Here’s my review of the new LG Optimus LTE. The Optimus sports a beautiful 4.5” 1280x720 high definition display along with support for LTE. Other specs include a dual core 1.5Ghz processor, Android 2.3.5, 1GB RAM, 2GB storage, micro SDHC, 1830mAh battery and WiFi direct.

Without a doubt the Optimus best feature is its display. In a word, the display is stunning. I compared the Optimus’ display with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus’ which has identical resolution but is slightly larger (4.65” vs 4.5”). The Optimus sports an IPS LCD display - the same sort of technology used in many high end computer monitors as well as the iPhone 4/4s.

Here's our review of the Case-Mate TANK for the iPhone 4s written by our very own Sabesh.

The Tank case from Case-Mate appears to be a collaboration between Sharkeye and Case-Mate. In fact, Sharkeye's shopping link re-directs to Case-Mate. The Tank looks more refined and improved over the original Sharkeye design, which is a good thing, as the Sharkeye case was one of the best protective cases in the market.

Windows Phone 7 has won the award for Operating System of the Year at the 2011 Know Your Mobile Awards.

Inspired by Metro signage, the Windows Phone User interface provides users with an easily customisable start screen, which is focused on putting people first.

Stepping away from the sea of isolated uninformative icons used by other smartphone OS', Windows Phone integrates the user experience to deliver smarter and easier communications, apps and Internet experiences.

I don't have one to test it myself, but according to crackberry, OS 7.1.0.74 has the mobile hotspot feature enabled.

The first link is already dead. Here's a mirror someone posted. If this doesn't work, just google it and I'm sure you'll find one after a few attempts:

[top]AT&T and Deutsche Telekom Continue to Pursue Sale of DT's U.S. Wireless Assets
[top]Companies Withdraw FCC Applications; AT&T Expects to Recognize $4 Billion Charge; Companies Focus on Gaining DOJ Approval
Dallas, Texas, November 24, 2011ShareThisOn Nov. 22, 2011, the Federal Communications Commission indicated a proposed order was circulating that would designate for hearing the applications of AT&T Inc. and Deutsche Telekom AG For Consent To Assign or Transfer Control of Licenses and Authorizations, WT Docket No. 11-65. On November 23, 2011, AT&T Inc. and Deutsche Telekom AG electronically withdrew without prejudice, as of that date, the pending applications listed in the Public Notice released by the Federal Communications Commission on April 28, 2011 in that proceeding. Associated manual notification of withdrawal filings also are being madAT&T Inc. and Deutsche Telekom AG are continuing to pursue the sale of Deutsche Telekom’s U.S. wireless assets to AT&T and are taking this step to facilitate the consideration of all options at the FCC and to focus their continuing efforts on obtaining antitrust clearance for the transaction from the Department of Justice either through the litigation pending before the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, Case No. 1:11-cv-01560 (ESH) or alternate means. As soon as practical, AT&T Inc. and Deutsche Telekom AG intend to seek the necessary FCC approval.As a result of the FCC’s action, AT&T expects to recognize a pretax accounting charge of $4 billion ($3 billion cash and $1 billion book value of spectrum) in the 4^th quarter of 2011 to reflect the potential break up fees due Deutsche Telekom in the event the transaction does not receive regulatory approval.

Analysts now say AT&T-Mobile deal has less than 50% success chance

Financial analysts are becoming pessimistic that AT&T (NYSE:T) will win approval for its proposed $39 billion acquisition of T-Mobile USA. The analysts argue that to improve the deal's prospects, AT&T will have to make significant concessions ahead of a February trial with the Department of Justice, which is suing to block the deal on antirust grounds.

According to the Financial Times, most analysts now rate the deal's chances as less than 50/50, with some even giving it only a 20 percent chance of approval. Bankers note that for the deal win approval, AT&T might have to sell significant spectrum--likely AWS airwaves--to a smaller player like MetroPCS (NASDAQ:PCS).

Spotify on Monday sent out invites for a Nov. 30 press event that the company said will include details on a "new direction" for the music service.

The invite is sparse on details. "What's Next for Spotify?" it teases.

"In New York on November 30th, we are holding our first press conference to unveil the latest major development from Spotify—and a new direction for the company."
Spotify said CEO and founder Daniel Ek will be in attendance, as will "special guests."

To me, there's no phone that defines a company like the RAZR does for Motorola. To me RAZR represented Motorola’s peak. Everywhere I went people where using their RAZRs.

Here’s the new Motorola XT910 - the RAZR. The one I’m reviewing is on Rogers. It’s a 14.4mbps HSPA device with a dual core 1.2Ghz processor, 1GB RAM, 16GB storage (of which 8GB is available), 8mp camera, 2mp rear facing camera and 802.11n support on both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. It’s running Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread). ...
