I’ve had a Droid X for the past two weeks, running alongside my iPhone 4. Short story: I’m not keeping it, primarily because of the size. It’s too darn big. Below, a long look at the crazy world of super sized phones, plus some other observations on life with the Droid X. Be forewarned. Most of [...]

Earlier this week, I handed in my iPhone 4. I’m back on my iPhone 3G at the moment. I’ll move to Android soon. I loved my iPhone 4 in many ways, and I’ll share my thoughts about it below. But the most important feature, the AT&T network it ran on, sucked. Getting Out Of My Contract Apple [...]

The iPhone 4 antenna issue perhaps jumped the shark when Consumer Reports declared this week that it did special testing to prove that the “death grip” really can lead to a loss of signal. Hey, Consumer Reports? Where was your special investigation into how just being on AT&T’s network can lead to a loss of [...]

I’m a phone case fanatic. If my phone’s not in a case, I feel like it’s undressed, unprotected for the world. So the challenge with a new phone is often that the cases lag behind. The iPhone 4, which I got yesterday (mock me or applaud me now) is no exception. A few thoughts for [...]

Remember all the hoopla about how Facebook’s terms and conditions were longer than the US Constitution? Hey, Facebook’s 5,830 words have got nothing on Apple. The latest terms it shoved out to iPhone users are almost three times as long as the Constitution, 11,998 words versus 4,543 words (not including amendments). And it’s even longer [...]

Tried Android and feel it doesn’t measure up to the iPhone? TechCrunch would have you think it’s just because you didn’t try it long enough. It’s not the phone, you see. It’s you. And that’s bull. Fair enough, it’s easy to go from something you know very well and be irritated that something else doesn’t work [...]

Finally, OS3 for the iPhone is out — and against my better judgment, I decided I wanted copy-and-paste now. So I did the iPhone 3.0 upgrade, and now my phone is dead. Like many others, I’m getting the dreaded “unknown error” message. And looking to Apple for guidance, I come away feeling frustrated. After my upgrade [...]

When I first heard about the iPhone I thought maybe, just maybe, I’d get one. Then it came out that there would be no 3G / broadband access built into it. Today, I’m looking at the rave reviews for the device and find myself astounded that it’s not getting a big fat [...]

I’m a Windows Mobile phone user. We are few, but we are proud. I saw a number at SES last week, as our numbers are growing. We nod to each other quietly and share tales of rebooting several times per day. But Windows Mobile users, our day has come! We survived when the BlackBerry crowd went down! See, here’s the deal.
