Judging from our own (lousy) experience with voice dialing over Bluetooth headsets, this Darfon model with its own built-in dialpad may just be a great idea.

Opera’s Flash-Replacement For Cellphones

[UPDATE: This ain’t no Flash plugin. Read on.] It’s no secret that our gold standard for mobile browsers is full Youtube support. Apparently, that ain’t happening because Flash is a CPU and mem hog.
