Samsung Galaxy Note Review (Part One)

Previously unknown to common man, Samsung has created its own multi-category device in the Galaxy Note.

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.
