    Why no love for LG G3?

    That probably explains it ... that segment is shrinking as more look for less costly upfront alternatives. I often ask myself 'some still buy on contract these days?' Phone prices on flagships remain expensive thanks to carrier subsidies. My guess is for every G3 there are 100 cheaper...

    Why no love for LG G3?

    Simple, price holds it back as with other flagships in the no contract segment. It's a small, limited market catering to enthusiasts, not helped by a growing number of less expensive yet very capable alternatives.

    Going from a S3 to a Nexus5, what will I miss?

    Agree completely, and this from a user who's using both the S3 and N5 (different carriers) right now. The swappable battery, ringtone and general volume loudness, audio clarity, and exchangeable SD card are benefits to the S3. In my book the S3 was one of the great smartphones. It still...

    About to pull the trigger on the T-mobile Galaxy Note 3

    Only downside I see is that it won't support the 700 Mhz A block spectrum T-Mobile states will be aggressively rolled out by year's end. They just got the green light from the FCC.

    Straight Talk increases data to 3 Gb

    Check the disclaimer at the bottom of their web site. Just a 500 mb increase but hey, I'll take it. Some claim ST throttles well before hitting the limits. http://www.straighttalk.com/

    Verizon Earnings - Trouble Ahead?

    BIG drop in year over year Q1 postpaid (contract) subscribers, from 677K to 539K (below AT&T). Churn increased also. Revenues grew anyway, proving: - coverage still trumps price (and always will) - they charge so much they can lose customers and still profit If the trend continues V...
