Since I “upgraded” from my HTC Wizard device to a Nokia feature phone (XpressMusic 5310 on T-Mobile) a question has been bubbling in my mind. Do high-end devices like iPhone, BlackBerry, S60, Palm, and Windows Mobile really bring more functionality and solve the issues we believe they will?
So far my experience is mixed, but [...]

So hell finally has frozen over.  Microsoft and Nokia announced on Aug. 22nd that Windows Live software is available to S60 users in select countries.  Windows Live software includes access to Live Messenger, Hotmail, Spaces and other Windows Live Internet properties.

Or so Engadget is reporting. For around $600 on AT&T, you’ll be able to get your own Apple iPhone at the end of the month.  Will it be worth it?  Who knows, but at least it’ll look cool in your hand.
Personally, I’m not impressed with the device but I’m sure that the iPhone will have [...]

According to msmobiles.com, Samsung is being sued by RIM over its naming of its BlackJack Windows Smartphone.  Hard to imagine that RIM feels the need to sue over half a name.
I was behind RIM as it battled NTP over their ridiculous IP lawsuits a year ago, believing that they were wrongfully brought against the Canadian [...]
