Please take our reader survey
Posted on February 5, 2010 | No CommentsTwo things. First of all: No, the image has absolutely nothing to do with the post. It was between “Stock photo of a bunch of survey check boxes” and this picture of a cat with a human smile – which would you have chosen? Second: Please take this reader survey.

Video: Nokia N900 + SNES Emulator + PS3 Controller = Portable geek bliss
Posted on February 5, 2010 | No CommentsI’ll admit it: When the oh-so-damned-clever coding community managed to get an SNES emulator running on the N900 at fullspeed with features like TV-out, I got all kinds of excited. Hell, even Nokia was excited about it until they got smacked by the Mighty Hand of the Law for showing it. Well, it just got even [...] -

Posted on February 4, 2010 | No CommentsIf you’re using the backup encryption method introduced in iPhone OS 3.0 and your password is something like “cat”, “sex”, or “tetherball”, you should probably change it to something a bit more complicated.

Farewell, T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8900; it was nice knowing you
Posted on February 4, 2010 | No CommentsIt seems like only yesterday that T-Mobile BlackBerry users were being treated to the Curve 8900 when they were feeling Bold 9000 envy.

HTC Trophy details leaked in full [Updated]
Posted on February 3, 2010 | No Comments
When the HTC Trophy made its first appearance on that leaked 2010 roadmap back in early December, we said that it looked like a T-Mobile HTC Dash with a touchscreen.
Now that we've got a clearer picture and a bunch more specs on it, however, it looks more like a... well, a T-Mobile HTC Dash with a touchscreen.

Vinyl Android figurines are the coolest things since sliced ice
Posted on February 2, 2010 | No CommentsOkay, look. I wasn’t going to post about these, because every bit of attention these things get will make it that much harder for me to acquire them before they sell out. But then this little nagging voice in my head (which sounds like a freakish cross between CrunchGear editor John Biggs and my mother) [...] -
Verizon: You know who should buy a Pre Plus? Your mother.
Posted on February 2, 2010 | No CommentsTwo new TV spots for the Pre Plus have just made their way out, and it looks like Verizon has taken a decidedly.. different approach to marketing Palm’s handset than they did with the Motorola Droid.

Nexus One slated to arrive in AT&T 3G flavor
Posted on February 1, 2010 | No CommentsWhen the Google Nexus One was announced early last month, Android fans went giddy with excitement, especially since there is an option to buy it unlocked. The only downside was that if you wanted 3G service, you were limited to T-Mobile’s decent, but smaller network. AT&T users are still out of luck and limited to [...] -

Posted on January 27, 2010 | No Comments
Sharp, the biggest (in terms of market share) of all eight major Japanese cell phone makers, has been talking about internationalizing its phone business for quite some time now.

Nokia announces a 16GB X6, “Comes With Music” not included
Posted on January 26, 2010 | No CommentsWe knew Nokia was preppin’ something for launch today, thanks to some loose lipped execs – but what would it be?
