It's not even out yet and we already heard some rumor about the "bad" thing about the HTC Touch Diamond. It's nothing TOO bad, but I'm sure it could be much better.
HTC's new product is finally online and it has the specification section. The bad thing is also shown up there. The bad thing? It only has 384 kbps up-link!
So that means it has no HSUPA, but it is "ultra-sensitive" to GPS receiver. Whatever that menas.
Still though, it still has a very sharp (VGA) and 2.8-inch TOUCH screen. It just looks beautiful (at least to me) and some rumors have it that it's going to come to Sprint! ... Probably will cost an arm with two legs. Chances are, I still will get it
Well, aside of that 384 kbps up-link,... [Read More]
The time finally comes. HTC will give those of you (with the TyTN II) an update that will improve the graphics drivers!
When is it? It should be sometimes this month (according to MSMobiles.com) It's very likely that it'll be just this coming week. HTC will release the ROM update for HTC TyTN II that will improve graphics drivers and will offer improved performance.
Sounds good, right? Well, yes. However, that'll only be effective for those with the TyTN II, not with other versions. That'll mean it's too bad for those of you who has the Tilt, or whatever your wireless carrier decided to call it.
The issues that will be resolved have not really been spoken. This is actually from a "reliable" source from the MSMobiles.com. We don't even know (but hope) that it's true.
It's time like these that it made me feel so stupid for buying the Touch. I could've waited for this baby. That's OK. I'll just be talking about it instead.
Nokia was planning on releasing a Symbian S60 touch phone with tilt sensor but happened to find some issues that made the giant-mobile maker delayed the launch date. With that, HTC became the first one with Touch interface AND tilt sensor! (meaning you can lean it and it can tell which direction that is closer to the ground)
It's a very stylish design phone. This is not just a hardware design, it also includes the software. The HTC Touch Diamond is packed with Windows Mobile 6. There are the pictures that you can go here.
Also, these are some highlights that MSMobiles had written up. I just copied this and pasted so you guys can see [Read More]
By the way, I just got mine! This is actually a review of the 0.6 version that was just released couple of days ago.
I'm not going to be giving my own review of this product because I like it a lot. Mainly because I only had PIE on my Touch at the time. Of course, that's probably not going to say much since it's incomparable to the mighty SkyFire (that is possibly going to charge you once it's out of Beta stage)
The cool thing about SkyFire though is that you can view the page as if it's an image. You can pan, scroll and select how big you want to zoom it. The zooming feature is locked to the proportion of your screen only. Which makes sense to me.
Typing is a bit annoying, but very bearable. It requires you to input text and that's going to be sent over to Skyfire. Then Skyfire will put that in the box and send the... [Read More]
T-Mobile said today that it has launched its first commercial high-speed wireless service in New York City! Of course, the plan to expand the service is to come. The service is going to be starting fro 20 to 25 major US markets by the end of the year.
Yes, it did take a while, but finally it has arrived.
The new service is the technology that many of us had longed to hear. It is the HSDPA. It will boost the T-Mobile web speeds by about four time initially. It should also double the data speed afterward, when the carrier finally decided to bring in any new HSDPA phone in the third quarter.
T-Mobile is saying that its initial data speed will be 200 kilobits per second to 300 kbps. Right now, its current speed is at 50 to 80 kbps.
T-Mobile was holding it in until this day. Mainly because only some of... [Read More]
Sprint Nextel Corp finally is thinking. They are considering of dropping the Nextel part off of its name. The move will definitely prove that acquiring Nextel was a failure to Sprint's part. However, that sure will get rid of a lot of troubles that Sprint had gained recently.
No deals or anything is clear. It's just a talk and discussions that has been an ongoing process with some people at Sprint. Of course, this is not something we have received from Sprint. It's actually from Wall Street Journal.
If they decided to give up Nextel, they'll also dodge the bullet that FCC is threatening on them. Nextel is using the same frequency with some law enforcement agencies. Mainly the fire departments'. They have been... [Read More]
Our need for energy is always on the rise with newer, more powerful mp3 players, cell phones, PC's, laptops... etc, but our energy shortage isn't going anywhere.
The Greenhouse effect is still a huge issue, and the holes in the ozone are definitely not shrinking.
If you are one of the many that is, or has been trying to "go green", there are several new solar power products that maybe worth looking into. You can find a decent review of the product from geek.com here.
Good news. To those who wants to try something else that's new and different than the regular HTC, Gloofish or some other major WM devices, the new Xperia X1 will arrive soon!
