Pros: qwerty keyboard. takes great pictures for having such a low mp camera. full qwerty is rad. super fast os. lots of free, useful apps available. small in size. touch screen.

Cons: os, while super fast, is rather dated. keyboard backlight went out for some reason? still looking into this.

Summary: people like to complain about the size of the buttons and the screen, but i mean come on, didn't you guys check out the phone before you bought it? if so, you knew what you were getting, if not, well you should have.
the battery life has been pretty good for me, as good as or better than any other cell phone i've ever had. it can easily make a couple days without charging before dying on me.
i don't use many of the actual "smart phone" features, i wanted something cheap with a full qwerty. so far the only real bummer is the keyboard backlight going out.
this phone works great for what i wanted, and has a lot of extra features that i'm loving.

Pros: Sounded good on paper. Has lots of features. Custormer service was friendly yet not able to help resolve issues both in US and in Germany. Custormer service was helpful when I sent it back for a refund.

Cons: Would not pick up European SIM card initailly. Inconsistent connection. Very unreliable. Too many issues which could not be overcome.

Summary: Despite being Quad band it was not consistent in service.

Black Friday, Pt. 2 - Best Buy

The Black Friday deals continue, with Best Buy's doorbuster deals. Opening at 5 AM, Best Buy plans to offer the Palm Pre for $79.99 and the LG Chocolate Touch for free out the door. While speculation centers around retail locations stocking five and seven Pre and Chocolate Touch devices resectively, the aforementioned numbers refer to minimum stock, not maximum (see the pictures above). Still, it's worth getting to the store...

T-Mobile offering up deals

In the spirit of Black Friday and the shopping weekend that surrounds it, T-Mobile is heating up the stakes by discounting three popular devices. The nation's fourth largest wireless carrier will offer the Motorola CLIQ and BlackBerry Bold 9700 for $149.99 (both after $50 off), and the Samsung Highlight for $49.99 after $50 off. Of course, all require new two-year agreements. What's more, with the new Even More Plus option,...

An iPhone girl’s thoughts on Droid, pt 3: Major features

iPhone girl on Droid: Features

When it comes to smartphones, a handset’s features can vary a lot depending on the apps you choose to download. Given this, I chose to focus more on the major built-in features of the Droid. (Once again, this review and the previous parts of it were written with the average consumer and his/her usability in mind as the priority.) Phone Calls: I wonder why so many reviews treat the number-one phone feature like an after-thought? So...

An iPhone girl’s thoughts on Droid, pt 2: Design matters

iPhone girl on Droid: Design

Sometimes I’m surprised by the number of people who choose phones based on looks. I shouldn’t be — I used to do the same thing. Actually, I still do, to some extent. If a phone has everything I want and need, but looks like a cellular version of Ugly Betty, I’m probably not going to haul that around for long. But does that make us superficial? Perhaps. Or maybe we’re not so wrong in this after all, since the form...

iPhone girl on Droid: The OS

Thanks to Best Buy Mobile (who has been supplying some of the devices we get to review), I got my hands on the Motorola Droid and have been playing with it for a couple weeks. So what follows are some of my impressions of the phone, strictly from the point of view of a person newly coming into this platform. At times, there may be an iPhone bent because, well, I can’t help but compare this to my own handset. Plus, those...

Before I start, let me just say that I love my phone. Sure, the iPhone’s not perfect, and you may see me kvetch about its closed nature, baffling App Store approvals or hobbled features (tethering, anyone?), but in the end, I still love this handset. Lately though, with all the Android news bursting at the seams, I went beyond the Apple beat and pitched in to help cover it for PhoneDog.Wow, Android was like a strange land. Open source? Non...

Aarons Top Five Smartphones for the Holiday 2009 season

Aaron's Top Five Pt. 1 - 2009

Quite regularly, I'm asked a question considered by many in this world to be relatively straightforward: "what cell phone do you use?" Despite the simplicity of the statement, responding is hard. This week, I carried the Bold and iPhone. Last week, I carried the Bold and Hero. The week before that, I carried the Bold and Storm2. In early October, I carried the Bold and Tour. You get the idea.

BlackBerry Bold 9700 at AT&T

After a week on the nation's fourth largest wireless carrier, the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is able to call AT&T's retail store shelves home. Cosmetically, few things have changed from the T-Mobile version with the exception of a new logo (obviously), different 3G bands, and a different OS build. The BlackBerry Bold 9700 is available to customers for $199.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate and new two-year customer agreement. BlackBerry...

Nokia N900 drops to $480

I'll admit - I was considering the purchase of a Nokia N900 to carry in the ol' arsenal of wireless devices, until I saw the price. Even as a certified wireless junkie, $649 is a bit too much for me (hey, I need to pay the rent first). I haven't been this excited about a Nokia device in quite some time, thanks to Maemo 5. The name of the game seems to be social networking, and from my limited time with the N900 at CTIA, it...
