"Honey I Shrunk The HTC One" - Coming Soon...

AT&T TO RELEASE HTC ONE MINI THIS MONTH

Another smartphone that I'll be really excited to test out is the HTC One Mini via AT&T Wireless. I'm actually excited about getting a test drive with this device, especially since I've had the opportunity to give the HTC One a try.

The HTC One Mini is coming out on August 23rd for AT&T, and it comes with a fantastic price. You can get one of these in your front pocket for $99 with a 2-year contract. That's a great option for those who don't want a jumbo-sized display, plus a smartphone that has enough power to fuction on a high level for a decent price.

The HTC One Mini steps down the screen size to a manageable 4.3" diagonal, with a 720p Super LCD 2 display. That's decent enough that the majority of people will be fully satisfied with its graphics capability.

On the inside, you'll get a 1.4GHz Snapdragon processor with 1Gb of RAM, plus the same front-facing BoomSound speakers that many consumers love with HTC devices. Add to that the HTC Ultrapixel camera, Anroid 4.2.2 Jellybean operating system, and the HTC Sense 5 overlay.

I think this smartphone will be a hit for the 4.3" smartphone niche, and those who don't need the heavy duty cutting-edge processing power. This would be perfect for general functionality and running the most common apps available in the Google Play Store.

I'll be anxiously awaiting the green light from AT&T St. Louis on this device, and the Samsung Galaxy Ultra in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for a detailed review!

Samsung Galaxy Mega Coming To AT&T

MEGA-SIZE SMARTPHONE TEST IS COMING SOON!

The Samsung Mega with its whopping 6.3" display will be coming to my mailbox soon for a full review. I'm super excited about it, and I'm going to spend some quality time running it through the mill.

This is a new concept of giganticizing a smartphone to fill the phablet niche. I think it has definite use, for those that want to perform functions like a tablet can only provide.

It's looking like this will be a budget jumbo smartphone, coming in at a surprising price of only $149 on a 2-year contract via AT&T. But the specs on the phone definitely don't scream "cheap" by any means. Plus it is said to include a lot of the gadgety features of the Galaxy S4, like multi tasking, motion gestures, and more.

I think if your focus is on having a large display and tablet functionality, this might be a hit. The device dosen't pack the power of the Samsung Galaxy S4, but I think it will definitely function and perform well for what it is.

It might be a little bit of a stretch using this as a phone, but I'm open to the idea of having a jumbolicious device like this that provides its own 4G LTE service. I just wish it came with an S Pen, but that might jack the price up beyond what they are targeting.

I'll be watching the horizon for the UPS delivery truck, and I'll give a full report when I break it out of the box. If this is something that would piquie your interest, stay tuned! More info is on the way!

Samsung Galaxy S4 2-Month Review (AT&T)

THE REAL REASON THE CZ BLOG HAS BEEN SO SPARSE

I'm sure you're wondering where all the tech updates have been over the past couple of months. Well, I've been busy... playing with my Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone.

Today I'll give you my unrehearsed report of what I think of my Galaxy S4 smartphone, which has been enough of a distraction to keep me from blogging and reviewing other devices.

I'll cover what pops into my mind as it comes, and try to cover the details from the exterior build to the display and then to the performance of this device.

First, I'll tell you what my experience has been on the physical form factor of this device. As you all know, I'm very hard on smartphones. I've broken enough of them over the past 4 years to give you trustworthy report.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 has been reported to be a cheaply build phone that is lightweight and "plasticy" feeling. This is definitely a positive. I've dropped my Galaxy S4 just a few times, definitely not the number of times that I drop-kicked my Galaxy S2. But due to the light weight and plastic body, the phone has not broken.

There is a large percentage of consumers who feel that a smartphone should feel "solid", and carry enough weight to give the impression that it is a "good build". I can honestly disagree with that. Dropping a Galaxy S4 is not nearly as traumatic of an experience as dropping an iPhone, whatever the model. The lighter the weight, the easier it hits the ground.

I did notice that what I thought was a metal ring around the circumference of the phone is a "faux" metal band. It's really just shiny silver plastic made to give the impression that it has something similar to the iPhone. I would have liked to see a real metal ring around this smartphone, but that would add uneccesary weight. So I can live with that.

The face of the phone and the thin back plate are equally light weight and made of some type of plastic, and this is also somewhat of a negative for some consumers. But for the price you pay for a smartphone whether straight-out or on a 2-year contract, this is something you will appreciate when you drop it.

I have experienced some heating issues when talking on the phone or while multitasking, but it doesn't seem to be any worse than most smartphones. With the size of the processor in this device, you can expect that it will generate a fair amount of heat when in heavy use. Maybe this is something that will be improved on all smartphones in the future.

The display is nothing less than spectacular. Everything that Samsung promised with the 5" Super AMOLED HD 1920x1080 display was delivered in full. Watching video content on this device is unparalleled. I can sit and watch movies, HD YouTube videos, and more without feeling the need to sit and stare at my LCD television. I have no real need to upgrade my television when I can watch quality video wherever I happen to be.

The audio quality of the speaker on the Galaxy S4 gets a passing score, even though the HTC One (and even the One X) have far superior audio performance. But I didn't buy my smartphone to use as a boombox. I don't find myself in many situations where I would prefer using the external speaker over a pair of quality headphones, or the stock ear plugs that came with the device.

The camera is giving me everything I need for taking pictures with my smartphone. I don't expect it to replace a consumer grade digital camera. The 13mp rear camera captures decent still photos, and I have yet to even play with the special effects. The Burst mode feature is fantastic, and gives you a chance to capture the perfect picture without spending a ton of time framing an active scene.

Video quality of the camera is good enough to upload content to YouTube, and this is something that I do use quite frequently to capture and create videos for marketing purposes. Uploading video content via AT&T's 4G LTE network makes YouTube production a snap.

Internally, you've got plenty of muscle with the 1.8GHz processor coupled with 2Gb of RAM. That means multitasking will not considerably drag down the phone's performance when running several apps. You have somewhat of a multitasking capabiltiy with the split screen feature, but you do only have a limited number of apps that can run via split screen.

