As you know, we jumped on the story of T3’s “secret” 01 Phone project when they first posted a mysterious entry about it a few months back. And we were delighted to learn that they actually had a desire to produce it, working with design firm The Alloy, and asking interested parties to sign a [...]
In a word: Probably not. Ok, fine, that’s two words. And actually, the 5800 has some pretty tasty specs: 3.2″ 640×360 touchscreen, 3.2MP camera with dual-LED flash, autofocus & Carl Zeiss lens, GPS, WiFi, a proper headphone jack and a microSD slot with an 8GB card tucked in there…unlocked for under $400 when it goes [...]
So, if you’ll remember, we picked up on T3’s fake 01 Phone website and story when it first hit a while back. Seems that it was a nicely-rendered plea to cellphone manufacturers to get off their butts and put all the stuff that’s available, technologically, into a single device that gives users everything we want.

I would love to report on the greatness of the iPhone 3G’s 2.1 firmware update, but I can’t, because for the last hour-plus, the little status bar showing backup progress has been running. My backup has never taken an hour. I also don’t think that the 9GB of data on my iPhone would even come [...]

Use of bioplastic eliminates harmful substances from the manufacturing process & thus the environment (ultimately) like lead, cadmium and mercury. As a bonus, you can heat it up and pour melted butter and salt over it to enjoy [...]
“Right! Now listen up, double-0-7, because this mobile has one or two rather special features!”
Ahh, he may be gone, but Desmond Llewelyn will never be forgotten as the perpetually-mistrusting Q, now, will he? I can just hear him in my head explaining the Sony Ericsson C902 Titanium Silver edition phone that’ll be prominently featured in [...]
Start writing that letter to Santa, or at least to his people. According to the Daily Mail in the UK, Apple will release an iPhone Nano later this year, in time for Christmas, that will have a form factor similar to the just-about-to-be-revised iPod Nano and a somewhat stripped-down feature set. They continue that it [...]
Outside the Deer Park Apple Store today, there were about 150 people in line already when I got there at 7:45am. Right behind me was a family from Israel…I didn’t really talk to them, so I’m not sure if they lived here too, were just visiting, etc. But they were obviously pretty excited about getting [...]
So there’s this company called Google that’s been working on a (sort of) open mobile phone platform thingie called Android and they say it’s gonna be a big deal. And when I say “they” I don’t mean the “they” who typically say things. You know, like “They say that you can catch the bird flu from [...]
