Android Phone Without Google Voice?  Yes, But What a Deal!  You Get What You Pay for @ Virgin Mobile.

Android Phone Without Google Voice? Yes, But What a Deal! You Get What You Pay for @ Virgin Mobile.

By Zoli Erdos on October 7, 2010

News of Virgin Mobile starting to sell an Android phone is disruptive, to say the least. Not because of the phone – it’s a dinky little Samsung Intercept – but because of the plans.  They are all contract-free, and start at $25.  The basic level only gives you 300 minutes to talk, but it includes […]

By Zoli Erdos on May 13, 2010

iPhone? Android? It’s All Irrelevant when you Can’t Get a Signal

By Zoli Erdos on May 6, 2010

Will iPhone users move to Verizon? – goes the speculation, based on a study published @ Fortune showing AT&T drop calls 3 times as frequently as Verizon.
