By: Sue Rose on Tuesday, December 12, 2006 From: Willis, TX (United States) Experience: 7 Days
Pros: Phone seems great, looks good, sounds terrificCons: The Bluetooth does not work in my 2006 Lexus - I am so disappointedSummary: The phone is very nice, but i am amazed that the Razor phone technology of the older Razors works in my car, but not the new one.
By: John Bryan on Tuesday, December 12, 2006 From: Helotes, TX (United States) Experience: 3 Years
Pros: Great sound, slim, and easy to use.Cons: Bluetooth signal drops off often. Needs revision.Summary: I love the phone. It's great and has a lot of features that I use on a daily basis. I can't wait to get the next version with the MP3 player.
By: Sean Bain on Saturday, December 09, 2006 From: Ames, Midwest (United States) Experience: 5 Months
Pros: Sleek design, camera, and easy to store.Cons: Buttons are hard to push and the antennae doesn't work very well.Summary: Overall, its a great phone. Nice design and definitely looks nice using it. The reception quality really depends on what service you use. I'm not going to say my service, but it tends to drop calls a lot even though they say they drop the least amount!
By: ricky labonte on Wednesday, November 29, 2006 From: thomaston, CT (United States) Experience: 10 Months
Pros: no problems at all, very powerfulCons: noneSummary: I have had this phone for some time and neever had any problems with it. It is very user friendly. I also like it shape and size.The color doesn't show any finger prints.
By: BYRON BARGER on Tuesday, November 28, 2006 From: AMELIA, OH (United States) Experience: 30 Days
Pros: Great speaker slim siize and easy to carryCons: very thinSummary: In general, I like my RAZR . It has a great speaker unlike phones that I have had in the past. It holds a charge and gets freat reception. The phone however is very fragile and I am afraid it will break. All in all it is a bery good phone.
By: Tim ta on Monday, November 27, 2006 From: lawrenceville, GA (United States) Experience: 1 Years
Pros: The style is excellent, voice quality is the best, ease of useCons: noneSummary: it has cool features and it is can be used worldwide. it has calculator, alarm, video camera, photo camera, and we can store our phone number directly to sim or the phone itself
By: Joanne Moyer on Monday, November 27, 2006 From: Pennsauken, NJ (United States) Experience: 18 Months
Pros: Slim, powerful, fun to use, log battery lifeCons: No video capture, camera low megapixelsSummary: This phone is one of the earliest RAZR phones by Motorola. It is compatible with the GSM network. This phone has never let me down. The quality of the calls are clear, easy to use, small enough to slip in your pocket and not be bulky.
By: Aegina Barnes on Monday, November 27, 2006 From: Forest Hills, NY (United States) Experience: 18 Months
Pros: It's sleek, lightweight, fits anywhere and the camera is useful.Cons: The sound can be terrible, the photos are often grainy, and it can be easily forgotten in clothing or dropped without you noticing. Summary: I like the look and feel of the RAZR, but next time I'll probably go for something a little more substantial -- I'm always worried about this one dropping or being left in a pocket, and the sound quality is not that great. There are fun features, like the photo address book, and having the camera with video is nice, but I want to see what better options are out there.
By: Shahzil Amin on Monday, November 27, 2006 From: carrollton, TX (United States) Experience: 10 Months
Pros: Sleek Design big keypad big screen loud volume bluetooth easy functions holds over 100 text messagesCons: takes a while to load things delicate easily gets water damageSummary: I haven't been much of a fan for motorolas for two reasons: the low capacity to hold text messages and the long time it takes to load pictures, even the thumbnails. This phone has improved quite a bit on that holding over 100 texts and speeding up a bit, but one thing i hate about it is that when i text, i type texts faster than the phone picks up so i find myself finishing a sentence and the phone still typing. Overall this phone looks very good and isn't bad. I wuold recommend it to girls mostly.
By: Tara B. on Monday, November 27, 2006 From: Mount Vernon, IL (United States) Experience: 4 Months
Pros: Easy to use contact lists and easy to download games and ringtones.Cons: Constantly drops calls whenever i'm around computers and the video recording only lasts 15 seconds.Summary: As part of the Razr family, the Motorola Razr V3c for Verizon casts the same slim profile that has made it the most popular cell phone. At 3.9 by 2.1 by 0.6 inches and 3.5 ounces, the V3c is a hair bigger and heavier than the original Razr, but you don't notice the difference at all. In fact, it slips so easily into a pocket that it can be difficult to feel the vibrating ring. I liked the pink coloring. The external display and controls and the location of the camera lens are the same on the first Razr. And here again, there's no camera flash.
