Sprint Addresses Carrier IQ With Internal Memo
Carrier IQ is all the rage these days, and rightfully so. Not surprisingly people don't like to feel like their every move is being watched. Last week Sprint was one of the few companies to admit using Carrier IQ, so naturally they've stepped into the harsh light of this ever developing story. SprintFeed got their hands on an internal memo that informs employees... Read more » Republic Wireless LG Optimus One Comes With CyanogenMod?
Well this is interesting. If you haven't heard of Republic Wireless they are a new carrier offering unlimited plans for $19. The catch is you have to highly rely on WiFi networks or Republic Wireless will kick you out for excessive data usage. You are allowed to use mobile data (via Sprint's network) but only in small portions. The first device to grace their... Read more » Breon’s experience with Verizon Wireless 4G LTE
Last Wednesday, shortly after the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE conference call, I was presented with an LG 4G modem and a Windows laptop (more on that later). It was like Christmas came a little early for me. Since Wednesday, I've been using the modem as much as I can. I've also been preforming tons speed tests (via speedtest.net). In the past, I've also had... Read more » Verizon Wireless 4G LTE launches on December 5th

I was recently invited to a Verizon Wireless LTE event. The primary focus of the event is to introduce business partners to the advantages and features of Verizon's forthcoming 4G network. I'll be pseudo live tweeting from the event (a.k.a. updating this post). Keep refreshing this post for more info. Unfortunately, there will be no live demo devices to...

HTC showed off a few weeks ago their newest version of Sense UI and the online service to complement it, HTCSense.com. The website is now live, so those lucky Desire Z and Desire HD owners should head on over and check it out. We still don't have word on whether devices without the latest version of HTC's overlay will eventually be able to take advantage of the...

Last week, we reported on a great tip that showed T-Mobile's plans for Wi-Fi calling on Android devices. Today, the company made it official. According to the press release, quoted below, the feature will be available on a wide selection of Android phones, and specifically points out the Motorola DEFY and the new myTouch. We hope the "wide selection" includes... Read more » Buzz of Google’s music service grows
As rumors bubble about Apple's potential foray into cloud-based music storage, Google is apparently set on the strategy from the get-go in a bid to change the way we consume entertainment. (I say "from the get-go" in that Google haves't seriously approached media management for Android as of yet.) And what else but a calculated sea change and technological...

If you followed my tweets this afternoon, or read my recap of the DROID× press conference, you probably saw the nugget about 'early upgrades for DROID× buyers'. Well, I have a treat for you. Verizon is extending this offer to be valid for ANY 3G smartphone. So if you've been waiting for your contract to end, so you can get an Incredible, now's the time to...

Have you ever been workin' down on the farm -- you know, just tendin' your crops and livestock -- when, all of a sudden, you realize that you need to buy a new tractor and some straw. You rush down to the market, only to discover that you're fresh out of credits. Frantically, you click on the "Buy Credits" button and pay with your mobile phone. Text received,... Read more »
