T-Mobile, Your Plans Make No Sense!

by

As of today, T-Mobile apparently no longer offers their Even-More-Plus (no contract) plans on their website. Yesterday I was able to take an Even-More-Plus plan all the way to checkout. Today, they have ceased to exist. Stranger still, the list of their Even-More (2 year contract) plans is pretty confusing and very illogical. For example, … Read more

Mobility Digest Review: Earjax Moxy Earbuds

by

I don’t know about you but I use my phone for more than a phone, and if you have a smartphone I’m sure you do as well or you’re wasting it. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate that I love and it features a great stock music player, at least I think it is and I use it whenever I can. The Captivate does come with headphones but they’re not that great, at least I don’t think they are so I don’t use them. I like my music to sound good, so I use good headphones or earbuds actually. Today for review I’ve got a set of very good earbuds from a company called Earjax and they’re called the Moxy. They’re very well made and they sound great. One of the great things about these eabuds is that when you buy them, you’re not only getting a great set of earbuds but they’ll donate a portion of the proceeds to the Starkey Hearing Foundation.

The Fail That Is Autocorrect

by

We’ve all had that experience – we’re typing and autocorrect kicks in and changes the words you’re typing so instead of saying ‘thanks’ you randomly just wrote ‘Thanksgiving’ in an email to your boss. Well, a friend told me to check out  damnyouautocorrect.com and gotta tell you – great stuff and perfect for a Friday. … Read more

I know you all must be wondering how many more OtterBox Cases I have left to review and I can tell you that this is the last one I have to review for a while. I had to take a little bit of time off from reviewing products so I am trying to get back … Read more

WP7 Consumer Experience

by

I was cruising the WP7 scene on XDA and came across this comment by Croak, who went from an Android phone to the HTC Surround, in the WP7 Tips and Tricks thread. I found it astonishing and want to run it by you: 1. Buy a Windows Phone 7 device on launch day 2. Discover … Read more

WP7 WiFi Bugs

by

According to everyone WP7 devices won’t connect to networks with hidden SSIDs (networks that don’t broadcast a name of the network, a commonly used security measure). The fix for that at the moment is showing your network. I wouldn’t call this a minor bug. On top of that, BGR is reporting that they’ve had enough … Read more

Neat Trick, Microsoft

by

I’ve spent the last five minutes trying to size up WP7’s launch success to get an idea of whether or not I’ll be getting my $50 from co-contributor / arch nemesis David K. Beyond anecdotal clues and some Twitter analysis, no one’s really sure, partly because in NYC and in San Francisco Microsoft decided to … Read more
