WES 2008 – The Blackberry Conference

Posted on 16 May 2008

Well folks, here we are in sunny Orlando, Florida. It’s the time of the year again for WES, otherwise known as the Wireless Enterprise Symposium. For those of you who don’t know what WES is, think of it as the biggest gathering of Blackberry Crack addicts from around the world; they all show up for this. Just in case any of you were sleeping under a rock yesterday, the Blackberry 9000 series, aka the “Bold” was finally officially announced. What do you think, do we finally have an all in one Blackberry? Lets see: 624mhz processor 1gb of internal memory HSDPA/EDGE with an EVDO sister right around the corner.

The HTC S710 (Vox) Quick Review

Posted on 16 June 2007

As a person who is constantly looking for the next best device for business use, it amazes me that no one came up with this design before HTC did. A quote straight from PhoneArena.Com says it all:  The HTC S710 is the most compact messaging phone with an auto-sliding QWERTY keyboard. It is the first smartphone powered by the new Windows Mobile 6 Standard platform.
