  • So far, Apple has been having a hell of a time in the courthouse, and I might say, this is a good thing for them. However, this is bad for HTC, clearly. The ITC has ruled that 2 of the 10 patents Apple accused HTC of infringing on in Apple’s favor; in other words, HTC was found guilty. If everything plays well for Apple, we can expect particular devices manufactured by the Taiwanese company to be banned from reaching US shores. Good for Apple favoritism, bad for those who love HTC. HTC general counsel Grace Lei responded back quickly with the following statement: “HTC will vigorously fight these two remaining patents through an appeal...

  • Call me surprised. Actually don’t, you’d be a fool. A survey by ChangeWave Research has revealed that AT&T drops the most calls of any mobile network, at 4.6 calls per 100 (4.6%). Verizon unsurprisingly takes the lead in this survey with only 1.4 dropped calls per 100 (1.4%). T-Mobile is second at 2.3% and Sprint is third at 2.7%. AT&T reached out and said that a survey by GWS not so very long ago revealed a 98.6% success rate, or exactly the same as Verizon’s. Hopefully, AT&T’s upcoming LTE and current HSPA+ network’s will help that number drop more. Best of luck to you, because you will need it. ~ Jake Root Yes,...

  • Yes, I have been covering this story extensively in the past week, and it looks like the 3D phone will in fact be announced on February 7th, 2011 for Sprint, just a week before the international announcement of the LG Optimus 3D. According to Phone Arena, a tipster has squealed to them that a phone with a 3D screen and specs close to those of the LG Revolution will be revealed by Sprint PCS on the 7th. Their article specifically said: Since the announcement, there has been some rumors of what the device will be, but today we got word from an inside source saying that it will be for...

  • Over the past few years Sprint has Invested millions and millions of dollars into clearwire. The two companies share their WiMAX and understandably so Sprint is worried about other company’s like Verizon jumping onto the 4G train with them. So, this week according to a Goldman Sachs analyst that met with sprint executives this past week were quoted sayingthat they “have encouraged” a wholesale spectrum deal that would bring cash in from T-Mobile USA. Keep in mind T-Mobile is really undecided on where their company 4G will mostly come from. They are still working on a plan to move farther than just HSPA+. But money is the ultimate factor in this decision. Sprint’s clearwire investments are not giving...

  • The Galaxy TAB. The first ever Android Tablet with the resources- and the market base- to take on the iPad. But the question is, what network has the best variant for you? Lets take a look: 1. T-Mobile Released yesterday, November 10th 2010, this is the most cost-effective version of the TAB. For the lowest price, $399.99 on a two year contract and with a $24.99/mo data charge for 200mb. That also comes with a mobile hotspot and unlimited texting. Seems really nice of them, huh? Currently, T-Mobile is the only provider that has texting unlimited and free of charge with their data packages. We have no word on if...

  • Sprint and Clear Wire have said that LTE is not needed when WiMax is in play over and over again. Sprint CEO Dan Hesse said “Our 4G strategy is WiMAX, full stop!” this was in reply to questions about Sprints testing of LTE on their network. However he did make a slight reference to the possible future of cellular data transmission: “We have so much spectrum that we decided to do tests so in case we have multi-modal phones with other air interfaces, we can add LTE on top of WiMAX and run both networks,”. This would seem to indicate that we could see not just dual-band phones in the...

  • It has been more than a little while since we have heard anything about the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Well now we are getting (rumors) reports that the Verizon version will both not have Bung and will be able to make calls — making calls would be a carrier decision that Verizon said they would not support and now in this leaked manual says they are supporting. More on this later. Lets get to some rumored launch dates shall we? We have known the UK launch date for the Samsung Tab for sometime now, but what we have not known is when the US version of the 7 inch Android Tablet...
