Behold the AT&T Tilt

2007-10-06T19:20:00Z

Usually when a new phone comes out, most people don't bat an eyelid, or if they do, they will get it months later. Not us phone enthusiasts. The usual conversation last night was stagnant between my husband and I unless it was about the Tilt. Should we or should we not get one? The pros out-weighed the cons, obviously. Having the 8525, he was looking for more memory capacity and the faster chip. Was the flip screen going to be spring action and faulty? Was the upgrade even worth it? All of the late...(read more)

The HTC Advantage Has Landed

2007-08-08T02:57:00Z

CompUSA and Amazon are the two best places to be right now. HTC released the Advantage and boy, is it looking good. 5 inches of screen plus WM 6 native, AND it's a handy notebook replacement? I couldn't ask for anything better! Well...maybe...don't work too hard HTC, I still have ideas. You can grab this puppy for $899. Aug 8th: Looks like sales are doing well, they dropped the price a little bit more. You can now get it for $849.99 on Amazon....(read more)

Kaiser Krazy? It won't be long now.

2007-07-16T23:07:01Z

After getting over my brief obsession with the Wing, I had set my sights on the Kaiser. I really didn't think it would get released here in the States, but TomTheGeek has not only the name but also the month. Behold, the Cingular 8925. Available in August 2007. I'd better start saving up now....(read more)

iPhone Ad Confirms Date

2007-06-04T02:20:25Z

Sometimes it pays to watch the adverts on television. A few hours ago while watching Comedy Central, the iPhone ad appeared. It felt really refreshing to see the ad, and of course the launch date - June 29th . But it also begs the question, why don't Windows Mobile devices get the same kind of ad-taking? Sure, we've seen ads for the Blackjack, but what about Cingular's in-house 8125 or 8525? I'm hoping that with time, and now with WM6 native devices coming in the full range, we'll see more out of...(read more)

More Mobile News Than You Can Shake A Hard Drive At

2007-03-27T04:30:00Z

Hello all! I know it's been awhile, but we have ALOT to cover so let's get a move on, shall we? The big news (for the minute at least) is that 3 phones currently on Cingular/AT&T will be upgradable to WM6. They are: the Treo 750; Cingular 8525; and the Samsung Blackjack. No luck then for my 8125 I guess. (Thanks to Engadget Mobile for the snippet.) My, my, HTC. What would we do without you? So much HTC news to cover, it's becoming a dizzying array of codenames, so please bear with me, and please...(read more)

WM6 Upgrades, Second Take

2007-03-03T22:23:00Z

Thank you guys for the wonderful opinions and discussion in my Calling All WM5 Users post. This morning, my husband and I decided to GO LOOK at an 8525, feel it around, and see if we really needed it in our lives. Of course, once we got into the store, there was no stopping us; we had to get it. Just 4 days prior, my 8125 bricked out due to a software malfunction (no, it wasn't the OS, I had downloaded a prayer-time program and it didn't play nicely with the phone :(). So now for once in our married...(read more)

Calling all Mobile 5 Users!

2007-02-21T20:41:00Z

My husband and I have recently been discussing about whether to get another phone for him. Currently he is using a Cingular 2125, while I have the Cingular 8125. We've waited so long to get the 8525 that with WM6 due now, we're debating about the upgrade. So that leads the question to you all. Who is waiting for the upgrade? Will you just be getting a new phone? Will you be leaving Windows Mobile devices all together? Please discuss in the comments section. -Dena...(read more)

Windows Mobile Marketing Videos - Work Wherever!

2007-02-14T20:32:00Z

If you're anything like me, you enjoy making public phone calls with your smartphone because of it's sleekness and grandeur. I'd still like to keep some of that mystique about my phones, but don't you wish the mainstream public knew more about the phones we adore? Microsoft has the answer. Thanks to successfull viral marketing for the launches of Vista and the Zune, the company has decided to take a small but similar step in the goal of reaching more markets. To do this, Microsoft has made a few...(read more)

Microsoft Updates The Smartphone

2007-02-14T13:53:00Z

Sorry guys, I know it's Wednesday, two days after the launch on Windows Mobile 6, and I'm a little bit behind schedule. I would love to blame it on my excitment, but actually it's due to natural causes. We've had a blizzard and are in the house trying to dig out of 5 foot snow drifts. Anyway, sorry for my absense. On to the news! Obviously, the big news is that Microsoft, as expected, launched WM6 on Monday. However, we won't see any native devices until the second quarter of this year. In a big...(read more)
