Just a short time after its Wi-Fi was released to the public, the 4G LTE enabled version of the Asus Transformer Pad 300 has cleared the government’s hands at the FCC which means its release should have just gotten a little closer. The filing, first dug up by Liliputing, reveals the device as the Asus [...]
One of the drawbacks of AT&T’s HTC One X has been the fact that its bootloader is locked down. HTC has not yet released a bootloader unlock tool leaving some to wonder whether an “official” method would ever arrive.

While neither Samsung nor the American carriers involved with the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III launch have revealed anything, the evidence points to all four major U.S. getting the device in June.

AT&T is trying to make its 3G and “4G” HSPA networks better in New York City by getting rid of some of its 2G coverage. According to All Things D, AT&T is moving some of its bandwidth off its 2G network and putting it on 3G and “4G” networks. The carrier is contacting users that [...]

The Nokia Lumia 900 has a 4.3-inch ClearBlack display that not only looks great but has some of the best durability of any smartphone screen on the market.

I have no doubt that the HTC One X is a pretty good smartphone. We gave it a favorable review, most sites think it’s one of the best smartphones of 2012 and my colleague Shawn Ingram originally bought the One X instead of an iPhone. (He has since replaced it with an iPhone.) Me? I’m [...]
T-Mobile won’t be following in the footsteps of AT&T and Verizon when it comes to offering shared data plans.

With the HTC EVO 4G LTE and One X held up by Customs, we have no idea when either phone will be available again, or for the first time in the case of the EVO 4G LTE. We do know that both phones are worth the wait for Android fans. The EVO 4G LTE and [...]
Following rival Verizon Wireless’ announcement that it would be switching customers to family shared data plans, AT&T Mobility says that it is looking to do the same and announced intentions to boost profits.

With Verizon lighting up a host of new cities with 4G LTE today, it’s only right that AT&T make an expansion of its own as the carrier bolstered its new 4G LTE network with three new cities today. While AT&T’s roll out isn’t as expansive as Verizon’s, it does bring three major cities into the [...]
Verizon has confirmed that it will be killing off grandfathered unlimited data plans that it offers to 3G customers who had contracts in place prior to the carrier’s introduction of tiered data last July.

Apple’s re-branding the tablet formerly known as the “iPad Wi-Fi +4G” as the “iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular” due to international pressure.

Marketing a 4G device in countries void of 4G networks didn’t make a lot of [...]
