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.

A turning point?

I just read a report that kind of pains me yet has me excited at the same time.  Apparently, Sony Ericsson isn’t doing too well.  According to a very reliable online source (a guy who gets basically every prototype unit from every company several months before release), all of SEs phones from now to at [...]

Pure advertising genius

Since I’m a Public Relations/Advertising major, I have a certain interest in company logos.  Without going in to too much detail, I LOVE Sony Ericsson’s logo the best because it is simply a stroke of genius.
The cool thing about their logo is the fact that while it looks cool by itself, the letters “S” and [...]

How perceptive I am

I’ve had my Sony Vaio laptop for more than a year, and up until now, I’ve never noticed that it has something very very cool in it.
The computer is DLNA certified, which means that it’s compatible with other devices that offer DLNA.
One such other device is the upcoming Sony Ericsson C905.
What is DLNA?  Essentially, via [...]

More C905 pr0n

I am totally head-over-heels in love with this phone.  I love everything about it.  The shutter mechanism is genius (it’s flat when closed, but the bottom retracts and the top slides over it when it’s opened), the screen auto-rotates thanks to the accelerometer, and it has a mineral glass scratch-resistent screen.  Love it.
It has WiFi, [...]

Finally! 3G lovin’ in Omaha!

My mom clipped out an article from the paper today that confirmed something I already knew, but it was nice to see it official and in print.
Due to the release of the second-generation iPhone, which has 3G (HSDPA; High Speed Downlink Access Packet; broadband Internet on your phone) AT&T was finally kicked in the collective [...]

SEs ROCK!

I’ve been using my Nokia for a while now, but switched to my K790 while I’m at camp.  I forgot how awesome that phone is.  The user interface is the best I’ve used on a non-smartphone, since it has the power and feeling of a smartphone interface.
The Sony Ericsson PC Suite is great too.  Nokia’s [...]

She seems to have that professional touch, yeah

The side-sliding counterpart to the HTC Touch Diamond, the HTC Touch Pro (”Raphael” was unveiled while I was on vacation.
Looks great. Has some great features—all the same as the Diamond, but trading the 4GB of internal memory for the mandatory microSD slot. Plus, it’s got a much larger battery.
Sore points are the camera [...]

Phone news

Well, the Sony Ericsson “Paris” isn’t going to pan out. The whitepaper (specsheet) lists all the wrong stuff and while it would be a great phone for 2007, not so much for a late 2008 model. Triband GSM is likely plus it’s all running atop a three-year-old 208 Mhz processor. Yummy. [...]

We’ve come a long way

Ahhhhh…

What happens in Vegas won’t stay in Vegas

I discovered that there is a Nokia Experience store (think: Nerd Toy Store) in Las Vegas. While I’m there, I’m hunting this place down and playing with as many phones as possible.
UPDATE: Fashion Show Mall? Hopefully I won’t be expected to wear a dress while playing with phones.

Spring cleaning

So the big project that was sprung on us this morning was that we were all going to clean out the garage.
I think we’re done now and it’s been interesting. How so many packing peanuts can be hidden underneath stuff is beyond me.
The good news is that I was in control of the high-pressure [...]

Vader attacks!

There’s a whole lot of fail going on here.
I think the most important quote in this entire story is:
Hughes claims he was drinking heavily and can’t remember the assault.
I’m also startled by the statistics at the bottom of the story. I love sci-fi and “Star Wars” as much as the next guy, but apparently [...]

Well, damn

Just when I had my eyes set on the Diamond, my first love—the Sony Ericsson “Paris”—gets leaked big-time.
If this thing delivers all it’s been rumored to deliver, it will have all the Diamond has (up to and including the VGA touchscreen) plus a 5 MP camera, a much larger battery, an expandable memory slot, and [...]

Nerdiness abounds!!

Today HTC announced a new device called the “Touch Diamond.”
While I wouldn’t mind touching some real diamonds, the phone itself is pretty amazing, but does have some possible flaws. The first is the battery. The second is only 4GB of storage with no SD slot. The third is the fact it’s triband [...]
