Watch on YouTubeReview: HTC EVO 3D (Sprint)
Posted by Dan H. on Aug 01, 2011 | 3 Comments
The HTC EVO 3D. It’s the new flagship from Sprint. It’s packing a serious punch, with a dual-core processor, a qHD display with glasses-free 3D, two 5MP cameras capable of 3D capture, and Sense 3.0. We’ve been using one for a solid week or so, and we’re here with the full review!
Hardware
At first glance, you’ll notice that the EVO 3D retains a lot of the styling cues from the original EVO 4G. On the front,...
Review: Nexus S 4G (Sprint)
Posted by Dan H. on Jun 10, 2011 | 6 Comments
When Google launched the Nexus One last year, it was a huge deal, considering it was the first “pure Google experience” device. Unfortunately, the CDMA version of the Nexus One never launched. Along came the Samsung Nexus S, the successor to the Nexus One. It’s the first device to run Android 2.3, Gingerbread, and it’s also a “pure Google experience” device. However, this time around, Google granted Sprint...

Review: HTC Arrive (Sprint)
Posted by Dan H. on Apr 15, 2011 | 8 Comments
When Windows Phone 7 devices were being unleashed into the world late last year, there was a strange lack of CDMA devices. That means that if you were on Verizon or Sprint (in the US, anyway), you weren’t able to get a Windows Phone 7 device. That’s changed now, with the introduction of the HTC Arrive for Sprint. We’ve been using one for the last couple of weeks, so keep reading for our full review!

Sprint announces HTC EVO 3D
Posted by Matt P. on Mar 22, 2011 | 1 Comment
Just a little bit ago at Sprint’s CITA press conference, Sprint let loose the HTC EVO 3D. The device is running Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) on top of a 4.3-inch qHD 960 x 450 pixel 3D display. Alongside the 1.2GHz dual-cre Qualcomm 8660 processor, it has 1GB of RAM, and 4GB of internal storage, but can be expanded up to a 40GB microSD card. On the back side it has dual 5-megapixel cameras for 3D video shooting or...

Review: Sprint Samsung Galaxy Tab
Posted by Dan H. on Dec 20, 2010 | 3 Comments
Samsung made a splash in the technology world with the Galaxy S smartphone — it still remains as one of my favorite Android handsets to date, and it’s one of the few devices to arrive on all the major US carriers, in one form or another.
Enter the Galaxy Tab. It’s the first 7-inch Android tablet to make it to all of the major US carriers, and it’s a burning question whether it’s a real tablet...
Sprint BlackBerry Bold 9650 is ready for sale, a little early.
Posted by Dan H. on May 17, 2010 | 3 Comments
Looks like the Sprint BlackBerry Bold 9650 is online and available for sale right now! The Bold 9650 was slated for release on the 23rd, but Sprint must have been so excited about the 9650 and decided to release it early. In case you don’t remember, the Bold 9650 is very similar to the BlackBerry Tour that launched last year, with a few changes here and there. Wi-Fi is here on the 9650 which is a HUGE improvement...
Samsung Moment Review – Do you have a moment?
Posted by Chris Leckness on Nov 25, 2009 | 30 Comments
Reviewing this phone has been a pleasure. I passed on reviewing the HTC Hero on Sprint because of the absence of a physical keyboard. That and the fact that Marilyn was looking forward to reviewing it too. The Hero was a great phone, but I had my eyes set on this Sprint Android powered phone. The nice looking keyboard lured me in, I admit it.
The Samsung Moment is an Android powered smartphone on the Sprint network that...
Video 1st Look – Samsung Moment on Sprint (Unboxing and Hardware)
Posted by Chris Leckness on Nov 12, 2009 | 2 Comments
Here is an Android phone that didn’t get much press because of all the hype some of the other Android devices are getting. This one is a Plain Jane Android release with no extra UI layer on top of it. After I did the unboxing and hardware tour video (after the break), I spent an hour getting familiar with it and I was pretty impressed. I know I was impressed with the Hero, but I attributed the great experience...
Samsung Intrepid from Sprint – Software Tour
Posted by Chris Leckness on Nov 11, 2009 | 1 Comment
The Droid, Storm 2, and others have made what would have normally been a pretty hot device, literally unnoticed. This phone was released on Sprint last month and kind of flew under the radar. I have given this a whirl for a couple days and see this as a good replacement for the Ace. Really nice piece of hardware and WinMo 6.5 runs pretty quick on it too! Check out my software tour of the phone after the break.