All of the gadgety fuctions that are jam-packed into the phone give you the ability to customize your experience. I find myself using the hands-free scrolling feature a lot, but I'd love to see this work on all applications, not just the stock Android browser.

I will tell you that the Eye Scroll feature is somewhat useless. It is quirky, and more trouble than what it is worth. I can live without it. But I'd rather have a pile of useless and useful features than none at all. Once you turn off the features that you don't really need, you can settle for the ones that make operation of the phone more fun and convenient.

My only problem is the amount of time that it is taking me to discover all of the hidden features that are built into the phone. But each time that I discover a new hidden feature, it only raises my enjoyment experience.

I tend to use my Galaxy S4 for a lot of busines-related functions, including using a Square Card and Paypal's credit card reader. This turns my smartphone into a mobile credit card terminal. I can perform point-of-sale funcitons on the go, accepting payments on many items that I sell with my businesses.

Looking on the inside, I have no complaints. The powerful processor and 2Gb of RAM is plenty enough to push as many as applications that I want to run at a time. And I love the flexibility of being able to pop off the back and toss in a spare battery that is always fully charged.

All in all, I'm very pleased with my Galaxy S4. Surprisingly, I'm not missing the S Pen that I so hoped this device would have. For now, I'm happy using a rubber-tipped after market stylus. But I will be watching the horizon for the Galaxy Note III and contemplating a switch at that point.

That's all for now, until I dicover more with this amazing smartphone!

JD Power Confirms Why I'm Happy With My Wireless Provider

AT&T RANKS HIGHEST IN CUSTOMER CARE BY JD POWER

Well it looks like I'm not the only one who thinks that AT&T service is the best. I've been a customer on-and-off for the past 25 years or so, through all of the mergers and breakups. And I've been a recent customer since 2007. And I've been completely satisfied ever since.

On August 1st, J.D. Power released a study stating that customers ranked AT&T as #1 in customer service. That covers retail sales stores, online services, and online call centers. The results of the study were based on 18,000 participants.

Of all the communications giants, I have had the absolute best service from AT&T. Considering their size, they don't really have to make the effort to treat their customers like human beings. But they do. I have yet to have one negative experience in six years, since switching my cellular service provider.

I was used to horrendously horrible service calls, mixed up billing, and wasting numerous hours to get things straight when something went wrong. My worst experience was spending 6 months to correct a faulty bill that had over $1,300 in incorrect charges.

Each time I would make a call, I would get referred to a manager. Somehow, the records of previous conversations would "disappear", and I would have to spend 30 minutes (or more) re-explaining the situation, and showing proof on my wireless bills. I was even met with irate customer service representatives at times. It was a nightmare.

Another large internet supplier that I have dealt with over the years gave me a similar frustrating experience, but in a different way. There was a major communication problem between the provider and the contracted field techs that carried out the service calls.

On numerous occasions, service techs would arrive at my house and wonder why I was being information that was contrary to what they were told. And service calls would take as long as 3 weeks to be taken care of after the point of the initial call for help.

Not the case with AT&T. At any time that I have had challenges, I have been greeted with the best customer service possible. And the reps not only take great notes that are posted to my account to help the next rep understand the issue at hand, but they even follow up a couple of days later to make sure the issue was resolved to my complete satisfaction.

Keep up the good work AT&T, and I'll be glad to spend my hard-earned money on you for years to come.

How To Make Money With A Blog - My Secret Source!

HOW TO MONETIZE YOUR BLOG THE EASY WAY

One of the biggest struggles people have who are active bloggers is finding the best way to monetize the traffic that it generates.

If you have an active blog and you just haven't found the best way to generate money from your work, I'm about to reveal the best source that I've found to date that pays out the largest margins for affiliate orders... and it's super easy to implement. Read this carefully, and take action!

People often ask me, "how can I make money with my blog site?" I've gotten so many inquiries about this recently that it is necessary for me to write this article to explain the details in full.

I've been blogging for over 5 years, and I've tried several methods. I had great success with Amazon for a period of time, making as much as $500 per month. But the percentage paid for referral traffic is low, from 4% to 7%. But my new source is even easier to use, and pays much better.

The source I am using pays a considerable amount of money when people click through and purchase the specials listed on my rotating banner, and the best part about this company is the fact that they give extreme discounts on brand-name merchandise that is in high demand.

The company that I now use in place of Amazon.com is called Moolala. Visitors to your blog site receive anywhere from 50% to 90% off the price of merchandise offered in stores and online, and they can only get these deals through this referral source.

The deals listed on the Moolala website are normally time-sensitive, ranging from 1 day to a week or more. This gives visitors a sense of urgency to purchase. Once the deals are gone, the deep discount disappears. It is very similar in nature to Groupon, but you get paid well to refer the participants.

For example, there was a recent deal on a smartphone/iPod external charging pack that retails for $40. It was offered for $8 on Moolala, and the referring affiliates were paid $3 for every purchase they brought. That's an unheard of 37.5% comission paid on the already deeply discounted purchase price. That's unheard of in the world of affiliate marketing.

There's an added bonus to the Moolala discount service. You can build your own affiliate matrix and earn income up to 4 levels of depth for others who take advantage of the affiliate program. This could turn into serious income for your blog site.

There are affiliates earning several hundred to several thousand dollars per month using this monetization source. That is significant. The most important thing you can do when you build a blog site that is generating traffic is to connect it with the most profitable source for converting that traffic into money.

Moolala is fairly new, and it is growing. The tools they provide are being enhanced to help you earn money. All you need to do is copy and paste HTML code to add banners to your blog site, and you are done. Plus they offer excellent support to help you with the technical aspects of adding banners to your site.

My best advice to those who want to earn money blogging is to focus on putting out quality content on the topics within your niche and build your readership. This way, you don't come accross as a "spammy" site attempting to take advantage of visitors.

If you create the best content and focus on building your audience, people will passively click on the banners provided by Moolala on their own accord. That's the easiest and least aggressive way to turn your efforts into recurring income.

Click on the banner below and you will be forwarded to the Moolala site where you can watch an introductory video that will give you all the details. I invite you to join my matrix now, and start earning with Moolala. I'm confident that it will be as good for you as it has been for me!

