With so many good old and new phones out there, sometimes it’s tough to keep track of what’s popular.

Check out some of the answers below. @IntoMobile galaxy note and my optimus 2x for gaming and graphics. If the note was tegra powered it would be so more awsum — Phill … Read more

RIM CEO: We need ‘laser focus’
Fresh off the first showing of BlackBerry 10, Research In Motion CEO Thorsten Heins outlined his vision for the company moving forward. After holding the top spot for about three months, Heins said the company needed “laser focus” in order to be successful. During RIM’s last earnings call, there were some rumors that it would be abandoning the consumer market. This isn’t true, as Heins said he was talking about the company’s disperate consumer services that weren’t at the core of what BlackBerry does. The consumer market is a valuable … Read more

BlackBerry 10: What you’re saying
We got our first look at the BlackBerry 10 platform at BlackBerry World this morning and we’re torn on it mainly because we can’t really use it fully. We got a taste of what’s to come but it’s too early to judge it now. Still, that doesn’t mean people aren’t entitled to their opinions, so we used Storify to pull in some of the online reaction to BlackBerry 10. The reaction ran the gamut, as some loved the fresh look while others thought it was still lagging behind the iPhone … Read more

Will BlackBerry 10 save RIM?
Research In Motion just showed off its next-generation operating system and BlackBerry 10 could be quite nice on a phone. The intuitive user interface, excellent mobile keyboard and interesting camera software may finally bring BlackBerry users into the modern smartphone age. I fear it may be too late to reverse RIM’s slide, though. “We’re taking our time to make sure we get this right,” RIM CEO Thorsten Heins about BlackBerry 10 during the company’s largest conference. It showed off some teaser videos, demonstrated a few new features of BlackBerry 10 … Read more

RIM BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha hands-on [photos]
Research in Motion showed off its BlackBerry 10 operating system at BlackBerry World today and there was a lot of excitement because it delivered a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device to those attending. We spent a little time with it and you can check out the pictures below, unfortunately they weren’t allowing videos. The strange thing about the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha device is that it’s not running BlackBerry 10, it’s running a stripped down version of BlackBerry OS 2.0. I know what you’re thinking, cue the sad trombone but … Read more

LG says it’s now ready for smartphone battle
Life’s not that good for LG’s mobile arm right now, as the company has fallen from its third-largest cell phone manufacturer slot, it has been outpaced and outclassed in the smartphone market while also being squeezed in the entry-level side. In a meeting at its Seoul headquarters, the company admitted its failings but believes it is now well-positioned to fight its way back to the top. LG was really hitting its stride a few years ago with its feature phone portfolio, as devices like the Chocolate were well-received and generated … Read more

Seoul and smartphones
Annyeong Chingu. I’ve been in Seoul for the last few days visiting friends, checking out the sites and meeting with some of the largest companies in mobile. Needless to say, it’s been an interesting time and smartphones and mobile technology have played a large role so far. Korea is somewhat rare in that most of its carriers use CDMA-based technologies for its networks, so getting connected for a visitor is not as easy as just bringing an unlocked phone and popping in a local SIM. Seoul is a huge metropolis, … Read more

You remember the GroupMe Grill from SXSW where you could get free beer and grilled-cheese sandwiches? Well, it turned into a battleground of competitive eating today, as Takeru Kobayashi pounded down 13 grilled cheeses in a minute. It was simultaneously the best/worst thing I’ve seen at the conference by far. The GroupMe folk were working in combination with the RecordSetter crew by making a new world record on how many grilled cheese sandwiches could be eaten in 60 seconds. The first round involved GroupMe employees and onlookers. The record on … Read more
