Apple taps MTS to bring iPhone 3G to Russia {Engadget}
Aug 22nd 2008 2:08PM Stop talking politics here, guyz! Russians don't deserving iPhones... Americans being the inventors of that sexy [little thing called] iPhone... bla-bla-bla! I was laughing my living daylights off listening to the names of some 2008 Olympic Games champions from Australia, Germany and some other countries - they sounded 100000% Russian to me! But I don't care about those guys' nationality - neither do I believe we, Russians, "deserve" iPhone (or not) nor that iPhone was "invented" by 100% Americans (remember? "designed in California, made in China"!!!) iPhone is really a sexy thing with some advantages and some disadvantages. Some like it, some hate it. For me, it's just a cool high-tech device making my life easier the elegant way. BTW, we have 4 of 'em in our family - and, yes, we got the first 1g ones the same day iPhone became available in US. And, yes, we got them both jailbroken and unlocked the same day we got them.

Aug 22nd 2008 1:55PM no, seriously, folks! i'm surprised this is becoming an 'mtv celebrity deathmatch' here! :) stop this propaganda b.shit, please! talking of iphone i'm glad 3g iphone "will become available to literally everybody in russia" - not only those couple of hundred thousand geeks who got [at least] one the same day you americans started to sell them in the us. :))))))) and i'm tired of those of you saying "russians don't deserve iphones", too - remember, the iphone got pwned first in ... right! - russia!
Nokia's 7900 Crystal Prism could be worse {Engadget}
Jan 23rd 2008 9:02AM I've been using this puppy for about 2 months now - it was supposed to replace my really slow n73me. I do admire the infernal blue LED light on top panel, the phone's ability to change the color of its keypad and display backlight, but! - The display is extremely small and the flavour of Symbian installed is crippled if compared even to my old n73me.
I've been using around 12 different Nokia mobile phone models for over 15 years. And I always was thinking I'd stick to Nokia forever. But I was wrong. Their phones get slow and buggy after using them for about 6 months, their latest Symbian versions are giving me compatibility issues (older programs like FlashSMS do not work). After having used iPhone for a month now, I must say there is no phone like [jailbroken] iPhone!

Samsung reveals wireless 8-inch SPF-83V digiframe {Engadget}
Dec 14th 2007 11:44AM I run a Toni&Guy beauty shop in Perm, Russia. And I have a triple portrait-oriented 40" plasma screens set running a loop'd slide-show of haircut models (and they are mostly portrait-oriented). Customers are mesmerized. Ain't this a good digiframe example?
Of course, I didn't use any out-of-the-box retail solution: first I tried a CF-based SanDisk Photo Album, then (because of performance issues) I had to switch to a PC-based solution syncroneously rendering 3 different motives to 3 separate "digiframes" at a time.
Samsung reveals wireless 8-inch SPF-83V digiframe {Engadget}
Dec 14th 2007 11:30AM I've been using this digiframe for about a month now. Buggy installer, occasionally some "fuzzy-logic" performance as a digiframe, but a really great, neat small USB monitor!!!
The ONLY thing I am really missing is Sideshow... :|
I am using MAC filtering instead of WEP or WPA and it works just fine (look, no hands even after on/off!). One great product!
Frankly, I do not approve of "waiting for the real full-blown..." something, I am a geek, not a plain vanilla flavor consumer. :)
PhotoVu's 19-inch widescreen digital picture frame {Engadget}
Jul 26th 2007 11:52AM fully agree! i've done the same - bought a samsung 19 inch wide display with video-in, added a flash card reader with a remote control - and that's it!
Russia's GPS-challenging Glonass system nearing completion {Engadget}
Apr 5th 2007 1:54AM using gps in agriculture, say, for parallel tracking or even autotrack (john deere), requires accuracy of about an inch max. high-accuracy signal's subscription is about 1.500 bucks a year. so gps competition IS going to drive prices down.
Netgear SPH101 Skype WiFi Phone unboxing and hands-on! {Engadget}
Sep 19th 2006 12:58AM Anybody's got an idea if it works thru WEP-enabled access points? And if the SSID is not being broadcasted for safety reasons? I'm asking 'cause I just bought an AE Internet Radio which is UNABLE to get connected to MOST of access points around me because of above reasons... At the moment I'm using the DU@Lphone for Skype calls which requires my notebook to be contstantly on and I would love to jump over to a PC-less Skype mobile like this one!

Sep 19th 2006 12:53AM Skype is no replacement for a cell phone, that's for sure. However if you're into a transnational biz like me with frequent calls to several overseas locations, you start to appreciate your limit-free broadband plan saving you lots of bucks on those endless conversations. Ever wondered what a call from Russia to Australia might cost? - ehhhh, from a mobile-to-mobile?.. ;-)
