Our very own HC - NO "i" just handed my his review for the ZTE F160. No, it doesn't have a 5" 4K display, 16 core processor or 8GB of RAM with dodeca-band LTE support. Instead, it's a feature phone (AKA dumbphone). Here it is:

The Nokia Lumia 925 looks like a lower-cost refresh of their previous flagship the 920. Looking at the specs the 925 gains some metal on the body and a removable back cover but now comes in a 16GB version - the 32GB is a Vodafone exclusive, no word which version we'll be getting here. The built-in wireless charging is now via an optional cover.

Blackberry Q10 arrives today

Wed, 01 May 2013 08:35:00 -0500

The Blackberry Q10 arrives today. For BB who have been waiting for a device with a physical keyboard this is the one they were waiting for.

It's kind of funny that as recently as yesterday the Bold 9900 was actually the keyboard Blackberry to get. So, before today there's basically been a vacuum in the market because really, there was nothing else to buy.

However, there are a number of alternatives like the HTC One and Sony Xperia ZL with similar

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 19:00:00 -0500

Three years ago, when thought of a high end Android phone, the first name that would come to most people�s mouths would have been HTC. HTC has always had a heritage of releasing great hardware. While people were ooh-ing and aww-ing over Blackberry Bold�s, HTC was releasing monsters like the HTC TyTN II. In fact, even though HTC hasn�t been doing so well in the marketplace lately, they�ve never stopped releasing awesome hardware.

Here�s their latest, the HTC One. A phone with
