Poor Nexus One owners. They have in their possession the top of the line Android handset (for now) and yet it’s half broken. Since launch, N1 users have been complaining of fairly widespread 3G connectivity issues, with their phones rolling back to homely ‘ol EDGE in areas that are plenty saturated with 3G particles. To remedy this, Google and T-Mobile pushed out an update many days back that was claimed to cure N1 users’ 3G woes. Now that everyone...
The whole fiasco with the Andriod 2.1 update and Flash won’t likely disappear anytime soon. It looks as if for now, however, we’re all going to have to suck it up and deal with it. Similar to many others, when I saw there was a very strong possibility that 2.1+ devices were the only ones to receive the Android update, I voiced my displeasure. There’s isn’t much I can do since I’m not very into coding/programming though. Why would Google...
By now I’m sure you’ve seen at least half a billion blog posts about the Motorola DROID getting the Android 2.1 OTA update starting sometime this week. I myself even touched on it earlier.

While I am genuinely happy for the Moto DROID user base as a whole, I find myself slightly disappointed. Sure...

The launcher on the Moto DROID official 2.1 OS uses the same pull-tab launcher, not the new 3D cube style of the Nexus One. Furthermore, the live wallpapers that are gimmicky yet cool are also MIA. It’s not all bad however. For instance, multi-touch is now supported in the browser (finally) and the...
Walmart may be the most peoples’ favorite bargain supercenter, but a Nexus One retailer it is not. Reports of a multi-carrier supporting Nexus One coming to Walmart were rampant today. It’s easy to get carried away. A phone that is so far only really being supported on one carrier suddenly pops up with quad-carrier support and a new sub-$100 price tag has all the right ingredients for a show stopper. The show stopper came in the form of Walmart company...