This has been brought by Handango. So take it at the grains of salt. In any case, the device from Sony Ericsson is coming sometimes this year. It should be in sometime this September.
The price is yet to be found. However, you know that you'll need a lot for the device if you want one. Yay for diversity?
Have you heard that America is the most obese nation in the world?
But honestly, why go out into the baking sun, the freezing cold, or anything in between when you could hole up in your sunless, lifeless, loveless lazyboy/1080i/surround sound/TiVo habitation and live in virtual bliss? Isn't that what humans are supposed to do? Change the environment to fit us!
I'm not obese! I am evolution at its finest!
Besides, didn't you know that all cable is being upgraded to digital signal?
But where did I put that remote control.... I don't want to move, it would spill all the baked lays I worked so hard to setup on my belly for later consumption.
Oh well, ever since I got my mobile device to work as my remote control, I don't need to worry about lower life form things like getting up to look for... [Read More]
It's actually not too much of a secret. It's been known, but not really followed because the number 4 wireless carrier is doing that bad that noone really cares too much about them.
Sprint's WM6 Smartphones that are part of the IBM/Sprint agreement will be the first one to dip this. They have teamed up to implement IBM's Lotus Expeditor. How will this thing works? Here's the direct quote:

...can run generically written rich GUI applications that can run across a broad range of devices and desktop computers. The platform also includes APIs to give you access to Sprint specific phone
Do you miss your mom who's 3000 miles away? How about her cooking? Cookies? Well, you know, if you want to, you might be able to smell her cookings and cookies soon!
Of course, that'll probably come with your brother's farts. Well, noone knows if it's actually happening anytime soon, but may=be these companies from Germany do. They have patented the technology that enables people to send scented text messages between phones.
The way it's supposed to work is that the phones will be made with 100 pre-defined scents on a chip in the phone. So those are probably generic scents, but it's not going to be something you record and send over just yet... just yet, I tell you.
It'd be cool, but... very disturbing all at once. You know... talking to those people who has no sense of respects and still talk on the phone WHILE... [Read More]
There's a tip coming in to the guys in Boys Genius Report. It may come as soon as 2 days from now! Hopefully if their tipsters are correct.
T-Mobile should be lanching their 3G data network starting May 1st, but in NYC first. It shouldn't be just one place, but then again, we have no confirmation yet.
Honestly though, who'd know that they have 3G going on. Most of T-Mobile phones don't even support 3G.
This is NOT official by Sprint. This is what I found on WMExperts (which found from PPCGeeks). Love story short, if this doesn't work or brick your phone, Sprint will probably not going to do anything about it.
Since Alltel got all the loving, some people with Sprint wants some loving for their device too (like me). Verizon people hasn't really been waiting. They just got their devices like... today (some got them 2 weeks ago).
If you'd like to give it a shot, here's the link to PPCGeeks. I'll probably try this sometimes later. When I finally have time to eat first.
Even though we have heard it over and over that HTC is one of the front runners to be serving Google when its Android is coming out. HTC just wanted to assure us and (probably) Microsoft that they think Microsoft's Windows Mobile is much more important than the Google Android.
HTC is saying that they want to expand their portfolios. One other thing is that, they want to compete with iPhone, but will not be able to get their paws onto Mac OSX. Now, iPhone is sitting on its new line of iPhones with 3G, HTC is also sitting on the new device as well. The new device will have VGA resolution, very thin and the new generation of HTC TouchFLO extension.
That new device is called Diamond. It'll be running on Windows Mobile 6(.1?) The shipment date is set around May 6, but could be delayed. With this focus, they are hoping that we'll believe... [Read More]
While the PMP (portable mp3 player) world has been overrun with nanos or zunes, you maybe surprised to find that most every major (and sometimes not too major) electronics company has its own take on a mobile music device.
In the spotlight now, would be Samsung's YP-P2. The device, shown to the right, was released as a major competitor to the iTouch (for its touch screen capability)but may have been swamped under Apple's superior marketing. However, upon further review of the device, one would find that it boasts a myriad of amazing features, including amazing software overhauls and updates from Samsung.
In a most recent development with Samsung, in their constant search for customer satisfaction (claim remains to be proven), has called upon several user bases for their desired changes on yet another update for its device.
Sprint Nextel Corp finally is thinking. They are considering of dropping the Nextel part off of its name. The move will definitely prove that acquiring Nextel was a failure to Sprint's part. However, that sure will get rid of a lot of troubles that Sprint had gained recently.
Does anyone remember the rolling blackouts?