Fierce! It's the unique new LG Lotus for Sprint - a square-shaped clamshell with a full QWERTY board inside. GPS, Sprint TV & Music, 2MP Camera, HTML Browser, Mobile IM and Email ... Noah checks out this fashion-forward feature phone.
Hey, look what just came! Thanks, Vanessa ;-) Here are some photos of the black LG Lotus for Sprint. The QWERTY board feels GREAT so far, as those bubbled chiclet-style keys make up for the relatively small size of the layout. Sprint's new One Click UI is sort of cool and helpful and sort of overdone; I'll have to play with it more, but I hope it winds up being handier more often than it gets in the way. And I'm...
It's the ruggedized Samsung a837 "Rugby" for AT&T. It's the Crane of Death in downtown Berkeley, CA. Push to talk technology meets a giant crane. But will Noah have the guts to scale the crane to drop the phone? Find out here!
Heads-up, phone phans! Nokia's planned an announcemnet for next Monday, October 13th - and has a viral campaign to hype things up in the meantime - and Motorola's announcing something new and "Clear" (as per their PR campaign) on Tuesday, October 14th. My bets? I have no idea what Nokia's gonna drop, but I bet MOTO unveils the Kraze smartphone for Verizon Wireless.
Stay tuned for all of the juicy bits as we get them. And...
Out of the box! It's the newest AT&T 3G phone, the pearly white Samsung a637. Low-end means high-tech these days, and this candybar packs 3G, support for XM Radio Mobile & AT&T Music/Video, and a 1.3 MP camera with video capture.
Might this be a peek into our near-term future? I hope so. You're looking at the HTC T8290, a shiny, sleek, badass looking piece of kit from HTC destined for Russia's Yota network.
What's neat about this device, besides its obvious good looks, is that it packs both GSM and WiMax connectivity so you can get your voice and high-speed data on in style. There's a 3.8", 800 x 480 hi-res display for all of that content you'll be...
First off, how cool is it that HTC dropped some significant cell phone news on the blogosphere via Twitter the other day? I'm not saying Twitter itself is/isn't cool, but rather that it's neat to see a tech company innovate when it comes to communicating with the media. Particularly so a tech company that uses the word "Innovation" in their marketing materials.
Second, my post about the possibility of the HTC Touch HD coming to...
An Android Community user - and T-Mobile Store Manager in Florida,
apparently - who goes by kaziko has posted the first user
review of T-Mobile's G1 Android phone. The review - which takes the
form of an ongoing forum thread - is summarized nicely in this post if
you don't care to dive into the 11+ page thread. Of course, if you do
there's text galore to tide you over until those G1s start
shipping on the 22nd.
So what's kaziko...
For the past few weeks I've been considering writing a post about how California's law against driving while holding a cell phone has done pretty much nothing to curb the habit - at least in the Oakland/Berkeley area where I live and work. Yesterday on my bike ride home from the office I figured out why I hadn't penned the post yet. The law has done something, I think. Sure, I still see at least three drivers with cellies in...
While i'm not exactly sure what's going on with some of these code names (Behold? Eternal? Huh?), I am sure of this: Samsung Mobile's bustin' out all over with their Xmas-time lineup of new phones for US carriers. Here's a little summary for you, best as I can cobble it out of truth, rumors, and other stuff that's just across the line from pure fiction:
T919 "Behold" (T-Mobile): This one's all but a lock. TouchWiz UI...
Okay, this is more like a "Paper DogFight" than a real dogfight since, you know, none of these phones are actually available yet. So what? Let's look at 'em on paper and see how they stack up so you can get a jump on arguing with your FaceBook Friends over which of these new phones is the best.Note that I'll include the US carrier for each phone in the competitor run-down. I'm well aware that the Storm is also available in...
This week's Noah's Bark podcast features an interview with Chloe Sladden, VP of Special Project Programming at Current TV. Chloe and I talked about "Hack the Debate," a collaboration between Current and Twitter which allows viewers to post "tweets" - in this case, short commentaries on the debate - some of which are chosen to run in a constant stream on the bottom portion of Current's TV broadcasts of the debates.Last night I watched the...
It's official! Verizon Wireless and BlackBerry have confirmed that the Storm will be available later this fall. The first BlackBerry touchscreen will make an exclusive debut in the U.S. with Verizon next month. Making changes to their OS, the BlackBerry Storm provides consumers with a full QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode and a SureType keyboard when in portrait. Find out more below in the official press release made...
When I first heard that T-mobile was offering a VoIP service, frankly, I wondered what could cause them to do such a thing, and what would motivate a customer to buy it. I've never paid much attention to VoIP because I've gotten so used to being mobile, 100% of the time. I went to my local T-Mobile store to check it out, and saw that they were pushing it as the hot new product.
The service is $10 a month for unlimited calls, to anywhere in...
