Here’s Helio’s newest phone, the Mysto. It’s similar to the Fin in that they’re both Samsung phones except the Mysto has a 2mp camera while the Fin has 3mp. The Mysto is a slider and has built-in voice recognition software. I thought the Fin was an okay phone, let’s see what I think about the Mysto.

No it’s not a new Travel website, Sony Ericsson describes XPERIA as their new premium sub brand.
The XPERIA X1 is the first device in ther new brand. It’s a sweet looking Pocket PC (I assume since it has a touch screen) phone with a 3″ 800×480 widescreen display, curved slide out QWERTY keyboard, XPERIA panels WiFi, BT, aGPS, 3.2 megapixels camera plus there will be a model with support for North American HSDPA. Despite the hefty feature set the X1 weighs approx 145g and is 110×53x16.7 (it’s relatively thin). There’s support for Micro SD plus a mini USB port (horray!)
From the pictures it appears that SE has done a lot of customization to the device.
North American availability is expected in Q2 2008. (more…)

Okay, here’s the story; A while back I used to live in a small apartment downtown. Back then I had the Universal Remote Control MX700; a PC programmable IR (infrared) remote. It worked great and had a editor which was extremely powerful. It had a LCD screen with buttons next to it where you could create your own buttons along with hard buttons. The program you use to edit the remote let you redefine every button, there were punch through buttons (like you can make it so that the volume buttons always control receiver no matter whether you’re watching TV, playing video games, etc), macros, push and hold macros, etc. The only problem I had with this remote was that you had to aim it. It doesn’t sound like a big problem (and it isn’t) but some macros can take a few seconds to execute.

Here’s my review of the Nokia’s n95-3. The ‘3′ means it’s the North American version of the n95. The original n95 will work fine in NA but the HSDPA won’t operate on the frequencies here.
It’s got almost every feature you can think of: 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, GPS, WiFi, HSDPA, etc, etc.

The arrival of the Sony Ericsson k850i on Rogers Wireless has been confirmed! Canada’s first 5.0 MP camera phone has been launched by Rogers and will be hitting store shelves by weeks end. Rogers’ memory card promotion extends to this phone which will give you an 8 GB card for free on a 3 year term. Locked into a 3 year term with a Vision add-on will get you the k850i for $199, without a Vision add-on $299. The phone on a 2 or 1 year term will set you back $350 and $400 respectively.

Voce Wireless, a MVNO of AT&T, has apparently shut down. Customers of the premium provider have reported zero service and being doubled billed for service.
A now unemployed Voce employee posted the following information on Voce Class Action.
First things first, to port out of the “Voce Hybrid” network, you should provide the following information:Carrier name: Voce Wholesale
Bill address: 27599 Riverview Center Blvd. Bonita Springs, FL 34134
Account number: 90210000
PIN (if requested): Not applicable
(We heard from the carrier that the ports were delayed yesterday due to volume, but numbers are being released.)
Regarding the double bills, it is best to contact your credit card company immediately and request a charge back, as it is rumored that the new owners charged cards for service to be provided in February.
Finally, a quick update on what has transpired: Voce was purchased in early January by SunCal Midwest, LLC, represented by Anthony Roselli, Brian Richards and Tom Malanca. The intent of the purchase was for SunCal Midwest to maintain and grow the core Voce business, using its connections with enterprise customers. The new owners have thus far failed to meet their end of the deal, including paying employees and vendors. The prior management of Voce resigned or was shut out by the new owners after the sale. We direct all questions to the current CEO/President of Voce, Brian Richards. He can be reached at brian@voce.com
We are deeply disappointed and sorry for your inconveniences.
Head over to Voce Class Action for further information.

While headsets have become very common over the years, I feel they haven’t really reached a point where you aren’t sacrificing something by using them. Typically, the sacrifice you make is sound quality.
The Jawbone headset claims to be “the best rated headset ever”. Is it? Read on.
