After we gave up the torch of exclusive Sprint coverage… Sprint picked up the coverage with their business blog Things That Make You Go Wireless. It has been more than a month and a half, and there has been no activity on the site. So, what happened?
There are two ways to think of [...]

Every phone. Every carrier. Every week. Coming every week in July to PCS Intel, we’ll give you the status of every phone we’re aware of in the pipeline for every carrier, one carrier each week.

Folks, if you’ve been tuned in for awhile, you know we here at PCS Intel like a good cup of coffee. The best home coffee maker I’ve ever seen is the Senseo. It’s simple, does the job, and tastes great. Well, now it’s free after $50 rebate. And no, this isn’t [...]

We had to roll back to Joomla 1.0.9 from Joomla 1.0.10 yesterday morning. A URL generation error prevented the “friendly URLs” from being created.
Turns out it was Joomla’s fault. A single character was missing from the permissions file. So, in the wee hours of this morning, we re-rolled out Joomla 1.0.10. One [...]

Within 24 hours of the “major security update” to Joomla, we have deployed it on all systems and servers.

Replace Sony Ericsson with Nokia, and T608 with 6165i, and you [...]

In the ever-evolving U.S. wireless landscape, Nokia has consisted in doing something rather pathetic, and it’s time to take them to task on it. As we all know, manufacturers sell devices that don’t always have GSM 850, but do have GSM 1900. This is usually to foreign carriers and users, who want the [...]

PCS Intel was upgraded to Joomla 1.0.9 this morning. With over 175 changes, we’re happy to deploy it ahead of our original timeframe.

Over the next couple of weeks, we will fully complete the Phones Section listings. This will ensure that every GSM, UMTS, and CDMA2000 phone sold or coming soon to the United States will be in our database.
Once that is done, we will move on to adding new features to Phones Section, things that will [...]
