BlackBerry Curve 9380 Review

Nostalgia is a funny thing. Though last year I left my BlackBerry behind for the shinier, app-centric shores of iOS and Android, I still recall my experiences fondly. There are times I miss the great keyboard, push email and how easy it is to compose lengthy soliloquies like it’s nothing at all. I retain a [...]

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 [...]

WIND Mobile Nokia 500 Review

We know, we know. It’s hard getting excited for the Nokia 500′s of the world when there are so many smartphones to choose from. But everyone has a mom, brother or cousin who just doesn’t care about pixel density, megahertz and aperture size. Often, these folks want a phone to, you know, call people and, occasionally, [...]

TELUS HTC Amaze Review (Video)

On paper, the HTC Amaze is our dream phone. Rounded and comfortable, dual-toned (silver and black) with a gorgeous 4.3″ qHD display, dedicated camera and camcorder buttons to accent its no-lag 8MP camera, a 1.5Ghz dual-core processor with enough RAM to feed an army. There is definitely a lot to like about the Amaze, which [...]

Kobo Vox Hands-on: a cheap tablet in more ways than one (Video)

How does a $200 Android tablet sound? Well, we tend to tread lightly around the topic — there is a lot of junk out there — but when a venerable company like Kobo (owned by Indigo Books), whose products we already love, announce a tablet in the guise of an eBook reader, we jumped all [...]

TELUS Sony Ericsson Xperia ray Review

The term ‘mini’ is almost always a pejorative. It’s a synonym for small, weak, underpowered. So it’s probably a good thing that Sony Ericsson decided not to call the Xperia ray the Xperia arc mini, even though, for all intents and purposes, that’s what it is. In reality, the Xperia ray is an extremely capable phone in a [...]

Wind Mobile Alcatel One Touch 908 Review

There is no doubt that Android is scalable — from tiny phones to large tablets the OS has been shoehorned into anything with a screen. So it should come as no surprise that manufacturers are taking the free software and putting into devices in the same price range as some feature phones. The Alcatel OT [...]

TELUS Samsung Galaxy S II X Review (Video)

It is likely not a coincidence that the Samsung Galaxy S II X is debuting on Telus mere weeks before the debut of a new iPhone. Its most stately device since the massive HTC Desire HD, the carrier has lacked “superphones” and released devices meant for the back-to-school mainstream consumer segment. While there is nothing [...]
