The system we have here in the U.S. for our wireless communications is a disappointing mess.  It fails to provide value, consumer choice, and it gets even more depressing as the push for “open networks” gets squashed in the upcoming FCC spectrum auction next year.
With an open network, any carrier can provide service across the [...]

One of the things many mobile users have to get used to is brevity.  SMS/Text Messaging only allows 160 characters, so the messages must be brief.  This is becoming a common theme, even when using a standard computer (laptop/desktop).
One of the things that text messaging can teach us is to be brief when communicating.  In [...]

At least from my perspective, this news at Phone Scoop indicates that Google is *very* serious in the mobile communications market.  Having their own platform spec that fully supports their web properties is a key feature that Microsoft, Palm, Backberry and Apple have not really perfected. 
While I hadn’t thought much about it early on, as a longtime professional [...]

Or so Engadget is reporting. For around $600 on AT&T, you’ll be able to get your own Apple iPhone at the end of the month.  Will it be worth it?  Who knows, but at least it’ll look cool in your hand.

Brian White over at Engadget Mobile tries to stir the pot about T-Mobile closing ports for users with mobile data subscriptions added to their phones. This is nothing new to anyone who has been using T-Mobile data services for any length of time. They have always had some loopholes that needed tightening [...]

I’ve had the worst problem with my T-Mobile MDA dropping calls about 4 minutes into a call. While the exact time of the drop varied (sometimes up to 10 minutes into a call) it was consistent to the point that everyone I talked to knew about when it would happen.
I’ve been searching all over [...]

I’m just going to give out my recommendation as a blanket statement to everyone.  When you start seriously thinking of upgrading to Microsoft’s Windows Vista, simply plan on buying a new computer.
