T-Mobile is getting the Samsung Galaxy Note August 8th

T-Mobile has already confirmed the Samsung Galaxy Note but now they have released the pricing and release date of it. The T-Mobile flavor of the Samsung Galaxy Note will come out on August 8th for $250 (after a $50 rebate) on a two year contract. This pricing is a little too much for the Note considering the Samsung Galaxy S III can be found for $200 on all of the American carriers, except for T-Mobile. The Galaxy Note still has the same specs as last year's international model. For the high price of the Note, T-Mobile should have refreshed the internals of the phone with probably a Snapdragon S4 processor and a slightly better camera. These refreshed specs might come in the rumored Samsung Galaxy Note 2 that should be announced soon, but the Note 2 can not come to T-Mobile as late as the Note did. If the Note 2 comes as late as the Note, then the lack of refreshed specs and the high price will not be acceptable. Why would a person pay more money for a smartphone that is slower and older? The Note is not that slow, but it is not as cutting edge as it was in late 2011. For most people the Note will satisfy their needs, but it will not fit for power users anymore. If you want the fastest and absolute best handset on T-Mobile, then you are better suited with the Galaxy S III. If you like the stylus features and largeness of the Note more than anything else, then the Note will suit your needs.

A New Leaf

Hello everybody; it's been a while. With school, work, and my extracurricular activities, I haven't had as much time as I would have wanted to spend writing. In the two years since I've last posted, I was vice president, president, and varsity captain for my high school's Academic Decathlon team, went to the California state Academic Decathlon competition twice, was a student commissioner for my city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, a speech coach for Chinese students learning English, earned my Eagle Scout rank, and was accepted into my dream school, the University of California San Diego. With that in mind, I'm also about to graduate high school. I wasn't the speaker that my high school teachers were looking for as graduation speaker, but I thought it would be remiss if I did not say anything. My original speech would seem a bit out of context as an article, so this is a slightly abridged version. "Throughout my high school career, this...

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib...

Hands-on with the Nokia Lumia 1020.

Smartphone cameras have drastically changed in the past few years. Most smartphone cameras have improved so much that most people use their smartphone as their main camera. Some companies have decided to make  cameras with fewer megapixels and better sensors , while most smartphone manufactures have improved their cameras by adding more megapixels. Nokia is one of these people and they have proven it even more with their latest smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 1020. Look and Feel Nokia's Lumia line of handsets has some of the most unique hardware on the market. If you see something that looks like a Nokia phone on the street, there is a pretty good chance that it is a Nokia. Nokia pioneered the unibody polycarbonate design, and is pretty close to perfecting it. Their Lumia line is full of beautiful, colorful, and unique polycarbonate bodies. The Lumia 1020 does not stray too far away from its siblings. The 1020 comes in three gorgeous colors; matte white, black, and yellow. We ...
