We’ve been using the Galaxy Nexus as our main phone now for a few weeks now, and for the most part it is a great experience. But, as with any relationship, as you spend more time with the person or thing, quirks naturally arise. In the run-up to December 8th, when the device will be widely [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
As we get closer to the October/November release of Ice Cream Sandwich it is becoming more and more apparent that Samsung’s Nexus Prime, the third in the pure Android Nexus series, is going to be the first phone released with Android 4.0. From a leaked .xml document on Samsung Mobile’s website, we can infer a [...]
Samsung is now known these days for their Galaxy S series of Android devices.

Now, going forward, each product will be remanded under a [...]
Late last week it was revealed that Bell will be upgrading several Android devices to OS 2.3 sometime this Summer. The list included the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Galaxy S Vibrant, Incredible S, Desire Z and the ATRIX. There is no definite date of when the upgrade will be taking place but Samsung Canada has just [...]
This is the one. Recently re-tooled, made skinny and lighter (566g) than the iPad 2 (603g), this is the first anticipated Android Honeycomb tablet. Sure, the Asus eee Transformer has been getting some great press, but mostly for its low cost. The Galaxy Tab 10.1, launching in July in Canada, will sport either a white [...]
During the Nexus S launch event this morning I had a quick conversation with Samsung VP Paul Brennan who stated the incredibly thin Android-powered Samsung Galaxy S II will be released in Canada. They are still working our the carrier details but he’s optimistic that it’ll launch either really late Q2, but more likely early [...]
The Nexus S will be available soon via TELUS, Bell, Rogers, Videotron, WIND, Mobilicity, Fido and Koodo Mobile. We are still waiting on official price plans but we were invited to a media preview that’s scheduled for April 14th (although the launch date is still unconfirmed). The Nexus S will come with the latest Android [...]
