by Rob Jackson on December 11th, 2009

If you didn’t already know, the Acer Liquid A1 is already available in the good old UK and it really is a nice looking phone. Resting on a 1GHz snapdragon processor how can you complain? Easily, if you don’t live in the UK I suppose. But Americans will be relieved to know that the [...]

Phones are the Face of the Carrier

by Robfactory on November 19th, 2009

There was a time when mobile carriers would try to distinguish themselves based on the service they provided and their pricing plans.
“The times are a-changin’,” and ever since the iPhone, mobile carriers have tried to make phones the face of their company.
AT&T = iPhone

When most people think of the iPhone they also think of [...]

Dell Mini 3i Unboxed

by Rob Jackson on November 13th, 2009

Latin America might have Speedy Gonzales but it seems China has Speedy-T0-Unbox-The-Mini-3i-Zales some pretty quick characters, too. Just a few moments after we unleashed news of the Dell Mini 3i hitting China and Brazil (Speedy Gonzales was/is actually Mexican), one Chinese Blogger has already removed the phone from what seems like retail-ready packaging:

Are you [...]

by Rob Jackson on November 13th, 2009

Dell’s entry into the smartphone market has been expected, and although once “highly anticipated”, excitement has wavered. They’re suffering the same sort of condition that seems to have overtaken Garmin’s smartphone intentions but not all is lost. At some point the Dell Mini 3i will land on AT&T but first, and in the coming [...]

Dell’s Mini 3ix hits the States

by Robfactory on November 7th, 2009

Earlier today the FCC approved Dell’s first Android phone, the Mini 3ix. AT&T is expected to carry Dell’s Mini 3iX in Q1 2010.

Fake Steve: The Issue With Android (Rebuttal)

by Rob Jackson on October 20th, 2009

I’m not going to hide that we’re Android enthusiasts and while we try to be as objective as possible, we certainly take more of a liking to Android than, well… any other mobile platform in the history of the universe. That being said, we understand there is an approaching “problem” with Android regarding potential [...]
