Dell Sells Out, Offering Smartphones

Not too long ago, I remember when Dell was considered a cutting-edge, respectable computer company.  Their customer service was unparalleled (now it just sucks), they made a name for themselves by customizing their computers to meet the needs of their customers and they offered specialty peripherals.  It was great.
Now, people aren’t buying desktops like they used to.  I still have three in my home and I have no plans of replacing them (although, there are also three laptops in my house as well) but I’m also aware of the fact that there are times when something more portable would …read more

Pre-Order the Blackberry Smartwatch

The rumors are true – there is a Blackberry “watch” and you can pre-order it now!  The inPulse Smartwatch for BlackBerry is scheduled to begin shipping in February 2010.  I was expecting it to cost a fortune but it’s very reasonably priced at $149 USD so I’m pretty impressed!
First things first, though – this is NOT a Smartphone.  It’s a Smartwatch.  Make sure you don’t get your expectations up too high.  I think it was a little risky for them to choose a name like that but maybe they are hoping the confusion will result in people buying this thing …read more

BlackBerry Bold 9700 SOON!

The new BlackBerry Bold 9700 is expected to launch very soon. The “Bold” series has garnered a high fanfare, mainly because of its ease of use. The new Bold 9700 will become even more user friendly, replacing the “Pearl” with an optical pad similar to the Mac compatible 8520 launched earlier this quarter.
The new 9700 will feature a 3.2MP camera and voice calls via WiFi. Essentially it is the same BlackBerry we’ve come to love. Is this bad? RIM is turning into a Nokia with their release of very similar spec phones.

ACER Shell GUI, an upgrade to SPB Shell

ACER unveiled their new line of smartphone handhelds today. One of their proprietary features is the addition of the new ACER Shell GUI that goes above Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 (after Q2 device releases). The technology emulates the touch scroll functions HTC and the iPhone have come out with. The head of ACER’s list of devices is actually the tail end for Glofiish with their SPB Shell UI. ACER merely upgraded the response time and virtual desktop features as seen in the photos above.

Garmin nuviphone: their take on the mobile phone industry

The Garmin nuviphone can actually be a serious consideration for mobile phone users who want something kick ass huge. Imagine a 3.5 inch screen, hefty form factor, HSDPA, and GPS navigation maps. The nuviphone announces Garmin’s take on the mobile phone industry, which really tells more about how they want to bring their GPS navigation experience down to the mobile phone user. If you’ve used Garmin products before, you’ll definitely take a second look at this device.
Again, Garmin should heavily consider third party application support rather than remain in a closed platform. Killer device? We’ll see when they launch this …read more

Haier’s Dual SIM on Windows Mobile

Haier’s Dual SIM on Windows Mobile

We’ve previously talked about the Verzio Duplii and Twinn, one of the more elegant dual SIM solutions to come out in Asia. At CES 2008, we are seeing dual SIM smartphones – like this one from Haier. Although there is already a big advantage in using dual SIM cards for regular phones, having two SIM cards for smartphones offer an additional value – you see, not all mobile phone plans are made the same. Having dual SIMs allows you to choose which number to use for data and for calls. By competence, some carriers usually offer better data plans than …read more

ASUS M530w: Their take on Windows Mobile 6

ASUS M530w: Their take on Windows Mobile 6

Resembling much of the Palm Tungsten W of old, the ASUS M530w is a thumb board navigation smartphone that seems to make sense, just from looking at the real estate. It comes with a nfastastic array of connectivity options including Bluetooth and WiFi 802.11b/g which is really a staple in today’s market for enterprise phones.
The main selling point of the ASUS M530w is its suggested retail price which of late has not yet been announced. However, it is easily surmised that the phone will be very affordable as it is the staple of ASUS to release good products at …read more

ASUS P750

ASUS P750

You know, this kinda reminds me of the BenQ-Siemens P50. Interestingly enough, the ASUS P750 looks like an all around solid smartphone. Running on Windows Mobile 6 (with handwriting recognition), the P750 comes with a fast HSDPA connectivity feature as well as wireless 802.11g. Selling points include a 3MP camera, all around connectivity with push email and GPS.
Announced two months ago, the ASUS P750 will be available soon. For more specs, proceed here. The holidays are just around the corner — this is definitely a good buy!

Watch the SideShow

Watch the SideShow

Windows Vista has a little brother in Windows Mobile. At least that is where it seems to be going. The SideShow application turns your mobile device into a small “Tempest Junior” for the huge desktop “Thunder Sub.”

Here are a few things up for the testing grounds according to the devs:
* New Portrait QVGA UI designed for remote controls
* New Universal driver for Windows SideShow that supports USB and Bluetooth communication
* New Simulator that uses the Universal driver
* New user switching UI for devices operating …read more
