HTC HD2 turns up in purported T-Mobile USA materials {Engadget}
Oct 15th 2009 7:23AM I'm going to be really pissed if this thing "comes to the states" on either T-Mobile or Verizon and us AT&T folk are yet again left without NAM 3G on a nice HTC. I'm already passing on the Touch Pro 2 because I don't feel like dropping $ on what is little more than a bigger version of my Touch Pro; if the Omnia2 with 850/1900 MHz 3G comes out before this does I'm just buying that.
HTC Pure and Tilt 2 bring Windows Mobile 6.5 to AT&T {Engadget}
Oct 5th 2009 10:34AM No, not come on people. AT&T has had MONTHS to do whatever the hell it is they do to handsets before they release them, butcher the UI, butcher the hardware design (see: HTC Pure), butcher everything, and they couldn't have been bothered to just throw the 3.5mm jack in there. Sprint and Verizon both got this thing on the market quicker, WITH the 3.5mm jack. What did AT&T do for more than a month?
HTC Imagio with WinMo 6.5 out October 6 on Verizon? {Engadget}
Sep 30th 2009 11:55AM this is so not Leo related...at all, just a freakin CDMA TD2...
AT&T launching 3G Microcell in some markets in the next few days? {Engadget}
Sep 19th 2009 5:02AM For a second I thought that was 250 kbps, I was going to go off into an "iPhone sucks" rant. 250 KB/s is pretty damn good, 250kbps is EDGE. My Fuze when tethered usually hovers around 250 KB/s, with bursts as high as 2.4 Mbps (which is like a hair under 300). I just wish AT&T would roll out 7.2...
This microcell sounds cool, if they don't charge out the ass for it.
AT&T, Sprint, Verizon all signed up for WinMo 6.5 launches on October 6 {Engadget}
Sep 16th 2009 6:58PM Looks like I'm headed to a corp store to see if they'll let me upgrade early to a TP2/Tilt2. Do Premier customers still get upgrades every 6 months?
WVGA TF3D 2.5/2.6 + WinMo 6.5....do want, even if it is the same crappy 528 MHz Qualcomm in there.
Windows Mobile 6.5 cellphones coming October 6th {Engadget}
Sep 2nd 2009 2:14PM I actually hope that Windows Mobile 7, or Windows Phone 360 or whatever the hell is going to be called, is BUTT UGLY.
Then I can point and laugh at the iPhone nubs getting LTE in 2020 and still be able to say that my butt ugly smartphone OS actually gets things done.
Samsung Omnia 2 pre-order page now live, tempting you with debt {Engadget}
Sep 2nd 2009 2:04PM GSM Arena screwed their specs up, most of these selling online include 1900 MHz so they include partial AT&T 3G coverage.
And the Omnia II has been available online for over one month now Engadget, and is now only ~$600 from reliable importers. NOT NEWS...
HTC Mega materializes again, brings along spec list {Engadget}
Aug 23rd 2009 5:53PM iPhone OS and WebOS are Mature? Try more shiny. Windows Mobile has been around since before either existed, it takes the "Mature" cake, although it could use some polish.
By the way, when you try and use Windows Mobile to get some shit done, as in actually use it for all your messaging or to manage your schedule, something you can't do on the iPhone (not without a physical keyboard I can't), it's wonderful. People buying WinMo phones and expecting stupid featurephones need to go buy just that, a stupid featurephone. As soon as WinMo 6.5 drops I'm disabling TouchFLO (because it needs a lot more than a 528 MHz Qualcomm, God I hate those things) and just using the native home screen.
T-Mobile announces HTC Touch Pro2 for August 12 availability {Engadget}
Jul 29th 2009 2:13AM If you want to be fancy and use stock tickers, Apple's is AAPL.
I don't see any problems with WinMo, other than not being more "finger friendly", which is hardly a con since I *like* being able to pull my stylus out and get accuracy that's physically impossible with the iPhone and other capacitive screen phones. I'll probably pick up the TP2 once it hits AT&T, load it up with a cooked ROM, and keep my Fuze as a spare.
Samsung Omnia Pro to be the Louvre B7610? {Engadget}
Jun 14th 2009 11:33PM If this makes it to AT&T, I'm definitely in for one. I had a BlackJack and BlackJack II and loved both, and Samsung dropped the ball with the Epix so when upgrade time came around I went with a Fuze/HTC Touch Pro. I kinda regret it since I already lost the LCD on that fragile POS and TouchSLOW isn't helping.
The way I see it, these are your options when it comes to smartphones:
1. There's an app for that. Except the one that lets you run multiple apps.
2. device.exe is insisting on crashing your phone, for no apparent reason. Send error report?
3. E-mail e-mail e-mail e-mail. I can't really say anything negative about BB OS other than not liking the UI.
4. Series 60 is alright, and probably the most stable of the bunch.
5. OMG WEBOS. Time will tell.
6. mmm...cupcakes. Where are the devices?
Odd how I love WinMo but can't find something bad to say about a few of its competitors. If decent S60 devices didn't cost a fortune I'd probably be using it. Seems like all the great Nokia smartphones only make it stateside once they're a year old and have had half their features removed by AT&T.
