Reasonably recently, I got a bit of hands-on time with the Nokia X6 – the first device from Nokia with a capacitive (yay!) touchscreen, and also the ‘leader of the pack’ when it comes to their ‘comes with music’ strategy. In this short video, I take a look at the hardware for the X6, and…
Hardware Hands-on: INQ Chat 3G
The INQ Chat 3G – a budget-range device from INQ – is from a company that is a division of the huge multinational that is Hutchison Whampoa (who also happen to own the ‘3‘ networks in various countries). Budget in price this device may be, but budget in features it is not! Social networking-a-plenty is…
Hardware Hands-on: Nokia Booklet 3G
I’ve been on a roll recently – having seen the N900, X6, and E72 up close, I thought it was time I saw the Booklet 3G – which is a departure for Nokia from their usual devices, squarely in to the land of Laptops (well okay, sub-notebooks, or netbooks, or whatever you want to call…
HTC Legend: Software Hands-on
Following on from the time I spent with the HTC Legend on hardware, comes this brief tour around some of the basic elements of the Sense/Android Homescreen, apps, and UI. It’s a very nice little device, as will become obvious from the video: You can find out more about the HTC Legend at the official site here.
HTC Legend: Hardware Hands-on
Wow, it sure is busy at IntoMobile Towers, here in the UK. Devices have been incoming faster than my letterbox will handle, but I’ve also had one very notable arrival – the HTC Legend! This is way ahead of it’s UK release at the end of this month/start of next month (depending on who you…
Nokia E72: Hardware Hands-on
So you know that the E72 is used by two very successful UK businesswomen, but Nokia have also very kindly lent me an E72, in order that I could get a feel for their latest business-centric device – and boy is the hardware nice! What looks like a laser-etched metal backplate complements an excellent piece of…
Review: Plants vs Zombies for iPhone
Tower defense games have been all the rage for the past couple of years. There’s something about setting up towers to defend against wave after wave of increasingly difficult enemies that can be very satisfying. But what happens when you take a tried and true gameplay type and have it developed by a video game…
Review: Thoughts on the Google Nexus One, and Android, from a long time Nokia owner and Symbian user
I’ve been using the Google Nexus One exclusively since February 10th, and after one month of getting to know most, if not all, of the capabilities of my shiny new toy, I figure it’s time to share some thoughts about the device itself, and the software it runs. Now before you dive into this review,…
Verizon’s Motorola Devour Android phone gets unboxing love from us
The Android phone that Megan Fox was showing off in the bathtub during the Superbowl has arrived at IntoMobile headquarters, and we’ve taken a quick little video to show you the goods. We had a chance to put hands on a locked Devour at Mobile World Congress, but this time around we actually have an…
Nexus One not so good at multi-touching
Multi-touch, specifically pinch to zoom, has been one of the few/many (depending on how you look at it) things that was left out of almost all Android devices. Shortly after the launch of the Nexus One, Google turned on the switch to this technology, but it looks like it has a few bugs, and now…
