Android Phone Without Google Voice? Yes, But What a Deal! You Get What You Pay for @ Virgin Mobile.
News of Virgin Mobile starting to sell an Android phone is disruptive, to say the least. Not because of the phone – it’s a dinky little Samsung Intercept – but because of the plans. They are all contract-free, and start at $25. The basic level only gives you 300 minutes to talk, but it includes […]
A Whiter Shade of Pale by Apple (Leaky iPhone and More)
This is the Week of Leaks: first and foremost Wikileaks, and now the iPhone Leak. No, I’m not talking about the disappearing signal (aren’t we bored of the iPhone antenna stories yet?), this is leaking white light as reported by TheStreet.com: Apparently, the back light from the iPhone display screen is leaking out around the […]
Update on the Sprint HTC EVO Battery Debate: Not Bad, Really. See Yourself.
The HTC EVO is the hottest Android phone for now, but it is plagued by the much debated battery issue.

Fixing the Battery Problem your Android Smartphone Seems to Have
Image via Wikipedia I shared some of my recent Android experience here, with the two leading phones, Verizon’s HTC Incredible and Sprint’s EVO now it’s time to share a trick (actually two) that makes or breaks your experience with these two mobile powerhouses. Matt Burns @ MobileCrunch loves the EVO but considers the battery a […]
Does Sprint Limit Using Google Voice?
(See update @ the bottom)Well, this did not take long. I’ve just speculated that Google & Sprint wanted testers before the commercial rollout of the Android-driven HTC EVO on June 4th – a few hours later I see that theory proven. I ran into trouble setting up Google Voice, and called the special number given […]
The World is International Google, Believe It Or Not
This post might come across as sour grapes, it’s sure not meant to be that way. I’ve spent the last two days at Google IO – It was an amazing event – the Android keynote that Vic Gundotra gave in particular was astounding. But anyway, I digress. At the event all attendees were given a […]
