The Nuvifone range of Garmin-designed smartphones never really took off. While said company makes a killing in stand alone GPS devices, their smartphones were never all that great. Complicating matters were things such as being released with old Android 1.6 into a time when 2.0 was the norm. On top of that, updates have been extremely slow. A perfect example of this can be seen in how we’re just now getting the Android 2.1 update for installation — Android...

We knew it was coming — Twitter for Android. Well, “official” Twitter that is. From the initial looks of it and after 15 minutes of playing around with it, I give it a 3.7 out of 5 (absolutely no scientific reasoning behind that…). I mean, it seems a little plain to me. Not that I want a cluttered, heavy, slow app of course. It just seems like it’s missing something. The features are as one would expect from your typical Android Twitter...

I think I’ve finally figured out my favorite type of phone — slide-out qwerty + touchscreen. It’s the best of both worlds. You can be touchy or physical whenever the mode strikes you. I guess that’s why I love the form factor of the DROID.

The Samsung Moment is pretty much your only Android choice on Sprint if you’re the type who digs a full qwerty *physical* keyboard. Overall, it’s a pretty sweet phone (and I actually prefer it’s styling to the DROID’s I might add). Though, being stuck on Android 1.6 is certainly a party killer. Thankfully Android 2.1 is slated to make it’s way to the Moment in the near future. That phone is barely 6-months old (debuting in September 2009)...

Remember the big hubbub last time when upgrading from 2.0 –> 2.01? Everyone wanted it much faster than Verizon was rolling it out. This time with 2.1 it’s not any different. But that’s my job — to make your tech filled life easier. Verizon’s rollout schedule is nice as it is one final test of stability before a “mass” rollout like we’ll see within the next day or so. Even still, some just can’t wait *raises hand* and...
