Smartphones Gift Guide: TELUS
Not to be the last to the party, we are bringing you our picks for the best smartphones currently available on Telus. Until recently, Telus was thought to have a fairly underwhelming choice of smartphones but they’ve recently augmented that with a couple high-end bangers. Check out our list below: Winner: HTC Amaze 4G The [...]
Smartphone Gift Guide: Bell Mobility
This year Bell seems to have had more exclusive Android phones than any other company. They seem to get them first, and keep them longest. They are also currently the only carrier with the Galaxy Nexus, they were the first with the Galaxy S II and the only one with a HD-LTE device in the [...]
Stuff We Like: Nokia MD11 portable speaker
We continue our Stuff We Like series with an inexpensive portable speaker that actually sounds great. Nokia makes a lot of accessories and peripherals, including headphones and Bluetooth headsets. But one thing they aren’t necessarily known for are portable speakers. The MD11 is a single — but stereo-capable — speaker that is completely portable and [...]

Windows Phone Mango review: 3 ways that it’s awesome
When Microsoft decided to create a new mobile operating system, it had a few key things in mind: keep it simple, fast and touch-friendly. Windows Phone 7 looked nothing like the desktop-emulating Windows Mobile that it had been shoehorning onto touchscreen devices for years. It offered a usage model big on expansive, horizontal frames, swiping [...]
TELUS Samsung Galaxy S II X Review (Video)

While there is nothing [...]
