Disclaimer: Before I begin, let me just say that the unit that I had is a prototype. And like all prototype, the performance is not at it’s optimum. Things that you see here might also change when it is released for retail.

I got to try out the Lenovo Skylight for a few days. I [...]

Had a sneak preview of the Nokia N900, Nokia’s latest mobile device running on Maemo 5.

My first impression of the Nokia N900 is that it’s rather bulky for year 2010. Phone nowadays are much slimmer and lighter. (11.09 x 5.98 x 1.8 cm and 181 grams) But then, I guess it is hard to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The new Ovi Maps application has maps for over 180 countries. Drive and walk turn by turn navigation is currently available in 74 [...]

Lenovo recently announced the Thinkpad X100e and Thinkpad Edge at CES. I was invited to the Singapore launch last week.

The Thinkpad X100e is a professional-grade ultraportable laptop. It has a 11.6 inch HD LED blacklight screen (1366×768). It runs on a AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 chip. This is the first Thinkpad that is running on [...]

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 [...]
