I was sent over a HUAWEI CDMA-based C228s phone, aptly known as the “Bayan wireless landline.” With GSM being the primary network used for mobile phones in Asia, CDMA still has its niche. In the Philippines, the wireless landline concept has become a favorite among vendors and stall owners that don’t have access to a […]

You know, I’ve been reviewing gadgets for the past 5 years - it may be considered a long time for some, but highly unlikely to reach veteran review status soon. The thing with reviewing devices is that one tends to get stuck in the game of tech specs where the premise of “mine is bigger […]

We’ve previously talked about the Verzio Duplii and Twinn, one of the more elegant dual SIM solutions to come out in Asia. At CES 2008, we are seeing dual SIM smartphones - like this one from Haier.

With barely an iPhone update from today’s Keynote, Steve Jobs might just have to announce the 3G iPhones at a later date.

Some consumers are the perfect target for things like this. Nokia sent over an email a few days ago exposing how owners of NOKLA phones are sending them to NOKIA service centers for repairs.

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Motorola release a music phone. The new ROKR E8 combines what we’ve seen with the LG Chocolate line and the iPhone - a smooth glass like surface to give off the sleek look. As you use the phone in music or phone mode, the UI lights up pertinent […]

UPDATE: Motorola has announced an upgrade to the W230, called the W388. It is an incremental upgrade to the low end phone, now sporting a VGA camera and a little bit more memory.
As an aside, the “W” naming scheme is a bit of a throw off as one might think that this is a Sony […]

So you’ve always wanted to be Darth Vader. You’ve probably done this several times - walk up to a motion sensitive door and flick your hand as the glass door slides open. Well, Windows Mobile 7 does exactly that. No, not open doors - but the built in camera does more than take your photos. […]
