Evan Selleck, Sep 4th 2009 Discuss [3]

The LG BL40 has been something of a mystery, not so much in specs or even images, but more than anything else a mystery in of itself. The sheer aesthetics of the device make the average person cock their head to the side, and scratch the top of their skull in wonderment. Is that a phone?

Evan Selleck, Sep 4th 2009 Discuss [8]

No, that doesn't mean that the price is huge. Actually, in comparison it seems pretty low.

Besides, it's a lot better to hear the information from the horse's mouth anyway, isn't it? Because, like in this case, we get some tangible pieces of information that actually mean something. Like pricing, availability, and some extra tidbits that could even surprise the masses. Read The Full Story

Evan Selleck, Sep 1st 2009 Discuss [3]

Android is beginning to pop up everywhere, and while we are eagerly awaiting Motorola's event coming up in about nine days now, we can't forget about the manufacturer who adopted Google to begin with: HTC.

Evan Selleck, Sep 1st 2009 Discuss [0]

It's only been a week or so since AT&T stepped up its wireless 3G network in Atlanta, and earlier in the week they did the same for San Francisco.

So, now we've got better 3G in the Big Apple and the surrounding areas. Read The Full Story
