Another Screen Test N8 vs Omnia HD vs Milestone

People just love to compare screens don’t they? Here’s one of a normal AMOLED(Nokia N8) pitted against a SuperAMOLED(Samsung Omnia HD) and a standard LCD(Motorola Milestone).  The LCD clearly has the worse viewing angles of the three.  You can make up your own minds about which is ultimately the best.  However I think comparing SuperAMOLED … Read more

Mobility Digest Review: Motorola H17txt with MotoSpeak Bluetooth Headset

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…

Motorola Droid Xtreme Photo Leak

Goes to show you that no matter how hard you try, you can never keep a good thing hidden for long. Such is the case for Motorola trying to keep the Motorola Droid Xtreme under wraps until it finally lands on Verizon sometime at the end of June if the rumors are correct. The Droid X, will sport a 4.3 WVGA Screen and is said to have IPS Technology as well. Android 2.1, HDMI Out, and a very unconfirmed 750Mhz TI OMAP3630 processor, but we were thinking it would be 1Ghz. The Droid X will also come with a new version of Moto Blur. Pretty much that’s all I got except for a ton of pictures after the break. Let me pay the bills first and then enjoy the leaked goodness of the Droid Xtreme!
