The iPhone 4 (And What Phone Should I Buy My Husband?)

Jun 08. 2010

Today, El Steve-O donned his customary black turtleneck and jeans and wowed Apple fanboys worldwide as he introduced the iPhone 4 at the WWDC 2010. I personally like the new hardware design — the more angled shape, the stainless steel band, and front-mounted camera — and think the white version in particular looks pretty damn sexy. Furthermore, the "Retina Display" looks mighty tempting...

Motorola Droid Review

Jan 16. 2010

J isn't one for extravagant gifts, but this past Christmas he gifted me with something I had been drooling over for a very long time: the Motorola Droid. I convinced J to order the phone through Amazon, since its $149.99 pricetag was a lot more attractive than the $199.99 offered by Verizon Wireless stores. (Note: Amazon is now selling the phone for $119.99 with a new contract!) I had never ordered a phone via Amazon before, so I was a teeny bit nervous. I was soon to discover that my nerves were not for naught: Amazon did not give me an option to port my existing number. They (or Verizon) automatically assigned me a new number based on my billing zip code. I had...

How Many iPhone Apps Do You Use?

Nov 06. 2009

I admit it — I'm a cell phone whore. And as much as I love my HTC G1, I hate, hate, HATE the T-Mobile network. The problem is made worse by the fact that I had switched over to T-Mobile from Verizon (the best network in the U.S.) for the G1. I refuse to switch over to the iPhone. I hate that it is a closed platform, and that it forces developers to jump through hoops and wait unreasonable lengths of time for an app to get approved. (Case in point: the Squarespace iPhone App was finally released this week. Apple's approval process had taken so long that the Squarespace team is already well into the next version of the application. As...

I Gots Myself a G1!

Dec 24. 2008

As much as I love my Voyager, I think I've overused it. I use it in lieu of an iPod or the radio. I activate its kickass navigation system (which talks to me!) whenever driving to an unknown location. I overdose on its web browser. So it did not come as a surprise when the phone started acting up. Restarting by itself. Frozen applications. And about a month ago, the web browser would die (and bring the entire phone to its grave) whenever I visited Gmail. No way to check email on my phone? The horror! I knew I needed...
