Two Windows Phones launched on AT&T yesterday, Nokia’s Lumia 900 and HTC’s Titan II. The former is being offered for $99 with a two year contract, the latter was supposed to cost $199 with a two year contract, but now it’s just $149. Why did this happen? We can only speculate, but we’re going to…
The next major version of Windows Phone, codenamed Apollo, is due to land in the fourth quarter of this year. We have a rough idea of what new features it’ll bring to the table, but until Microsoft issues a press release detailing everything we should know about … we’re pretty much clueless to what’s true…
One of the best things about Android 4.0 is the fact that it doesn’t need any front facing buttons to run. Just look at the Galaxy Nexus, it’s a beautiful solid sheet of glass. HTC’s 2012 flagship, the One X, has three hideous buttons, and that seriously makes us sad. So what about Samsung’s hero…
Samsung’s flagship device this year is going to be the Galaxy S III. HTC has the One X. Nokia has the Lumia 900. And Apple will have whatever they end up calling the next iPhone. But what about LG?

Pantech may be known as a budget brand in America, but in their home country of South Korea it’s a completely different story. Today they’re proving that yet again with the announcement of the Vega Racer 2. For those of you who don’t remember the first version of the Racer, it’s pretty much the Samsung…
Nokia may be getting all the attention (of what little there is) in the Windows Phone world, but let’s not forget that there are other players with their neck in the game. Samsung, who we’ve traditionally recognized as the leading manufacturer of Android devices, has released a few Windows Phone devices that haven’t really taken…
While Nokia hasn’t exactly confirmed this to be true, we know the Finnish handset maker is working on a Linux based operating system for feature phones called Meltami. The question is when exactly will devices based on this OS hit the market? Thanks to a leak that was discovered by Unwired View, we might not…

Known as Uplus, today the company is announcing that they’re the first operator in the world to cover an entire country with 4G LTE.
