Yesterday I posted about my discovery that T-mobile coverage in my area actually exists now. I was excited to give them a try so I signed up for their free Test Drive plan on Friday and received an iPhone 5s this afternoon. I get to use the phone for seven days before returning it to a T-mobile

I was complaining to Dave Rees last Friday about my flaky LG G3 and telling him that I was torn between upgrading now to a Samsung Galaxy S6 or waiting to see what the LG G4 might be like. An upcoming vacation had me thinking about upgrading sooner rather than later in order to get

Synchronization Requirements: Device: Windows PC 98, 2000, NT, XP or later I’ve been interested in integrating my main PDA with a mobile phone ever since reviewing the Handspring Treo 180 earlier this year. That device didn’t work out for me due to less than adequate GSM coverage in my area. But, in the short while

REVIEW – I have been using folding large screen smartphones for a couple of years now. I started with the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3, but in folded mode, it was too cramped so I always had to open it to do anything. The Fold 4 was slightly better, but still was not a great experience
