Verizon’s LG Dare Full Review
July 1, 2008 – 4:48 am
The LG Dare is really Verizon Wireless’s attempt to fit in, to offer a phone that’s more like the AT&T LG Vu and Sprint Samsung Instinct, not to mention Apple’s similarly priced iPhone 3G. The truth is, the Dare may not be as glamorous or well-priced as the Instinct, but it has a better browser, a motion sensor and some cool software tricks that make it a fine phone for people who choose to remain in Verizon’s walled garden. As I think we’ve firmly established, we call these iPhone clones because they are made superficially with the look and feel of the iPhone in mind. They are not direct competitors to the iPhone, as they don’t run on a smart, open platform like iPhones—or Blackberry and Windows Mobile phones—do. The Dare, like the Instinct, is closed and proprietary, geared to customers who like much of what the carrier has to offer, and would just like a better way to make use of it. And after spending some time with the Dare, I can safely say that, much like the Instinct, it really does let you do that.
Easier Access:
For starters, Verizon has done away with its dependence on unchangeable, annoyingly deep menus. With the Dare, you can drag any app or function directly to the desktop for one-click access.
E-mail and Web:
Let me get this off my chest first: The Dare browser is WAY better than the Instinct’s, both in rendering speed and page layout. You can navigate Gizmodo with very little trouble, especially if you’re going read-only. Continue reading…

Verizon Wireless launched its version of the $99 Palm Centro and plans to follow up with a Nokia-made “Bat Phone” and a trio of LG feature phones, including the carrier’s first consumer-oriented phone with all-touchscreen operation and no dialing or QWERTY keypad.The Centro is Palm’s lowest-priced PDA phone to date, and it features CDMA 1x EV-DO high-speed data, touchscreen, hard QWERTY keyboard, and ability to be used as a wireless modem. With this price point, it’s intended to expand the smartphone market and entice people to step up from feature phones. Verizon’s $99 price is after $70 mail-in rebate with new two-year customer agreement.
The Nokia 6205 The Dark Knight edition has a generous set of features designed to enhance the mobile lifestyle. Touch-sensitive external music keys make it simple to access tracks purchased from Verizon Wireless’ V CAST Music service, while the crisp two-inch display that supports up to 262,000 colors, makes watching news, sports and entertainment content from V CAST Video more enjoyable.

Firefox Mobile :Fennec
June 13, 2008 – 5:15 am
The buzz about Firefox these days might be focused on the impending Firefox 3, but the folks at Mozilla are already thinking beyond that browser and beyond the PC. A blog post on Wednesday from Mozilla Labs’ head of user experience, Aza Raskin, shows off a video of a conceptual Firefox Mobile
The innovation, usability, and extensibility that has propelled Firefox to 200 million users is set to do the same for Firefox in a mobile setting.User experience is the most important aspect of having a compelling mobile product. Every bit of interaction and pixel of presentation counts when typing is laborious and screen sizes are minuscule.Designed for touch-screen interfaces not multitouch, like the iPhone the mobile Firefox browser opens up to reveal a bookmarks list and a “plus” button to open a new window. The browser controls are located to the left of the window and are accessible by panning horizontally. Continue reading…