What are the Top US Cell Carriers?
Posted by Chris Leckness on Nov 08, 2009 | 4 Comments
We all know Verizon and AT&T are on top with Sprint and T-Mobile not far behind. Well, actually T-Mobile and Sprint are further behind that I thought really. I am not much on looking into the size or income of the carriers, but I was reading over at Fierce Wireless and this caught my eye.
I thought Celluar South was the largest independent carrier too. Check out how this chart looked for Q1 and Q2 also.

Samsung Intrepid from Sprint – Unboxing and Hardware Tour
Posted by Chris Leckness on Nov 07, 2009 | 3 Comments
Yesterday, I got my hands on Sprint’s 1st Windows Mobile 6.5 device, the Samsung Intrepid. It’s Sprint’s replacement for the Ace and is very similar to AT&T’s Samsung Epix. It was announced a little over a month ago by Samsung and Sprint. It runs Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional, meaning that it’s got a touchscreen. This makes this phone 1up on the Blackjack I and II and really makes the device quite usable....

Palm Pre Ownership costs $1250 less than iPhone 3GS or Droid?
Posted by Chris Leckness on Oct 30, 2009 | 6 Comments
That’s what Billshrink says at least. It’s a generalized comparison assuming that everyone is going to grab unlimited data and voice. This plays into Sprint’s hand no matter what device it is since Sprint’s unlimited voice/date package is unparalleled at this time. So it doesn’t matter what phone you put up against it using those numbers. Of course, if you throw out the unlimited voice, that number shrinks quite...
Sprint adding CNET editors’ ratings on their site

Sprint has just added the option to view not only customer ratings of your device of choice but also CNET’s as well. The CNET editors’ rating is right underneath the customer ratings and is viewed in the same 5-star format. Click on the stars icon and a CNET summary will pop-up right beside the chosen device.

Sprint’s HTC Hero Available Now
Posted by Chris Leckness on Oct 11, 2009 | 2 Comments
Have you been waiting on October 12th for the HTC Hero, the Sprint US CDMA variety? It’s online a day early according to Engadget. It will set you back $179 with contract and $479 without. Not too bad.
Marilyn just posted her review of this phone over the weekend and she loved it…
The HTC Hero is light-weight, has a large screen, and beautiful Sense UI interface. Internet browsing, skimming documents, scheduling...
HTC Hero: A Review
Posted by Marilyn Torres on Oct 09, 2009 | 19 Comments
After a thorough software walkthrough by Chris Leckness, it’s time to see how the HTC Hero fairs on the daily basis. Expect a solid run-through of this handset as I happily set aside my AT&T Tilt for a week, sorry WinMo, in favor of seeing how the Android half lives. I tried the Android Google Voice app on for size, read feeds, streamed media for hours, and put one of HTC’s solid Android offerings through...
Samsung and Sprint Announce the WinMo 6.5 Powered Intrepid
Posted by Chris Leckness on Oct 06, 2009 | 5 Comments
Introducing the Samsung Intrepid. (wonder if Dodge minds) This one is very similar to the Samsung Ace on AT&T. It’s got Windows Mobile 6.5 and has a 2.5” touch screen 320×240 QVGA device. It will be available on Sprint’s network on Oct 11th, 2009 for $150 w/ contract. Sprint sees it as a great addition to their business device portfolio.

HTC Hero Software Walkthrough
Posted by Chris Leckness on Oct 02, 2009 | 2 Comments
I finally got around to doing a short little Sprint HTC Hero walkthrough. I really think this is going to be super hot when it hits Sprint on October 12th. It’s very quick, sleek, and HTC makes Android look even sexier. Unfortunately, I am working on another project, so I’ve decided to let someone else take an even closer look at this hot new phone.
Check out the video after the break…
