    It used to be that Nokia ruled the Smartphone market. While I played with and was fluent with Palm OS, UIQ, Blackberry OS, Pocket PC phone and MS Smartphone, for years S60 was my smartphone os of choice. Of course, a lot has changed since then; Palm OS died and was transmogrified into WebOS, which is now on life support. Blackberry OS has hit rough waters and is due for a replacement. Microsoft’s Smartphone OSes became Windows Phone. Nokia transition of S60 to a touch-screen interface was a disaster. They intended to replace S60 with Maemo, which was later renamed Meego. The transition to Meego was delayed and eventually Nokia decided to place their bets on Windows Phone.

    It’s kind of ironic that Nokia and Microsoft are now in bed together since S60 and Windows Mobile competed against each other for years. It would be like if Apple started putting Android on their phones. ...

    Here’s the Motorola Pro+. It’s a 14.4Mbps HSPA+, Android 2.3 phone with a full QWERTY keyboard, 3.1” VGA display, 5MP camera, 4GB storage (2GB available), 512MB and a 1Ghz processor. It's currently available on Bell Mobility. The Pro+ is like the result of a wild night between a Blackberry Bold and an Android phone. it's got its daddy's keyboard its mommy’s personality. I’d name the unholy offspring the Droid Bold. ...

    I just got my Transformer Prime in the mail. Here are my first impressions.

    The Transformer Prime is the first device to ship with Nvidia’s Tegra 3 SoC. Nvidia was the first to ship a dual core ARM SoC and they’re the first again with a quad core.

    Despite the quad core SoC, the Prime is very thin and sleek - there’s nothing clunky about it.

    Besides the quad core SoC you get Android 3.2 (4.0 update is coming soon), 1280x800 10.1” display, 1GB RAM, 32GB storage, BT, WiFi (2.4Ghz only), micro HDMI and a micro SDHC support. ...

    2011 was a tough year for RIM. From missed deadlines, outages, angry shareholders, stampedes and drunken executives one thing’s for sure: Someone’s going to require a lot of therapy. Between all the negative stories, RIM managed to update their entire smartphone lineup with new devices and a new version of the Blackberry OS. First came the Bold 9900/9930, followed by the Torch 9810/9860. Here’s the updated Curve: the 9360. ...

    Here's our review of the Samsung Galaxy S Glide written by Sabesh.



    After reviewing Bell's excellent Motorola XT860, I wished for similar sliders to compete with it, as I'm a fan of physical keyboards. My wish came true when Rogers released the Samsung Galaxy S Glide (reviewed here). It's called the "Samsung Captivate Glide" in the US market. Here are the highlights:

    If you asked me what 2011’s sexiest device was, the Blackberry Bold 9900 would be high on my list. On the other hand, the 9900 isn’t even on most people’s radars because the media has been busy beating RIM to death. The 9900 has a very solid brushed stainless steel frame, an awesome carbon fiber battery cover and the best keyboard ever. I really like the 9900, so I was pretty excited when I found out that RIM was adding the Bold 9790 to the mix.

    Here's our review of the Nokia N9. It's written by our very own HC - No "i" as well as myself (it's a Howard collaboration).

    As a long time Nokia fan, the past few years have been trying times. The last Nokia phones I really loved were the e72 and n86. It used to be that S60 was my favorite smartphone operating system. It had a great browser, multi-tasked very smoothly and had a great camera experience. When the iPhone first launched, Nokia had already sold their 100 millionth S60 device. Of course, a lot has changed since then. S60’s keypad driven interface had a horrible transition to touch screen. To make matters worse, Nokia’s S60 successor Maemo was extremely late to market. ...

    Here’s my review of the new LG Optimus LTE. The Optimus sports a beautiful 4.5” 1280x720 high definition display along with support for LTE. Other specs include a dual core 1.5Ghz processor, Android 2.3.5, 1GB RAM, 2GB storage, micro SDHC, 1830mAh battery and WiFi direct.

    Without a doubt the Optimus best feature is its display. In a word, the display is stunning. I compared the Optimus’ display with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus’ which has identical resolution but is slightly larger (4.65” vs 4.5”). The Optimus sports an IPS LCD display - the same sort of technology used in many high end computer monitors as well as the iPhone 4/4s.

    Here's our review of the Case-Mate TANK for the iPhone 4s written by our very own Sabesh.

    The Tank case from Case-Mate appears to be a collaboration between Sharkeye and Case-Mate. In fact, Sharkeye's shopping link re-directs to Case-Mate. The Tank looks more refined and improved over the original Sharkeye design, which is a good thing, as the Sharkeye case was one of the best protective cases in the market.
