Samsung Galaxy Note Challenge: Day 1

Wap — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:00:05 +0000

Yesterday, I asked you which AT&T phone you wanted to see me carry for 30 days, and the response was overwhelming. In a landslide, the Samsung Galaxy Note won over the HTC Titan, Apple iPhone 4S, and other hot, high-end GSM smartphones.
Thanks to your votes, I’ll be rocking the Note as my personal phone for the month of February. It’ll be my primary communication device at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and at other meetings and events throughout the month. I’ve…

I’m not a fanboy, I’m just critical of everything for a reason

Wap — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:00:02 +0000

It seems as if every day I get called something different depending on an article I’ve written that day, the previous day or even six months ago. It doesn’t matter what I say, I’m a fanboy of some sort, for some platform, regardless of the point I’m actually trying to get across. If I put one platform in anything but positive light, I must be batting for the other team. Right?
It’s not that I care what people say. In fact, I find it more entertaining than anything. If you want to…

How do you share data between your smartphone and PC?

Wap — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:00:03 +0000

We use, trust and rely on our smartphones for more and more every day. That means we all are likely using them to store more vital data – pictures and other information that we want to keep safe. Since mobile storage is limited and storing private information – like risqué pictures of yourself at that New Year’s Eve party you don’t remember – on a device you carry everywhere with you raises the potential danger of it finding its way into the wrong hands, it’s usually best to move your files…

Updated T-Mobile document shows HTC Sensation 4G, myTouch devices no longer EOL

Wap — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 06:00:02 +0000

Remember that leaked T-Mobile document from a few days ago that claimed that a handful of devices, including the HTC Amaze 4G and Sensation 4G, were nearing end-of-life status? Well it seems as though things may have changed since then, as an updated inventory screen sent to our Magenta friends at TmoNews shows that some of those handsets are no longer bearing the EOL indicator. The Sensation 4G, myTouch 4G Slide, myTouch and myTouch Q are all now carrying a “Sell Through” designation. That…

The T-Mobile leaks continue! Hot on the heels of a leaked document showing a handful of handsets that’ll soon be hitting end-of-life status, a new image sent to our buddies at TmoNews shows that T-Mobile is planning to introduce some changes to its domestic data roaming policy. Starting April 5th, T-Mobile will begin capping the amount of data that its customers can use while roaming onto a partner’s network. T-Mobile notes that when you hit the domestic data roaming ceiling, your roaming data…

What could Samsung’s ‘revolutionary’ device in the Super Bowl ad be?

Wap — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 06:00:03 +0000

We went into CES this year not expecting much in terms of smartphones. We figured OEMs would hold off for CTIA, a mobile-specific show, later next month. However, we were hit with announcements in rapid succession the day before the show really kicked into action. AT&T announced seven new phones, Verizon announced four phones and Sprint made two new phones official. The two manufacturers who had a small presence throughout the show, though, were Samsung and HTC.
We know HTC will be…

This week’s show features a few comments from YouTube and an interesting teaser look at what a PhoneDog movie would be like. Our wallpaper is a photo of the Acura NSX. If you have a suggestion for a wallpaper, leave it as a comment below and I may use it in next week’s show. Keep on leaving your comments on YouTube , Facebook , Twitter , and PhoneDog.com…

Will 2012 see more security options for phones?

Wap — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 06:00:06 +0000

Mobile security has come a long way over the years. Moving from a simple password, to more complicated ones, to drawing lines on the screen it’s become something of a focal point for people to make sure that the information on their device is secure from some stranger getting their hands on their phone. It makes sense, of course. Your smartphone has become something of an important tool in your life, and there’s a real possibility that you probably have all your important…
