Bell Sonim XP5520 Bolt Review (Video)

The Sonim Bolt is no ordinary cell phone. While it can’t be defined as a smartphone it makes up for it by being a strongphone, uncharacteristically robust in a market that often favours form over function. Bell is launching the Bolt as its flagship push-to-talk device alongside the retrofitted Samsung Galaxy S II and BlackBerry [...]

Revisited: the Motorola Atrix

It’s been nearly a year since the Motorola Atrix was announced at CES, and ten months since it was released in Canada. At the time it was running Motoblur on top of Android 2.2 Froyo, and while the hardware blew us away, the software definitely did not. Since then, three things have happened: 1) It [...]

Bell LG Optimus Net Review

There is no masking the truth: lower-end Android phones tend come with lacklustre specs. So when a company releases an affordable, well-made Android phone that has decent specs, people tend to sit up and listen. The LG Optimus One was the first such device, and its follow-up, the LG Optimus Net, continues that tradition. At [...]

Bell Motorola Pro+ Review (Video)

The market for BlackBerry clones isn’t as brisk as it once was. Companies like Samsung, Motorola and HTC have, over the years, dabbled in the portrait QWERTY space, outfitting Android with various incarnations of keyboard-specific support. It is no wonder, then, that as BlackBerry releases their own hardware and software update, culminating in the Bold [...]

Bell LG Optimus 4G LTE Review (Video)

There is something wonderful about a company breaking new ground. Of the myriad Android reviews over the past few weeks, the LG Optimus LTE is probably the biggest wildcard. On paper the phone has everything: a dual-core processor, HD screen, LTE connectivity. In fact it’s the only device outside the US to have both a 720p screen [...]

Galaxy Nexus Review Part 2: Software Overview and Final Thoughts

Let’s start from the beginning. Take the phone out of your pocket. It’s clean, black, unassuming. A soft white LED pulses at you. You grip the phone firmly in your right hand — it is comfortable, secure. Slide your thumb to the power button, its tension satisfying, just the right amount of feedback. The black screen [...]

Galaxy Nexus Review Part 1: Hardware Overview (Video)

Good things come to those who wait, and we’ve been waiting a very long time. The Galaxy Nexus is not only the most anticipated Android device of 2011, but perhaps the most desired smartphone of any kind this year. Google and Samsung have created a blank slate on which to showcase Android 4.0 Ice Cream [...]

Review: Getting a Grip on the Keyboard Enabled LG Quantum (Windows Phone)

The LG Optimus Quantum smartphone is the only Windows Phone 7 device that sports a keyboard. At least the only one released here in Canada with a keyboard. The design of the Quantum is very typical of previous Windows Phone/Mobile devices with keyboards. It’s a side-slider, meaning the keyboard slides out to the side and [...]

Video: Quick look at the upcoming Samsung Wave

The Samsung Wave is coming to Canada soon (via Bell) and we got a very quick walk through of it today. The video is below but the one of the major highlights is the 3.3-inch Super AMOLED display. Samsung is hammering home the screen quality and the Wave has a resolution of 480 x 800 [...]

HTC Legend arrives at Bell… no-contract price is $50 more than Virgin

Right on schedule from what we said a few weeks ago, Bell has released the Android-powered HTC Legend today. There’s something odd about this release though. First it was a bit bizarre that Virgin Mobile released the OS 2.1 device before parent-company Bell. The Virgin price plans are really impressive: $79.99 on a 3-year and [...]
