Well, we finally got our hands on the LG Nitro HD and we’re pretty impressed with this 4G LTE device on AT&T. The first thing you’ll notice is the 4.5-inch True HD IPS display which can deliver 720p resolution. At the LG event in New York, the company was showing it against a competing Samsung…
AT&T and Sprint have confirmed that they use the controversial Carrier IQ software, which has raised concern about privacy after videos show that it can secretly track your incoming SMS messages, log keystrokes, parse encrypted HTTPS strings and more.

AT&T has just posted a scathing response to the FCC’s report on its proposed T-Mobile acquisition and said the government agency’s analysis was “one-sided” and sounded more like an “advocacy piece” than a fair-minded analysis. Yowza, this kitty has claws. AT&T has been trying to purchase T-Mobile for about $36 billion and it says the…

Over the past few years we’ve seen operators backtrack on their once unlimited data plans and instead switch to offering their customers buckets of megabytes. H2O Wireless, which is a prepaid mobile virtual network operator that uses AT&T’s 3G network, used to have an unlimited everything $60 per month plan. For folks with enough common…
When AT&T announced their intent to buy T-Mobile in March of this year, we freaked out. The United States needs more competition in the wireless space, not less. Everyone started complaining about the deal, with Sprint being incredibly vocal about the consequences of the government approving the deal. Earlier this week FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski…
Those who just can’t wait for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus to land in the US, or those not looking to switch to Verizon Wireless anytime soon will be happy to hear that you can now order yours (not pre-order) right now from Expansys. This is the unlocked GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus, allowing you…