Samsung Galaxy S4 Ear Speaker Failure Issue

SOLVED: GALAXY S4 DEAD EAR SPEAKER IS HARDWARE ISSUE

I'm the proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone via AT&T. I bought the phone on my upgrade in mid May of 2013. About two months in, I noticed that the ear speaker quit working all of the sudden.

During a phone call, I was talking to a friend, but was not hearing anything back. At first, I blamed it on his phone. He kept calling me back after I would tell him to check his phone, but I realized it was on my end after receiving a different call with no sound.

My first thought was that the phone must have been tricked into thinking that the headphones were still connected. I was using the original Samsung earplug headphones with the speaker, and a very nice pair of Sony over-the-ear speakers for listening to music.

But when removing the headphones, I was still getting the notification on the screen that the headphones were in fact unplugged from the device. That eliminated my theory that something was stck in the headphone jack making the device think it was still plugged in, thus turning off the ear speaker.

I did a lot of research online and didn't find much. I only found one instance of a user with the same problem. He was told to try a hard reset to hopefully fix the issue, but that did not work.

I contacted AT&T and Samsung and reported the problem, and was told by both that they had not heard of such an issue from any other users. That pretty much told me that this must have been a random device failure.

I had not ever dropped the phone, and had used it gently over the past two months. I was afraid that the hard reset wouldn't solve the problem, which it didn't. If you experience this problem, it's definitely a hardware failure issue and not something that can be solved by resetting the operating system.

Sadly, I was going to have to order a warranty replacement and have another Galaxy S4 shipped to me. I dreaded the amount of time it would take to complete the process and receive my replacement phone, but I called in on a Monday to at least get it started early in the week.

To my surprise, I got a notification that the replacement device order was processed by the afternoon, and had actually shipped out. The new Galaxy S4 replacement phone was shipped via FedEx and sitting on my doorstep sometime during the day on Wednesday.

I was very pleased with the rapid turnaround time, and was back in business. The customer service given by AT&T and Samsung were both top notch. The AT&T representatives "felt my pain" and were very sympathetic, and that always helps!

Hats off to AT&T and Samsung for making the most out of this situation and taking care of the problem!

Big Announcement Is Out! "AT&T Next" Program Unveiled Today

AT&T NEWS - UPGRADE DEVICES YEARLY & FOREGO CONTRACTS WITH "NEXT"

This is what we have been waiting for! Significant, exciting news from AT&T! I believe I predicted this to a certain degree of accuracy, but it appears that AT&T has gone beyond my prediction with its new "AT&T Next" offering.

Instead of being stuck with your contracted device for 2 years and dealing with outdated technology, you are now able to upgrade after only one year with this new program. The company basically finances the full cost of the device, speading out payments over a 20 month period.

But here's the kicker - there's no down payment, no activation fee, no upgrade fees, and no financing fees. Plus you can upgrade again within one year, even if you don't have the device paid off.

I consider this very significant news, and it was well worth the wait. Why? Because I have said for a long time that technological advancement has now outpaced the length of carrier contracts. 2-year contracts for devices can leave you in a pickle.

Here's how...

Let's say you buy a Samsung Galaxy S2 a few months after it has been released. You do fine with the device during the first year, because it's still close to being cutting edge for its harware specs. But after your first year, the Android updates start outpacing your device's ability to perform.

Then the dreaded event happens: a monstrous update comes out that practically drags your device's performance down to a grinding halt. That's what happened to me when Android 4.0.3 was installed on to my Samsung Galaxy S2.

I called Samsung Support, and they kindly told me that my device was so old that I couldn't expect it to keep up with the current operating system. They kindly told me that I should think about upgrading to a Galaxy S3, or get first in line for the S4 (it was not out at the time).

It was at that very point that I knew things would have to change in the mobile market. No longer did standard contract time periods coincide with the pace of technology. So today, AT&T addresses this issue and comes out with the perfect plan to solve the conundrum of advancing technology and 2-year contracts.

I couldn't be more excited. I'll most definitely be one to take advantage of the program and update on a yearly basis. For someone who leans on their smartphone or tablet as much as I do, this is the best way to go. It allows you to take full advantage of advancement in operating system environments, and stay efficient with device performance.

So I say "HATS OFF" to AT&T! Thank you for the exciting news, and living up to the hype!

More Details On Nokia Lumia 1020 Mega Camera Smartphone

NEW NOKIA LUMIA 1020 SPORTING IMPRESSIVE SPECS

New details on the Nokia Lumia 1020 are coming out, and it looks like there's more to this smartphone than the itty bitty 41Mp camera. It goes without saying that the Lumia 1020 smokes everything on the Android market with that monstrosity of a camera, though.

There are some fancy things that this camera is capable of. For the "regular person" who doesn't engage in all that high-flying tech talk, they might think that a 41Mp camera would eat up all the memory on the device. But that's not exactly the case.

The way this thing works is simple. It basically takes a 5Mp picture with 7 pixels crammed into each regular pixel, thus making it into a full-res image. They call it "oversampling", and that just means the camera jams a pile of additional pixels into each normal pixel. The reult? You end up with high res pictures that don't take up a whopping chunk of your smartphone's memory.

But it doesn't stop there. They've raised the bar in video recording too. Here's what they did...

The Nokia geniuses had somewhat of a major breakthrough with the smartphone's camera lens, giving it the best image stabilization of any phone device on the planet. They included a gyroscope inside the lens, and it floats around on ball bearings. That's pretty incredible. What that means is that you are getting real physical image stabilization.

Regular cameras zoom in to the picture and lop off the four edges, moving around the video window to produce a "fake" image stabilization effect. Not the Lumia 1020. Its lens is actually inside the device moving around, counteracting all of your nervous twitches and shaking hand movements. That's pretty doggone neat.

You end up getting a smartphone with a lens that is capable of performing at the level of quality you get with a consumer grade digital camera. That vaults the Lumia 1020 far and beyond anything you'll get with competing smartphones like the HTC One or the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Nokia and Windows Phone 8 are smacking down the leaders with this incredible device, and it could quite possibly put them into the big leagues with sales. I've already said time and time again that Windows Phone 8 has the capability of taking a big fat chunk out of the market because of its ease of use and fresh, different approach.

