LTE is the only thing mobile broadband nuts can focus on. But with promised speeds of 25Mbps+, wouldn’t you? Unfortunately, here in the States we have to deal with a lot of landmass which inherently slows down major network upgrades to the point of being several years behind European markets. Though Verizon’s LTE network is rumored to be going live a tad earlier than expected near the end of this summer/early fall. Though that release would not be accompanies...
A few days back, we saw reports of people across the country experiencing very un-HSUPA-like speeds to the tune of ~100kbps. Clearly, something was amiss. At first, the blame was put on AT&T (and rightfully so). Afterall, it is their network. But alas, it looks like a third party is at fault this time. According to a statement released by AT&T, a hardware supplier that goes by the name, “Alcatel-Lucent” is having some issues with their hardware. ...

Especially considering a new, Android slider is in the making… While I’m content with my DROID, the onslaught of much beefier hardware since November has really had me hoping for “the next great slider”. The so called HTC PC70110 as it is shown above, signals to me...
At first, it seemed like Dell’s ambitions with Android were lackluster at best. So far, what they’ve shown us was drawing nothing but yawns on my end. However, the tides changed quite drastically today with the unveiling leak of the Android-powered “Thunder”. A cousin of the Windows Phone 7 “Lightning”, the Thunder aims to usher in the next generation of Android on all new, classy looking hardware. And yes, the body the Thunder is...
