Any way to upgrade to Nexus 6 on VZW and NOT lose unlimited plan?

Pay full price new, buy used, or try the Best Buy method. The Best Buy method actually works at Amazon and Costco.com too. It may even work with other third party retailers, but it was first confirmed for phones shipped from Best Buy...

Suggestions for MIL with flip phone and no wi-fi

A T-Mobile iPad sounds pretty good. That's what I'd get my own grandmother if she were alive today. If she's set up with email and a decently-privatized facebook account, she should be able to see most anything you and the family would want to share, no physical media required.

When should I replace my battery on my S4?

In my experience, you might notice slight degradation after a year, becoming slightly more noticeable over the next year. But nowhere along this phase does it become unusable. After that, when it actually goes bad, it really goes fast. Charging/discharging becomes erratic and unpredictable...

Sprint to shutter its WIMAX servers November 2015

Oh, Sprint. Back in the late 90's, they were the original "uncarrier." No contracts, easy-to-understand plans, great value, and they even had Trenchcoat Guy as their smooth-but-straightforward spokesperson. But they kind of went a bit psychotic after Verizon Wireless formed, and they ain't...

John Legere, TMO CEO, discusses iPhone 6 Bendgate

He's an awesome "cut the goddamn bullshit and keep this fucking shit real" kind of CEO, but does he really need to curse so much?

papa johns

Kind of. They're anti-worker. They're against minimum wage (they already pay drivers less than minimum wage where they can get away with it), and they're against providing health insurance for their workers. Just your basic average "I got mine, screw everyone else" GOP conservatives. Not a...

Where have all the small phone fans gone?

Texting while driving is not a Darwin Award Activity. It would only qualify as Darwin Award Activity only if their 2-ton projectile didn't have the potential take out others more fit for survival. Examples: Texting while: Mountain Biking = Darwin Award Downhill Skiing = Darwin...

Why do Verizon phones have inferior battery life?

It's the two radios thing. Verizon phones go to standby on two networks at once; the CDMA network for voice and text, and the LTE or EVDO network for data. GSM providers' phones only need to standby on one network. The difference will eventually go away as Verizon's VO-LTE is rolled out...

Best streaming box (Now a Blogish post)

I liked my Roku so much, I just bought a 2nd. I bought the new version of the Roku 2, which is currently on sale for about $60. (My older Roku is the Roku 2XS, which is discontinued.)

Is LTE just a money making gimmick for cell phone carriers?

Super real. This is on Verizon, today, from my house, showing three signal bars. Some T-Mobile people are enjoying even better speed, and definitely lower pings. (I believe Verizon's pings are higher due to their eHRPD system, which I've read is necessary to make their legacy 3G and...

Is LTE just a money making gimmick for cell phone carriers?

Not much to say that hasn't been said, but in a nutshell, LTE is fantastic. It makes better use of the available spectrum to serve more users, faster. It'll also eventually support voice calling on all networks. Once LTE coverage is fully built and tuned for coverage identical to current 2G...

Verizon contract is up this month, what say you?

Got unlimited data? No family or roommates? Travel frequently and enjoy connectivity along the way? Get good 4G speed from the cell tower closest to home? Consider paying extra for a new phone to stay month to month and keep unlimited data, adding the $30 tethering option (still available to...

Finally left Sprint! How to comletely clear EVO 4G LTE to sell?

Factory reset is all you should need to do. The remaining info is probably just the info Sprint uses to authenticate on their network. It will be reset when a buyer activates the phone on their own Sprint account. If you wish, you should be able to manually edit the account info and replace...
