My intention for the past couple months was to purchase a new WP7 phone sometime after launch day and only use it through a WiFi connection so I could download/review software and comment on other aspects of the OS. I am really happy (sort of) with the way my Tilt2 is currently configured and … Read more
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
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
There’s been some frustration out there that you can’t sync your Windows Phone directly with Outlook (unless you’re using exchange). You have to sync through Zune and it’s led to some frustrations, mostly due to people who can’t get things like photo contacts to sync with their shiny new devices. Well CompanionLink may have a … Read more

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
The Quantum may not be the prettiest, but it does have a slide-out keyboard and DLNA so you can play video from your phone on your tv/computer wirelessly. If you’re looking to get your hands on it, AT&T has it for pre-order on their site now. “Your order is scheduled to be shipped on or … Read more
Today a lot of apps that were ‘approved’ but not live in the market went live. There are too many to count (and it’s difficult since the ‘release date’ is the approval date, not the launch date). For XBox Need For Speed Undercover, Avatar Gadgets, Halo Waypoint, More Bran Exercise and Guitar Hero 5 were … Read more
Good chance you heard plenty of hype over the course of the past few months hype some big crazy Samsung unveiling in New York City this evening which had revved up a lot of us, some speculating that they’d unleash the first Android 2.3 Gingerbread phone, maybe the Nexus Two, the Galaxy Tab perhaps… Nope. … Read more
Google’s hooking up with Gogo, an in-flight ISP, to dish out free wifi on domestic flights for AirTran, Delta and Virgin from November 20th through January 2nd (PR). All three airlines are suiting up all of their planes for the task, more than seven hundred total expected to shuttle fifteen million passengers over the holiday … Read more
Living here in the United States and being handcuffed to AT&T, I could not get the T-Mobile version of the HTC HD2, I had to pony up and get the Telstra version of the HTC HD2 (T9193) to be able to use 3G. At the time it was more than $800.00. So with a device … Read more
Amazon.com has currently run out of the Samsung Focus. Don’t believe me? Check their site! I was expecting a little bit of a rush today as phones are being released, however I did not expect Amazon to run out so quickly.
