T-Mobile's G1 emulator
is online, and playing with it is just like messing around with the
not-yet-available HTC H1 Android phone. Except for the phone part.The
emulator is pretty cool, and honestly got me a little more jazzed to
try out a G1 in person. Don't get me wrong, I was jazzed already - but
the emulator made me forget about the phone's perceived hardware
shortcomings and instead focus on the Android user experience,...
Has anyone out there upgraded their Samsung Instinct to the latest firmware rev.? I got a few reports that Sprint and Samsung have unleashed a new version that focuses on the Web browser. Sounds like there might just be a full screen option (mapped to the Voice Command button) as well as general speed and stability improvements.Got an Instinct? Upgraded it? Hit the Web and let us know how it is!
Love the HTC Touch Diamond but tired of basic black? Or maybe you're
into Sprint's red version but wish you could get the GSM version with
the original "faceted" back plate done up in red? You may be in luck.
French retailer Phone and Phone has the Touch Diamond in seven new
colors on its website, and while there's nothing about worldwide
availability of the newly colored faceplates, if this is legit it would
stand to...
Part 2 of Noah's review of the first CDMA Touch Diamond - Sprint's version. Is it a diamond or just a piece of cubic zirconia? Watch Part 2 to find out.
Noah goes in-depth with Sprint's version of the HTC Touch Diamond. Is this the best Windows Mobile phone out there right now? Find out what kravvykrav thinks, and decide for yourself, in Part 1 of the review.
I got this question today via Facebook and thought it warranted some thought ... and all that thought warranted a blog post. So I ask you, as you read on, what do YOU think? Why do some people just seem to hate the iPhone (and Apple) so much? Noah, maybe you can answer this for me: Why is it when people praise the iPhone, they're viewed as either blind fanboys, or on the Cupertino payroll, and when people praise 'any' other...
Watching this video from Italian site ilTrillo.com is seriously a lot like watching a bootleg copy of a first-run movie that hasn't come to your local theater yet. In this case it goes like this: Yeah, you get to see more on the BlackBerry Storm but you have to suffer through a shaky handycam vid shot from the back of the auditorium and also deal with clipping audio and lots of people's heads between you and the content you really want to...
Apparently the home office has been getting a lot of impatient
questions about the full review Sprint Touch Diamond video I promised
when I did the unboxing vid a little while back. I really didn't mean
to keep you in the dark on this one, folks, so here's an update.
I
shot a bunch of footage on Tuesday and Wednesday but wasn't sure that I
was happy with it. No matter, for when I sat down to edit, the largest
of my footage...
Motorla's MING series of Linux-based, touchscreen smartphones have been pretty popular overseas but never really seen the light of day here in the US. Sure, you could pick up an unlocked GSM MING via CompUSA or an importer, but without carrier backing most Americans had no idea that MING was a phone and not *just* a dynasty from their history books.
Looks like Verizon Wireless is aiming to change all of that with the introduction of...
Nokia held a big shindig in London today where, as expected, they officially launched the XpressMusic 5800. The 5800 is the first device to feature the S60 5th Edition operating system, which adds support for fingertip and stylus-based input and high-resolution displays. As you might expect from that, the 5800 does in fact pack a high-res, touch-friendly screen: 3.2" of resistive touchscreen at 640 x 360 pixels.
The 5800 also...
Sprint launched its WiMAX service, "XOHM," in its first public market earlier this week. Customers in Baltimore, MD can now sign up for daily and/or monthly mobile broadband service thanks to the US' first commercial deployment of next-gen wireless internet service, and Sprint's going to be rolling out XOHM (which operates on the 802.16e standard, in case you were curious) next in Chicago, Washington DC, Providence, RI, Boston, and...
I've been using SportsTap, a free iPhone application available at Apple's App Store, for the past month or two now. As of yesterday I'm no longer using it, and have replaced it on my Home screen with a link to ESPN's iPhone-optimized mobile site. Why?1. This past Sunday I was hanging out with a Mets fan friend of mine. I used SportsTap to check the score of the Mets game - which baseball fans know was do-or-die (die,...
As I'm sure you know, the G1 will come bundled with the standard core applications that all smart phones include nowadays; an email client, contact manager, calendar, web browser, favorites organizer, calculator, etc. The Maps app has been demonstrated several times in Google promotional videos, as have been the picture browser, SMS client and music player. After downloading a sort of preview version of Android 1.0, I can confirm that all of...
Happy October, everbody! As my present to you to celebrate this first day of the tenth month of 2008, I give you the Major League Baseball playoffs tonight and a whole bunch of T-Mobile G1 unboxing photos right now.
Okay, truth be told, I had little to do with either the MLB playoffs or the unboxing photos. The former are courtesy of MLB, of course, and the latter come to us from TMoNews.com. Can't wait for that G1 review...
