Reviews of Android phones and software.

I just got finished posting Todd Haselton’s review of the T-Mobile branded Motorola CLIQ XT on MobileBurn.com.  Todd likes the device in general, and thinks it has more going for it than “a CLIQ without a keyboard” would seem to suggest.  I agree.
He was unimpressed with the CLIQ XT’s camera, but really liked the new [...]

I’ve posted my full review of the Motorola BACKFLIP for AT&T on MobileBurn. Oddly enough, I like the device more now than I did originally, which bodes well for how real world users might react to the phone.
I still dislike the large keyboard, and I think the BACKTRACK directional controller’s a bad idea, but the [...]

I meant to post this yesterday, but the business side of this web stuff got in the way (tax season approaches, you know).  In any case, here are my two videos of the Motorola BACKFLIP for AT&T.  I’m currently working on a full written review for MobileBurn.com, but I can share the videos and some [...]

Another of our MobileBurn compatriots, Todd Haselton, has put together a video of the new Motorola CLIQ XT for T-Mobile USA that he’s currently reviewing.  The CLIQ XT is very much like an original CLIQ that has lost its keyboard and gained a new touchpad controller and camera flash.

Lots of video to put up today, as the floodgates have once again opened in our review queue over at MobileBurn.com.  The first up are Russell Jefferies two videos of the HTC Legend that he received late last week.  This beauty of a phone sports a solid aluminum/aluminium body, and optical joystick, and a sweet [...]

Yeah, yeah, I know.  A lot of videos from me lately.  The latest is a 9 minute demo of the new Connected Media Player that Motorola is putting into the new CLIQ XT (QUENCH) smartphone. It fetches album art and lyrics from the internet, plays Shoutcast internet radio stations, and can search YouTube and other [...]

This video is far more interesting than my last post’s.  Here we have Todd Haselton of our sister site MobileBurn.com checking out the new Motorola DEVOUR that Verizon sent him yesterday.
The DEVOUR is an Android 1.6 device that is very much like the Motorola CLIQ for T-Mobile in terms of basic specs and functionality.

The Dell Mini 5 is oddly named as it is a rather large smart phone. We’ve been hot on the heals on this device since it started gaining traction a few months ago. Now, we have a more in depth, high quality video which reveals some of the interesting physical characteristics of this device. As [...]

Remember when old clocks used to signal every hour on the hour so that you always had a good idea of what time it was?  Thanks to TimeSignal, you can now experience this on your Android device.  TimeSignal is an app developed by Luck of Wise which does exactly what the name implies, signals the [...]

I’ve posted my full-length Google Nexus One review on MobileBurn.com.  You should jump over there and give it a read (and watch the videos, if you haven’t watched them here already).
In short, I like the device, but don’t love it. Text input is a big weakness, as is the 3G data. The 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen, [...]
