Published new Review of the Palm TX PDA on 2007-05-23 09:32:00

We published a new review of the Palm TX PDA.  Here is a quote from the article:

"TX sports a chic midnight blue hue for its solid and compact body. Measuring 4.7 x 3.0 x 0.6 inches, the device weighs a meager 5.2 ounces and fits well in your bag or pocket. This palm has a flip cover attached to the left spine to guard the screen and outer fascia from ugly scratches. Offering 320 x 480 pixel resolutions, the TFT touch-screen display is a gorgeous affair that supports over 65,000 colors. The text images are sharp and crisp displaying web pages, presentations, spreadsheets, photos and videos in authentic details as the screen rotates from landscape to portrait mode. The Palm logo stands at the top."

Published Samsung BlackJack Review on 2007-05-15 22:50:18

We published a new review of the Samsung BlackJack Smartphone today.  Here is a quote from the article:

"If being slim and sleek is in vogue, why should mobile phones lag behind? Cingular, Samsung and Microsoft have teamed up to create the BlackJack Smartphone which has leveraged the latest functionality in Microsoft's Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system as well as catered to the booming demand for the ultra slim form factor.

The phone flaunts impressive dimensions of 4.4 inches by 2.3 inches height by 0.5 inches, weighing in at a mere 3.49982363315697 ounces (okay, so maybe they aren’t all that exact). Its gorgeous features include the backlit QWERTY keyboard and a dazzling display with 320x240 resolution and 65K colors. It is a well crafted combination of technology and grace in and is a great means of business use as well as entertainment and personal purposes. "

Published New Review of the Blackberry Curve on 2007-05-13 09:08:53

We published a new review of the Blackberry Curve Today.  Here is a quote from the review:

"Beauty, brains and the right curves…..a proportionate combination of the three can sweep you off your feet! Well, we are talking about the new BlackBerry Curve 8300 Smartphone. Besides flaunting its gorgeous curves, the handheld device has proclaimed itself to be the smallest and the lightest full QWERTY BlackBerry Smartphone.

Following in the footsteps of the Pearl that appeared in the market last year, aiming primary at the gizmo-savvy business users, the Curve has toned up its features for the mainstream consumers. This introduction has been studied as a move to target both the high as well as the low ends of the market."

Published Review of the Vaja Moto Q Classic Case on 2007-05-06 13:57:43

We posted a new review today of the Vaja Classic case for the Motorola Moto Q smartphone.  Here is a quote from the article:

"While there are many competing case products out there on the market, such as the toughskin series or the crystal clear plastic cases, the Vaja line of cases differentiate itself from by its high quality leather. This is also why these cases are almost 10 times more expensive than the competition. Consider some of the attributes of leather:

Vaja produces a number of cases for the Q, but the classic is the very first created. You can order your case with or without the rivet clip system, which is unique to Vaja. If you order the rivet clip, then the case comes with a built in button on the back side.

The female part of the clip that fastens to your belt (or dashboard or whatever) is magnetized and includes a quick release button. Out of all the clip systems I have seen the Rivet Clip has been the easiest to use. Also, the built in button on the backside of the phone is small enough to allow you to put the phone in your pocket and not notice the clip."

Published Review of the Blackberry 8800 on 2007-05-04 17:04:12

Today we posted a new review of the RIM Blackberry 8800.  Here is a quote:

"BlackBerry since its inception has always been an awesome combination of mobile telephone, e-mail service, text messaging, internet faxing, web browsing and other wireless information services teaming up with PDA applications.   But moving much ahead, 8800 has not only revolutionized the concept of mobility but has also craved a style-statement for its proud owners.  This new power-packed palm-gear is incredibly precise, elegant yet performance-driven to go with a look that is chiseled to perfection.  This version is the slimmest on the ramp measuring a wee 0.55 inch from front to back. At 4.4x2.6x0.5 inches and 4.7 ounces, it's slightly taller than the 8700c ( 4.3x2.7x0.7 inches; 4.7 ounces)."

Win a free Treo 755 Smartphone! on 2007-05-02 16:35:27

Looks like mytreo.net and Gx5 are teaming up to give away a Treo 755 smartpheon!  All you have to do is design a background image with Dial by Photo.  Here is what mytreo.net said:

To compete, download DialByPhoto and apply your background image and photo contacts. Then take 3 screen shots and send it to promos@gx-5.com.

