Inside AA HQ
Organization has been the name of the game at AA HQ this week. With the summer lull on the way, we’re looking in the mirror and trying to come up with ways to serve you, our loyal readers, in a better, more informative, and more entertaining way.
One initiative we’re taking is putting a bigger focus on the vibrant UK market. We have several team members based in London, and they’re eager to improve our coverage of all things British. Enter ournew UK carrier review seriesfrom Nirave Gondhia and thebest UK phone listsby Rob Triggs. And we’re just getting started: expect more UK coverage in the future.
We want to make it easier for you to get answers to your questions about new Android devices, so going forward, we’ll be having Ask Us Anything posts on our forums and on the website for all devices of interest. We’re piloting the concept with the nubia Z9 –feel free to jump in and ask away.
