Sony Ericsson W595 spied? {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 6th 2008 1:57PM I still don't understand whats happening with the w760 . It's essentially a w580 with upgrades. I thought it would more or replace the w580 when it came out, but no carriers (at&t) are taking any interest and it's just sitting around being better.
Instead of upgrading their phone line at&t just adds the same phone in new colors. So you get the same year old phone, but now it's RED! (which of coarse the newer w760 comes in anyway) Sorry at&t I'm not sold.
Sony Ericsson W580i for AT&T, now with more red {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 26th 2008 8:07PM w760? Anyone? Sony? 580 is showing its age a bit now and dangling the 760 for a while. I wasn't holding out on getting a walkman phone because it's red or bust I'm holding out because I want current technology.
How would you change LG's Vu? {Engadget Mobile}
May 30th 2008 10:17PM I know the US gets dead last cellphone tech most of the time, but having a device in mid 2008 with Bluetooth 1.2 is pretty cheap/lame. Even a basic device now can stand to update to atleast 2.0, but this isn't some cheapo candybar phone. 1.2 has been around since 2003, 2.0 since late 2004, and 2.1 since last year.
Granted the adoption rate is slow and not many companies have upgraded to 2.1, but using tech from 5 years ago in you're fancy new touch screen phone? I need a new phone as my contract for the past 2 years just expired, I considered the Vu until, no WIFI and BT 1.2. My 2 year old phone has more advanced technology.
I've also yet to having any luck with pricing from att's website.
Nokia showcases 6600 fold, 6600 slide, and 3600 slide {Engadget Mobile}
Apr 28th 2008 12:39PM Nokia needs to make more phones. I hate having to go with the likes of Sony Ericsson, Motarola and LG. But both Nokia and Samsung, who I trust far more for cell phone tech, just aren't offering as much variety as they used to. It's either a bulky smart phone with more than I need, or a lack less budget phone.
This looks promising but here I am ready to upgrade now and my options are old or budget tech from nokia/samsung, or flashy crap tech from sony/lg. I miss you nokia
Logitec's Bluetooth 2.1+EDR adapter offers 300 foot range and 5x more battery life {Engadget}
Apr 4th 2008 5:48AM Finally. As far as I'm aware this is the first 2.1 bluetooth dongle to hit streets. Lame considering the technology's been around since last summer. Just hope it hits state side soon. P.S. Cell phone companies want to take note?
How would you change the outcome of the format war? {Engadget}
Feb 22nd 2008 7:00PM I would make it punishable to death to call the "war" "officially over", A)more than once B)when it is not.
not out to whip the proverbial dead hoarse? There's not enough room to post all the links to format war stories over the past couple of months. Where's the ignore format war stories link?
Halo celeb victim of repeated account hacks, Xbox Live "customer support" {Engadget}

That's ironic because everyone I know in the phreaking and hacking community is ashamed of crunch.
I sat next to him for a bit at the last hope. Couldn't figure out how to use his cell phone. His friend/boy toy ("maybe google it..") had to show him how to use it.
I would agree there are times when it's worth arguing the put forth definition of hacked or hacking. You know, when it's blatant. When the news reports about the man who "hacked the cafe's wireless". When really all he did was connect to the open AP from his car as opposed to inside the cafe.
This, is not one of those occasions. Write the places that print stories like one above when you see them if it really bothers you.

Although everyone I knew told me not to get a sony cell phone (including people who work in the cell phone industry) I went ahead an got a W600i for it's features. Of coarse soon after that cingular dropped it from their line up because of the consistent amount of problems it had. The same problems I started having. And after reading forums problems a lot of sony phones(edit: sony products) have.
Trust me their not doing this because they care about the consumer. Their doing this because the problem was big enough that it would come back to bite them in the ass TOO much.
I'm on my 3rd replacement now and as soon as the time comes to renew the contract I'm going back to nokia or samsung.
ATI Radeon HD 3800 series benchmarked: "ATI should be truly proud" {Engadget}
Nov 15th 2007 10:18AM Worth mentioning for those unaware, ATI recently changed their driver policy in regards to linux. Allowing people to choose between their proprietary linux drivers or community created open source drivers.
OLPC XO and iRobot Create brought together for telepresence hack {Engadget}
Nov 15th 2007 3:03AM @nikola
Yeah because the project is really raking in SOOO much money. You should see the OLPC yacht Negroponte's got out here.
WTF are you talking about? How is this well designed effort to get digital divide gap decreased a scam?
Do you think because someone is using ONE for a silly hack the whole project is stupid?