Now they are raising the bar on the hardware. These guys are serious, and I'm giving Microsoft and Nokia props for staying in the game with the Lumia 1020. There's nothing like fresh competition to make all of the other manufactures keep innovating. And AT&T will really stand to gain being the first network provider to supply this device.

Stay tuned for more updates! I'll be keeping a close watch for more details.

The Monstrous Nokia Lumia 1020 Is Coming To AT&T

NEW LUMIA COMING PACKING A 41MP CAMERA

Camera buffs and smartphone afficionados might want to take note. There's a monstrous new Nokia Lumia coming this summer via AT&T!

The new Nokia Lumia 1020 packs a hefty 41Mp camera, taking a huge leap ahead of the pack for those that want to combine the quality of a professional digital camera with a smartphone with its ability to also record video in full 1080p HD at 30 frames/second.

It features the new Gorilla Glass 3 display for maximum durability, and is super sensitive to to touch. You can even operate the device with gloves.

I would expect this to be an excellent device, based on my experience testing the previous Nokia Lumia 920. It's a solid phone with a composite body, and the Windows Phone operating system is a competely intuitive system that you can pick up and immediately use without looking at the instructions.

I'll hopefully get my hands on one later this summer to test out and give a full report. I'd love to try this device out for shooting video, and with the super fast frame rate, it might even be useful for shooting production footage.

Stay tuned, we'll have more details soon!

AT&T Hatching Big Announcement On July 16th, 2013

BIG NEWS COMING FROM AT&T ABOUT WIRELESS NETWORK

As you can see from the teaser graphic, AT&T has a secret to reveal to us all on July 16th, 2013. They are telling us to "prepare for what's next in wireless". Sounds like it is possibly signifant, if you ask me.

Whatever this "next-in-wireless" thing may be, the company has guarded the secret quite well. Company employees don't even know what it is. And I've scoured the net for hints, and have come up with nothing.

Some people think it will be an announcement that has to do with package deals or wireless plans. I don't. Family plans and package deals don't really sound like things that can be "the next thing in wireless" to me. I think it will be something entirely different.

I also don't think it will have to do with any singular device. One smartphone or tablet can't possibly represent the "what's next in wireless" phrase. It's got to be more sweeping than that.

Maybe it's an announcement that has to do with the unveiling of a new hardware infrastructure that will surpass the LTE 4G network and run at fiber optic speeds, thus solving the bandwidth crunch crisis. Okay that's probably a stupid guess, but I'm allowed to dream.

Reeling it back in to reality, I think it might have something to do with enhancing the network. That could be accomplished by some "value-added" type of thing. Say, for instance, a brand-new streaming music radio service... or some super smart way to do video calling.

Maybe they will announce their plans to add teleportation to the 4G LTE network service areas. If you've got a fast enough connection, you'll be able to teleport to work and ditch that pesky commuter train or carpool.

The only other somewhat realistic idea could be something to do with hardware upgrades. Maybe they will roll out a new way to keep people's hands on the most current devices, without being required to wait for 24 months. I'd pay extra just do do that.

The one thing I can say with 100% assuredness is that they will announce something on Tuesday of next week... and I'll be sitting with my ear on the radio, impatiently waiting to see what it is!

Do you have a prediction of what the announcement will or will not entail? Share it in the Disqus comments section below!

Central Missouri Network Carriers - What's The Best Call?

HOW THE TOP FIVE CARRIERS RATE IN CENTRAL MISSOURI

People ask me almost every day which carrier they should go through for the Central Missouri area. I live right in the middle of the state, in Jefferson City, the state capital. I'll give you story on what I know about the big 5 carriers, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, US Cellular, and AT&T.

I'll start from who I believe provides the best service in this coverage area, and I'll work my way down the list from that point. I'll share my thoughts on each ranking and try to give as many pros and cons as I can. Let the rankings begin!

#1 - AT&T

I've been a customer of AT&T now for 6 years. I switched from Sprint to AT&T when my employer moved across town to a nice little Sprint dead spot. I had no choice. I was nervous about the switch, but I have no regrets.

In Jefferson City, AT&T has slowly made really good improvements to their network. about two yeras ago, they implemented the HSPA+ upgrade, bringing "4G" speeds that ramped up my download time from roughly 1Mbps on average to about 7Mbps. Now we have true 4th generation LTE coverage, and I've had the best of luck.

Service-wise, I can't say enough about AT&T. I can't name a single instance where I've called and had a sour experience with the service reps. I'm always greeted with the friendliest people, and they always follow up on any problems I might have. Plus they have been very accomodating whenever I have had instances of getting behind on my enormous bill (I have 4 smartphones on my contract!).

I feel comfortable sticking with AT&T, because I don't think the company will be going away any time soon. They're a solid company, and they have a tremendous upside. I will more than likely be sticking with them long-term, and this is the company that I give my first recommendation to when people ask. They combine great service, great coverage, and a huge selection of devices to choose from.

#2 - Verizon Wireless

Verizon beat everyone to the punch with 4G LTE service in Central Missouri, and they also have a solid network and stable company. You cannot really go wrong with Verizon in Jefferson City, as they have a huge footprint throughout the state. The majority of my friends who are with Verizon haven't had many complaints, and they too have a huge variety of devices to choose from.

The only reason I place them 2nd is due to the fact that they are on an older system, the CDMA network. You can't talk on the phone and surf at the same time, a feature that I find tremendously useful when I'm talking and giving information from a website.

Verizon decided to ditch their older 3G infrastructure, and bet the farm on 4G LTE. Conversely, AT&T decided to enhance their 3G service, so you have a better high speed data connection when you go off the LTE footprint. However, due to the size of the Verizon 4G LTE footprint, this shouldn't be a serious issue for their customers.

When AT&T is not someone's #1 pick, I'm very comfortable recommending using Verizon because they provide good customer service, and great coverage.

