When I heard that RIM is sticking with their tactile feedback touchscreen for their BlackBerry Storm 2, I though that they never learn their lesson from BlackBerry Storm 1. When I reviewed the Storm 1, the biggest problem is the tactile feedback touchscreen. It is first of it kind and like all things that are [...]

First Look: Samsung Wave (Samsung’s first Bada phone)
I was given a sneak preview of the first Samsung Bada phone, the Samsung Wave (S8500), last week at Samsung Singapore office. Managed to spend 2 hours hands on the device. The device is still a prototype and not ready for market. Some of the things you see here might change before it is released [...]
First Look: Lenovo Thinkpad X200T
Managed to steal the Lenovo Thinkpad X200T from Nicole for a couple of hours while she is away. This will just be a short first look. More detailed review when I get my hands on the review unit. This is actually not the first time I’ve seen the X200T. Lenovo been showing off this beautiful [...]

Singtel brings the Motorola Dext to Singapore
Singtel is bringing the Motorola Dext to Singapore. The Motorola Dext is the GSM version of the Motorola CLIQ. Don’t confuse this with the Motorola Droid/Milestone. They are 2 different phone. I would say the Dext is more like a mid-range Android phone. Like the CLIQ, the Dext is running Android 1.5. The Motorola Dext [...]

Google officially announced the Nexus One yesterday night (Singapore time). There isn’t any surprises during the event. We already seen the review on the Engadget. It is more like confirming the rumors and giving us the finer details like pricing and shipping.
The Nexus One is the first AMOLED Android phone. They didn’t mention how many [...]
BlackBerry Bold 9700 Singapore launch
RIM recently launched the BlackBerry Bold 9700 (Or Bold 2 as some people call it) in Singapore. The Bold 9700 is an update to the successful BlackBerry Bold 9000.
Perhaps the biggest difference on the Bold 9700 is the touch-sensitive optical trackpad. I’m not sure if this is the first BlackBerry with a touch-sensitive trackpad. [...]
