Yesterday I purchased the Motorola Droid. My first smartphone in a long time. At first I had buyers remorse over plunking down $300 ($200 after rebate) for this phone. Then I realized I really need something to keep me connected, and this phone was it. Here is a review on the Droid broken down by [...]

Verizon is set to almost double its termination fee, starting at $350, then decreasing $10 for each month you are in contract. The move comes as the time approaches where Verizon will have to surrender its Alltel ownership in certain areas to AT&T. A higher termination fee means people just can skip away and grab [...]

There has been a fury over this new Motorola Droid which is set to be released by Verizon on November 6th. The Android OS will only get better, and with the news about the new GPS app that Google released for free, I’m ready to wait at the doors of my local Verizon store for [...]

Dear YouTube Uploaders,

Remember back [...]

I stumbled across a new feature on Twitter today. It’s a feature that has been long overdue. A spam button! Now you can go to anybody’s profile page and click ‘Report username for spam’. Hopefully this will finally weed out the growing spam problem on Twitter.
You know, while we’re on the subject of Twitter, I [...]

Motorola was down in the dumps before they introduced the RAZR in 2004. Motorola revolutionized the size of phones with the RAZR which became wildly popular. I remember a friend of mine paying a ton of money for one and showing it off. Up until the iPhone came along, the future seemed to be tilting toward [...]

I can’t wait until an Android phone gets released on Verizon. The Android platform being released to the largest network in the US is huge. Finally something to compete with RIM and Apple. The only thing that would ruin it is if Verizon decides to lock down the phone in some way. They are guilty [...]
