G1 Emulator

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,...

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...

Why do people hate the iPhone?

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...

BlackBerry Storm Video

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...

Touch Diamond video coming

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...

Looks like Verizon Wireless is aiming to change all of that with the introduction of...

Nokia 5800 launch

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...
