With the Epix app, users can stream thousands of movies from major studios such as Paramount, Lionsgate, and MGM, in addition to a ton of other content. To use the service, you have to have a current TV subscription that includes the service...
In 2014, if you are looking to watch television shows or movies, there are a plethora of different apps and services available to fulfill your need of entertainment consumption. We are going to look at what we currently consider the best TV and movie apps available in the Windows Store for Windows 8/RT devices. We will begin by noting that all of these application will work within the...
Geez, we're wondering if Microsoft was ever going to update that 'Windows Mobile 6.5. upgrade' list on their site, specifically the AT&T Samsung Epix (here for the full review, in case you forgot).Actually, jokes on us as Microsoft hasn't updated that list since March 4th. C'mon guys...seriously? Anyways, the real news here is that the Samsung Epix has finally received a proper...
Looks like the Samsung Epix (see full review), a phone that is now well over a year old, is slated to get its official Windows Mobile 6.5 bump sometime in February, at least according to Microsoft's updated list. (Though all the cool kids have been running it since September) We suppose one convenient aspect of that list is the ability to keep shifting dates around and we have to admit...
It seems like only yesterday that we learned the Samsung Epix was slated for an official update to Windows Mobile 6.5. But if you can't wait, several *ahem* unofficial ROMs are available from XDA Developers, of course.You can choose from builds 23017 and 23037, but do so at your own risk, of course.For those of you who like to walk the straight and narrow, we're now expecting the...
Here's another bit from the monstrous, ongoing AT&T leak. This time it's the Samsung Pivot, a 2.6-inch touchscreen phone with quad-band EDGE and tri-band 3G. WiFi b/g is included, along with Bluetooth 2.1, a 1700mAh battery, AGPS and 3MP camera.While we'll buy the 4 gigabytes of storage memory, 2GB of RAM seems a little suspect. We've been seeing plenty of discrepancies in these...
Remember the Blackjack III/Mirage/Samsung i788/AT&T Epix? The Boy Genius has gone and gotten his hands on one. His first thought? This thing is fat. Not phat, not pfat, FAT. "Probably the thickest phone in their lineup," he says. What else do we get? An actual model name. i907, which a launch sheet originally leaked to BGR called the Mirage and said was is to be released Oct....
Good news for those of you dealing with the "slog dump" error on the Samsung Epix (and good news for those of us looking for another reason to type "slog dump): Another fix is on the way. We say "another" because, well, the first fix didn't do so hot.Sammy help-site CareAce.net has the deets on the new update:Outrage is a choice word for the effects of the FOTA update provided by AT...
Sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease, and that appears to be the case for some Samsung Epix owners. AT&T recently made available a hotfix (you have to call to get it, and then it's pushed to your phone) that fixes the "Slog Dump" problem, which looks like this. That's all fine and good, but apparently people are having major issues with the radio after applying the...
Sometimes it seems like the search for the perfect case for my phone never ends. In some ways that is true, partially because of the variety involved in life. In some situations I want one type of case, and in other situations a different form factor may serve me better. Typically cases fall into one of two categories; either designed for one specific device, or designed to fit a wide...

Got an Epix? Noticed that when the sucker is in standby/powersave mode, no matter what you do in the notifications settings, emails just won't make noise? It's not your fault. No no no, it's not your fault. It's not your fault. Now that you've let that angst out, go on and grab the pdf explaining how to download the hotfix.

Speaking of the AT&T Samsung Epix, we now bring you the manual of the i907, courtesy of CellPhone Signal. The additional details, some of which are pretty standard, plus one biggie at the end: 320x320 touchscreen. 2MP camera. (See more below.) WiFi. GPS. Stereo Bluetooth Customized themes. AT&T Navigator. It does have a stylus. Silent mode: "...
And awaaay we go: go check out the Samsung Epix at AT&T site now. You're looking at an ideal price of $99 after various rebates (mail-in or no) and a Treo Pro-cringing price of $449 without contract. Specs are exactly as we told you last night. One notable thing here: the Epix pretty clearly isn't identical to the non-US Samsung i780. For one thing, it's the same thickness...
One of the Euro-only devices that always seemed nice to us was the Samsung i620 -- basically take a BlackJack but turn it into a vertical slider. We've read a couple downer reviews of the i620, but nothing that couldn't have been fixed on its way to the US were Samsung to deign to give it to us. Well, Samsung and AT&T have bought the form factor to the US in the as the Samsung...
