TmoNews Reviews The Windows Phone 8X

David Beren — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 21:23:37 +0000

It’s a mixed bag when you are working to review two devices that run the exact same OS at the same exact time. As you saw, my Lumia 810 review was a combination of both the good and not so good. You won’t definitely won’t see much in the way of complaints when it comes to the Windows Phone 8X hardware. I think it’s leaps and bounds better than the Lumia ... [read full article]

TmoNews Reviews The Nokia Lumia 810, How Does It Stack up?

David Beren — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 03:26:13 +0000

Windows Phone 8 is an interesting piece of technology for me as it is a system I want to love, try to love and end up just indifferent about. As I’ve had both the Windows Phone 8X and Lumia 810 hanging around my desk, I’ve come to appreciate both Nokia’s WP8 specific apps and the appearance of the Windows Phone 8X. The problem is I just couldn’t use either as a ... [read full article]

TmoNews Reviews The LG Optimus L9

David Beren — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 19:10:20 +0000

Penning this review just a day after I post the Galaxy Note II review presents an interesting quandary, how do I give the LG Optimus L9 a fair shot while the Note II is still fresh in mind. The truth is that since I reviewed both at the same time, I took a few extra days posting them which I hope you won’t mind. ... [read full article]

TmoNews Reviews The Samsung Galaxy Note II

David Beren — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 22:47:41 +0000

The Galaxy Note II is a hard phone to discuss without first trying to make sense of whether it’s a phone, a tablet or something else entirely. I’ve jokingly called the original Galaxy Note and now the Galaxy Note II a “phablet” and I stand by that term. It’s easy to see that the Galaxy Note II is a vastly different animal than its predecessor. With more power under the hood, the ... [read full article]

TmoNews Reviews The myCharge Peak 6000 Rechargeable Battery Bank

David Beren — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 23:27:53 +0000

I don’t generally do accessory reviews around these parts, but I’m thinking about changing that and I’m starting with something I’ve grown to love over the past few weeks, the myCharge Peak 6000. As a Floridian, power, battery life and more power and battery life are always something I think about when summer rolls around. It’s been six years since we’ve had a major hurricane, but I’ve learned my lesson and even this ... [read full article]

TmoNews Reviews The Meizu MX, Pentaband Unlocked Glory

David Beren — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 20:39:31 +0000

Editors Note: This isn’t a typical review for TmoNews as this isn’t a T-Mobile branded device. However, given T-Mobile’s current refarming project and the notion that we’ll seen be able to use a multitude of unlocked and non-T-Mobile phones on the network, I’m going to step up some reviews of devices that will work on T-Mobile’s network. When it comes to T-Mobile, one of the many things I love about the Magenta network ... [read full article]

TmoNews Takes A Look At The Galaxy Note

David Beren — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 16:00:13 +0000

Writing about the Galaxy Note is a tricky ordeal. It’s not so much the device itself, given that the Note has been around for a while. It feels like we already had an idea what to expect, especially those of you who have long been tracking a T-Mobile launch, you likely already know everything to know about the 5.3″ Samsung phone/tablet/phablet. Identical to its AT&T counterpart, the largest difference (outside of the crazy ... [read full article]

TmoNews Reviews The Samsung Galaxy S III

David Beren — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 19:29:58 +0000

With full disclosure in mind, I’ve had the Galaxy S III in my possession since June 20th, a day before it “launched” on T-Mobile’s network. After some traveling and busy work thanks to keeping tabs on all the Google I/O news, I’m finally reading to put thoughts to paper and bring a comprehensive review of Samsung’s flagship handset. There was plenty of excitement leading up to the Galaxy S III launch, thanks in ... [read full article]

TmoNews Reviews The HTC One S

David Beren — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 17:53:44 +0000

There is little question that HTC has been criticized for releasing too many phones that all seemed to be too much like each other. HTC was putting out the newest and best phone once a month, every month, for as long as we can remember. Arguably, these “superphones” helped launch Android into the stratosphere but, as a company, HTC was doing itself more harm than good. As HTC recognized a change in direction ... [read full article]

HTC Radar 4G, A TmoNews Review

Andrew — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 05:39:37 +0000

It’s review time again, and this time I got my hands on some new hardware. Now, it doesn’t have Android (OH NO!) so it may not be on many of your lists, but it really should be considered. T-Mobile made the mistake of sending me a Radar 4G to play with and I may, just may, keep it (I’m totally kidding T-Mobile, seriously). Read on and see how it stacks up! Software I’ve ...
