Posted on 21. Aug, 2010 by John.
I know what you are all thinking… not another Torch review, we’ve seen enough of these. Well you may be right, but I’d like to think that a review after over two weeks of use could be more valuable than these two day reviews. Not to say those reviews aren’t good, just that there is [...]

RIM fires back at Apple in response to the iPhone 4 “Antennagate” claim
Posted on 17. Jul, 2010 by David Malka.
Not sure if you guys watched Steve’s press conference yesterday concerning the iPhone 4 Antenna issue..but before I go on, I want to point out that I’ve been using an iPhone 4 since launch day and have never experienced the bar drop. Let’s get to the point..Apple claims that most smartphones lose signal when holding them in a certain way..and showed some examples. Here’s where it gets fun. Apple claims that holding the Blackberry Bold 9700 in a certain way will make you lose signal…well let me tell you that i’ve been trying it since and nothing! zip! nada! no signal lose….but again, neither does my iPhone 4 lose bars so maybe my hands are “Antennagate” proof! Nonetheless RIM wasn’t too happy about those allegations and released an official statement:
“Apple’s attempt to draw RIM into Apple’s self-made debacle is unacceptable. Apple’s claims about RIM products appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public’s understanding of an antenna design issue and to deflect attention from Apple’s difficult situation. RIM is a global leader in antenna design and has been successfully designing industry-leading wireless data products with efficient and effective radio performance for over 20 years. During that time, RIM has avoided designs like the one Apple used in the iPhone 4 and instead has used innovative designs which reduce the risk for dropped calls, especially in areas of lower coverage. One thing is for certain, RIM’s customers don’t need to use a case for their BlackBerry smartphone to maintain proper connectivity. Apple clearly made certain design decisions and it should take responsibility for these decisions rather than trying to draw RIM and others into a situation that relates specifically to Apple.”

Guess we’re in for a nice AT&T-Verizon style saga!

White iPhone 4 gets un-boxed and pictured
Posted on 07. Jul, 2010 by David Malka.
Wow! All I can say is that i’m in the mood for some white chocolate right about now. A Japanese blog ImpressWatch was able to get their hands on a white iPhone 4 and un-boxed it and took some great pics. First thing I did after seeing these pictures to check the Apple website to see if the white iPhone was available..and it’s not. Not yet. Looking at the pics, we notice that the front and back glass look very similar to the white finish of the mighty mouse. I’m sure the white iPhone 4 will sell out the same day it becomes available. Will you be getting one?
Want to see more pictures? Hit the jump.

Motorola Droid X initial thoughts
Posted on 07. Jul, 2010 by John.
The Droid X has landed on my desk. I have been using it for maybe 15 minutes. A few first thoughts:
- I didn’t expect it to be THIS big (TWSS). It is almost overwhelming at first. I am sure I will adjust to it after a few hours of use.
- The screen looks great
- The buttons fit the phone, don’t feel out of place.
- Camera looks sharp
That is it for now, after 20 min of use I am getting use to the size (TWSS). I will have a full review coming up in the next week.
