Blah! First America, now the United Kingdom; us Canadians always get the Royal Shaft. According to Engadget, Google has decided to turn on turn-by-turn navigation on England’s carriers running Android 1.6 and above. This means that as long as you are operating an Android device with 1.6 or greater, you can open the Maps app [...]

We all know Google likes to control everything you do online and on the go, but they have taken it one step further. In addition to texting +46645 (+GOOGL) with a name and city, and Google SMS would text you the 411 business listings, they offer a phone-based service that does the same thing. With [...]

Once again, Google has released a Blackberry app update without a changelog. However, in this case, any update is better than nothing, since Google Sync for Blackberry has gone out of its way to make my life a living hell over the last few months. Syncing it, even after a clean wipe, will result in [...]

We have been following the news on Sony Ericson’s hot, new Android 1.6-powered handset for quite a while now and with Rogers announcing preorders recently we can definitely feel the impending launch.

Just got a heads-up that Google Maps for Blackberry has been updated to 4.0.1 and as you can see, there is Buzz integration! Which is huge! For the couple people who use the service. Personally, I believe Buzz is only good for contextual, Foursquare-style blogging and is a viable tool to meet up with friends [...]

So far the only Nexus One love going around has been to GSM users. T-Mobile US customers had first cracks at it, then more recently AT&T/Rogers was given their turn, followed by rumors of some Sprint love on the horizon. But the big question has always been when is the nation’s largest carrier getting it? [...]

First there were screen cracks, then there was the purple tint, and now, according to Luke Hutchison, PhD candidate at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, lower effective screen resolution than the 480×800 advertised. The Nexus One is a gorgeous phone, sure, but it’s had its fair share of issues since its debut in [...]

So over the past few years I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect phone. I’ve narrowed it down to touchscreens, but that’s about it. Currently, I carry a BlackBerry 9550 and Nexus One and I love both but for totally different reasons. I love my 9550 for push emails and its ability to customize [...]
