Straight Talk BlackBerry 9310 Review

Submitted by Dave Won. on Thu, 02/14/2013

The BlackBerry 9310 is now out on Straight Talk for just $130 outright, which for anyone that has purchased a BlackBerry device on a plan will know is a real bargain. This phone is using the Verizon network for coverage (thanks Mr. Sweeper for the research) and will likely the best built phone since that Nokia E71 came out on Straight Talk.

802.11ac Wireless to Debut in 2013 Macbooks and Other Apple Items.

Submitted by Deidre Richardson on Thu, 02/14/2013

Apple intends to bring what is known as “Gigabit WiFi” to its computers (possibly its iPads and iPhones) this year. Gigabit Wi-Fi allows you to receive up to 1.3Gbps, known as “1.3 Gigabits per second” – a speed that would make 2013 computers the fastest ever on American Wi-Fi networks. Currently, American users can receive “megabits per second” speeds on public and private Wi-Fi networks. If 802.11ac comes to Apple products, we will see Internet speeds triple from what they are now. Not only is 802.11ac excellent Wi-Fi because of its speed, but also its network non-interference.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Review

Submitted by Jonathon Bingle on Wed, 02/13/2013

The Galaxy Note 2 is the newest Android phone from Samsung. It features a 5.5 inch screen (1,280x720 pixel resolution) that is bigger than the original Note's 5.3 inch display.  The big screen can make it hard to hold and carry as an everyday device. The size of the phone grows on you quickly to where you don't even notice it anymore, there are still times it's awkward to hold. As with anything in life, if it feels awkward or not, will change from person to person.

Submitted by Dave Won. on Mon, 02/11/2013

Yes again another Android phone coming to Straight Talk this time it is the ZTE Illustra a compact Android phone. The phone reminds me alot of the AT&T LG Thrive in many ways.
