Arstechnica: Being an Android user is a tricky thing. We have a plethora of handset options and operating system versions available to us, which is both a strength and a weakness. As trade shows happen and announcements are made, it becomes annoyingly difficult to choose the best handset without the fear that it might be rendered obsolete by carrier negligence or a spontaneous new phone launch.
My Tech Update - It’s been a while since LG got rid of the Optimus range of android smartphones and now it has decided to give some Kitkat love to these older Optimus models.
Engadget - LTE TDD's not much of a thing in the US (other than on Clearwire), but it's widely used across Asia and in countries like Saudi Arabia.
