How about another look at the well known about BlackBerry 9800 Slider? Compliments of Engadget, this early exclusive runs through the full gamut of hardware related things and even touches on the OS 6 running underneath. Speaking of which, OS 6 on this latest piece of hardware has subtle (read: very subtle) UI tweaks. They didn’t jump out at me the first, or even second time through. We’ll see if your eyes are more eagle-like than mine. On the hardware front,...

For as much as we rag on AT&T (and yeah, I kind of like it) it’s always nice to hear of something good coming from Ma Bell. Believe me, they need the good press more than anyone right now.

Basically a Galaxy S re-named, the Samsung Captivate is a slick looking unit along with some pretty compelling hardware: 4-ish inch AMOLED, 5-megapixel camera, 1GHz processor, and 16GB of internal memory. Don’t expect this hot piece of action to drop...

Just like the Moto Backflip before it, AT&T is needlessly neuteruing (and ruining) the HTC Aria by removing the ability to install apps outside of the Android Market, removing stock apps that compete with AT&T’s offerings, and filling up the phone with...
