Samsung Omnia II gets broken down, screenshot by screenshot

You can also say the same thing about Android. The bare UI was very ordinary. Hence HTC comes in and rescue it with is Sense UI and that makes all the difference.

Tokyo 2009: Suzuki Swift plug-in hybrid

I would like to see a pure plug-in Electric SWIFT.

HTC Tilt2 now available on AT&T

No, it is in fact easier to read the screen when tilted if the phone is placed on the table.

HTC Imagio launches on Verizon: WinMo 6.5 and VCAST TV on October 6

Last time I heard, the much adored fruit phone is also made by some cheap chinese manufacturers using cheap labour.

HTC HD2 makes first official appearance in O2 UK catalog

Have been using HTC Touch Pro 2 running WM6.1 and it runs well. HTC Touch HD2 running WM6.5 and TouchFLO 2.5 should be fantastic. Many Apple fans and Android fans are so jealous that they will say anything to discredit this phone. I'd say don't blindly follow others. Make up your own mind.

Samsung's 12 megapixel SCH-W880 made official

Put in a real OS Windows Mobile 6.5, add the HTC TouchFLO user interface and I am sold. The current smartphones on the market all have crappy camera. This phone got a decent lens and sensor so it is very promising. And 720p video recording. That is a real bonus.

Archos 9 confirmed for October 22nd with $499 price tag

Not sure what's wrong with the stylus and resistive screen. All the tablet PCs to date have a stylus and resistive screen. It makes handwriting writing and drawing natural. Great for use in a classroom for notetaking. A capcitive screen is great for simple point and click on large buttons. But on a large sreen like this tablet, the buttons are large enough to click anyway, resisitve or capacitive. Accuracy of resistive screen is more important for me here.

HTC Leo benchmarked, leaves blisters

Sep 27th 2009 10:32PM on Engadget

Just got my HTC Touch Pro 2 and am quite happy with the speed. But if this phone runs 3 times faster, I wouldn't complaint :) HD2 is definitely a worthy upgrade to HD.

HTC Leo's TouchFLO 3D build demoed on video

Sep 25th 2009 11:01PM on Engadget

The TouchFLO 3D keeps getting better and better. It is amazing how a technology company like HTC manages to create a very nice UI that would put many companies to shame. No, I don't just mean MS. Apple too. Go HTC!

Sony's CyberShot DSC-TX1 and DSC-WX1 cameras boast pet-friendly settings, 'Exmor R' sensor for low-light scenarios

Aug 6th 2009 3:45AM on Engadget

It would be interesting to see how good this CMOS sensor is when compared to the CCD sensor that most of the compact digital cameras are using these days. I hope this CMOS sensor can live up to its claim and deliver good image/video quality that is lacking in most compact digtital cameras.

And I don't mind the resolution is 10 Mpx as that is already way too high for most app. Again it is image quality, not resolution that I want.

Finally I wish Sony would support SD memory card. But that is a wishful thinking, unfortunately.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
