My friends over at NewTeeVee must have caught Om sleeping because they absconded with his T-Mobile G1 just long enough to make this short video. They dive into the native YouTube app on the Android handset and show you the greater amount of detail you find in the software when compared to that "other" [...]

T-Mobile has finally announced that the official U.K release date will be the 30th October.
Pre-orders for the Google G1 have already notched up 25,000 in the U.K already!
It seems a global buzz is defying the predictions of some analysts.
The HTC manufactured handset is expected to notch up 600,000 sales by the end of the year, [...]

We’ve only had a few short days to get our feet wet with a T-Mobile G1 phone and while there are definite similarities to other devices and platforms, this is certainly a different beast. First and foremost, the entire Android ecosystem is much more open from a development point of view. While this is clearly [...]

When I recently interviewed Frank Meehan, GM of 3G Handsets and Products, Hutchinson Whampoa/3 at our Mobilize event, he kept coming back to a key point: people want to do anything and everything they can with their phones. It’s not always about which handset has the most glitz and glamor, but about the services and [...]

I’ve been a flip-phone fan ever since my Motorola StarTAC days, but much of the smartphone market has stayed away from the form factor. There have been a few exceptions and RIM adds another one today with the launch of their BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 on T-Mobile’s network.

We have seen the big buzz over the first Android phone, the T-Mobile G1. We heard the stories about the difficulty getting a pre-shipment order in to T-Mobile. The only thing we could assume was that Google, HTC and T-Mobile were making as many G1s as they could because the orders were flying fast and [...]

Hello MOTO, or should we say hello MOTO Q11? Motorola’s newest evolutionary (at best) Q-series device is due out in December and adds few new bits and changes from the Q9 that arrived last year. The most noticeable addition is the availability of WiFi, something that many readers can’t do without on a phone these [...]

Lots of buzz today about the Blackberry Storm that is coming soon and of all the reviews I’ve read so far one thing in common is the feeling that the touch screen is very well done. RIM and Verizon have indicated the touch screen is multi-touch capable although it’s not yet clear how that is [...]
