T-Mobile Dell Streak expected February 2nd?
T-Mobile “will” launch the Dell Streak on February 2nd, 2011, or so the leaked document suggest. As much as I like this device I don’t trust Dell in the mobile market for what I feel to be good reason. They continue to put out outdated software and tend to lag behind getting firmware updates to their users. Having this in mind I feel it might affect the decision of some consumers whom have been burned in the past by Dell. What... Read More
Motorola ATRIX to arrive March 1st?
After playing with the ATRIX 4G at CES this year I am excited to see what it brings to the table when it comes to Android based smartphones.

BlackBerry, Android and where iOS fits for me
As a BlackBerry user I fully understand where Taylor is coming from. Unlike Taylor I gave up on Blackberry around 4 years ago to move to the Symbian platform as my primary device.
