Want to get your BlackBerry OS groove on but fly under the radar in a seemingly “dump” phone? Or you could just be bored and looking for a project. You know how it can be. It doesn’t really matter because “Selith” of Chinese site “maxpda” must have had plenty of time on his hands with his project — getting the BlackBerry 8220 4.6 OS to run on a feature phone Nokia 5700. To quell naysayers, Selith followed up his original...

That’s the way the capitalist economy generally works — as supply for increased demand increases, prices drop. So why Verizon felt it was necessary to jack up the ETF for “advanced devices” to a ridiculous $350 is still news to me.

LG hasn’t really had much of an impact here in the states as they have in other countries, say their home turf back in Seoul. Even then, just because you’re the favored incumbent doesn’t mean it’s a set and...
When Nextel just isn’t good enough and you can’t risk smashing up your precious at the worksite, Verizon would like you to stop on by their neck of the woods and take a gander at their latest PTT offering: the CDM 8795. You may at first glance and even second glance pass right on by this fine display of mediocrity, however once you allow yourselves to get close you’ll notice that it isn’t that bad after all. While it won’t win any whiz bang...
