David sent in this article he found on Engadget. Turns out that the AP tracked down the first device to take advantage of Verizon’s “OPEN” network.
Guess what it is? It’s a simple monitoring device for gas containers to monitor the levels and text message their remaining capacity to a central location to notify them when [...]

With the iPhone 3G coming out AT&T has really been pushing 3G in the US. The thing is that the Bold is scheduled to come right on the heals of the iPhone.
Right now AT&T is claiming the fastest 3G network in the US. They skip over the fact that CDMA networks have much wider 3G [...]

One of our readers, David, let me know about a call he recently had with Aaron Fischman in Verizon’s Northeast Area Executive Relations department. His complaint was directed towards the fact that Verizon has a policy of locking down the GPS on all of their BlackBerry devices. That way customers have to pay $10 a [...]

You know you have a good idea when others start copying you. I was just reading about the Motorola Napoleon Q9 on BoyGenius when I things started sounding familiar. How many Dual CDMA/GSM Verizon worldphones are there?

Wayne @ GearDiary caught wind that the Sprint Airave will be released July 15th. I actually saw a demo of this at the Sprint corporate offices a few months back and it was beautiful. The Airave is essentially a mini cellphone tower that routes all of your calls over the internet. Kind of like UMA [...]

I just read this interesting article on Gigaom. Turns out that Verizon is starting to offer classes on how to use a smartphone. This actually makes sense. Carriers are pushing more and more value added services while some of their users are still figuring out what a text message is. Their first round of classes [...]

“Find & Name that BlackBerry” seems to be the new game in town. We have been guilty of playing quite a few times in the last year. The latest contestant is the knowledgeable Jibi @ BBnews.com.
He managed to confirm that the touchscreen Thunder is now officially the 9500 but that is not really new. Keep in mind [...]

I want to meet the guys who came up with this latest campaign on AT&T’s website. They are trying to advocate online billing for their users with the worst choice of advertisements.
As Reading For Dummies points out this ad campaign is not really funny considering their recent warrant-less wiretapping practices.
Thanks to Reading For Dummies we [...]

Engadget got the word out that T-Mobile is joining their carrier brethren by raising SMS rates to $.20 per message if you don’t have a plan.
This new rates goes into effect on August 29th. Sometimes you can convince your carrier that these rate hikes are a material breach of contract and they will waive your [...]

BoyGenius is reporting that due to heat and battery life issues, the Bold has been pushed off on AT&T. He said that he spoke to two AT&T execs who confirmed the fact that the Bold is still not carrier certified by AT&T.
I just got a bit depressed…
I guess this will remain a tease for now:
