As I’m wrapping up our on-the-scene coverage at CTIA, I am happy to report there were no Morons of The Show this year. As you may know, last year we had to give Motorola and LG our Morons of The Show award for refusing to let us take photographs of even announced products. Normally [...]

First, delayed in Houston, then delayed in Phoenix. Then had to suddenly change planes in Phoenix because they decided to ship the plane we were on back to Kansas City.
In short, we’re still not home yet. So, if you’re wondering why Thursday’s Day 3 coverage isn’t going to run until tomorrow, you can [...]

Okay, Deepfish is cool. There, now you know why CTIA Day 2 won’t get posted until tomorrow. We have early meetings tomorrow with Motorola, LG, and others… so, good night and good luck with your Deepfish testing.

Joomla is great software, but sometimes even it gets hit with massive traffic surges. Unfortunately, this happens often during CTIA coverage. If you happen to pull up our recent reviews or CTIA Day One coverage articles, and you find yourself staring at the wrong article, just reload.
What is happening is that the server, rather [...]

First, thank goodness we have Sprint. Hotel WiFi is a joke, we’re lucky to get 10 KB/sec from it. Being able to bypass it for EV-DO is beautiful.
Second, we aren’t sleeping until all the news gets out… and there is a ton of news. If news article count is a reliable indicator of [...]

Quick blog entry, before I run off to prep for the pending jet lag. It’s unfortunate to have to point out that Apple won’t be at CTIA expo this year. I find the wireless industry is snubbing Apple completely… as if they don’t welcome the competition (though, who does). It’s even more [...]

Short blog post this time, we just added preliminary support on the backend for wireless data cards. Yes, that means you’ll be able to get info, download, compare, and research every CDMA2000, GPRS, EDGE, and UMTS wireless data card in the U.S.
Oh, one more thing of note, we’re currently targeting mid-to-late June for the [...]

We’ll be shuffling this over to our Jobs page shortly, but if you are savvy at making MediaWiki skins, please get in touch with us. This of course is a paid position… so make some money showing off those MediaWiki skin talents.

Firefox has been updated to version 2.0.0.3, you can update it by going to Help > Check for Updates… or, if you don’t have Firefox yet, get it from the link below. We suggest all Windows users use Firefox when browsing PhoneNews.com (not to mention any other web site).

But, rather than shamelessly give you [...]

Late yesterday, we began rolling out popunders on select pages. Now, before you get all outraged, these will only be deployed on high-bandwidth pages, where we’re offering big files. We want you to get your big files fast, and this allows us to offer much higher-bandiwdth content without downgrading it (YouTube style) or making [...]
