The best thing about the new device? Its design. The display screen swivels atop the six-ounce unit, revealing a finger-friendly keyboard. A color-changing serrated wheel lets you seamlessly navigate the instant messenger, e-mail and phone service (though the Web browser–which transmits only text–seems a bit crude). The super phone runs $200, and $39.99 a month buys unlimited Net access and 200 voice minutes. Soon other carriers will come out with their own versions–and there’ll be more names to learn....

RELATED: Charles Dance Was Also ‘Disappointed’ by Game of Thrones Season 8 There are a couple of reasons. Firstly, the show was always very dark. A more traditional happy ending would not have fit Game of Thrones. Even a bittersweet ending, like the Lord of the Rings movies, might have been pushing it. However, the show did seem to be heading in a more bittersweet direction, so fans could be forgiven for assuming that’s how Game of Thrones would end....
Right now, not much has been announced for April, but fans know that it’s only a matter of time before Xbox social media accounts reveal the upcoming games.

Let’s begin. Preparing for a Smash-terpiece (By Riley Little) During the latest Nintendo Direct, Nintendo finally gave their fans a much needed update on the Super Smash Bros. games for 3DS and Wii U.

Srikanth put up a slightly better performance as compared to Sindhu and kept it error-free for a large part of his first round match against Lucas Corvee. The former World No. 1 seems to be getting back some of his lost confidence after a dismal start to the season by his lofty standards. Srikanth’s semi-final and quarter-final appearances in Denmark and Paris validate his burgeoning self-belief. He will try to make it to the last-eight stage of yet another Super 750 tournament when he takes on World No....
