AT&T To FCC: Phase Out Landline Regulations  | read this item

Sprint Samsung Intrepid Review (First Impressions)  | read this item
Samsung’s first Windows Mobile 6.5 Smartphone (Windows Phone) is here.  This Messenger-class handset’s design will be familiar to those who’ve used previous Samsung smartphones like the Jack, Ace and Epix. Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional comes onboard the Samsung Intrepid, and while it is certainly an improvement over 6.1 in terms of usability and aesthetics, it’s by no means a game changer for Microsoft in the smartphone ..Shop Now
