Good news for all you folks out there in Maritime Canada who are Rogers customers. Rogers just announced that they are expanding their 4G HSPA+ coverage so the network will include almost a million more Maritimers. The enhancements will result in greater signal strength, increased device selection, and faster internet speeds in Nova Scotia (NS), [...]

4G, one of the most commonly used and mis-understood marketing terms in the mobile industry today. While we could get into the argument of what is “true” 4G, and why the name is being over-used more than Charlie Sheen’s “Winning”, that isn’t really the point of this post. This morning, Telus invited a few of [...]

Editor’s Note: This will be my final contribution for TheCellularGuru.com. I have had the opportunity to work with a number of incredible people in my time here, and I am enriched, humbled and grateful for the opportunity. Thank you for reading, sharing, criticizing and complimenting; it has meant the world to me. See you on [...]

When I dumped my iPhone 4 for a shiny Nexus One, the one regret I had was not having my movies and TV shows to stream from home. Sure, there were methods that could fashion a sling around the problem, but there was no cure for Air Video on Android. Behold, Plex. Previously available for [...]

During Rogers’ earning call this morning, CTO Bob Berner talked about Rogers’ multi-year commitment to building an extensive, Canada-wide LTE (Long Term Evolution) network. LTE is the name of the technology that sits behind the 4G moniker that is becoming more pervasive throughout the developed world. Besides announcing a localized trial in Ottawa/Kanata last October, [...]

This has been long-awaited. When the HTC Desire Z was released late last year by Bell, tons of people wanted to know when Canada would get a taste of its larger, skinnier, more powerful older brother, the Desire HD. At 4.3″, the screen is almost big enough to be considered tablet-sized. The 2nd-gen 1Ghz Snapdragon [...]

The Canadian cellphone market is a strange one. Everyone says there is an oligopoly, where only three companies control the industry, and this is largely true. They say that prices are exorbitantly high and that three-year contracts are indicative of an industry without true regulation. All of these positions have been posited many times before, [...]

The folks over at Engadget managed to get their paws on a Verizon-branded SIM card slated to enable devices to use their upcoming 4G LTE network. Just the thought of finally being able to swap a SIM between multiple devices instead of having to fuss with ESNs just tickles me to death. 4G-enabled devices won’t [...]

Now this is interesting: a Taiwanese site, Apple.pro, has gotten their hands on a white faceplate with the same shape and specs as the previously leaked iPhone HD faceplates that have been so ubiquitous in the last few months. What we don’t know is whether this is real, but it would be a nice change [...]

I happened across an interesting article this morning (en route to my daily Dear Abby fix) on the actual speeds of a 4G network. And by “interesting” I mean I found an article about why your phone is still going to be slow – though slightly less so. Though a 4G network should be 10-20 [...]
