What Is The Best SmartPhone On My Carrier?

I routinely get asked by friends and family which SmartPhone they should pick up.  This is always a difficult discussion as the Smart Phone industry of today, similar to the PC industry of the early 2000′s, is changing rapidly almost daily.   I’ve decided to start a post that I will maintain – though I’m [...]

So I Resigned From My Pretty Awesome Job.

On Friday 3/4, I resigned from my current job as IT Systems Architect/Team Lead for our Systems and Messaging group. It was one of the more difficult decisions I’ve made in my ~12 year IT career. It’s hard to leave a company who has treated you well. In 4.5 years with them, I’ve been promoted [...]

My Initial Motorola XOOM with Android Honeycomb Impressions

You may have heard about a big launch today if you’re a Google Android fan… namely the Android Honeycomb powered Motorola XOOM.  I was able to spend some uninterrupted hands-on time with the XOOM and got some fuzzy questions answered.

I’m not going to review the device in the traditional sense, but rather as a [...]

Hay it’s December 31st, time for some New Years Resolutions…

Well.. I run 1920×1200 resolution at home and 3 monitors at 1600×1200 at work… think I will strive for 2560×2048 and 1920×1200 respectively. ok that was lame.

I never make New Years resolutions because I’ve always thought they were pitfalls for failure and most of the time forgotten by January 21st.  However, this year I have some [...]

How NOT to pick a new SmartPhone…[Carrier]

I’ve been sitting on this topic for a blog [series] for quite sometime.  I’m finally getting around to writing about it. By titling this series as “How not to..” I expect a backlashing from the fanboi’s of the internet to tell me how I’m wrong, regardless of which side of home plate they swing from. [...]

AT&T U-Verse Mobile App for Android

If you’re like me, you’re NOT an AT&T Wireless subscriber, but a AT&T U-Verse subscriber. I’ve been using the U-Verse mobile app on my work iPhone and personal iPad since it’s release, but have been waiting for the release of their Android client so I can use it on my Verizon DROID X. Well, AT&T [...]

Storm and Bold, my new toys

Welp, today finally came…today as in the release date of the Blackberry Storm.  I picked one up this morning at 0′dark 30AM.  I was first in line and frooze my rear off in doing so, but it was worth it.  So far I’m   pleasantly surprised, it’s  better than my expectations and I really like it.  [...]

T-Mobile Pearl 8100

Tonight I picked up my new Blackberry Pearl(8100) by T-Mobile. I must say, having owned/used the Blackberry 5790, 6750, 7750, 7250, 7130, 7520, 8700, and now the 8100 – the 8100 is my favorite.

This phone feels solid and feels right in your hand and on a call.

Tons of new features offered for the [...]