One week after the Treo 755p’s launch, the DialByPhoto staff will choose the top 12 winners. The top 2 will receive Treo 755p free and the remaining 10 will receive DialByPhoto licenses.

Already own DialByPhoto? If you make it into the top 12, you can choose to win a Gx5’s new weather application TreoWeather instead.

 

I know the Treo isn't coming out for a little while, but this is still a contest that is easy enough to enter.  Although, I'm not so sure about the TreoWeather application, I mean it is easy enough for me to pull up weather on my Moto Q without buying some weather software...

Cingular 8525 upgrade announced today on 2007-05-01 15:00:49

Today AT&T announced an update to the Cingular 8525, although it wasn't the highly anticipated upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.  Nonetheless the ROM Upgrade announced on HTC's website will probably make your device a little less buggy and the like.  Actually, we don't know for sure what this update will do because netiher AT&T nor HTC published that information. 

The upgrade will take approximately 20 minutes, and it WILL erase everything you have saved (that is because it is a ROM upgrade).  However, you can still restore your data via activesync, but be careful.

Today Planttonics announced that it will be introducing the Pulsar 260 Stereo Bluetooth Headset to the United States at the CITA Wireless Trade show in Orlando, FL at the end of March. 

 

This new bluetooth headset will allow you to manage both phone calls and music, and switch between the two with the touch of a button.  Plantronics touts the following features on its website:

I think this will be a very useful bluetooth headset, if you are the kind of person who likes using them.  Personally, I can't stand it when people walk around with a big bright blue LED flashing in their ear, but maybe that's just me.  Check out Plantronics to find out more. 

Published News Review of the Cingular Wirless 8525 Smartphone on 2007-04-28 10:01:45

Cingular Wireless LLC's new 8525 smart phone lets user type in with a keyboard that slides in and out to suit the user requirement. Though the keyboard, per se, is rather large for the size of the smart phone, the screen size of the device has remained unaffected by the presence of a comprehensive computer keyboard abroad. The best part of the package is that Cingular 8525 does not sacrifice the lightness and compactness of a regular state-of- the- art mobile handset in a bid to provide a keyboard that makes data entry much simpler and faster, in turn rendering the user experience with the entire device highly convenient and charming.

Web News Round Up Friday the 13th on 2007-04-13 11:10:55

Here is a web round up of the latest mobile reviews:

 

 

Cisco stomps on Apples territory by introducing a family of products under the name "iPhone" on 2006-12-19 13:58:53

On Monday Cisco introduced a family of devices that utilize Voice over IP (VoIP) technology, which are being marketed with the name “iPhone”. Cisco claims to have owned the trademark to the iPhone name for over a decade and that it has plans to use the name in its longer term strategy for created networked homes. 
 
The problem, of course, is that the name “iPhone” has been touted by the media to be the name of the rumored iPod Cell phone project that Apple might be working on. In fact, Apple owns the domain name iphone.org, and has even filed for trademarks on the name overseas.
 
The new family of phones to be introduced by Cisco will integrate communication platforms, such as Skype and Yahoo!, with voice, so that users will be able to tell when their friends and relatives are online and ready to receive calls. 
 
The company said “callers can toggle between the free VoIP calling options available from Skype or Yahoo! And traditional landline service with the click of a button.”
 
Here are the seven models that were introduced yesterday:
 
  1. iPhone Cordless Internet Telephony Kit ($79.99)
  2. iPhone Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit ($99.99)
  3. iPhone Dual-Mode Cordless Phone for Yahoo! Messenger, with Voice ($99.99)
  4. iPhone Dual-Mode Internet Telephony Kit for Skype ($179.99)
  5. iPhone Wireless-G IP Phone ($219.99)
  6. iPhone Wireless-G Phone for Skype ($199.99)
  7. iPhone Wireless-G IP Phone ($369.99)
 
 
The Wireless-G iPhones come with a web browser that allows users to access music, photos, and streaming video from the Internet. Further, the Dual-Mode model with Yahoo! Messenger allows access to local business and weather information, programmable by zip code.
