Verizon's Droid is a series, not just a phone; Droid Eris coming from HTC

Oct 24th 2009 1:10PM on Engadget Mobile

Heh, Discordians are going to mighty happy to have a phone named their Goddess.

AT&T's 3G MicroCell tested and reviewed by Charlottean: yes, it works

Phone companies charging you for their inadequacy in network infrastructure. Hell why build towers at all now? If a customer is complaining about QoS in their area it is now because they didn't have the money to buy all the "proper" equipment.

Sprint newsletter lets slip Instinct HD

I don't get it, what is so "HD" about it?

Sprint's Samsung M240 makes no attempt to be high-end

Good, I keep turning a lot of people away from the contract carriers to Jitterbug because they want a basic phone. But the commissions for contracts are so much higher. Thanks Sprint for actually creating a basic phone, I'm so tired of hearing "I don't even want a camera".

Samsung Instinct HD pops up on Best Buy's website with 5 megapixel camera, TV out

Aug 23rd 2009 6:17PM on Engadget Mobile

I don't see how a camera with a sensor size small enough for cellphones could actually record "HD" (what ever that means). Sounds like some up-conversion.
Although, since 720p or even 1080p are each very small resolutions, compared to the size of a 5 megapixel image, wouldn't that make any camera sporting anything larger than a 0.9 MP (1280 x 720) sensor capable of using the HD buzzword?

USAA's Deposit@Mobile app puts check deposits a mug shot away

@Brad

They have been doing this for years on PCs. Using the routing numbers and text recognition software they have nothing to worry about. Anything that doesn't check out the cheque will throw it up for review to a real person.

Furthermore, you do realize that most cheques going through the bank are never looked at, and simply electronically scanned.

LG's phone division cooking up netbook integration, 'blooming' keyboards, and a form factor you've never seen

Oh god, they used the word synergy.

Cigarette lighter phone could light up your death sticks, life

Why did you assume I smoked? I merely was commenting on the relationship this post could have with certain demographics of engadget's readers.

After dealing with people like you though, I think I see the attractiveness of the prospect.

Bit harsh on the anti-smoking rhetoric. Might want to think about your audience...

Win a limited edition LG Versa Transformers phone from Engadget and LG!

Wouldn't mind this one bit.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
