At some point in time, most of us who use a smart phone have probably owned a Blackberry. A lot of people won’t admit to it, but they have. Love it or hate it, you can’t deny that back in the days of being called RIM they owned the planet. Things have obviously changed, and now they’re struggling to adapt and catch up. One thing Blackberry always had to keep some dignity was B... »

For quite a few years now, Samsung has been the primary supplier of LCD displays to Apple. You heard that right, the two companies that hate each other in the courtrooms actually have quite a huge agreement on displays for all those iJunk devices.

So unless you’re digitally disconnected or live under a rock, by now you’ve heard the news that has rolled out today about the Apple vs Samsung legal battle.

T-Mobile has announced a new Magenta Days Deal starting today. The deal is that they will guarantee you a trade-in value for your old device worth $50 and up to $200.

I certainly don’t feel this is any coincidence that they are doing this starting today since today is also the day that the HTC One S a... »
The rumored price tag that Verizon customers may end up seeing if they intend to purchase a DROID RAZR is $649. That’s a bit outlandish, don’t you think?

According to TmoNews, Magenta has implemented a retention plan for would-be jumpers to the iPhone 4S on AT&T or potentially even Ve... »
I know, we've been beating this iPhone story around the block and back, but this one should appeal to our readers, I think. It appears as though Samsung has filed an injunction to stop the (cr)Apple device from ever hitting French and Italian retail shelves. Big S opened up two cases in Paris, France and Milan, Italy today, asking the courts to halt the sale of the phone -- scheduled to launch on ... »
I know, I know. We’re an Android blog, yet there’s a big fat iPhone logo right there on our main page. Sometimes though, we need to report on the competition, because it can, and often does alter the scope of the Android outlook. For those of you who may be living under a rock, I’ll break the news to you that Apple had a very important keynote today titled “Let’s Talk... »
Apple? Who is that? Today will now be known as the day that the first reported screenshot’s of the upcoming Samsung Nexus Prime leaked out. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the shot below. A few things to notice, no hardware controls can be seen. You will notice the Honeycomb like touch controls on the bottom of the display.
