In an effort to give something back to the community I’ve taken so, so, so much from, here’s Ask Techland. In our first installment, we have a question from Aaron concerning which T-Mobile Android phone he should purchase now that his old G1 is up for renewal.
“I am with T-Mobile and am currently looking to upgrade my now antiquated

On the last day of E3, the Windows Phone 7 team decided to show off their upcoming ‘wares. Behind closed doors, I got a sneak peek at a small portion of the functionality that the Xbox Live team has implemented in Microsoft’s upcoming mobile OS relaunch. Samsung built the dev sled for my demo and I’m told the hardware is not …
When Google’s mobile operating system Android launched in 2008 you could only get one device and it remained that way for some time. That’s definitely not the case in 2010 with all major US carriers snatching up Android devices left and right. Here’s a rather lengthy but concise guide on every Android device that’s currently available or …
Okay, now we’re talking. Samsung just announced an impressive little number in the Galaxy S, a 3G smartphone running Android 2.1 with a 1GHz processor and a 4-inch 800×480 AMOLED screen.
Other features include a “Daily Briefing” app that shows weather, news, stocks, and scheduling information, DLNA home networking compatibility, …
Over the next few months, it appears that we’re going to be seeing a distinct divide between tablets and slates. There will probably be some crossover in naming conventions—some slates called tablets, maybe some tablets called slates—but for the sake of argument, let’s refer to tablets as devices that run more mobile-ish …
Is it? If so, why? I reviewed the Behold II back in November and it was, well, not great.
I told you CES would be all about 3D. And it turns out that DreamWork’s “Monsters vs. Aliens” will be the first 3D Blu-ray film out this year. There’s one caveat though. The only way to get the movie is to purchase a Samsung 3D theater experience package and that includes a 3D HDTV (LED, LCD or Plasma), the BD-C6900 Blu-ray …
I wouldn’t typically waste my time writing about MP3 players, but Samsung’s IceTouch (YP-H1) and MyFit (YP-W1) warrant some attention albeit brief interest. CES wouldn’t be CES if Samsung didn’t announce a gaggle of “world’s firsts” and the IceTouch looks to be the tip of the iceberg. See what I did there?
With a 2-inch …
As if Panasonic and Olympus’s Micro 4/3 format wasn’t enough, Samsung’s highly rumored NX-series digital camera was officially unveiled today. The NX10 features a 3-inch AMOLED display and a 14.6-megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor. It even shoots HD video – be it 720p (H.264) – and an “ultra fast AF speed with the higher …
If you’re in the market for a new Windows Mobile 6.5 device- because who isn’t?- then check out the Samsung Omnia II from Verizon. It’s $200 but that gets you a 3.7-inch resistive AMOLED touch-screen, Swype technology, a 5-megapixel camera and 8GB of internal memory. Sadly, it’s only expandable to 16GB via microSD. The Omnia II …
Samsung’s mobile devices have come a long way in the last three years. I’ve lambasted them for much of that period over their chintzy resistive touch-screens, but recent handsets including the Behold II and Moment have been upgraded with vibrant AMOLED screens. The recent adoption of the Android OS on certain devices in the lineup …
Just announced in Korea from Samsung is the Galaxy Spica aka I5700. It’s another Android-powered handset that will likely stay across the pond. Specs are less than impressive, but this just goes to show you that Android will become the standard OS for many mobile phone manufacturers in the near future. Why Samsung recently …
