OMG We’re Moto Whores: Hands-On With the KRZR, RAZR XX, and RAZR MAXX

Moto, you never call, and you never write. Then, last night, unannounced, you drop press releases at the end of the day, five minutes before I’m supposed to go to dinner with my high-maintenance girlfriend. (Just kidding, honey!) While we journalists are left outside in the cold, Anal-ysts at Moto HQ’s Annual Analyst Week are…

HTC Wiki Site

T-Mobile MDA and Verizon XV6700 owners know that although their phone is powerful, it may be pretty daunting to set up. Hooking up the mobile internet connection, setting up email and syncing the phone with your Outlook or OS X contacts takes a while, especially if you’re not familiar with the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating…

Motorola’s MOTOFONE

Nintendo DS Browser Review

Josh goes over the Nintendo DS Opera Browser for his DS Lite in a 7 minute review. If you’re interested in how this looks on a real-life system, reading sites like Slashdot, Digg, and Gizmodo—Which looks and runs perfectly fine, says Josh, except for the Youtube videos, because Flash isn’t supported. Loading is kind of…

Delphi Recalls Belkin Boombox, Sort Of

So Delphi, being the prestigious company that they are, is fixing a problem that isn’t completely their fault. The Delphi RoadyXT is an XM receiver that includes a dock connector on the bottom. Apparently this connector is pretty particular to how it is docked and if not done correctly, could easily be damaged. This is…

Nextel Getting Two-Megapixel Cameraphones From Motorola

At the company analyst event in Chicago, Motorola showed off their i880 and i885 cross-platform phones that work on both Sprint’s CDMA and Nextel’s iDEN network. You can interpolate from that that they’ll both support the push-to-talk sound everyone loves to hear. These two phones are the first “fashion” phones for Nextel, but if you…

Motorola H601 and H800 Bluetooth Headsets

In all the hubbub over the new Motorola handsets, these poor Bluetooth headsets have been pushed to the sidelines.

Asus PG191 19-inch LCD Reviewed (Verdict: Great Features, Except For The Display)

The Asus PG191 is aimed at gamers, and thus, has loads of extras like an integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam, stereo speakers with a sub, USB ports and mic/headphone jacks. The only feature that was lacking, unfortunately, was the display. Trusted Reviews says: I found colours to be over-saturated and unnatural and severe banding was also…