#3 - US Cellular

This is a close call. I could easily place US Cellular in the #2 position, but the only reason that I don't is because they are a smaller company that does not have nationwide coverage. But that doesn't take away from their excellent customer service, and their top notch connectivity.

US Cellular does have 4G LTE service in the middle of the state, and I haven't heard many comlaints about dead spots. If you prefer a smaller company that is more "local", this is a great choice for you. You won't be disappointed with their customer service and their competitive rates.

US Cellular has a different game plan, because they aren't in the business of conquering the nation with coverage. Conversely, they develop certain market areas, and at times will sell certain regions to one of the big three service providers.

#4 - Sprint

I was a long-time Sprint customer before AT&T, using their service for about ten years. Since my switch to AT&T, the company has taken a downhill slide because of their plan to try to compete with the now obsolete 4G WiMax network. Sprint is in the process of converting to 4G LTE, buying network infrastructure in areas, and renting from Verizon in others.

I'm not as comfortable with the future of the Sprint network in our area, and Sprint has several dead spots in Central Missouri where they don't have wireless towers to serve their customerrs. This can be frustrating. But there are a few advantages to Sprint.

First, they provide the cheapest wireless service that includes unlimited data, voice, and texting. Second, they do have fairly decent customer service. I have had mixed reports on their customer service, however, as some people have had frustrations in dealing with them when problems arise.

Even though the unlimited data is a nice thing to have, it doesn't do you much good when you don't have a 4G (or even 3G) connection. Surfing on the Edge Network (extremely slow 2nd generation technology) is at least 100 times slower than surfing on enhanced 3G HSPA+ or 4G LTE, so the unlimited data doesn't do a bit of good when you're crawling at a snail pace.

Sprint's future as a whole is not solid. They are still supposedly working on the merger with the Japanese-based company Softbank, and that might save the company. It looks like the merger will happen, but I'd rather stick with a known, solid company than wait on Sprint to play "catch up" with Verizon and AT&T.

I can't recommend Sprint in good conscious to anyone here, unless price is the determining factor. If you're not worried about connecting at high speeds in Central Missouri, then you may not be frustrated by the lack of good coverage and high speed access.

#5 - T-Mobile

I had a contract with T-Mobile about 5 years ago for my wife's smartphone. It was the biggest cellular service mistake I've ever made. At the time, they were boasting about having the fastest 4G (HSPA+) network available. But they sort of didn't bother telling us that they didn't even have 3G coverage in Jefferson City.

We had major problems even getting phone service for calling while in our house. They tried to remedy this by adding a WiFi call routing app, where the phone calls would work through your in-home wireless router. But it failed miserably.

I had the worst of luck getting T-Mobile to admit that they didn't have coverage in our area. When I pressed them about this issue, they couldn't even tell me when they would have 3G service in the forseeable future. I was forced to cancel the contract and add a new line from AT&T and ditch my wife's smartphone.

T-Mobile does have excellent service coverage in the big city market areas of St. Louis and Kansas City. Right now, I believe they are still only serving HSPA+ 4G in these areas, but they are actively trying to build a 4G LTE network. There's no telling when this will come to Central Missouri. Therefore, I cannot recommend T-Mobile for our area to anyone.

Conclusion

If you are looking to get your first smartphone, or switching service providers, my strongest recommendation is to check out AT&T. Verizon and US Cellular definitely get a nod if AT&T just isn't your cup of tea, or if you get a better package deal for your particular needs.

But under no circumstances can I give a nod to Sprint or T-Mobile at this time. I don't see them gaining any ground in Central Missouri and competing with AT&T, Verizon, and US Cellular any time in the near future.

What are your thoughts on the rankings here in middle country? What service provider would you recommend, and why? Also, have you had any luck with T-Mobile or Sprint? I'd love to hear about it! Sound off and be heard. Comment below in the Disqus comment section!

HCG Diet Drops - Is This A Legitimate Weight Loss Solution?

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HCG DIET DROPS & RAPID WEIGHT LOSS

The HCG Diet has generated a significant amount of buzz in the news over the past few years. It is touted to be an agressive way help individuals who are overweight to lose body fat in a safe way. Several questions arise in the minds of people seeking to lose significant weight with the help of HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadatropin.

Does it really work? Is it safe? If it does, can you maintain your new weight after completing the diet along with the HCG supplement?

I'll be the frst to tell you that I was highly skeptical of this product when I first caught wind of it on several talk shows. But after seeing several friends and colleagues who reported losing upwards of 50 pounds or more, I decided to investigate HCG a bit further.

There's one fact I could not deny, the use of HCG for significant weight loss is controversial, and there are several strong opinions on both sides of the fence. Some strongly believe that all of its claims are false, but several others, even some healthcare professionals, tout its ability to work effectively.

I've spoken to people who have had the HCG therapy via injection, and also those who have taken it as a liquid via a dropper sublingually (under the tongue). Both groups of HCG consumers have had the same level of success with the product.

I've also spoken to people who have tried HCG therapy who did not have much luck losing weight. Digging a little further, the most common reasons would be failure to curtail social eating, eating out of plain boredom when not hungry, and failing to make an effort at changing the diet and eating right.

All of this motivated me to become my own "human guinea pig", and try the product myself. Even though I had already lost the bulk of my weight (about 55 pounds), I was still 15 pounds over my ideal weight so I had something to work with.

Another motivation that I had was the constant barrage of people asking me what I recommend for losing significant weight, since I had somehow "figured out" the connundrum of getting rid of fat. Being that I am a cardio workout trainer, people often look to me for answers.

I searched near and far for the right product to buy. I almost bought a cheap version of HCG drops from a couple of widely known discount retail superstores. But that idea quickly faded when two colleagues that successfully lost over 50 pounds using HCG told me to be wary of cheap versions, because you "get what you pay for".

I hit the internet and started a deep search. I narrowed down the search to three seemingly reputable sources, and I chose the one that was backed up by a team of homeopathic and naturalpathic doctors. I spoke to them live, asked tons of questions, and made my choice after discovering how extensive their manufacturing facility was.

