$299 Droid Bionic? No end to the Greed!

September 9th, 2011

Apparently Verizon is not content to make a killing on your tiered data plan…they seem to think that you want to pay an extra $100 for a dual core smartphone as well.

Will the Droid Bionic Make $299 Smartphones the Norm?

All this without any discount to your monthly bill. Ouch!

Look to Sprint to swoop in and rescue you with numerous dual core phones and possibly the iPhone 5 (rumor:)…all on an unlimited data plan that I don’t see changing any time soon.

Sprint Said to Plan Unlimited Data With IPhone

To prepare for the introduction, Sprint has postponed the September debut of a rival smartphone that uses fourth- generation, or 4G, wireless technology, said one person familiar with the situation.

Unboxing the Motorola Triumph — Virgin Mobile [video]

September 9th, 2011

I am glad to see that Virgin Mobile is updating their line of Android devices. There are many people that go with ‘no contract’ phones and I’m happy to see this segment not completely relegated to the ‘cheap seats’.

The Motorola Triumph, a no-contract Android phone that runs on Sprint’s 3G network, under the banner of Virgin Mobile. The Triumph has great features, including a 4.1-inch LCD touch screen, a 5-megapixel rear camera, and a front camera for video chat. Take a look at the video for more features and details about this affordable phone.


Only….$299.99
