Alright yes we have officially hit battle of the KRZR's in Canada. Now that every top Wireless carrier has it, Including Rogers, Bell and Telus. Who's missing out? Fido but who knows that could change next year.
Everyone has there KRZR at the same price point of $199.99 on three year contract (with the expectation of Bell saving you a whole 5 cents). So you’re probably wondering what makes these three KRZR's different? Well the biggest difference to start with is that the KRZR K1 offered by Rogers Wireless sports a 2 megapixel camera and comes in a Blue colour; however it looses the external touch sensitive media keys. The KRZR K1m offered by both Bell and Telus comes in a slick Silver/Charcoal colour but features a 1.3 megapixel camera and has external touch sensitive media keys to control your music.
Now it’s down to the two KRZR K1m's. The Telus KRZR supports French menus where Bell's doesn't. As well it supports XM radio where Bell doesn't offer it. In Bell's defense they are planning a software upgrade in April 2007 that you can register for which might make way for new features.
So basically everyone is going to be pushing the KRZR as the next RAZR series and in time we may even see different colour variants and price drops but for now you just need to decide what you’re looking for more music or more camera.

 Howard has just posted his review of the Nokia 6126, a mid-range series 40 Nokia with good features and great price tag.
"Many of my friends often ask me which phone they should buy. My first instinct is to recommend the latest and greatest phone with all the features. The problem with this is that the latest and greatest are usually priced outside of their budgets.
The Nokia 6126 has some features but it's reasonably priced which makes it an intriguing choice if you want a new phone but don't want to break the bank."

 Howard has just reviewed the Glofish x500 smartphone. The x500 is a Pocket PC Phone with a larger design and built-in GPS.
"These days when you think of Pocket PC phones, images of HTC devices usually pop up. There's a reason for it as HTC generally make great hardware that improves with each new generation. Anyways as good as HTC is, they're not the only show in town. ETEN has been quietly churning out their own competitors. I reviewed ETEN M500 and M600 a while back which to be blunt were inferior to their HTC competitors. This is due mostly to their inferior build quality. They weren't that cheaply built but they just weren't as solid as their HTC counterparts."
