Like to leave your impressions of places you’ve been to for the world to hear?  Then you’ll love Voice Mark, which lets you create geotagged audio recordings of any spot on the map, as well as listen to those made by others.
GeoGraffiti calls each recording a “voice mark,” which is essentially a short phone message [...]

Talk about piling up the Android releases.  That’s definitely the case with Motorola, who has officially announced the Motorola Devour, their latest smartphone running Google’s open-source OS.  Set for release under Verizon, it will be the carrier’s first Motoblur-equipped device.
As it did in the Motorola Cliq, MotoBlur will bring its unique and customizable content delivery [...]

Described as a “business partner with a conscience,” the Sony Ericsson Aspen received its introduction yesterday.  What’s up with that “conscience” thing?  Well, the business-oriented smartphone comes in as a part of Sony Ericsson’s GreenHeart line, which primps environmentally-conscious features on top of your regular productivity package.
Taking a page right out of the S60-based E-Series, [...]

Low-end music phones are among the most popular market segments, as they combine the two features most people would bother carrying a handheld for – phone calls and mobile tunes.  The LG GM205 candybar fits squarely in that niche, bringing just enough looks and features to make it of interest to younger users on a [...]

We already know Windows Mobile 7 is launching at MWC 2010 (February 15 to 18).  What we’d really like to know, though, is if Microsoft is really following Google’s lead with the Nexus One.  If you’re inclined to believe Spanish website MuyComputer, it’s “confirmed.”
Hearsay and rumors are always fun, so we’ll bite.  According to the [...]

A simple phone for simple needs – that pretty much sums up the Nokia 2320 experience.  Available from AT&T as a prepaid handset, it’s expectedly basic, albeit a little too much in fact.
Physically, it’s a moderately attractive candybar device.  It has smooth lines, simple controls and a largely plastic build – very usable, though probably [...]

The Samsung Shark 2 S5550 is the most sophisticated of the three models in the new Shark line, bringing a few high-end touches to complement the mid-range handset’s feature set.  A few years ago, this slider would have been considered high-end; today, it still sounds like a mighty good device on paper.
Physically, it shares the [...]

There may not be Flash on the iPhone, but all the best Flash games are finding their way to the platform anyway.  That’s exactly the case with Crush The Castle, a seriously addictive Flash title that’s been ported to the handheld.
Gameplay is as uncomplicated as you can make it: you load up a Medieval trebuchet [...]

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 is only the second Windows Mobile phone from the manufacturer.  Like its predecessor, it comes with upmarket hardware, quality build and plenty of promise.  Whether it lives up to that promise, though, remains to be seen.
Physically, the side-slider sports angled corners and sharp lines, which makes it easily identifiable among [...]

Dual-stick, top-down survival shooters literally swamped down on the App Store late last year and continues to do so through the start of 2010.  The just-released Guerilla Bob joins the ever-growing roster, but quickly sets itself apart with a polish that most titles can only dream of.
Like other games in the genre, it relies on [...]

It’s almost 2010 and you still haven’t jailbroken your iPhone?  Good for you.  Well, not really.  Even with the dismissed warranty, losing Apple restrictions can help you gain these awesome features that could make losing your handset’s chains worthwhile.
1. Multitasking
First, an app called Backgrounder will let you run programs in the background, allowing you to [...]

Not sick of hearing about the Google Phone yet?  Good for you.  Pricing details, as well as the date of the official press conference, have now been confirmed for the much-awaited Nexus One.
Practically all of the relevant details for the handset (including a lot of photos) have now made the rounds, so it isn’t a [...]

Simulation fans hankering for a good iPhone title should look at The Voxel Agents’ new chaos management game, Train Conductor.  As the name implies, it’s a railway operation game where you steer the entire system to safely deliver each train to their destination.
While gameplay is similar to games such as Flight Control and Harbor Master, [...]

The Nokia X3 is one of the two pioneering handsets in the Xseries line, the company’s new music-centric brand.  We’ve already looked at the first of those phones, the S60-powered Nokia X6.  This time, we check out the lower-end model, which runs on the company’s S40 operating system.
Physically, the X3 is a noticeable departure from [...]

The US Mobile DTV standard has been approved back in October.  Yet, there hasn’t really been that much of a buzz surrounding it (only Asian people appear enthralled with the idea of watching TV on their phones).  LG is looking to inject some life into the discussions with their first efforts at using the technology.
First [...]

Want a phone that looks like an iPhone at a fraction of the price?  Say hello to Chinese clones.  Specifically this one, my hands-down favorite of the lot – the SciPhone I68 I9++ Mobile Phone.
Can it run iPhone apps?  Of course not.  Can it browse the web in 3G?  Nope, GSM only.  Everything else, however, [...]

First appearing in the blogosphere alongside the Samsung Saturn i6500, the Samsung i899 is now official.  Designed for the Chinese market, it won’t have Windows Mobile 6.5 at the helm, as rumored.  Instead, it’s actually going to be running a full Android build.
Scheduled for release by China Telecom (as confirmed by the Samsung China website), [...]

I’ve always wondered if there was a simpler, no-look way to use the iPhone’s music player.  Turns out there is and it’s been out for a while now.  FlickTunes is a free App Store download from SoGeeky Software that purports to let you control the music on your handset blindly.
Why would you want to do [...]

The Nokia E72 replaces the popular E71 as the company’s newest top-end hardware for office suits.  Like its predecessor, the new smartphone comes with a bevy of business talents and messaging features that help it live up to the high expectations laid out by the earlier model’s success.
Physically, the phone sports attractive high-end looks.  It’s [...]
