Don’t Get Scammed For Your Mobile Number, Like I Did

  I wanted to warn you all about a scam I almost fell for this morning.  I saw a bunch of friends on Facebook all had posts saying they signed up for a summer promotion from Ray-Ban to get free sunglasses.  I know it sounded too good to be true but come on, it was [...]

BlackBerry Bold 9780 Review

    This blog post is quite late but none the less still appropriate.  I’ve had the BlackBerry 9780 for a few months now and want to share my thoughts on it.  This isn’t going to be a traditional review like most others, I’m just going to tell you what I like and dislike about [...]

Shorthand Mobile Offers Data On Feature Phones Via SMS

Back in the early summer somewhere near the beggining of June I was in San Diego for the Uplinq conference put on by Qualcomm.  I was introduced to Craig Braun and thought the company he works for Shorthand Mobile has something very interesting going on.  They are brining data usage to people that may not [...]

Can The BlackBerry Gmail Mobile App Run At Push Speeds?

So I’m a huge BlackBerry fan.  I have been for a while now and used a BlackBerry as my primary device until my Nexus One got Gingerbread.  In that time I’ve switched from AT&T to T-Mobile and now back to AT&T.  The bottom line is I don’t have a BB plan on my account any [...]

Truphone Now Supports BlackBerry

I’ve been writing about Truphone since 2007 and I suspect using it even longer.  I was called the biggest Truphone fan by Ewan MacLeod back in 2007 or 2008.  I wish I could remember when they launched but boy oh boy was it amazing back then. Fast forward 5 years (I’m guessing) and you know [...]

Nokia E73 Mode Review

I was lucky enough to get invited to a party and video shoot highlighting the Nokia E73 recently (thanks to WOM World/Nokia).  I was given an E73 Mode to review and review it is what I’m doing.  I’m totally enthralled with this device, for the most part it’s everything I need it to be. I’m [...]

Why isn’t there IM in Google Maps Rant

Warning, I’m about to RANT: I’m a huge fan of Google Maps.  It’s really a great stand alone app and it keeps getting better but I’m amazed that when they added Latitude they did not include (even just a basic form of) instant messaging with your Latitude friends. Latitude shows you were your friends are [...]

emoze saves me time Monday mornings

I am a pretty heavy email user and Mondays seem to be all about clearing out and responding to 2 days worth of email, that is until I started using mobile email. Now I am able to read my email over the weekend (if I’m inclined) and have it marked as read back in my [...]

Nokia E72 lets you Leave Your Point & Shoot Camera at Home

So I’m very excited about the E72.  It’s going to rock, blah blah blah, I can talk about it for hours.  I think it will change a few things for many people.  It looks like your average QWERTY keyboard phone, it will have good email (I use emoze), it will hopefully include Ovi Contacts (but [...]

emoze provides rock solid push email

So as many of my readers know emoze is a client of mine and I tend to write about them a great deal.  We are going to be launching an emoze blog very soon so there will be a great deal less posting about emoze on here.  This post is all about emoze but it’s [...]
