The iPhone 4S will get a massive, record shattering number of sales but Android will just keep plugging at them from all directions, all year long. AT&T initially planned to deliver 12 Android phones in 2011. They’ve met that already and will exceed it by releasing at least 7 more Android powered phones and they … Read more
There seem to be some issues with visual voicemail on Windows Phones running 7.5 (Mango) on T-Mobiles network. Odd fix, but the solution: text "Activate:dt=6" to 122 without the quotes. There’s also a way to activate it online but it’s noted that you have to make sure you check ‘start immediately’ and some who have … Read more
This whole ultrabook thing seemed like vaporware for a while but Acer is set to start sales of its S3 this week. What you get is a form factor that’s nearly identical to a Mac Book Air (it’s actually slightly thinner by .15” and the same weight). You also get the same 1.66ghz chip, 4mb … Read more

I got a phone call from my local Best Buy guy and who informed me that they have changed the iPhone 4S presale policy. Last week, the presale did not guarantee you a iPhone 4S on launch day, but guaranteed you one after after that. I decided not to put down my deposit because I … Read more

That disappointing announcement of a new iPhone that didn’t have the number 5 on it left many of us winded and wondering what they were thinking. Once Wall Street heard that news it triggered a small selloff. Some of you declared your intention either to go Android or wait it out for the iPhone 5, … Read more
I don’t get it, do we really need something like this? The AT&T Toggle app switched between work and play modes basically. Don’t we do that already though without an app? Supposedly it’s more geared towards business phones, and I guess it’s useful for them. Maybe I don’t get it because I don’t have a … Read more

Just like the headline up there say, Verizon is getting its first 4G phone with a QWERTY keyboard. Not sure why it’s so amazingly important but it appears they’re excited about it anyway. I for one used to be a person who only used phones with keyboards, but since screens have gotten bigger it doesn’t … Read more
Here’s another reason not to let your significant other get access top your phone, the My Love Life app for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. To me this just seems a bit juvenile, I mean seriously tracking your sex life via an app? It can track more than that but I think that’s its main … Read more
