    One of last year’s unexpected hits was the Samsung Galaxy Note. It was basically a Galaxy S II with a stylus, a bigger, higher resolution display and a bigger battery. I had a nice laugh when I first saw it. I wondered, who would want to use such a large phone?

    It screamed ‘my phone is better than your phone because it’s bigger’. I figured it would appeal to guys who wear huge watches, drive showy cars, that sort of thing. Nothing like a good stereotype right? Anyways, if you go out, you’ll notice a lot of girls with Notes. Turns out a Note fits just fine in a purse. Maybe size really doesn’t matter.

    Anyways, it’s been about a year now and a lot has changed. Samsung is now the de-facto power in the Android smartphone space, so there’s a lot of anticipation for the Galaxy Note’s successor. ...

    Looks like you'll be able to use your cell phone in TTC subway stations in less than 2 years.

    Broadcast Australia PTY LTD will be paying the TTC $25 million over 20 years to put service in 61 subway stations.

    While the stations will have phone service there won't be any between stations if they're too far apart.

    Now it will be easier to avoid eye contact on the subway You excited? ...

    Cutting Edge: Our review of the Motorola RAZR HD LTE

    Starting with the HTC One X back in April, Android flagships have a few common features: A 1.5Ghz dual core Snapdragon S4 processor, LTE, 4.7”+ screens, 8MP cameras, NFC and 16GB+ built-in storage. Now Motorola throws their hat in the ring with the RAZR HD LTE.

    While I appreciate how detailed the RAZR HD LTE’s name is it a bit of a mouthful. Then again I guess I should be happy it’s not called the Motorola 2012 RAZR HD LTE NFC 8MP KEVLAR 4.7 2500MAH.

    With it’s sharp edges and the exposed weave on its Kevlar back the RAZR has a very striking and memorable design.

    Now if you look at the RAZR’s specifications you’ll notice that they’re very similar to the ATRIX HD LTE I reviewed recently. Indeed, looking at the spec sheets the 3 main differences are the bigger screen (4.5” LCD vs 4.7” Super AMOLED), NFC and bigger battery (2530mAh vs 1780mAh). Bigger and more or better right? ...

    T-Mobile just announced the Windows Phone 8 powered Nokia Lumia 810. I'm not sure how the 810 is different from the 820. Looking at the picture the design appears to be slightly different. Compared to the pictures of the 820 I took at the Nokia launch the 810 looks like it has harder edges whereas the 820's are more rounded.

    Like 820 the 810 has a 4.3" WVGA (800x480) OLED display. Details on the processor, storage, RAM weren't mentioned.

    Rapid Berry just posted some specs for an upcoming device codenamed 'Aristo'.

    Hardware wise it's quite a beast. Qualcomm APQ 8064 quad core SOC with LTE. The 8064 has 4 Krait cores (the LTE Galaxy S III has 2 Krait cores) along with an Adreno 320 GPU. 4.65" 1280x720 OCTA Glass OLED display. I wonder if it's the display from the Galaxy Nexus.

    There will be North American and Euro versions both of which support LTE. A CDMA version for Verizon wasn't mentioned.

    Maybe, maybe not. I wouldn't count Charlie out until the SoftBank vote is passed by the shareholders.

    It's a heck of a lot cheaper to use your US phones here than it is for us to use our Canadian phones down there.
