Samsung Galaxy S III Review (AT&T)

That’s right, it’s another review of the Samsung Galaxy S III.  This time we’ve got the AT&T version. It’s very similar to the Sprint version and shares many software features with the international version, so instead of reiterating everything from those reviews, we’re going to try to cover a few more things that you might not have heard about already and of course we’ll give you a different perspective.  What’s more, AT&T sent us the “pebble blue” version …

Impressive Satisfaction Rates from Lumia 900 Owners

Between April 27, 2012 and May 18, 2012, leading market researchers, Nielsen, surveyed 810 Nokia Lumia owners who had bought the Lumia 900 within 45 days. The results look very positive.
