BROWSING: Worst of the Week

Worst of the Week: When grown men cry

I must confess up front that I love spectrum auctions. LOVE THEM! (Maybe not as much as I love scotch, but they are right up there.)

Worst of the Week: The never-ending circus

Having attempted to steer clear of the Softbank/Sprint Nextel/Dish/Clearwire soap opera for at least a week, I find myself back in the stands at this ongoing circus trying to again

Worst of the Week: Wait, there was a trade show?

This week witnessed the first half of wireless trade association CTIA’s on-going dual-trade show format, with the “spring” event held in Las Vegas. Thankfully, this process of holding both a

Worst of the Week: The sweet smell of desperation

There is nothing like desperation to make someone sweat. And there is nothing like the smell of sweat to tell when someone is desperate. Some may call it sweet, but I prefer to refer

Worst of the Week: This battle will be televised!

I know there is more going on in the wireless space than this battle of billionaires over Sprint Nextel, but I can’t for the life of me get enough of it.

Worst of the Week: A billion laughs

Who knew billionaires were so petty, sensitive and funny? And, more importantly, how awesome is it that billionaires are so petty, sensitive and funny?

Worst of the Week: A happy ending?

Man, a lot has happened in the mobile space over the past 168 hours that I feel as if my head has both exploded and imploded, or basically the same feeling I get when I over-indulge in bacon and eggs.

Worst of the Week: A billion dollars, and no sense

In case you are not aware, Charlie Ergen really, really, really wants to get into the wireless business. I am not just talking about opening up a kiosk at the local mall

Worst of the Week: Prepaid libre!

I don’t need to tell any of you, but dang, if that prepaid space is not getting more exciting by the day. I know carriers have been instigating pricing and marketing wars in the no-contract arena for years now,

Worst of the Week: Buzz kill!

Dang! This week started off so promising, but just as quickly that promise was nipped in the bud by a certain Buzz Killington.

Worst of the Week: The smartphone’s days are numbered

Hello! And welcome to our Friday column, Worst of the Week. There’s a lot of nutty stuff that goes on in this industry, so this column is a chance for us at RCRWireless.com to rant and rave about whatever rubs us the wrong way....

Worst of the Week: Has Samsung finally lost it?

I think it might be time for Samsung to have an intervention. This week, the consumer electronics giant unveiled its latest Galaxy smartphone, which according to my memory is the 39th iteration of that device in the past three weeks.

Worst of the Week: No room for BFFs in wireless

Just a couple of years ago, AT&T and T-Mobile USA could not complement each other enough, what with AT&T dangling $39 billion in front of T-Mobile USA’s management. I am going to just assume that the money part had nothing to do with it and the compliments coming from company executives were honest and heartfelt.

Worst of the Week: The warm comfort of a keyboard

While the wireless world begins its annual migration to the Iberian Peninsula for the Mobile World Congress event, I took a bit of a step back in time and found some unexpected comfort.

Worst of the Week: Watch this!

Now this week we hear that Apple is in fact looking to expand into a market outside its perceived wheelhouse, but instead of cameras, it’s looking at the

Worst of the Week: Camera tricks

For a couple of weeks now I have had a Samsung Galaxy Camera device on my desk eyeballing me with its over-sized lens, a gift from Samsung in order to conduct a product review. Now, traditionally I have

Worst of the Week: ‘Eh’ for effort

Sometimes it’s not even worth getting out of bed in the morning. Unless someone has made breakfast for you, and that breakfast includes bacon, but that’s another story.

Worst of the Week: Apple, dragons and a platypus

Shocking news surfaced this week that Apple had cut component orders for its recently launched iPhone 5, indicating that the company’s flagship

Worst of the Week: Dance off!

I am not currently a Dish Networks subscriber, but after what that company did this week, I may become a satellite convert.

Worst of the Week: So long 2012 … we hardly knew ya!

Wait … 2012 is over? What the what the?!? I was just beginning to get comfortable writing “2012” on all my checks and documents, my plans for the end of the world were just coming together and I was still

Worst of the Week: Come on Clearwire, one more season

All I can hope for is that Clearwire makes the right decision and says no to this offer. Not because it’s not a good offer (heck, offer me $2.1 billion and see what I will do), but because it would put to end what has become one of the most compelling (sad) soap operas (reality shows) going in the wireless space.
