Helio to release OZ Smartphone

Looks like Helio is releasing a smartphone named "OZ." Gizmodo has a tipster that has spilled the beans on this upcoming smartphone. This one will be a rebranded Pantech PN-810. It will include EV-DO, a 2.1-megapixel camera, 260k TFT LCD, and Bluetooth.

Looks good.

Tennis Shoe Phone

I remember the show Get Smart from my childhood days. Does that show my age? Maxwell Smart would use a shoe phone. It was a dress shoe and not a tennis shoe, but this still brings back memories of that long lost show.

AMEX Digital Skype Phone

Here's a very cool wireless Skype phone by AMEX Digital. The touchscreen keys make this is a very cool looking device.

Treo 700wx - Cool but buggy!

I decided to give up my Treo 700p for a 700wx. What's the difference? Well, the hardware is exactly the same but the 700wx runs Windows Mobile Pocket PC Version. It's a great concept but it's buggy. The Bluetooth is very dicey and nearly unusable unless you like reseting it every few hours. The PDA functions are nice but the screen is too small. The phone doesn't work as well as I'd like. Can you believe that when you hit the phone button a menu pops up? Only Microsoft would do something like that. Pressing the phone button should bring up the phone!

What I love about the Windows Mobile is contact pictures. Once you set a contact picture in your contacts, every email, text message, phone call etc., will include a picture of the person contacting you. This changes the entire experience for me. I love it!

I'm still playing with it and hoping the next version will be better. If they fix the Bluetooth bugs and get the phone to sound better, I'll be happy.
