Which Cell Phone Carrier Can You Depend On at CES?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
Each year, thousands of techies descend upon Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show, tweeting, texting, calling, and surfing. So which carrier should CES attendees choose to deliver data when they need it?
According to a November report by RootMetrics and PCMag's own tests, it's Verizon—by a long shot. But T-Mobile also fared surprisingly well, followed closely by AT&T and Sprint.
Carriers polled by PCMag also revealed that they're making aggressive strides to add mobile capacity for CES. AT&T, for example, has temporarily deployed its latest LTE technology within the Las Vegas Convention Center, where most of the convention's booths will be housed, an AT&T spokeswoman said.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones

iPhone 4S owners use twice as much data as those on iPhone 4

iPhone 4S owners go through double the amount of mobile data as people on the iPhone 4, according to network firm Arieso. The obvious place to point the finger is Siri, as Bloomberg has done, with the voice recognition software being the biggest differentiator of the newer device. It was previously reported, however, that Siri didn't eat up all that much data, so we're not so sure. Arieso's research reveals that a tiny one percent of all users are responsible for half of all downloaded data, and we'd expect those people to also be among the earliest adopters of new hardware. Whatever the cause, it seems inevitable that carriers will continue to seek ways to cut down on burgeoning ...

Samsung smartphones pave way to record Q4 results
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsung
Samsung has reported record Q4 2012 profits largely thanks to very strong sales of its smartphone range, which cements its position as the number one mobile manufacturer in the world.
Only this year Samsung surpassed Apple as the biggest provider of smartphones in the world, which is all the more impressive when you consider that Samsung has been in the Mobile arena a very short time. Mobile phones are now the technology company's biggest source of revenue.

Sprint seems to be busy with its announcements today, and the latest comes in the form of an unassuming-looking advert on CNet.

Siri Doubles The Data Use of iPhone Owners
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Maybe you love Siri. Maybe you don't. Either way, you probably want to know that, if you rock an iPhone 4S, you're probably using twice the data of someone with a humble iPhone 4.
Bloomberg reports that the voice recognition software prompts users of the newer phone to use double the data of those stuck with its predecessor.
Admittedly, Siri hasn't been around all that long, so this could be a result of the software's novelty factor. Asking it if it's pro-life, using it to find hookers. You know, the usual. Or, it could be nothing to do with Siri — but there's little else to separate the two phones, so let's roll with the theory.
