor across [...]

[...]
Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE Event
I had the pleasure tonight of attending Sprint’s EVO 4G launch, their newest flagship phone. It runs Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) with a huge 4.7in screen and all the usual bells and whistles we have come to expect from a high-end Android phone (1.5ghz Qualcomm processor, 1GB of RAM, NFC, a 2000mAh battery!) But [...]
HTC’s New EVO 4G LTE Is the Latest EVO Successor
If you’ve held off upgrading your Sprint EVO through all of the other EVO models that have come out over the last few years, then today is the day when you can pat yourself on the back and be proud that you waited; HTC has just announced their HTC EVO 4G LTE, and it looks to [...]
The Wilson Electronics AG Pro 75 Was Worth the Upgrade
It’s no secret that if you live or work in an area that isn’t in the middle of a strong cellular coverage zone, your mobile phone signal is going to suffer. That’s one of the things I knew I would have to deal with when I moved to the ranch, but I wasn’t about to let [...]
HTC EVO Design 4G for Sprint Review
As smartphones continue their march into the mainstream the challenge of choosing the right phone for you grows ever-more challenging. This challenge is compounded by the fact that so many of HTC’s phones seems to be a slight variation on the same theme over and over and over again. (The same holds true for Samsung’s [...]

If you have been wondering when the next member of the EVO family would make itself known, the wait is over, as the fifth member of the HTC EVO family — the EVO Design 4G — is about to be available from Sprint. The HTC EVO Design 4G builds on the wildly popular EVO line, but [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
Sprint SERO Plans Adding Support for Newer Phones
Before the advent of “Simply Everything” there was an even cheaper way to get Sprint service. All you needed was the email address of a Sprint employee, and you’d qualify for a special plan called “Sprint Employee Referral Offer” or SERO. Basically it was deeply discounted service, and the people lucky enough to sign up [...]
