Dis­claimer: This post is writ­ten purely from the per­spec­tive of a self-professed nerd that fol­lows tech­nol­ogy rather closely.   There are just too many smart­phones hit­ting the mar­ket — specif­i­cally Android devices. I know that the cur­rent trend in mobile devices is a move from basic fea­ture phones to smart­phones. I sus­pect that trend is […]

I have come to the real­iza­tion that I am the nerd amongst my set of friends. I shot out a sta­tus update last night on Twit­ter and Face­book ask­ing who else would be watch­ing the big Google/Samsung event. The resound­ing response, to quote my good friend Jeniene, was “**crick­ets.** I had to laugh. Nev­er­the­less, I […]

I don’t know if is the inter­mit­tent bug­gi­ness of my Droid X, or just my inter­est in design, that led me to be much more open to all mobile oper­at­ing sys­tems. I’ve been tak­ing a look at the iPhone more now since it’s avail­able on Ver­i­zon. While no knock on iPhones, gen­er­ally, the UI feels […]

The folks at TmoNews, a great site for news about prod­ucts on T-Mobile, are report­ing  that HTC will likely reveal the HD3, which will serve as a Win­dows Phone 7 upgrade from HD2 (run­ning Win­dows Mobile 6.5), at a press event next Wednes­day in Lon­don.  The expected launch date is Wednes­day, Novem­ber 17th. Reported specs for […]

The Sam­sung Fas­ci­nate will be released tomor­row, but a quick stop by the Ver­i­zon Wire­less site revealed a Buy-One-Get-One-Free (BOGO) offer. Now I am sure that Ama­zon and some other retail­ers will offer steep dis­counts on the Fas­ci­nate for new cus­tomers. (The T-Mobile Vibrant recently was offered for just a penny.) How­ever, if you’re an […]

Rumors have been fly­ing around for a cou­ple of months about a dual-radio device com­ing to Ver­i­zon. If you’re not famil­iar cel­lu­lar fre­quen­cies in the US.  Ver­i­zon and Sprint use a CDMA net­work, and T-Mobile, AT&T, and just about every­where else in the world usesa  GSM net­work. By pro­duc­ing a dual-radio device, the HTC device […]

It seems like an eter­nity, almost two years, since Microsoft talked about launch­ing the next gen­er­a­tion of Win­dows Mobile. Since the first whis­pers, the update has taken a dra­matic turn, includ­ing a rebrand­ing — Win­dows Phone 7. At long last, it appears the launch is draw­ing near.  The offi­cial word is still ambigu­ously just  “fall,” though […]
