Nokia Lumia
The Nokia Lumia 900 is one of two brand new 4G Windows devices just added to AT&T’s expanding phone line-up. The Nokia Lumia features a beautiful 3.7 inch screen, definitely the most vibrant screen of any Windows phone to date. Plus, with the Carl Zeiss camera taking 8MP photos, you’ll be seeing plenty of great quality pictures.
The relatively new Windows Phone 7 operating system is not familiar to most people but definitely worth a look. (more…)
With the March Madness NCAA Basketball Tournament on its way to televisions across the nation, it’s only right I talk about one of my favorite Android applications. ESPN Scorecenter from ESPN.com is a must have for any sports fanatic out there. I personally attend NBA and NFL games when I can, while also watching as much as I can on TV, but sometimes life gets so busy you just can’t keep track of all the games out there and your favorite teams. This app fixes all of that and more. (more…)
The line between tablets and smartphones has been fuzzy for some time now and the new Galaxy Note from Samsung fully crosses that line. With a 5.3” HD Super AMOLED display and accompanying S Pen, the Galaxy Note is a perfect fit for the aspiring artist, old-school Palm Pilot fanatics, social students, and anyone that simply wants more screen real estate for everyday tasks. If the screen size and quality was not enough to blow you away, the 1.5ghz dual core processor and LTE 4G data speeds will. Not to be outdone by its competitors, Samsung has included an 8mp rear camera that can record video in 1080p HD and a 2mp front-facing camera for great video chat and the ever popular self-shot for all of your Facebook and Twitter followers.
The Samsung Galaxy Note is available now for $299.99 with a new 2 year agreement and compatible data package in both carbon blue and ceramic white colors.
Have you heard the news? AT&T recently launched one of its first two 4G LTE smartphones, the Samsung S Galaxy II Skyrocket. Samsung has outdone itself with this new version of the Galaxy S.
The Samsung Skyrocket features a 4.5-inch AMOLED Plus display that offers amazing real estate for catching up on sports, watching movies, as well as an awesome mobile browsing experience. The Skyrocket also features a dual core 1.5GHz processor that will surely be ready for any number of applications you throw at it. It comes equipped with two cameras: an 8-megapixel with 1080p video capture on the back and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat.
The best part about this phone, however, is the internet speeds that you will be receiving with 4G LTE. (more…)
The playoffs are quickly approaching in fantasy football. It’s now no longer a question of whether you play fantasy sports, but how many teams do you manage. Of course, almost every fantasy football league can be tracked directly on your phone. As this is a cell phone blog, I’m pretty much obligated to mention that. That’s the only way I can sneak in 4 paragraphs of fantasy football talk onto our website. If you’d like to get a fantasy football app on your phone (or get a phone that will allow it), please feel free to stop into one of our many convenient locations.
So where do we start? If you know the difference between an IDP and an RB2, this is in your wheelhouse. (more…)
When it comes to picking out a new phone there are lots of choices. The LG Thrill™ just moved to the front of the line. This is a major milestone for AT&T- the first phone with a glasses-free 3-D display. I am having a hard time putting into words how incredible this looks while navigating on its 4.3 inch screen.
Operating on the AT&T 4G network along with its duel core processor, this phone is faster then a rocket ship. (more…)
What event occurred 45 years ago today on September 8th 1966 at 8:30PM that many (including me) would say played a substantial role in influencing the creation of not just the cellular phones we sell/use today but also personal computers, advances in the medical field, space exploration and technologies, and even inspired those to embark on careers in these fields and several others?
On TV that night a new show aired on NBC for the very first time called Star Trek.
If you have ever seen the original show, think about the communicators they used in comparison to the cellular flip phones we have today. In an interview with Martin Cooper, inventor of the first non-vehicular cell phone, he explained how watching Captain Kirk walk around talking to his ship and crew on his communicator motivated him to create it.
Anyone remember the name of the very first Space Shuttle?
It was named Enterprise after the famous Starship from the show.
Yes, I could on for some time about how Star Trek has impacted our daily lives but I just wanted to share a bit of trivia that related to our field and wish Star Trek a Happy Birthday!
Are you ready for some football?! I certainly can’t speak for everyone, but I know that I sure am. By now I think that everyone on the planet is familiar with the soap opera that has been the tumultuous NFL off-season and the subsequent kiss and make up. Now that the dust has settled, a few questions remain. Where are your favorite players, what new players have your favorite team picked up and why in the heck did the Ravens cut Todd Heap?! All good questions. If you don’t have a few hours a day to sit and watch ESPN (who does?), I have a couple of easy ways for you to stay on top of the all of the action without having to invest a ton of time, because after all, we’re all just too busy to sit and watch television or anything else for a few hours, right?

One of my new favorites in the Android market is the DoubleTwist app with Air Sync. One reason that people hold back from making the switch from iPhone to Android is the fear that they can’t manage and sync their music, videos, and photos like they can in iTunes. Wrong! When you install the DoubleTwist app on both your phone and your PC, it will import all of your media, podcasts, playlists, etc.! The graphic interface of the software is very similar to iTunes, so you don’t feel lost if you’re used to Apple software. The DoubleTwist app is free, but for 4.99 more, you can get the Air Sync plug in which will do all the above…wirelessly with your wifi network. When I start walking up my sidewalk, my phone jumps on the wifi network and starts syncing. That, my friends, is wicked awesome. (more…)
