In this video, we go in-depth which U.S. carrier has the best 4G plan.

4G LTE is without a doubt the fastest 4G network with best coverage but is it right for you?

With 2-3GB 4G LTE plan, you are going to run out of bandwidth very quickly if you watch 2-3 hours of Netflix or 5-6 hours of Pandora. After that, you do have the choice of paying $10 per extra gigabyte or even if you have unlimited, you will most likely be throttled by carriers.

If you get good Sprint coverage where you use your phone often, Sprint still offers the best unlimited data plan while giv

Will You Get Galaxy Nexus vs. Galaxy Note?

Posted on December 19, 2011 by Max Lee
galaxynote-vs-galaxynexus

Before I left to South Korea to visit my parents, I was a bit excited to hear that Galaxy Nexus was being released. Well, after I got to actually play with a Galaxy Note, I have to say that Galaxy Note is a far better device than Galaxy Nexus, as far as hardware and everyday usability goes.

Personally, I wanted a smartphone device capable of doing more. The Galaxy Note does exactly that, provides users with a device between a smartphone and a tablet. While 5.3-inches in size, it still fits in your pocket due to its thinness. Well, I hate to repeat it but in my opinion af

Why Root My Android Phone?

Posted on November 4, 2011 by Max Lee
root

A question I get probably at least 10 times a week is, “Why root my Android phone?”

First of all, what is rooting?

Rooting means you can get “full root access” to your Android operating system, allowing you to do whatever you want, install new ROMs, modify the operating system, and a whole lot more.

Why root does not come with phones?

Well, mostly because carriers (especially U.S. carriers like Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T) want full control over their users, not the other way around. By locking down Android sm

It’s only been nearly a week since I’ve picked up a brand, new AT&T version of Galaxy S2 but I was able to get a lot of things groovin’ such as root, overclocking, and already installed several custom ROMs.  They work flawlessly on the AT&T version so there’s nothing holding you back from getting the best of what open source has to offer.

Here’s some of the best from the latest rootin’ lootin’ for the AT&T Galaxy S2 SGH-i777:

AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint Galaxy S2 4G Speed Test!

Posted on October 22, 2011 by Max Lee
galaxy-s2-4g-speed-test

Some of you may wonder which 4G runs the fastest on the Galaxy S2.  Well, since I’ve got all three Galaxy S2s here, I did a quick test in my backyard.

First of all, Sprint uses WiMax technology for its 4G service, which is theory can do up to 75Mbps download speeds.  In the meanwhile, T-Mobile and AT&T both use HSPA+, which isn’t really 4G but it is faster than 3G.

T-Mobile is theoretically rated up to 42Mbps download speeds while AT&T is rated for up to 21Mbps download speeds.

In reality, these theoretical speeds are proportional.  Sprin

HTC Evo Design 4G with World Phone Coming Soon to Sprint!

After blockbuster releases like HTC Evo 3D and the Evo 3D, HTC announces another Evo series, this one with SIM card support for world roaming, the HTC Evo Design 4G.

Rather than stuff it with more extra features, the Evo Design 4G has been watered down to minimal necessities with 1.2Ghz single-core processor, 1.3 megapixel front-camera, 5 megapixel back-camera, Android 2.3 Gingerbread, 4″ qHD screen, 3G and 4G WiMax.

All of this results in a slimmer, lighter phone and I
