While many of you may have been on board with the changes that AT&T recently made to its tiered data plans, we still wish there were more options, you’re probably not going to like the change that the carrier will be bringing about this Sunday.

Since CES 2012, we’ve known that the Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phone would be coming to the United States only it wouldn’t be arriving on any carriers.

Earlier this year, Apple announced that it had sold 15.4 million iPads last quarter. That’s the equivalent to selling 109 iPads a minute.

In a cost-cutting move, Sprint, the nation’s third largest carrier, will, instead of deploying its own network and utilize its spectrum, be turning to other carriers through roaming agreements. By instituting roaming agreements, Sprint’s customers in Oklahoma and Kansas would still be able to have access to voice and mobile broadband data services in those [...]

I am excited for the potential success of Microsoft’s newest offering, Windows Phone as well. I don’t currently use a Windows Phone device as a daily driver, but I am ready to as soon as Nokia brings a Windows Phone to Verizon.
