If you own a 4G LTE device from Verizon then you already know all about battery drain. There are many ways to help improve your battery life on a 4G LTE device, but one of your best options, is to simply purchase an extended battery (if your device has one). It was the first thing I purchased alongside my Galaxy Nexus, and one accessory that I recommend to anyone looking for an extended battery life.

T-Mobile seems to be the last to make any sort of announcement regarding future plans and devices. After looking at the press release, I can see why. Not much going on over at T-Mo other than an expanded 4G network, an enhanced Bobsled messaging service, and another Samsung Galaxy variant. But hey, let’s not hang them out to dry, stay tuned for a few of the specifics after the break.
