Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
The Sprint roadmap we saw last week has been updated with a few new devices. On top of the phones we’ve already seen, like the Samsung Conquer and the BlackBerry Torch 9850, the LG Optimus Black (listed as the LS855) and the Samsung M930 (a slider we had caught a glimpse of not long ago)…
Spectrum, quite possibly the most expensive invisible thing you can buy, is absolutely crucial for the wireless industry to function. The Chief Executive Officers of six American operators (AT&T, Cellcom, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S Cellular, and Verizon Wireless) recently sent a letter [PDF file] to President Obama asking if he could get the Department of Commerce’s…
Well friends, the long wait for the Samsung Galaxy S II in the United States is almost over as we’ve heard it will be announced in August and Samsung has put up a signup page for the superphone. The Samsung Galaxy S II signup page asks for the usual information like name and e-mail but…
By now, you’ve heard the big news that Sprint and LightSquared are partnering to build out a 4G LTE network and this could give the carrier a next-generation mobile data network which can match AT&T and Verizon’s 4G networks.

We hope you’re sitting down, because this next bit of news is not only groundbreaking, but damn right confusing. LightSquared, which right now is nothing more than a PowerPoint presentation bouncing around people’s laptops, is a wireless operator run by a hedge fund who originally planned to contract Nokia Siemens Networks to build out a…
Sprint is one of my favorite wireless carriers in the U.S., and it has an excellent selection of smartphones. It all started with the HTC EVO 4G, which was the first 4G WiMax device for Sprint. It was also a beast of a phone with a four-plus-inch screen and a 1GHz processor running Google’s Android…
Just in case you needed some extra assurance that Sprint would be getting RIM’s latest touchscreen slate, a shot of the device with a Sprint wallpaper has been sighted. Although we’ve also seen an AT&T wallpaper on the new Torch, and there are no sure bets without seeing the device itself branded, but the “activation…
Samsung’s Galaxy S II, which reviewers around the world hail as the best smartphone currently on the market, has been noticeably absent from American shores. Yesterday we got a peak at the AT&T version of the device, and it’s been heavily modified with the addition of a QWERTY keyboard. What use are physical keys when…
