My HD2 Featuring NRG’s GTX ROM

by

My daily weapon of choice is none other than the beautiful T-Mobile HD2. Not that this device needs much of an introduction, but I’ll go ahead and point out a thing or two for those of you who have been residing in a cave for the past few months.

The HD2 is outfitted with a huge 4.3 inch multi touch screen, a 1GHz snapdragon processor and the ability to hold the phone however you want to make phone calls. There is a laundry list of other really important features I should be mentioning, but oh well! Huge screen and 1GHz processor sums it up nicely.

Directly from T-Mobile, the phone comes loaded with the latest and greatest version of HTC’s Sense UI. I doubt most will ever understand how big a deal this is, but considering this thing runs windows mobile 6.5, a top notch UI like Sense is more than welcome!

Mobility Digest Review: Motorola H17txt with MotoSpeak Bluetooth Headset

by

Today for review I have a bluetooth headset from Motorola called the H17txt, odd name yes, but it’s much motobt12 more than just a headset. This specific headset features MotoSpeak or the ability for you to listen to text messages and emails sent to you in the headset. While you’re driving or whatever you’re doing, when you get a message it will be read to you right through the headset. It works with either Android or Blackberry phones, and since I don’t have a BlackBerry I’m using my Android phone, specifically the Motorola Cliq XT. The software is very configurable with many options, but the downside is that to get full functionality you’ll need to get the full version which will cost you $13.95. I found the ‘lite’ version to be more than adequate though for my uses. Anyway, read on to learn more about the H17txt and MotoSpeak…

AT&T Paid Me to Upgrade!

by

I “bought” my Aria from AT&T over the phone a month ago. I put bought in quotes because AT&T actually paid me $150 to upgrade. First, they credited me for the full cost of the Aria including phone, taxes, shipping, and activation. Then they credited me $50 for downgrading from the $30/month unlimited data plan … Read more

Mobility Digest Review: 7" Philips PET741B Widescreen Portable DVD Player

by

Welcome to another review on Mobility Digest, this isn’t a phone, but this is Mobility Digest, not Phone dvd1 Digest meaning that anything mobility counts right? We should diversify and not just review phones, but we should review anything that’s related to being mobile. Yes we can have a larger focus on phones, but i think we should think everything mobility related and not limit ourselves.

Today for review I’ve got one of Geeks cheap portable DVD players, it’s the Phillips PET741B model actually and it’s a widescreen player that works fairly well overall. It’s small, it’s portable and it works well. The player is a basic one yes, but it works for playing DVDs and CDs, and what more could you ask for right?!

The fallout from Google’s mobile store shutdown

by

When I purchased my Nexus One, the only phone purported to give customers the true “Google Experience,” I knew by that point that it was not selling well or at least not selling up to expectations. I was unsurprised but undeterred. Paying for unlocked phones was an old habit of mine, as I had spent … Read more
