Tech turkeys: Apple and Google dominate the year's menu of failures
In the spirit of Festivus here is our full list of the worst technology products and services of the year.
HTC continues to make solidly designed smartphones and the new One SV on Cricket is awesome. I love the orange color and compelling service options from Cricket.
Unfortunately, I don't get the greatest Cricket coverage where I live and work. Even with rather limited coverage, I did see that the One SV did a good job of connecting to the network. I would like to test the LTE coverage, but wasn't in an area currently covered by Cricket. Calls did sound good and when I had a connection, performance on the One SV was solid.
Cricket is launching the HTC One SV with a special offer of double the monthly data full speed allowance. Thus for $50/month you get 2GB of full speed data, $60 gives you 5GB, and $70 gives you 10GB of data. Data is unlimited, but there are limits on when throttling kicks in. In addition to these data plan offerings, you get unlimited Muve Music, unlimited voice, and unlimited messaging. All of this is offered with no long term contract or other unnecessary fees. These prices are pretty attractive with a reasonably priced smartphone and as awareness of these regional carrior options increases I believe we will see more and more people seriously consider them as their primary carrier.
