Xperia Pureness unboxed, performs for the camera (video) {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 30th 2009 5:26PM I think that it's funny that the only thing from that box that I would ever use is that Sweet $100 (or more, last time I checked) stereo bluetooth headset that sony sent along. And I think it's even funnier that the guy from the review "couldn't figure out how to use those headphones"!
Motorola Droid stands in for glamorous photo shoot {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 20th 2009 5:49PM The Calgary looks like a phone that VZW will market to peoople in the 12 to 16 year old age bracket just to make the most of their ARPUs. That phone looks like a toy compared to the Droid.
Verizon asks 'if the iDoesn't, what does?' {Engadget Mobile}
Oct 17th 2009 7:15PM I still have not been able to comprehend why so many people are talking about how much more awesome and advanced the iPhone keeps getting. Sure, it has capacitive multitouch which is a great feature but needing to use one hand to hold the phone while using the other to make gestures to zoom in seems pointless to me when in one hand on a BlackBerry you can do all the navigation and zooming you want with just your thumb. And this AWESOME addition of MMS and tethering support - who are we kidding - the Moto Q has been able to do those since 1912 (maybe a bit of an exaggeration-but you get the point). I do agree that the graphics capabilities are hard to match, but that comes with some caveats. If all manufacturers had decided 4 years ago to focus on mobile 3D rendering and say "Ah, Screw video capture, people would much rather be able to play racing simulators so real they start sweating in their seat on the bus while commuting to work." we'd see those same capabilities from everybody. All platforms these days are developing easy to use mobile application download centers, and are making it easy for software devs to get their ideas out there. People from all camps are working to level the playing field and now we're seeing great devices coming from all directions. Think about this statement from Big Red not as a slam on the iPhone itself but on the network that the iPhone doesn't have behind it. After all, the unnamed iDevice doesn't have a network with the 3G coverage footprint that VZW has, nor does it have a network with the spectrum capacity to handle all of the 3G data calls at 3G speeds that VZW has.
