Motorola Charm for T-Mobile USA video tour

Here’s the video portion of the review I’m doing of the Motorola Charm for MobileBurn.com.  The Charm is a cool little Android 2.1 smartphone running MOTOBLUR in a compact, full QWERTY bar form factor. Both parts of the 2 part video are available in the YouTube playlist found below.

Our Motorola DROID 2 for Verizon review

I posted my review of the Motorola DROID 2 for Verizon Wireless on MobileBurn yesterday afternoon.  Here’s the intro from the full Motorola DROID 2 review: When Verizon first launched the original DROID by Motorola, it marked the carrier’s first step into the world of Android smartphones – and it was a good one. The [...]

Our Samsung Epic 4G for Sprint video review – part 1

Not much to say here, since I say it all in the video. Here’s part 1 of our Samsung Epic 4G smartphone video review.  Part 2 will be coming along in the next day or so.

Video: Motorola i1 Android smartphone for Nextel and Boost Mobile

Yesterday I shot some video footage of the Motorola i1, the first Android powered smartphone to work on iDEN push-to-talk networks, such as those run by Sprint Nextel and Boost Mobile in the USA. The i1 features a solid design that is resistant to dust, shock, and rain.  It runs only the 1.5 version of [...]

Our Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini and mini pro videos

I just finished uploading my two part video on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini and Xperia X10 mini pro Android smartphones. In spite of the fact that I really disliked the original Xperia X10, the mini and mini pro models, which are much, much smaller than the original, are very nice and left me [...]

Acer beTouch E110 review

However, despite jumping through the hoops and then some for what the consumer expects of an entry-level device, the beTouch E110 reminded [...]

HTC Wildfire review and videos

Here’s an excerpt from the full HTC Wildfire review: The HTC Wildfire is one of HTC’s latest Android smartphones that is aimed [...]

Our Samsung Vibrant for T-Mobile videos

Yesterday I shot two videos of the new Samsung Galaxy S based Vibrant for T-Mobile USA. I had just picked it up the night before at a T-Mobile event in NYC, and spent some time going through some of this impressive phone’s many features. Part one is below, part two is available after the jump.

Our Samsung Intercept for Sprint videos

Yesterday I received the new Samsung m910 Intercept for Sprint.  Here are two videos I shot of the device, going through some of its features (second video after the jump). The Intercept features a 3.2-inch WQVGA display, a 3.2MP autofocus camera, and a decent 800MHz processor.

Our Motorola DROID X for Verizon review

I’ve posted my review of the Motorola DROID X for Verizon on MobileBurn.com, and I didn’t spend only a few hours with it like so many other guys that wrote reviews.  Ahem.  In any case, I like the device quite a bit, but wouldn’t tend to use one personally since I like smaller phones with [...]
