by Aaron Kraus on Nov 2, 2009 at 09:28 PM

First, let me congratulate you on a fairly witty pun-based ad campaign. You’re making a point, and with quite a bit of gumption, given the lack of cool smartphones available on your larger-than-life network. Second, I’ll acknowledge our past relationship; nine good years with excellent coverage and several fairly decent… Continue Reading »

by Patrick Lutz on Oct 31, 2009 at 09:15 AM

The iPhone has finally officially launched in China, with one major feature missing: built-in Wi-Fi.
