The BlackBerry Storm. It feels like ages ago since we first broke news of this bad boy, but the release is finally right around the corner. Literally, it’s tomorrow! Need we say more? Heck yeah! We’ve got a pretty substantial review on the device and we’ve even taken the time to compare the Vodafone units [...]

It looks like things are going to be getting pretty ugly in Canada over the coming weeks as both Bell and Telus go to war with the objective of winning the hearts, minds and most importantly, the pocket books of the Canadian consumers who are eagerly anticipating the arrival of the BlackBerry Storm.

Well, what do we have here? It seems as if it’s a never before seen Nokia handset! We don’t have a name to call it other than the internal codename, “Wahoo,” but what we can do is recap some of the specs of the device for you…
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
Dual-band UMTS/HSDPA (850MHz/1900MHz)
There’s two displays, one internal and [...]

We actually weren’t even going to do an unboxing / first impressions post. Seen one HTC Touch Pro, seen ‘em all, right? Wrong, guys. In a rare example of AT&T not scumming down their devices (adding crapware, horrible themes, removing features, blocking stuff), we think they’ve actually made the device better! For starters, one of [...]

Imagine opening up your mobile browser and having the page load almost instantaneously. Or typing in a new link or clicking on a new page and having it load faster than you can say “What’s IRL?” By now, most of you are familiar with the testing that has been going on in Europe with LTE [...]

What better way to keep yourself warm through a long Canadian winter than by being blasted by radiation from a shiny new handset. The latest issue of UR Magazine, free to all Rogers Wireless subscribers, is currently being mailed out all across Canada and is featuring the HTC Touch Diamond. While the device doesn’t appear [...]

Well, this has been a long time comin’, hasn’t it? We just got our grubby mitts on that much-debated Samsung Epix i907 and boy… it’s thick! Counting out the AT&T Tilt, this is probably the thickest phone in their line-up. Now, you do get Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with a touch screen with Haptic feedback, [...]

This is for real, kids. Information has been pouring in left, right, and center from AT&T and RIM ninjas and we can now say for sure that AT&T is planning to launch the Bold on October 27. We repeat, October 27! You know, unless something goes “wrong” with the Bold in the eyes of AT&T [...]
