OMAP3 powers the Omnia HD

I had my suspicions this would be true when I first read about what the i8910 could do, but this article seems to confirm it. The Omnia HD is powered by an OMAP 3 chip with a dedicated graphics processor.  Which kind of OMAP 3 is unclear—there’s a 3430, which is what the Palm Pre [...]

It’s 2006 all over again–the real Nokia N95 sucessor has arrived as the Omnia HD

Don’t let the title mislead you—when I say it’s 2006, that’s a good thing.  It was in 2006 that Nokia shocked the world when it unveiled the N95, a phone that even by today’s harsh standards is still a very good phone.
It was today, Feb. 16, 2009, that Samsung has announced the first phone that [...]

The Samsung i8910 – It is mine

Holy crap holy crap holy holy crap holy crap crap!
It’s confirmed. It’s all confirmed.
Excuse me a moment while I cool down and compose myself.  This is like porn for me.
(Five minutes pass.)
OK, ok…I think I’m ready.  First off, let me introduce you to the Samsung i8910, in the flesh.  Yesterday’s rumors proved 100% accurate, which I [...]

What do they put in the water in Brisbane?

…For this shit to be so freaking amazing?

Verrrry very interesink

If this shoddily-translated Korean report is true, apparently we’ll be seeing a 12 MP camera phone out of Samsung at MWC this year.  (No, not a “1200″ MP phone as the article states; that’s for next year.)
While it’s generally regarded as fact that 12 MP phones will be released this year—both Samsung and Sony announced [...]

3G in Omaha

My last 3G in Omaha post is probably the most popular on the whole friggin’ blog, and I’m comforted that some people are as dorky as I am.
Unfortunately, it’s also the one I didn’t update when the switch was actually flipped.
So, it shall come as no surprise to anyone that 3G/HSDPA is now deployed in [...]

You all are going to shoot me, but…

…I’m seriously thinking about selling my N82 in about two to three months. Nope, guess not.  See above post.
*Dodges the tomatoes
Through a site called ImportGSM.com, I can sell back any phone for “fair market value,” and since my N82 is NEW, for all intents and purposes, I expect I could recoup almost all of my [...]

Omaha at night

I hung out with some friends yesterday and we ended up at the Con Agra Campus, as usual, since it’s very picturesque.  Armed with my N82, I took some night shots. I used Night Mode to get the lighting and Burst Mode to take rapid-fire shots so I could capture everything.
I think they turned out [...]

Good news for Windows/toast fans

Last night while I was up until midnight reading Ctrl+Alt+Del, this would have been very handy.  I’m taking about, of course, the idea of slipping a piece of bread into my computer and having it cook into toast in a matter of minutes, after which I would have consumed it and continued reading.
That is now [...]

New addiction

Yes, because one wasn’t enough.
And, no, I haven’t taken up crack.
I’m addicted to Ctrl+Alt+Del. It’s all I’ve been reading all day.  Oh, SURE, there were fleeting moments of playing TS2 and watching MST3K, but the bulk of the day has been spend at the hands of the CAD gang.
There’s video games, satire, swearing, innuendo, blood, [...]

LED vs Xenon…FIGHT!

The winner is clear, as I knew it would be.
In the fight between an LED flash and a Xenon flash, there is no contest.
The N95, while close to perfection, is beat out in the camera department by the N82.  Low-light conditions were not the N95’s friend, as they were either too dark, blurry, or both.
The [...]

Something you didn’t learn in history class

I got this from Dave Barry’s blog, but apparently the King of Pop is quite a bit older than we all thought.  From the Field Museum in Chicago.
Kind of gives new meaning to the music video to “Remember The Time.”

New toy to play with

My black Nokia N82 arrived this morning while I was at work.
I haven’t put in the battery or turned it on, but I am still SUPREMELY impressed.  I don’t know if it’s the color or what, but the phone is just downright sexy. Pictures really don’t do it justice (especially since I haven’t taken off [...]

Phones galore in Vegas

My original plan in Vegas, at some point, was to find the Nokia Experience Center at the Fashion Show Mall.  It has since left, but I was pleasantly surprised by some of the other things available.
The first encounter was at the Caesar’s Palace Forum Shops.
