Black Friday, Pt. 2 - Best Buy to offer Pre for $79.99, Chocolate Touch for freeThe 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 Black Friday weekend dealsIn 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 featuresWhen 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. Phone Calls: I wonder why so many reviews treat the number-one phone feature like an after-thought? So I’m going to begin this section with call clarity: Both for inbound and outbound, calls come through nicely, with decent audio, very little to...An iPhone girl’s thoughts on Droid, pt 2: Design mattersSometimes 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...An iPhone girl’s thoughts on Droid, pt 1: The Android OS (in 10 minutes or less)Thanks to Best Buy Mobile (who have 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...An iPhone girl’s thoughts on Droid (Preface)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...HTC offers $100 incentive for new smartphone purchasesAll holiday shopping estimates are pointing to smartphones as the device of choice, and like any manufacturer, HTC wants to get in on the action. The company is offering a $100 check (via mail) to anyone that purchases an eligible HTC smartphone from Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile. Purchase the smartphone. The Tilt, Touch Pro2, Imagio, and Ozone are all eligible handsets. Once purchased, enter the promotional code at the...Aaron's Top Five Smartphones for the 2009 Holiday SeasonQuite 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. It changes... BlackBerry Bold 9700 launches at AT&TAfter 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... Video: BlackBerry Curve 8530 (Verizon) - UnboxingAaron takes a look at the BlackBerry Curve 8530 for Verizon Wireless. Is it a worthy of being a 'Berry in the bunch? We'll find out. This Week in BlackBerry: BBerryDog launches; 3G Pearl 9100 spottedFeatured News: BBerryDog is up and running!After months of planning, logo work, and more, I'm proud to say that BBerryDog, PhoneDog's BlackBerry-themed sister website, has launched! Featuring exclusive BlackBerry content that wouldn't otherwise be posted on PhoneDog, it's your home away from home (well, I sometimes refer to it as a "vacation home" - along with DroidDog). Be sure to make your way around the website, check out the... Kyocera announces Incognito, Torino, and DominoFirst up, the Sanyo SCP-6760 Incognito (pictured above). Featuring a clamshell form factor and a 2.6-inch QVGA touchscreen, the Incognito offers 3G connectivity, Bluetooth, threaded messaging, a 2.0-megapixel camera, and a microSD memory card slot. Sprint has announced their intention to carry the device, beginning on September 30th. Next, the S2300 Torino offers a QWERTY keyboard in a candybar form factor, 1xRTT connectivity, a... Samsung Omnia II launching December 2nd at $200Shown at CTIA Fall last month (check out our video here), we knew the Samsung Omnia II was coming to Verizon at some point, but dates were a bit of a mystery. According to leaked documents obtained by Engadget Mobile, the device will launch in all channels on December 2nd with Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional (thank heavens, since Windows Mobile 6.1 was installed at the convention). Besides that, it will sport the features that were... Video: Palm Pixi (Sprint) - The Quick ReviewPalm Pixi, the video review in five minutes (or so). We'll also do in-depth looks at Pixi's features and hardware, so stay tuned! Nokia N900 drops to $480 on AmazonI'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... Video: Samsung Flight (AT&T) - ReviewNoah reviews the Flight from Samsung and AT&T. Is it a smartphone or a featurephone? Hard to tell, since it has a touchscreen, QWERTY board, 3G connectivity and an HTML browser What up, Droid?Things have gotten so crazy in the word of Android over the last month or two that it can be difficult at times to simply keep up with a single day's news. And while Aaron, Adriana, Noah, and now Sydney have got you covered on the PhoneDog front, we thought a weekly summary of current Android events was in order. Somehow, taking a look back at the rumors, leaks, launches, and reviews of the week has a way of putting things into perspective. And... OS 4.7.1.61 launches for Verizon's BlackBerry Tour 9630Sure, most Tour owners are anxiously awaiting an official OS 5.0 launch, but for now, OS 4.7 is where it's at. As of today, OS 4.7.1.61 is available for Verizon's BlackBerry Tour 9630 through their website and Desktop Manager (PC and Mac). Despite the relatively short amount of time online, reports are already streaming in about the build being faster overall. For those of you with a Verizon-branded Tour, download it and... Casio and Verizon Wireless launch the G'zOne RockAre you a fisherman, hunter, hiker, or climber? If so, the Casio G'zOne (which is actually pronounced "jeez one") Rock is the device for you. Offering EVDO Rev. A, stereo Bluetooth, Push to Talk, 2.0-megapixel camera with video capabilities, microSD card slot (with support for up to a 16 GB card), and touch-sensitive music controls, the G'zOne meets military specifications for water, shock, dust, vibration, humidity, salt fog, solar... First Impressions: BlackBerry Curve 8530 (Verizon Wireless)One day before its retail launch, UPS delivered Verizon Wireless' BlackBerry Curve 8530 to my doorstep. I've been working with it all morning, and as the replacement to the Curve 8330, I'm very pleased with it. It's a needed stepping stone in the BlackBerry line, and I'm excited that it's joining the ranks at Verizon (with Sprint getting it soon). Admittedly, I was a bit upset that I didn't get the "smoky violet" color. Just... Palm Pre drops to $79.99 with new agreement, challenging PixiWhile the Pixi's price point has been dropping and dropping some more, the Pre has remained above the $100 mark. Bucking the trend, Amazon has lowered the Pixi's older brother to $79.99 on a new two-year agreement (not to mention a waived activation fee, saving you $36). With the gap diminishing between the two webOS handsets, I imagine most will opt for the Pre due to the increase in processing power. Sure, there are some... Video: AT&T's loses request for injunction; releases anti-Verizon commercialMagnet board + empty warehouse + Luke Wilson = effective commercial? You be the judge. Earlier today, AT&T's request for an immediate injunction on the Verizon "There's a Map for That" commercials was denied, though the judge referred to the ads as "sneaky." Apparently, most people are so zoned out when they're watching TV that they may not notice that Verizon is targeting AT&T's 3G coverage (or so the judge thinks). One... Not to be forgotten, Nokia E72 hits the shelvesA winner at CTIA earlier in the year the Nokia E72 has officially launched. Though it's still showing as "pre order" status on Amazon's website, the S60-powered device has launched for €350 ($469 at Amazon). Sporting 10.2 Mbps HSDPA connectivity, 5.0-megapixel autofocus camera, 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD slot (4GB included in the box), A-GPS and integrated compass, and a trackpad, the E72 is a worthy successor to the... Mash-Up: Creating the ultimate FrankenPhone"That thing's going to Cricket" - Aaron Baker, News Editor FrankenPhone! It Lives! Wasn't it Mick Jagger who once crooned, "You can't always get what you want / But if you make a mash-up you kinda can?" Something like that, anyway. I'm tired of "close but no cigar" when it comes to mobile phones. iPhone's great except for that closed OS and no hard keyboard. Palm's WebOS is awesome but Palm can't seem to build a truly awesome piece of hardware... Video: Palm Pixi (Sprint) - UnboxingAdriana takes a look at Palm Pre's "little sister," the Pixi, which just launched on Sprint 11/15 for $99. Is it worth the money? Take a look at what comes in the box and see for yourself. |
