Dish Network, who most of us consider to be a budget satellite television provider in the United States, sits on 40 MHz worth of spectrum in the 2 GHz band. Said spectrum comes with a restriction however, it has to be used for a satellite based network. Dish sent a letter to the FCC in…
Google likes to name their Android releases using sweets in alphabetical order: Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Frozen Yogurt (FroYo), Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich. This obviously begs the question, what’s next? Benson Lin, who is a Vice President at ASUS, revealed to TechRadar in an interview that Android 5.0 will be called Jelly Bean. He doesn’t…
Apple’s iPad 3 is going to be announced in less than 60 hours, so I’m not going to bother speculating about what it’s going to be called, how fast it’s going to be, or whether or not it’s going to be 4G LTE enabled. That being said, the folks at Aatma Studio, who describe themselves…
In late January Samsung announced the Galaxy S Advance, which can best be described as a 4 inch version of the Samsung Galaxy S II, except that it’s slightly slower (1 GHz versus 1.2 GHz) and has a less capable camera (5 MP versus 8 MP). We didn’t know the official price tag back then,…
It’s hard to believe, but Mobile World Congress 2012 kicked off one week ago today. HTC’s One series may have been impressive, as was Nokia’s 41 megapixel PureView, but there was one device we all kept in the back of our minds.

Earlier today I filed a report that said Nokia’s Lumia 800 was the most popular selling device on Elisa’s network. Elisa being Finland’s largest wireless operator with 2,879,700 subscribers. For shits and giggles I went ahead and took a look at their Q4 2011 financial results to get a sense of how the company is…
Here in Finland we have three major operators: Elisa, Sonera, and DNA. Elisa has the biggest/best network, Sonera is decent, and DNA is small, but is growing fast. Last month, on the first of February, Nokia’s Lumia 800 finally went on sale in the country that it calls home. At the time I tweeted: “The…
I’ll admit it, when Nokia announced the PureView 808 the first thing that came to my mind was the word “bullshit”. How the hell could they possibly say that they made a camera phone with a 41 megapixel sensor? This industry may be fast moving, some might even call it exciting, but one thing it…
Anyone remember Paul Amsellem? He’s the Nokia employee who a little over three months ago gave an interview to the French newspaper Les Échos and spilled the beans on two of the company’s upcoming devices. The first piece of hardware he leaked, and I’m using the term “leak” very loosely here, was the Nokia Lumia…
Back in December of last year, on the 29th to be precise, Samsung announced that they just sold 1 million Galaxy Notes. It took them less than two months after launching the product to do that. Two days ago Forbes published a piece that said Samsung Galaxy Note sales have exceeded 2 million units. That’s…