I tried the homeopathic version of HCG and lost 9 pounds in 10 days. I had been stuck at 181 pounds for over a year, and that was with intense daily physical exercise. I was overjoyed with the success I had using the HCG drops.

The most notable thing about using the HCG drops was the fact that my appetite took a nose dive. This left me with the ability to choose wisely what I would eat each day. I didn't do the silly 500 calorie-per-day diet, but chose to eat around 1500 per day instead... and it worked for me.

This answered my question of whether or not the weightloss was just due to a lower calorie diet, or if it was really the HCG tearing into my fat supply. I could see a visible difference in my body fat, and everyone I know noticed immediately. I did lose fat, but did not lose any muscle mass.

My success with the Homeopathic HCG led me to not only recommend it to friends and family, but to start a business distributing the product for the supplier I had chosen. I got my state business license, applied for a dealer license with the company, and have embarked upon a new business venture.

My advice to people trying to lose weight with HCG drops is a little different. I believe in a daily regimen of at least moderate exercise, plus a sensible diet of 1000 calories or more. For those that cannot exercise at all, my recommendation is to lower daily caloric intake before starting on the product.

Because of strict FDA rules and regulations, I can't make any definitive statements on whether or not Homeopathic HCG diet drops will work for you. But if you are at your wits' end, and are seriously seeking a change in your life, it is something you have to decide to try.

Ask around, do some research, and make your own opinion. Then come back to speak to me about the best homeopathic HCG solution on the market... and I'll back up that statement, leaving you with no doubts.

Stay heathy, and plan for success!

Blackberry Q10 Review - Buttons Are Back!

BLACKBERRY Q10 AT&T SMARTPHONE HITS THE STREETS

Attention Crackberry fans! I have in my hot hands a Blackberry Q10 smartphone complete with old school buttons right on the face, serving up data on the AT&T mobile network. Is this the comeback device for Blackberry?

I'm sure the execs at RIM (Research In Motion) hope that the Q10 pans out to be a contributor in their company's rebound. If the current loyal Blackberry user base gives it a chance, i believe this could be the device to save the ship.

Instead of pull-out or slide-out keyboards, Blackberry has taken this phone back to basics with the trusted traditional click-style keys that so many people came to love. I still know of Blackberry fans who refuse to switch to a touch keyboard smartphone.

But the Q10 has a surprise. Not only do you get the traditional physical keyboard on the face of the smartphone, you also get a complete touch screen with this device. That's delivering the best of both worlds. But will this bring back all of the former fans who grew to love their Blackberries?

I think it can. My first impression of this smartphone right out of the box was very positive. Once you figure out the gestures to manuver around the operating system, this phone is a whip. And there's no frustrating fumbling to deal with like you get with all-touch soft keyboards on current smartphones.

They have preserved the unique operating system environment of the older Blackberry devices, and it's simplicity is something to be appreciated. When my wife (a former Crackberry addict) saw this device, she considered dropping her Samsng Skyrocket to go back to her first love, a physical keyboard.

Hopefully I'll keep this phone out of her sight, so I can avoid switching her out in the middle of her contract period. Believe me, I don't want to pony up the cash to make that happen.

I used to be an avid Palm Treo user, owning a Treo 300, 600, and 650. I was about to buy a 750, but rumors started to swirl about the company's demise. But when the Palm Pre was released, I knew it was time to get off of the dying Palm bandwagon.

The jury is still out on whether or not RIM will make a full recovery. We don't really know the reason why investors dumped massive amounts of shares in the company during the latter part of June, 2013. But I hope the company makes a connection with their once loyal customer base with this new device.

Up until now, I've been avidly texting and writing emails with this device. This is a strongpoint with Blackberry's brand, and always has been. I'll be digging deeper into the operating system this week, and I'll have a full report for you soon.

Stay tuned, Blackberry fans!

Why Samsung Laid An Egg With Galaxy S4 Stock Android Browser

LEAVING OUT THE OBVIOUS - NO TEXT REFLOW ON STOCK GS4 BROWSER

They went for broke on the Galaxy S4 with every useless "feature" you could imagine, but Samsung dropped a big fat egg when they left out the most usable feature that should have been included in the stock Android browser - Text Reflow.

You can wave your hands to scroll, wave side-to-side to page through windows, and even tilt the phone to scroll up and down pages. It makes the browser very convenient, and I love having the ability to use the gesture-based constrols. The engineers at Samsung must have stayed up extra late with a big pot of coffee to make all of this happen.

But what makes me want to grind the teeth out of my head is the fact that the stock Android browser does not come with text reflow. I can download a 3rd-party browser like Opera, or Maxthon, or even Chrome, all of which have text reflow. But when you are using a 3rd party browser, none of the advanced gestures work. They only work on the stock browser.

My question is this... how could Samsung spend so much time coming up with such great browser add ons, but leave out something as simple and functional as text reflow? Why would they ignore this, while HTC has it built in with the stock browser on their flagship product, the HTC One?

I don't have a clue. Doesn't make sense.

This brings my frustration back to the forefront in the same way that it did back in my Apple days. I had an iPhone 3GS and was very jealous of the Android devices on the market that had dynamic text reflow. I had high hopes that Apple would bring text reflow to the iPhone 4, and I was sorely disappointed when they passed up on the opportunity and chose to remain with their heads up their rear ends on the issue.

Samsung has surpassed the stupidity of Apple on snubbing text reflow by releasing the most advanced mobile browser on the market that has everything thrown in it but the kitchen sink... and text reflow. They have officially laid an ostrich egg on this. I hate to say that I am disappointed, but I am.

I love my Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone, and I would not think of trading it for anything. There is a zero percent chance of me going back to iOS, and I'm not really that excited about HTC products. So there's not chance that this issue is a deal breaker for me.

But I sure would appreciate it if Samsung developers took a short coffee break from creating all these useless magical features just long enough to add one simple feature that could make all the difference in the world for people who use their smartphones for heavy reading.

Rant over.

Windows 8.1 Overhaul Coming Soon - "Start" Return?

