Yup the brand new Nokia Lumia 900 is now the darling of the media, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other Windows Phones made by the Finnish company. To remind everyone about that fact, Nokia is offering a free “Xpress-on” backplate for T-Mobile’s Lumia 710. The offer is available for devices purchased between January 11,…
Back in January of this year we covered a story out of Japan that centered around one particular operator, KDDI, pushing ads to customers via the notification bar that all Android devices come with.

AT&T has a 4G LTE network that uses the 700 MHz band. Verizon has a 4G LTE network that uses the 700 MHz band. Why is it then that AT&T’s 4G LTE subscribers can’t roam on Verizon’s 4G LTE network and vice versa? It’s technically possible, but the way the FCC sees it they want…
