I’m going to keep this pretty short just because the unit is like, uh, almost identical to the GSM one we tore apart and reviewed a little while back. The HTC Shift is coming stateside, as you all know by now. It’s going to be available starting today, and is a Sprint unit. So besides [...]

Besides the long list of people that waited and waited for the HTC Shift to finally be released, any BGR reader will know our own personal fascination with it. Considering how much we’ve craved, wished, hoped, and wanted, we’re going to take you into a full review of the HTC Shift. Everything possible will be [...]

We were fortunate enough to preview the Sidekick Slide way back in July, and for the most part, our opinions and views haven’t changed. Instead of just doing a review on the Sidekick Slide, we’re going to pin it head-to-head with the Sidekick LX. For each category you’ll see our opinions on both of the [...]

We’ll admit it — we are AIM fanatics over here. Yeah, we mingle with Yahoo, Google Talk, and MSN a bit, but we live and breathe AOL Instant Messenger. As technology evolves and networks get faster, the old black & white text IM just won’t do anymore, so we thought it would be nice to [...]

What do you get when you add USA 3G bands (850MHz / 1900MHz WCDMA)  to one of the most feature-rich phones on the market? Ah, you get the Nokia N95-3, and we’ve got it in the flesh in our hands-on studio! If you name something, this bad boy has got it. From Wi-Fi, to the [...]

 
We told you our thoughts on AT&T’s new BlackBerry 8820, and how Wi-Fi simply wasn’t a big deal for us. On AT&T there is no UMA functionality, and it currently can’t tie in with your corporate phone system (Avaya IP Office, Cisco, etc.). The only use of Wi-Fi is for data, like email or web [...]

LG has a sense of style around them. The Chocolate, the Prada phone, and the Shine immediately come to mind when we think of them. The new LG Trax takes styling cues from all over the manufacturers diverse line up. It’s glossy, it has a metal kind of vibe to it, and it looks real [...]

Ready for the Helio Fin review? Hit it, after the jump!

The Nokia 5700 Xpress Music phone utilizes a twisting base design that lets you access the music player, camera, and regular numeric keypad just by twisting the lower portion. What’s great is that when this is done, the corresponding application will launch based upon what the phone thinks you want to do. Obviously, when you [...]

Yeah, I know we got you excited yesterday, and were complete asses for not posting information on it, but what can we say, it was a busy day! The Sidekick Slide is an upcoming Danger/T-Mobile Sidekick that’s rumored to launch this year in Q3. We’re not sure what sort of launch plans T-Mobile has in [...]

Helio’s new Ocean handset has got people breaking through the glass! Well, almost. The demand for the phone is so high that the soon-to-be-opened New York City Helio store has begun selling the Ocean in addition to the other 4 flagship locations. They aren’t there all day, but if you catch them at the right [...]

 
Finally, the man himself, Mr. Just Blaze took time out of his busy schedule to send us over the much awaited OQO 2 video review! Check out Part 1 here for now, Part 2 will be up in the next couple minutes!

UPDATE: Make sure to take a look at Part 2 which is available [...]

We recently jacked someone for got some hands on time with the new Novatel Wireless Merlin XU870. This bad boy runs off of full HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/GPRS and supports all 5 bands of service. After opening the package I was happy to see how compact the device was.  No giant nub hanging out of your laptop with [...]
