Would you use Google’s MVNO Service if it Were Ad-Supported?
As I watching one of my favorite podcasts the other day, they began discussing news of Google’s MVNO (aka. Nova) surfacing and it got me thinking about how bad I would want to use Nova (have I told you that I am a Google enthusiast and that they could never do wrong by me?).
The guys in the podcast were throwing around ideas about how Google would run Nova: whether they would try to have unlimited data plans like Sprint or if they would use limited data plans but exclude certain services (such as Play Services) from counting towards your data allotment.
Now I’m assuming, and hoping, that Google will likely make their service as competitive as T-Mobile is trying to do with their UnCarrier movement, but it got me thinking, and as funny as it may sound, I came to the conclusion that if Google were to offer me unlimited data via there MVNO, there’s nothing I wouldn’t sacrifice (even if it meant Google going as far as putting ads on my phone). I mean, give me a SIM card with a Google logo and I’d pretty much sign up for any plan Google decided to offer.
Now I ask you all: What would you go through (phone-wise) to get a reasonably priced, unlimited data plan from Google? Would you deal with slow speeds? Ads? Maybe you don’t need unlimited data and would just rather have data-excluded apps? Sound off in the comments below and let us know!

Urban Armor Gear LG G4 Case Review
June 23, 2015 | Vincent Messina
The Urban Armor Gear series of cases for the LG G4 aim to protect and serve your mobile device in a virtual blanket of, well, urban armor. Designed from a patented lightweight composite consisting of a hard outer shell and a soft impact resistant core, this dual layer defense not only meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6), but looks good doing it. Now, before I go into more detail, let it be know that I have always been more of an au naturel device kind of guy, but after a bit of time with the Ash colored LG G4 Urban Armor Case, I can tell you that this case won’t be coming off any time soon.
Device Review: Droid Turbo, This is the Droid You’re Looking For
January 31, 2015 | Keyan X
The DROID brand deserves the majority of credit for the amount of early success that the Android operating system had in 2009 and 2010. From the original Motorola DROID to the original DROID Incredible, this was the brand of phones that people flocked to if they wanted a phone outside of the iPhone, not just because of a great marketing campaign, but because these were top of the line phones. Ask most of the readers on this site which phone got them started on Android, and you shouldn’t be surprised to hear them say, “The OG DROID.” It’s an iconic phone that helped launch Android to the top.
