T-Mobile is continuing the expansion of its 4G HSPA+ network in the U.S., and today five new cities have been added to the list. The following cities should have some pretty solid HSPA+ coverage now, which means lighting fast data download speeds: Des Moines, Iowa; Gainesville and Panama City, Florida; Monterey, California; and Savannah, Georgia.…
Verizon jumps the gun and says HTC Thunderbolt is available in new flyer
Verizon just doesn’t seem to know what they are talking about when it comes to the availability of the much-anticipated HTC Thunderbolt. After a handful of rumored dates, all of which have been delayed, Big Red decided to send out a new flyer (not that Flyer), which states that the Thunderbolt is, “Now Available”. This…
LG Revolution hits up the FCC on way to Verizon’s 4G LTE network
LG’s upcoming LTE-toting Android phone for Verizon, the Revolution, has just made its way to the FCC. The powerful handset is up to snuff to that of the HTC Thunderbolt, and maybe we’ll even see this device released before the supposed “first 4G LTE phone” for Big Red. LG has been on a roll lately…
Review: Motorola Atrix 4G for AT&T – Is this the world’s most powerful smartphone?
Now that AT&T has lost exclusivity of the iPhone, it will be making a big bet on the Android platform and the Motorola Atrix 4G will be its crown jewel for the next few months. With a dual-core Tegra 2 processor, HSPA+ 4G, a fingerprint scanner and some fancy docks, the Atrix 4G could truly…
Samsung Stealth Verizon LTE Android phone spotted in the wild
Samsung ironically decided to name their next Android phone the “Stealth,” which is funny, because it just leaked out to the world – not very stealthy. We got some hands-on time with this handset back at CES, but this new leak is the handset’s first appearance in the wild. The powerful handset hit the FCC…
Motorola Atrix 4G upload speeds capped at 300Kbps?
When Motorola and AT&T announced the Atrix 4G during CES 2011, they touted it as the most technologically advanced smartphone in the market today. It has a dual-core processor, runs Android 2.2 Froyo, docks onto and powers a laptop and is equipped to handle AT&T’s HSPA+ “4G” network. However, it seems that the latter might…
Apple considering TD-LTE iPhone for China
No one was surprised when Apple and Verizon announced a CDMA iPhone 4 earlier this year without the inclusion of LTE, or the technology that Verizon uses for its 4G network. We did have our hopes up, however, though it seemed like we’d have to wait another year before an LTE model of the Apple…
REVIEW: HTC Inspire 4G – A Desire HD with an AT&T twist
Just because we’ve seen the HTC Desire HD before, doesn’t mean there’s less to love its brother from another mother, AT&T’s HTC Inspire 4G. The sexy handset packs HSPA+ data connectivity, 1GHz processor, 8 megapixel camera, and a price that’s unbeatable. Still, with the introduction of devices like the Motorola Atrix 4G, is this handset up…

Enjoy your unlimited data plans while you can, Verizon users, as it looks like the carrier may be killing them off in favor of tiered data plans when mid-summer 2011 comes rolling through.

T-Mobile G-Slate shows up online with $700 price tag
We’ve been expecting some sort of pricing for the T-Mobile G-Slate (Optimus Pad outside of the US), but MobileCityOnline has just posted the 3D-toting Honeycomb tablet with a $699 price tag. What’s more promising about the price of the G-Slate is that it looks like there have yet to be any subsidies applied to that $699…
