Why, that’s at least $100 cheaper than the original price. This is the same 3.2-inch touchscreen phone with a 720 x 480 screen resolution. The same Meizu [...]

Owners of the Motorola Droid must be looking like the Incredible Hulk by now. Not only do their counterparts in Europe get to enjoy multi-touch, something U.S. Droid users have to do without–but in Europe, the price of the identical smartphone being sold by carriers has come down to almost nothing.

Many users and reviewers have noticed (duh) that the Motorola Droid’s camera autofocus feature isn’t working properly. It just snaps out all of a sudden. Now, all of a sudden, the problem is gone. The crazy thing is, they must’ve sneaked in a bug fix. People are getting paranoid, except that maybe there’s no bug [...]

One thing I seriously don’t like with the BlackBerry App World is that it’s limited to PayPal account owners only. It’s a prerequisite before you can start downloading apps from the App World, which to be honest, is quite a hassle.
