Darth Vader has appeared in a quirky ad for NTT Docomo’s launch of the Samsung Galaxy S I9000. I’m sure there’s some kind of logic for this pairing, but it’s completely lost in translation. Still, I can only applaud any reference to Sith Lords, Dark Sides, and any other ancillary dorkery in the wireless world.…
Black Friday is upon us and so are the savings (and rabid mobs, for that matter). This year, Sprint wants everyone to know that they’ll have Android handsets available for all your Black Friday shopping needs. And, since many of you will be out there braving the crowds anyway, we thought it was a good…
We all love smartphones, especially the ones that cost over half a thousand Euros, but not everyone can afford those.

You didn’t think HTC and Samsung were just going to get sued and take it laying down, did you?
