After being sued by the Department of Justice, AT&T and T-Mobile have a hearing set for September 21, where Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle expects the two companies to reach a settlement.

AT&T’s 4G LTE network should be in full force soon, and the HTC Holiday might be its very first smartphone to take advantage of it. The HTC Holiday looks like your average HTC smartphone with the latest version of Sense UI, but it’s the innards that make all the difference. Word is that it will…
The Samsung Epic 4G Touch for Sprint, which is the carrier’s variant of the Galaxy S II Android smartphone, is launching this month and can be had for $50 less than the full retail price if you pre-order.

Because cell phones could always be a little thinner, LG saw it fit to make the Optimus 3D 2 just 7mm thick. It’s pretty impressive, but the first thing that comes to mind is how much battery size and life might have been sacrificed. It’s sorta important, you know, with a 3D phone and all.…

The Samsung Galaxy S II is finally arriving in the U.S. and Samsung is kicking things off with an event tonight in New York City.
