Today saw T-Mobile finally retiring the venerable G1, forerunner to the ongoing Android revolution. I’ve been using a G1 since launch, so this is an emotional moment for me. Let’s just take a quick trip down memory lane out of respect for a solid phone.
The HTC G1 had its first peek in technical drawings back [...]

Another day, another Froyo build. Now that Android 2.2 build FRF85 — i.e. the big one that got pushed over-the-air to every Nexus One this week — is out on the prowl, Google’s taken it upon itself to release yet another update, FRF91. We’ve heard from a few tipsters that it’s also going out OTA, [...]

Thinking of selling your Droid Incredible? If you’re a mob-boss, peruser of the freaky-deaky, or someone who visits websites with sensitive data on their handset, you might want to hold off.
Turns out, the Droid Incredible is snapping shots of the sites you visit for use with the built-in Bookmarks widget. That, in itself, isn’t a [...]

Sweet! Updates! Surely this patch fixes some of the issues (shorter battery life, roaming oddities, etc) that Hero owners have been having since the move to 2.1, right? Not exactly. [...]

I’m one of the earlier adapter to T-Mobile G1. After almost two years of use and if given the choice again I probably would not get the G1. Initially all was swell. Fast, open source Android platform, multitask capability. After gone through several OTA firmware updates, things started to get worse with each updates.
I’ve downloaded [...]

I bought the Palm Pixi when SPRINT first brought it on to their network back in November 2009. I was absolutely excited about the thought of having a touchscreen phone that didn’t seem as intimidating as every other PDA/Smartphone I had touched. In playing with the phone for the first few days I began to [...]