MICROSOFT LISTENS - THE START BUTTON IS DUE TO RETURN, & MORE WITH 8.1

The masses spoke out, and Microsoft listened! The new version of Windows 8.1 coming this year will give back what everyone misses the most, the Start button. Not only that, we'll be getting even more significant updates.

Right when everyone thought that that Windows 8 would spell the demise of the legendary dominant operating system, the proposed changes may put them back solidly in control. Microsoft’s Jensen Harris and Antoine Leblond presented an update in San Francisco on May 29th that has everyone excited at the BUILD developer’s conference.

We'll have to wait until the end of the year for this monumental rollout, but it will be worth the wait. I've held off on updating my desktop and laptop, but I'll be ready to get on board once Windows 8.1 is officially released.

So to all my fellow geek friends who have told me how much they despise Windows 8 for being such a tremendous left turn off the beaten path of their familiar operating system, there's hope! Let's take a brief look at some of the changes that are significant.

PROPOSED CHANGES AND ADDITIONS COMING WITH WINDOWS 8.1

• The "Start" button will return, allowing Windows to come back to its most familiar basic functionality.
• The customizable lock screen will have a single full-screen image,  becoming what they call “the world’s best cloud-powered photo frame.”
• The start screen will have 2 new sizes allowed, bringing the total to 4 sizes.
• The Start layout will allow installed apps to roam between Windows 8 devices connected to the same Microsoft account (very nice).
• The Metro-style PC Settings section will be expanded to include all the Windows settings that were formerly part of the desktop Control Panel.
• You will get a completely new "Windows Store" design.
• You won't get the huge list of search scopes when you click the Search charm which will rid you of the need to go through all of them one at a time. It will have one search box and a unified results list that has all of your apps, files, settings, and content from the web and Wikipedia apps.
• You'll get a new touch keyboard with improved autosuggest, new gestures, and much easier functionality for putting in your own numbers & symbols without changing the keyboard layout.
• The touch keyboard has an improved autosuggest capability and supports new gestures, making it easier to insert numbers and symbols without having to change the keyboard layout.
• There will be no more manual updating for Windows Store apps. It will be done in the background as normal maintenance.
• Updates for Windows Store apps will be applied automatically as part of Windows 8.1’s background maintenance process. That’s a significant shift from Windows 8, which requires manual updates to the new apps.
• You get new snap "behaviors" for Metro-style apps. You can arrange up to 4 Windows 8 apps side by side, with variable widths. No more being stuck with 320-pixel snap widths. This will be a big help for the new Win8 tablets coming out this summer.
• There will be a pile of new apps coming, and the existing ones will get updated. The XBOX Music app that everyone hates will get an overhaul, and more tools for the Photo app.
• Synchronization between Skydrive and Windows 8.1 is coming, so you'll be able to sync between all of your cloud aps and folders.
• You'll be able to bypass the start screen and go straight to your good ole desktop. Plus, you'll be able to sync the backgrounds between the Start screen and desktop so they look the same.
• File Explorer will get a significant overhaul.

So there you have it! I think this should have happened from the jump, but it's better late than never. In the meantime, I'm sticking with Windows 7 and putting off turning my life upside down. In the words of Sweet Brown, "ain't nobody got time foh dat!"

Hats off to you, Microsoft. You're using your heads now. Change is good, and it's inevitable. But we're gonna need you to just slow it down a bit and work with us change-resistant people. Mkay??? Greeeaaat.

Samsung Galalxy S4 Review - The First Day

24 HOURS WITH THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 OUT OF THE BOX

Okay folks, it hasn't really even been 24 hours yet, but this is my day-1 report of the Samsung Galalxy S IV smartphone from AT&T Wireless. This is not a test. I repeat... this is not a test!

Actually, this is my personal permanent property that I'll persistently play with. My upgrade happened last week, and I put all the chips in on the Galaxy S4 by ordering it through Amazon Wireless online for $168. The phone showed up on my doorstep yesterday.

Unpacking the phone was a blast. The packaging was very stylish, to the level of something Apple would provide. I took the opportunity of video recording the ocasion for my enjoyment and your entertainment. Stay tuned, I'll have the video edited and uploaded to Youtube in a few days.

I had to make a quick run to the local AT&T store to get a new micro SIM card for the device, which was no problem because there was no charge. Apparently the phone was supposed to have a SIM card shipped with it, but it arrived without.

Signing in to my Google account, I was able to set up all of my favorite apps and connect my contacts that are backed up through Gmail. No pain at all, quite convenient and easy. I took out the SD memory card from my Galaxy S2 and replaced it into the S4 and I was off to the races.

One thing I can say after playing with the phone late into the night and during part of the day today is that there are so many features packed into this device there won't be any way I'll be able to discover all of the capabilities in a short period of time. All I can do is figure out how to handle some of the most puplar features.

The look and feel of the phone is what took me most by surprise. With all of the tech bloggers out there dogging this phone to no end saying that it is super lightweight, cheap, and "plasticy", I didn't expect what I actually got.

This phone is lightweight compared to an iPhone or an HTC device. But it does not feel like a flimsy peice of plastic. There is a metal band surrounding the phone now, and it adds a higher quality "build feel". It woudn't have made me a difference, but it was a nice surprise.

The other surprise was the size of the smartphone. The Galaxy S4 really isn't that much bigger than my old Galaxy S2. I thought it was going to be closer to the size of the Galaxy Note 2, but not at all. They've maximized the size of the screen by pushing it to the extreme limits of the bezel. I would not have thought a 5" display smartphone would fit as snugly in my hand as the S4.

Going back to my Galaxy S2, it now feels more like "toy" in my hand with its slightly smaller size, boxier shape, and lighter weight. They've definitely refined this device over two generations, and have come up with quite an elegant design with the S4.

I have a lot to report, so I'll cut this one short and just summarize it this way: I love this phone, and it had me at "hello"!

Best Apps - "Maxthon" Browser for Android

MAXTHON BROWSER FOR ANDROID DOES MUCH MORE THAN MOST

The app that gets the most use from my smartphone on a day-to-day basis would have to be the Maxthon "cloud browser" for Android. It's chock-full of surprises.

