Dish Network owns 40 MHz worth of spectrum in the 2 GHz band that they want to use to build an LTE-Advanced network. Earlier this year they wrote a letter to the FCC asking them for permission to build said network, and we’ve yet to hear whether or not they’ve been given the go ahead.…
MediaTek may not have the sex appeal that Texas Instruments does with their OMAP processors or Samsung does with their Exynos chips, but they’re a player you need to watch with a close eye.

Call me a sucker, but I love “behind the scenes” type content. It’s one thing to read about the guts of a product, another to read someone’s impressions of using said product, but seeing it being put together … that’s just a totally different level. The folks at Nokia Conversations, the official Nokia corporate blog,…
Now that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is officially out, at least in Europe, it’s time to see how it performs compared to the competition. We can’t think of a better site to run benchmarks on this flagship device than Anandtech, because they’re so meticulous that it’s damn near scientific. Let’s start with the dual core…

Google says they want Motorola for the patents, that they’re going to let Motorola do their own…
Earlier this week T-Mobile announced that they’ve launched 42 Mbps HSPA+ in 11 new markets, bringing the total number of markets where their high speed wireless broadband is available to 163. To put that into plain English, roughly 180 million Americans now have access to 42 Mbps HSPA+. They also announced that they’ve brought 21…
Panasonic is a brand one typically associated with televisions or expensive batteries, but did you know that they’re the second largest mobile phone maker in Japan? Panasonic Mobile Communications is a business unit that employees roughly 2,600 people, which seems like a lot of folks to address a market that’s only half the size of…
Earlier this week, Wednesday to be precise, Nokia’s first Windows Phone, the Lumia 800, went on sale in England. It’s a device that was leaked as far back as June, and one that’s been eagerly awaited since Nokia’s February 11th announcement where they said they’re going to kill Symbian, throw MeeGo under the bus, and…
