Phone Review: Samsung Galaxy S III

*Yes, I am aware that this video is REALLY long, but damnit, I had a lot to say… Feel free to use the fast forward feature… Samsung’s latest flagship phone has landed.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is, of course, the Android-powered sequel to the Samsung Galaxy S II, a […]

This accessory was provided by Wireless Emporium, go check them out! In my own personal mission to try and lengthen the life of my smartphone’s battery, I’ve used portable chargers, solar chargers, and even spare batteries. Personally the only one of the those options that significantly extends my battery’s life (by double of course) is using a spare battery. Now, there are a few inconveniences that come along with that of course. Among them is, batteries aren’t cheap, it’s annoying to carry around another battery in your pocket, and that in order to have both chargered you need to fully

T-Mobile Sidekick 4G Review

Remember the Sidekick? Seems like only yesterday that if you were in high school and you had a Sidekick, you were cool. Seriously cool. You could text, email, take pictures, and chat on AIM (remember that AIM thing?) all at the same time. This was a simpler time, no iTelephones, or robots, the only other cool phone it had to compete with was… the RAZR. It was a no brainer if you were young and had a social life. This thing was the king of being socially connected before being social connected had anything to do with websites like Facebook

HTC Trophy Review

Well, Verizon users, the wait is over. Windows Phone 7 has finally arrived on Big Red. The HTC Trophy is the first Verizon Windows Phone and on paper it can hold it’s own with the rest of the Windows Phone devices being launched lately. A 1ghz processor, 576mbs of RAM, 5.0MP camera with a flash and dedicated camera button (oh, how I love dedicated camera buttons), and a 3.8″ 800×480 resolution capacitive screen are just some of the specs for this new addition to Verizon’s lineup. Wondering whether this could be your next device when that Verizon upgrade is ready?
