Nokia device passes FCC for T-Mobile USA, looks an awful lot like a new Internet Tablet to us

Aug 8th 2009 10:34AM on Engadget Mobile

The battery isn't very big - the music 5800 uses it. I have little hope this will be anything very useful.

Samsung Omnia HD i8910 reviewed in the glow of the AMOLED screen

May 3rd 2009 11:28AM on Engadget Mobile

Say, NuShrike, you are absolutely correct. As an example, the transflective screen on a Clio nx or nz series is superb in the sun as an ebook reader (Mobireader works flawlessly) and I ended up with them, since there was nothing else. Yes, I know, it's not a phone, but that wasn't my original need. Device convergence has its plusses, but sometimes it just doesn't happen. :)

Samsung Omnia HD i8910 reviewed in the glow of the AMOLED screen

What could possibly be more important than the ability to use this outdoors in the sun (or bright overcast) ? While I realize battery conservation is always nice, still, this and the Impression's inability to work outdoors, with the supposed be-all and end-all of screens is bewildering, disappointing, and preposterous. I await the Fujitsu Flepia's unannounced arrival in the USA, to see if there is any color screen out there which could someday work.

Samsung Alias 2 launching on May 11, E Ink confirmed?

OOOOPS. Not the screen, the keyboard. And yet, there is color e-ink due out this year. Oh well, maybe someone will design a screen which can be read in the sun.

Samsung Alias 2 launching on May 11, E Ink confirmed?

E-Ink in color? Interesting. At least, possibly, it could be read/used outdoors, in the sun, perhaps. I tested a Samsung Impression outdoors at AT&T in bright clouds, and couldn't read the screen for the glare, though I could have combed my hair easily enough. What a terrific disappointment. An AMOLED screen which seemed no better than a regular LCD outside.

AT&T's Samsung Impression hands-on with video

Apr 2nd 2009 11:11AM on Engadget Mobile

Someone with a Samsung AMOLED screen - please, tell us how it works, especially in the sun. I was a little put off by the video in this article - frankly, its ability to let me comb my hair in the screen is not a big plus. Glare & reflection. Then when the center area came on with an actual picture or whatever, the glare seemed to vanish from that part. Not actually sure.

HTC Snap hands-on

Keyboard looks good at first, but then you notice where the stuff is. 456 is to the left, just enough to hit the 5 instead of the 4, I think. And unlike the Dash, the basic typing patterns are badly broken. L O L . and K I K , S W S X etc etc. Oh well. I await the Samsung OMNIA HD, or this new Memoir, ANYTHING with OLED aka AMOLED. I am so sick of not being able to use my phone (a Dash, naturally) in the sun. Or even partial shade.

AT&T slowing EDGE to force customers to switch to 3G?

Jan 7th 2009 10:50AM on Engadget Mobile

AT&T is not alone. TMobile is completely indifferent to the complete loss of Edge signal in my own neighborhood in NJ, which began the day 3g was implemented in the area. They deny the problem and the reps are of multiple different opinions about it. An actual lineman (so to speak) said there was nothing wrong with my local tower, though two reps have said that there are multiple reports.

T-Mobile G1 manual leaks out

Sep 25th 2008 7:05PM on Engadget Mobile

Wow, nice manual - I wonder if the phone has the ability to do ringtones, or any of the million and a half other functions they haven't mentioned, like what WIFI it supports, or, again, how big the screen is. Of the 48 pages, about 15 were legal pap. Plus the one about don't crawl into the back seat to get your ringing phone whilst driving.

How would you change HTC's Advantage X7510?

Aug 10th 2008 4:38PM on Engadget

One more thing would be to get rid of the magnets, or shield them somehow, so they don't have to warn their users not to put the device close to their wallet/credit cards, or even in one's purse.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
