We’d forgive you if you’d given up on Sprint’s AIRAVE. We’ve seen the femtocell - which promises to boost your CDMA signal by re-routing calls via your broadband - rolled out at so many tradeshows and events, even our tech-hungry eyes had begun to glaze over. Finally, though, the AIRAVE is here, and Sprint sent [...]
Talk about contentious: Samsung’s Omnia i900 has been heralded as everything from the best Windows Mobile smartphone yet, to the oft-fabled iPhone killer. Take a look at the spec sheet and you can see why, with a 3.2-inch touchscreen, 3G, WiFi, GPS, haptic feedback and a choice of 8GB or 16GB internal storage, the Omnia [...]
Sony invited us down to the Hilton in midtown Manhattan earlier on today to spend some hands-on time with their new 2008 VAIO lineup.

If you’re searching for a phone with some serious rumor history, look no further; the Treo 800w has been knocking around the internet for months now, promising Palm’s fabled usability together with CDMA 3G connectivity. Now conjecture no more, the touchscreen smartphone has been confirmed as part of Sprint’s new line-up, and we’ve had the [...]
It hardly seems like a year since the first-gen iPhone stormed the cellphone market, grabbing Apple a coveted spot in the top ranks of handset manufacturers and redefining the sort of usability people could expect from a touchscreen device.

Welcome to our second episode of SlashGear TV week in review. Ashley and Bree are no longer with Aradius, being replaced with Ann Pickrell. We got the LG Dare, iPAQ 910 Business Messenger, Sony Ericsson MBS-100 Bluetooth Speaker, Guitar Hero On Tour, and i2i Stream in to review this week.
We hope you enjoyed the pilot episode of SlashGear TV week-in-review. This week, we are back with episode number 1. While we’re happy with the 25-minute clip, there’s still a lot of room for improvements. That being said, please submit your feed backs as to what you liked, didn’t like or want to see more [...]
I had an opportunity to check out the HTC Touch Pro aka Raphael smartphone at an informal meet up with HTC earlier today. According to HTC, the Touch Pro is the company’s Touch Diamond (but more) and by more it is beefier in thickness due to a slide up 5-row QWERTY keyboard.
I managed to sneak out a ROKR E8 at the 2008 Motorola Holiday Gift Guide Preview earlier today. If you follow SlashGear or Phone Magazine, you’re probably already know everything there is to know about the MOTOROKR E8. However, for those living under a rock over the past months, well read on.
