Briefly: Nokia Finally Announces its Windows Phone
We may remember that earlier this year Nokia was in a significant amount of trouble. The Symbian OS was horribly outdated and Meego was stillborn. The company needed a new direction and chose Windows Phone 7 as its new platform of choice. That was in February however, and more than 8 months later Nokia still …

Where’s the iPhone 5 and What’s Taking So Long??
This is a question I am getting asked a lot amongst my friends. As the resident tech expert and the only one really plugged into the rumor mill with a blog, I guess I’m their most reliable source. Still, the question plagues me daily and I must admit my frustration at the lack of a …

State of the Telecoms: Devices
Last year, in a vain attempt to create some sort of quarterly feature, I published the “State of the Telecoms” accessing each of the four major carriers and their pros and cons. I think it was a pretty dry post. So instead, I’ve decided this year to focus in on what you guys really want. …

Renders of First WP7 Nokia Phones
So Nokia’s going to Windows Phone 7. Can they still keep their personal flair in the transition? Looks like it. Engadget got a hold of some concept photos for what Nokia’s first WP7 devices will look like. Seems like a nice cross between the N8 and C7 with some bigger screens. I like these a …

Ode to the Flip Phone
Today I saw a rare gem of a begotten era: a Motorola RAZR. It was only out of the corner of my eye that I saw the device, held up to the ear of some collegiate fellow as our paths crossed. At first, I didn’t think anything of it. But something about the sight …

Why I Hate the KIN
Last month Microsoft unveiled their long rumored “Project Pink.” Long thought to be a “Zune Phone”, what Microsoft instead announced was the KIN, a new mobile phone platform that seemed sort of… misplaced.

No Matter Who Wins, We Win
Two weeks ago Microsoft unveiled Windows Phone Series 7, the next generation of their mobile phone software formerly known as Windows Mobile. The unveiling was a revelation to the masses: Microsoft actually gets it now. Windows Mobile had been a slow, outdated and frustrating operating system.
