The i8910 – the day after

Now that the orgasmic explosion of excitement is over (ok, this is a lie; I’m still pretty excited), what do all the various features and functions of the i8910 mean?

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 [...]

My predictions for MWC 2009

On a personal note, I wish it was still referred to as 3GSM.  Sounds a lot cooler than MWC.  Especially when you learn what “MWC” stands for–”Mobile World Congress.”  Sounds like white people in suits.  Sounds like no fun.
Anyway, last year’s “MWC’ was pretty good.  Not great, but good.  It saw the intro of Sony [...]

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 [...]

But just as I say that…

…Something else comes along to blow away my ideas.
I was set on the N85 just a few hours ago, but information has surfaced that makes me wonder otherwise.
One of the great cell phone resources I have is a Russian site called Mobile-Review.  The owner has inside information into a lot of companies and loves to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s gonna be mine

I placed a preorder on Spore just a few minutes ago at GameStop.  I haven’t preordered anything in a long time, but I figure Spore is worth it.  I’ve waited three years for this game and I’m not going to drive all around town wasting gas, looking for it on the 8th.
That game is going [...]

Is it wrong to be in love with a battery?

Well, I don’t care, because I am.
My Nokia N82’s battery is AMAZING.  Absolutely great.  Today, I’ve used WLAN, checked e-mail, used Bluetooth, checked Websites, placed calls, sent texts, listened to music, listened to the FM radio, taken pictures, used the Xenon flash…possibly more.  So far, no bars have been depleted from the battery.
That doesn’t mean [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
