Another carrier begins Nexus 6 sales with lowest on-contract price yet

Posted on December 8, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

The Nexus 6 has been available for several weeks by this point, but it can still be a pain to track down. Google Play Store sales have suffered from extremely sporadic availability, driving shoppers to the carriers, instead. With AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile all carrying the smartphone, that means plenty of alternative choices, although there’s been the promise of more to come: Verizon and US Cellular. Verizon continues to remain silent on the matter, but today we finally see US Cellular throw its hat in the ring, ...

Posted on June 12, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Over the last few months, ZTE’s kept us interested with devices like its Nubia X6 phablet, or its Open C Firefox OS handset, but we haven’t spent a lot of time talking about regular old Android phone-sized phones – and really, that’s ZTE’s bread-and-butter. Well, today we finally see the arrival of a new one, as the manufacturer shares word of its new Grand S Pro for US Cellular.ZTE may consider its Grand family the company’s line ...

Samsung confirms golden Galaxy S5 US availability

Posted on May 21, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

They say karma is all about cosmic balance, and when it comes to smartphone sales, that may be right on the money. Take colorful phone options: back when the Moto X launched, shoppers in the US had exclusive access to all those pretty Moto Maker configurations, and even after the phone spread abroad, those custom options didn’t make the journey with it. On the flip side, the Galaxy S5 debuted internationally with four color choices, and this time it was the US stuck with only the drab black and white options. A couple ...

The Motorola Moto G is the budget-friendly phone of the moment, despite being more modest than its more powerful sibling, the Moto X, specs-wise.

iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C reaching US Cellular next month

Posted on October 21, 2013 by Jaime Rivera

Apple hasn’t really been doing the best job in having enough iPhone 5S’ to satisfy demand, and on the other hand, they’re overstocked of all the iPhone 5C units that they haven’t been able to sell. While the excessive demand of their higher-end model is normal, this hasn’t stopped the Cupertino kids from expanding the demand of their iPhone internationally, and notice I say demand and not sales, and now it seems that the time has come for other US carriers. As of November 8th you can choose to join the list of people that will have to wait for the iPhone 5S at ...

Motorola talks Moto X availability for additional carriers

Posted on August 23, 2013 by Stephen Schenck

The Moto X is up for sale at AT&T and the Moto Maker is (sort of) active. That’s well and good for the carrier, but what about Sprint, US Cellular, and Verizon? What about T-Mobile and BYOD? What about a developer edition, and sales through the Google Play Store? We may not yet have hard answers to all those questions, but we get a ...

Moto X for Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular to have unlockable bootloaders

Posted on August 6, 2013 by Jaime Rivera

I think we’ve lost count of the amount of times people ask us about any device to support an unlockable bootloader. Being able to do whatever you want with your Android purchase can be such a nightmare without it, and it has become the reason for buying or skipping of devices by many of you. Obviously we have a new Google phone in town, if we could call the Moto X a device that fits this description, and we know what question is on your mind right now. As it turns out, Motorola has confirmed that you can unlock the bootloader of devices on contract for Sprint, T-Mobile and US ...
