SE Drops The Bomb On T-Mobile Users
Announced back in February to be the first Windows Mobile phone with 5 bands UMTS on board, it was also the first to actually work with T-Mobile 3G’s AWS network. A press release which was slated for November 3rd to announce the American version (X1a) was postponed. I thought it was because SonyEricsson was [...]
No Press Release From SonyEricsson Today
So it’s almost the end of November 3rd 2008 and there’s still no press release from SonyEricsson (SE) with regards to the America version of the XPERIA X1. While there’s still an hour to go if you’re here in the Eastern zone (or 4 if you’re on the West Coast), it’s highly unlikely that [...]
Does The XPERIA X1 Support T-Mobile USA’s 3G?
At this moment, it’s really anybody’s guess. While the initial announcement back in February shows a penta-band-UMTS device, a first if I may add, we have not heard anything since.
It really does not help when, on one hand, you have sites like Connected Internet and Bengal Boy (relatively NSFW; see post #377) who have experienced [...]
We’re Back Online
Yeah things have been rather slow here lately but for good reason. Now I am not going to spoil the surprise but all will come to light soon I promise.
For the hardcore among you who tried visiting My Today Screen earlier this afternoon but were met with error, we apologize. Apparently there were some scripts [...]
Awaiting Your Next Command
Bluetooth headsets are a dime a dozen that it’s sometimes hard for companies to set themselves apart from the competition. Plantronics went for the beauty aspect on their 925 and Aliph focused on military grade noise-reduction technology for the Jawbones. BlueAnt decided to go back to basics and focused on the primary reason we [...]
Get Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta 2 Now!
Yes it’s now available at an Opera download site near you. For those interested, be sure to uninstall the first version before installing this be beta as some users have reported memory issues for not doing so.
This new version loads pages faster (thank god) and even adds widgets which is similar to its desktop counterpart. [...]
Protect Yourself From ActiveSync Attacks
You might have heard by now about how a hacker could take over your locked computer with just a Windows Mobile device and ActiveSync.
One way to overcome this hack is to put ActiveSync into Guest Mode (so the screen above does not come up) permanently which means you’ll still be able to use the device [...]
SonyEricsson XPERIA X1 Delayed Till End Of Oct
I had recently placed an order for the SonyEricsson XPERIA X1 because I needed a new Windows Mobile device and one that runs T-Mobile USA’s 3G bands (1700.2100MHz bands).
When the order was initially placed, it was expected to be shipped later this week but an email from them yesterday stated that stocks have been [...]
Specs On The HTC Gets Official
Or at least it looks pretty official if you ask me. Thanks to Doug and his team at Tilt Mobility, they’ve uncovered the specs of the upcoming AT&T Fuze (which is based on the HTC Raphael/Touch Pro) on HTC Wiki.
It’s pretty much a confirmation of what we’ve come to expect from the Fuze (quad [...]
Feeling Like James Bond?
Then be sure to make the SonyEricsson XPERIA X1 and Saab 9-X Air your next phone and car respectively. Through Bluetooth connectivity, you will be able to:
Control ambient lightning
Control front and rear seat settings
Lock the car
Open the rear compartment
Switch on and off the lights (blinkers, main lights…)
Sure, you [...]
Get Your XPERIA X1 Manual Here
The phone’s set to be shipped later this week (fingers crossed) but there’s still no confirmation as to which UMTS bands it will have. Not to worry, we’re still looking forward to this phone as much as the Touch HD but until the latter comes, we’’ll be drooling over this baby.
For those of you [...]

The Perfect Smartphone
It’s a Sunday so there should be no heavy reading or thought-provoking articles. We just want to sit down, enjoy our coffee and browse through the internet so some light reading right? If that sounds like you, eWeek has a nice article on the perfect smartphone that they created. Find out what makes the cut [...]
HTC To N. America: No Touch HD For You
Yes folks, it’s a sad, sad day for Americans who were looking to snag a Touch HD. Never mind that the Touch HD was going to be launched next month in Europe. It would just be a matter of time before HTC made a localized version with native 3G bands for them. Apparently that was [...]
Just A Taste Of What The Touch HD Can Do
And it sure is impressive. This short 48 second video will show you just why some of us can’t wait to get our hands on it:
Like we need more reasons to tell us why the Touch HD will be the best mobile device to come. Now if only HTC could bring it to market quicker [...]
UMTS Frequencies
I had a scare earlier about the X1 not supporting T-Mobile USA’s 3G networks but Engadget managed to calm my nerves. One thing about that might have confused you were all that UMTS codes like UMTS I, UMTS VIII and UMTS II, among the many other UMTS bands. So what do these codes represent? In [...]
Is The XPERIA X1 Missing A Band Or Two?
That’s what this image seems to suggest:
I got that off CellPhone signal where they found out that the XPERIA X1 just reached the FCC and it’s got AT&T-friendly 3G bands. What’s even more interesting is that the X1 only has 3 UMTS bands instead of the 5 I initially thought.
This has seriously put a damper [...]
There Is No Zune Phone
But that’s not the end of it. Apparently Microsoft does have plans to port the Zune software into other platforms such as PC, XBOX and, get this, Windows Mobile. Don’t believe me? Check this out:
At the end of the day, one of the big trends is that all content is going digital. And if we [...]
Listen To The Radio With Bluetooth Stereo Headsets
I love the built-in FM radio on my ETEN Glofiish X500 but what I don’t like is the fact that I need to plug in the wired headsets to listen to it. If you’re like me, Resco has a solution for it:
Resco, one of the leading companies in software development of applications for mobile [...]
What’s Been Brewing Over At Wizcode
So it’s been a while since we heard anything from Wizcode but they’ recently have a 30% discount for all members. Nothing new there. But what’s new is the expiry date which is the 15th of this month. So if you’re on the lookout for some Wizcode love, be sure to hit them up.
