“别人院子里的草坪总是更绿”，这句话也同样适用于数码产品。即使一个人已经拥有最新最眩的产品，也会忍不住看身旁的人手上拿着的不一样的数码设备，心里想：“那个比我这个多什么功能呢？”
对黑莓(BlackBerry)和iPhone手机的忠实用户来说，这种想法尤其普遍。他们往往都很好奇，想知道对方那款手机有什么功能是自己手机所没有的。本周，我会根据自己的一些亲身体验，介绍这两款智能手机各自的利弊所在，省得你们再费心琢磨。
Giacomo Marchesi
由于这两款手机我都经常用，因此很了解它们的不同功能。此外，还有五个人最近把黑莓手机换成了iPhone，我也会将他们的新发现介绍给大家。在我的要求下，这五个人一路写下自己的感想，比如想念黑莓手机的什么功能，以及喜欢iPhone的哪些地方。本文并不想贬低或抬高哪一款手机，而是总结归纳一些用户的感受，并结合我自己的看法，希望能对读者有所裨益。当然，我的介绍不可能全部概括这两款手机的差异之处。 Read the rest of this entry »
MetroPCS has been around since 1994. Windows Mobile has been around in one form or another since 2000. You think at some point their paths would have crossed, right? Nope - not until now, at least. Read the rest of this entry »
Microsoft has apparently come up with a strategy for righting the ship in its struggling Windows Mobile business, although that ship won’t be ready to sail anytime soon.
In a Wednesday report, the Taiwan-based tech journal DigiTimes said Microsoft plans to use both Windows Mobile 6.5 and Windows Mobile 7 to compete with Google’s Android and Apple’s iPhone.
Quoting unnamed sources with knowledge of Microsoft’s road map, DigiTimes said Microsoft plans to launch Windows Mobile 6.5 on Oct. 1 and then follow that with an upgrade next February that adds a touch-screen interface. Read the rest of this entry »
When a person says they like something, they might also add: “What’s not to like?”
When Steve Ballmer said he liked Microsoft’s Windows Mobile strategy a few years back, you had to ask “what strategy”?
Microsoft’s chief executive told CNBC-TV “I like our strategy, I like it a lot” while laughing off Apple’s iPhone.
Ballmer was speaking when the iPhone was announced and not yet released, Microsoft’s primary market in mobile was business users, and the competition was RIM and the sickly Palm.
It was a stable and predictable world, like the world of super-power politics before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Read the rest of this entry »
I’ve spent a good amount of time with HTC’s Touch Pro 2 for T-Mobile, and this beast has a long feature set that will make smartphone fans drool. But is the Windows Mobile-powered gadget just a good device on paper?
Hardware
There’s no way around it: the HTC Touch Pro 2 is a brick. It’s a hefty device that just feels bigger than it really is (full specs here). With that said, it’s not entirely unwieldy, and it still easily fits in a pocket.
The size of the device means it has more room for a big screen, and the 3.6-inch display is gorgeous. Whether you’re shooting off an e-mail, surfing the Web, or watching a video, the 800 by 480 screen is crisp and sharp, and colors are vibrant. It is a resistive screen though, and it’s not as responsive as the capacitive screen found on the iPhone or the Pre. Still, it’s pretty responsive with or without the stylus, and the accelerometer adjusts the orientation quickly.
The bulk of the device also gives ample room for a large, slide-out QWERTY keyboard. You can slide it out horizontally and then flip up the screen about 45 degrees for a real mobile computing experience. The keys are big, have plenty of room between them, and are the right mix of “clicky” and responsive. There’s a full row for numbers too, so you won’t have to mess around with the alternative button to include a phone number in messages. There’s also auto-correction software in there, but it’s so easy to quickly type messages that this hardly comes into play.
T-Mobile is offering it in a mocha color, and it’s stylish and snazzy. I know the Zune got a lot of grief for its brown color, but I’ve had enough of silver and black products - bring on more brown gadgets. I also like how this version has the microSD slot accessible from the side of the device instead of behind the back cover. This isn’t a major deal, but it’s nice to hot swap memory cards if needed.
Software
The software is both frustrating and easy to use. First of all, it’s been a while since I’ve used a Windows Mobile device as my primary phone, so it took me a while to get into Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)’s lame user paradigm (downloading apps from the browser, finding them, and installing them is a chore). I got really frustrated the first 10 minutes while trying to set up my usual things - Facebook app, Google (NSDQ: GOOG) Sync, etc. - because things like the iPhone, Android, webOS, and even BlackBerry have conditioned me to expect more intuitive interfaces.

Can Android Compete with BlackBerry, Windows Mobile in the Enterprise?
NEWS ANALYSIS: Google is set to announce another Android-based smartphone, so it’s time to consider Android’s standing in the enterprise. Does Android have what it takes to beat out the competition from the likes of RIM’s BlackBerry, the Palm Pre Web OS and Microsoft Windows Mobile?
In an announcement that has put Microsoft, Research In Motion, Apple and the many other smartphone makers on notice, the follow-up to the T-Mobile G1, the first Android-based device, is coming to store shelves this summer.
Dubbed the myTouch 3G, the device will feature an improved Android operating system, an affordable $199 price tag, and most importantly, it won’t have the slide-out keyboard found in the T-Mobile G1. That should help the device fit more easily into pockets and compete on the same level as major players in the market. Read the rest of this entry »
It is no secret that Sony Ericsson is working on at least one Android phone to be released later this year.
They told us about it themselves. And now the details start trickling out.
The first Sony Ericsson Android smartphone is codenamed “Rachael“, has got a big touchscreen display, and is built on Qualcomm QSD8250 Snapdragon platform.
Snapdragon has some pretty amazing amazing specs – up to 1 GHz CPU, HD video decoding ,12mpx camera, GPS, broadcast TV and Wi-Fi support. Though it remains to be seen which of them make it into a new SE Android handset. Probably not all of them, since we already know that SE opted for a lower resolution – 8.1 megapixel camera on this phone. Read the rest of this entry »
