You might say that Nokia is a little bit late to the party (more like a few years late), but at least they decided to ditch Symbian as OS for flagship devices and teamed up with Microsoft in order to make a comeback. Nokias marketshare was steadily declining in the past years and it seemed like nothing can stop the momentum of iOS and Android. Microsoft released Windows Phone 7 which is a unique and... 

Apple presented the iPhone 4S a few weeks ago, and Google followed by announcing the Galaxy Nexus device made by Samsung. There were many rumours about an iPhone 5 and therefore some people were initially disappointed by the lack of a completely new iPhone. Nonetheless the iPhone 4S is a very solid device with greatly enhanced specs like a faster (dual core) CPU, more RAM, new camera and better antenna.... 

Microsoft announced yesterday that the roll out of the latest Windows Phone update has begun. After many positive previews of the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango update in the recent months, all customers will soon be able to try out all new Mango features first hand. At this point it seems that there are only a few additional bugfixes and changes compared to the latest Mango beta. You can find a complete... 

HTC Sense was the reason why i switched from Windows Mobile to Android. I was looking for something new as Microsoft didn’t innovate with Windows Mobile for many years, but at the same time vanilla Android running on the T-Mobile G1 just wasn’t attractive enough for me. The user interface looked like it was in beta stage, and a lot of functionality was missing (i.e. full exchange server... 

On my Windows Phone 7.5 Mango review i mentioned how social media services will be integrated tightly into the peoples hub. The first Mango beta already provided the Facebook sync but Twitter and LinkedIn were not yet available. Recently Microsoft pushed out a Mango beta 2 update which activates the complete social media sync including Twitter and LinkedIn. I’m using both new services so... 

Microsoft got a lot of praise for their new Windows Phone operating system, and rightfully so because WP7 represents a fresh, innovative and unique mobile OS approach that is easy to understand while still being effective. Most people didn’t expect such a major reboot after so many years of Windows Mobile stagnation. But like all new concepts Windows Phone 7 also has it’s share of setbacks,... 

Everybody has been waiting for HTC to release it’s first dual core CPU smartphone. While other manufacturers offer dual core devices for quite some time now, HTC hesitated to push the envelope on their phones hardware specs until now. The HTC Sensation is HTCs new flagship device which finally introduces a dual core CPU as well as HTC Sense 3.0 and a huge 4.3 inch screen. Vodafone was the first... 

It’s been nearly two years since i wrote an in-depth webOS review. Back then Palm surprised everybody with a very innovative mobile OS which didn’t have to hide from the competition. On the contrary, webOS surpassed iOS and Android in some areas like data sync (synergy) and general UI quality. Luckily Palm/HP decided to provide an webOS 2.1 update for the Palm Pre Plus even though it’s... 

It seems that i have some strange bond with Palm devices. Only a few days after i got an Palm Pre Plus for my wife, i was told that a local electronics store is selling Palm Pixie Plus devices for 30,- Euros with a one-month contract. So i checked the store out and found a big pile of Palm Pixie Plus devices which were basically being thrown out. I took two of them and played around with the Palm Pixie... 

About a year ago Palm released the Palm Pre Plus as follow up to the Palm Pre smartphone. As the name of the device suggests it was basically a small upgrade and not a completely new product. Since Palm was aquired by HP in 2010, many legacy Palm smartphones are available for very affordable prices currently. The Palm Pre Plus can be found for 150 – 200,- Euros without a contract, which is an...