It's a tabbed browser that I found in my search for alternatives that would support text reflow, which is something I consider fundamental for mobile browsers. Maxthon has text reflow capability, which makes intensive reading on your smartphone a breeze.

But there are several other surprises that came with this browser that I didn't even know about until using it for several days. One of them is the ability to pull up a shortcut page of all your favorite apps and functions from your home Android screen. You can perform most of the regular tasks that you use right from the app.

Add to that some nice things like "Super Gesture" which allows gesture movements to close tabs, move from one to the other, and restore. You can even create your own custom gestures that will save to your device.

And check out some of these cloud services that they have listed on the Maxthon website:

• Cloud Push: supports sending text, images, websites/links and tabs to Mac, Android and Windows operating systems.
• Cloud Share: Supports sharing text, images, websites/links and files with friends.
• Cloud Download: supports downloading files in various formats and uploading them to 'My Cloud' for backup on any device.
• Cloud Tabs: Lets you pick up where you left off by automatically syncing your tabs to Windows, iOS, or Mac devices.
• Sync Bookmarks/Favorites: Sync Favorites across Windows, Mac and iOS devices.

That's a lot for this awesome little browser! It gets a "two-thumbs-up" for being the best alternative browser I have downloaded to date. Get it in the Google Play store and run it on your mobile device or tablet. You won't be disappointed!

Best Apps - "Google Keep" Is King Of "To Do" Types

BEST APP SERIES - GOOGLE KEEP IS A HIDDEN GEM

Howdy folks! This is the first of my "Best Apps" series where I will showcase some of my favorite apps that help me stay productive, solve problems, or just plain have fun.

Today, we'll talk about something I just discovered a week ago called "Google Keep".

I'm always game for an app that serves as a To Do list type of organizing tool. But none of them can come close to Google Keep.

You can do so many things with this app, and I love the way the interface works. This happens to be my favorite of all organizer apps just because of the way it looks and works.

Instead of a plain to-do checkbox list, you can add elements to this app just like placing sticky notes on the fridge. The elements can be whatever you want: to-do lists, pictures, audio memos, quick notes, and more.

A bonus advantage to this app that I totally love is the ability to pull up your Google Keep account on any computer or device that has an internet connection when you use your Gmail account. That means you are never far away from your notes!

Check out Google Keep on Android and iOS, and the desktop version using any operating system and an internet connection. It rocks! For Android, click the pic to jump to Google Play Store and download the app.

Do you have a favorite app that you'd like me to check out? Tell me all about it in the Disqus comments section. If it is interesting enough, I might even try it out myself!

Stay tuned for more "Best Apps". I have a lot of good ones to share!

HTC One vs HTC One X - The Surprising Winner IMO

ONE OR ONE X? MY PICK FOR HTC'S BEST WILL SURPRISE YOU!

It's about time that someone wrote about the glaring differences between the recently released flagship HTC One and the previously released HTC One X.

I don't quite understand why HTC would develop two devices so similar yet so different. One is CLEARLY the superior overall device, in my opinion.

One of these smartphones I fell in love with immediately. The other one rubbed me the wrong way the minute I took it out of the box.

So which of these two HTC juggernauts is the one that captured my heart? I don't think you would guess right if I didn't tell you...

It was the One X!

As far as technical specificcations, the phones are not very far apart. Of course the HTC One has a bit more under the hood than the One X, because it is the newer phone. But not by much. The only spec that the One soars over the One X with would be screen resolution. But everything else is a close match.

That said, the reason that I love the One X is the form factor. This is a smooth, sleek, thin phone that feels incredible in the palm of your hands. It was most wonderfully crafted, with no hard edges and a screen that flows into the rounded sides like a work of art. It is also fairly light in weight compared to older HTC smartphones.

But the HTC One is a monstrously heavy device with some rather annoying design elements. First of all, it has sharp edges that do not feel comfortable in the hand. Plus it has a rounded back. Try to touch type on this thing while it's sitting on a flat surface, and you will be playing a game of see-saw with the device. Very annoying.

The most frustrating thing about the HTC One for me was the way they designed the power button and the volume buttons to be flush with the edge of the device. You have to visually search for the buttons to activate them. There's no raised dot, or any portrusion that allowsyou to "feel" your way to properly depressing the buttons. Humongous annoyance.

I have no earthly idea what HTC was thinking when they finalized the form factor of the One. I also don't understand what it is with the people who are giving this device rave reviews for its design aesthetics. I guess it's all preference.

But one thing is solidly clear to me... the One X is a fantastic phone that I would gladly purchase with slightly lower specifications over the HTC One, all due to the form factor and design materials.

What is your opinion of these two devices? Do you agree with me on my opinion about the HTC One X? Or do you believe the HTC One is the clear winner with its new design? Sound off in the Disqus comments section!

HTC One Gets One Thing Right... Native Text Reflow

STOCK ANDROID BROWSER WITH HTC ONE GREAT FOR AVID READERS

You read my bipolar initial review of the HTC One (AT&T) where I covered a variety of items. But today's continuing review will only focus on one thing: text reflow

The new flagship HTC device gives us something that I consider significant that you don't get on the iPhone 5 or the Samsung Galaxy S3, and that is the ability to reflow text when zooming in on articles.

The lack of text reflow on the iPhone 4 was the final straw that broke the camel's back, motivating me to make the switch to Android. But after buying my Samgung Galaxy S2, I discovered that not all Android devices come with text reflow in the stock browser.

Personally, I can't figure out why any smartphone manufacturer would not have this feature programmed into their phones. It makes for a maddening, frustrating experience when using your mobile device to read a lot of content on blogs and news sites (which I constantly do) but you have to pan sideways to read sentences that fly off the right side of the screen.

To my surprise, the HTC One does have text reflow built in to the native Android browser. This is a HUGE plus for geeky blog readers like myself who like to zoom in making the text bigger, but reflowing and cascading the text vertically downward thus allowing you to only scroll vertically to read an entire article.

If you are a big fan of HTC hardware AND you are an avid reader who prefers using a smartphone to consume content on the web, the HTC One will get the job done for you with its crisp, brilliant display and text reflow capability.

Special thanks to AT&T St. Louis for the test device!
