Many of our Canadian friends were happy to hear that the T-Mobile G2x would be a quad-band phone (which include support for the same spectrum AT&T uses) – something T-Mobile advertised in their formal announcement. The FCC confirmed that this would be the case and T-Mobile’s official specifications list for the device also confirms as [...]

Well isn’t this quite a surprise? (Not.)

The Motorola DROID BIONIC was one of the finer-looking devices at CES this past January so it was disappointing to hear that the device may have been cancelled in favor of a device everyone’s calling the Motorola Targa.

You have to have some sense of pity for Sprint, the soon-to-be sole underdog in the United States wireless industry currently suffering through a behind-the-scenes 4G identity crisis.

Jack Wong treats them like their his babies, Steve Jobs alleges they infringe on the copyrights of his own toys.
