Now that I've had my Verizon iPhone 5 for a few months now, I feel it's a good time to address this topic again. My results were based on 3G usage, but that all changes with LTE.

Like most of the Apple faithful I've been completely brainwashed into thinking I need the latest and greatest iOS device when it's released. I've been plotting a way to obtain the iPhone 5 since its release last fall--despite my contract with Verizon not being up for renewal until February.

Virgin Mobile just announced what could be the best deal on an iPhone and service, period.

Count The iPhones With Terry! One… Two… Three?

No matter how much I try to convince myself, not every iPhone is perfect. I learned that lesson twice over recently with my iPhone 4. Since the purchase of my iPhone 4 from Verizon last February, I noticed the volume of the ear piece during calls was low making it difficult to hear callers. Honestly, [...]
