iPhone + VZW: Will they or won’t they? (Verizon CEO says it’s up to Apple)

Sometimes, covering the drama of the mobile phone industry is like watching TV. Just as I hoped and prayed for Sam and Diane to finally couple up (followed by Ross and Rachel, and now Finn and Rachel), I am watching the Verizon–iPhone situation with...

Phones for the disgustingly wealthy

We’re pretty sure none of these ridiculously priced handsets will be on your upcoming holiday lists, but what the heck? Let’s take a quick look at how the other half lives anyway. As usual, whenever I look at the buying habits of rich...

Universal phone chargers are on the horizon

One of the most annoying things about about mobile life is dealing with various chargers. Several cell phone companies have their favorite styles of proprietary connectors, and even mini USB can have different plug heads. But there’s been a...

AT&T exec kinda/sorta acknowledges the end of iPhone exclusivity someday

Vague, yes. But even so, the merest acknowledgment on the part of AT&T regarding the end of its exclusive iPhone offering still seems to qualify as news. And why not? Whenever the subject’s come up in the past, the carrier practically stuck its...

Lawsuits, pt deux: Nokia claims Apple violated 10 patents

Is this peak litigation season or something? After the news broke that AT&T is suing LCD manufacturers, there’s word that Nokia has just filed a lawsuit against Apple in Delaware today. The Finnish company is claiming that the iPhone has violated 10...

AT&T sues LCD makers, alleges price fixing

The boys in blue (AT&T, not law enforcement) have certainly been keeping themselves busy. Not necessarily with improving their 3G network, working out a reasonable pricing scheme for MicroCell, or enabling that pesky iPhone tethering feature, but...

B&N takes on Kindle with new 3G eReader, the Nook (AT&T)

If I could layer in some old 60s Batman-style audio of “Smashes,” “Booms” and “Blams” into these posts, I would. This would be a great place to use them. In a move that may frighten Amazon’s Kindle...

iPhone apps: Find a Starbucks, pay for lattes with your cell phone

National coffee peddler Starbucks has officially gotten in the mobile phone game now, with two free iPhone apps that let caffeine junkies do everything from finding the nearest location to making purchases with their cell phones. myStarbucks...

Outdoing Amazon, Walmart offers Pre for just $80

If you thought Amazon’s $100 offer for the Pre was good, check out Walmart.com. The discount retailer just sweetened the deal with an $79.99 price tag for the smartphone. The catch is that the $80 isn’t the checkout price, but your final cost after...

JD Power: Tmo #1 for customer satisfaction

It may be the #4 national wireless carrier, but apparently T-mobile is #1 in our hearts. Magenta has scored another JD Power award for customer satisfaction, with the highest ranking among major carrier-owned retail stores. The companies were...

Re: Re: AT&T amends lawsuit, demands that Verizon drops latest round of commercials

Re: Re: Simple Mobile hits the MVNO marketplace, offering affordable rate plans

I love how they proudly advertise watching YouTube as a feature. You couldn't finish watching even one video with a 20MB plan. Deceptive advertising abounds. I wouldn't give this company a dime.

Re: Simple Mobile hits the MVNO marketplace, offering affordable rate plans

It seems that this company has done what T-Mobile tried to do with the Even More and Even More Plus Plans. T-Mobile failed to keep it simple. Ooops.

Re: Simple Mobile hits the MVNO marketplace, offering affordable rate plans

During our Sprint 4G launch week in N.C., I enjoyed meeting iPhone owners, like Brett, who were looking for a better network. Because the iPhone is a WiFi-enabled device, to turn it into a 4G iPhone, all I needed to do was give Brett access to my...

Re: Simple Mobile hits the MVNO marketplace, offering affordable rate plans

seems like they have the same coverage map as T-mobile, im also glad to see that you can buy a sim card from them, but what sucks is that they give you only 20 or 40mb of data

Re: Simple Mobile hits the MVNO marketplace, offering affordable rate plans

im eager to see what type of phones they will get/or have.

they don't have to mention the iphone in the ad because it's obvious that meant to be the iphone

Re: AT&T amends lawsuit, demands that Verizon drops latest round of commercials

verizon is using solid facts about coverage, if AT&T can't handle it then they need to step up their game instead of firing off lawsuits because the big bad bully picked on them....boohoo verizon has the best network, period. as for the "attacks"...
