T-Mobile G1 Design Review!

It’s DONE!  I’ve written an exhaustive design review of the T-Mobile G1.  Beware, it’s long and full of random praises and well, non-praises.  It’s got its goods and its bads.  It’s got its woo’s and boo’s. 

AH!  Just head on over.  Took me long enough to write it.

T-Mobile G1!

Hell YEAH!  I’m super stoked to get my grubby hands on this thing.  I’ll be putting it over for a review on Intehxicate after I fool around with all the nitty gritties. 

First impression though?  GREAT interface.  Love how they’ve re-innovated what a “desktop” on a mobile should look like.  Hear that Windows Mobile 7?  Great screen, great trackball.  GREAT phone to hold – I’m actually really liking the Jay Leno chin (which I hear many hate).

First negatives?  Gmail integrates your life with ONE gmail – and it does it WELL.  Doesn’t work too well with many Gmails however, which… I have.  Keyboard is a bit eh.  Bit chunky although, not a bad looking phone.

I’ll go way more into detail in my review!  Keep checking Intehxicate!  Should be up by early next week.

Motorola Krave ZN4 Design Review

Warning: This is a shameless plug.

Took the new Motorola Krave out for some grueling spins!  Check it out over at Intehxicate: http://www.intehxicate.com/2008/10/16/motorola-krave-zn4-design-review/

In short: Not a bad looking phone, surprisingly.  Great build quality although a tad chunky.  That earpiece taken from the Ming still looks pretty awesome and the touchscreen works decently well.  Horrendous interface and I hate V CAST – which really brings down the potential of the phone.

Drooling over Storm hands-on

The blogs have gone up in arms with Paul Miller’s hands-on with the Storm… and I’m totally drooling. I previously had a hands-on about two months ago, but no software, just full hardware (and I totally won’t say who or what or where lol). Previously the screen was actually quite hard to press, and it didn’t feel right. The stupid ninja who had a hands-on, actually quite reflected what I was thinking.

But I’m REALLY glad to hear this thing is picking up momentum with praises (finally) about the screen.  I really liked the innovation.  Although I would like to say for my own egoistic reasons that I, actually, totally thought of that concept – but obviously, I’m in no position to implement anything like that =/ *sigh*. 

Coming out in November for the masses on Verizon!  And Telus!  And other Canadian carrier, says BGR.  I’m totally gonna pick this up one way or another.  I’ve been fighting for a reason to like it, and now I have lol.
