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 [...]
Smartphone Gift Guide: Rogers
This winter, it’s going to be hard to choose from so many devices, so we’re breaking it down by network. Rogers users have a lot of choice, but we’d recommend one device over all others: Winner: Samsung Galaxy S II LTE This phone has all the great things we want in a smartphone: a gorgeous Super [...]
iPhone 4S Review (Video)
When the bar is set as high as Apple has kept it at for the last four years, nothing short of a complete redesign would have satiated the teeming masses. When the iPhone 4S was announced it was greeted by some with steely ambivalence (“I’ll wait and see”) and by others with outright dismissal (“I’m [...]
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)
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 [...]
Video: BlackBerry Curve 9360 Review
The BlackBerry Curve series was the golden goose of RIM’s surge into the mainstream. With the 8310 becoming one of the top-selling smartphones of all time, it’s not uncommon to still see them floating around the streets of major cities, emerging from pockets and belt clips. With its success came the sequels, and there were [...]
Video: Sony Tablet S Review
Sony has had quite a year. From the contemptible handling of the Playstation Network hacking to the success of its new Xperia line of Android phones, it would be easy to accuse the company of taking its eye off the ball, to use a weathered metaphor. When they announced two Android tablets, then known as [...]
Review: Rogers BlackBerry Torch 9810
My first smartphone was a Pearl 8100, replaced shortly thereafter by a Bold 9000 which I used until its keys were so worn out I could barely tell the letters apart. But by then I was so accustomed to the phone it was an extension of me. The Bold 9000 launched with OS 4.6, and [...]
