We’ve seen a lot of the Samsung “Mandel” in the last few weeks, but we weren’t expecting this surprise. Microsoft has announced on their Windows Phone blog that the Samsung Focus 2 (formerly known as Mandel) will be launching on May 20th. The phone will be...

The Lumia 900 launch has not been without its hitches. First there was the data connectivity bug, and recently there has been a purple screen issue. To Nokia’s credit they have identified the early issues, and sent out updates quickly. On Twitter Nokia has addressed the situation...

For those of you who have yet to make the switch to Windows Phone, you might be happy to know that Amazon Wireless has dropped the price of the Lumia 900 again, offering it at a mere $49 compared to the $99 it retails for through AT&T and Best Buy. It’s a solid phone...

The Samsung Mandel is a phone we haven’t heard from in a while. It was said to be headed to AT&T about the same time as the Lumia 900 and Titan II, but that obviously never happened. A couple images of the Mandel have leaked that show a rather sexy device. The first image is of...

We’ve got the HTC Titan II in the house, and we’re taking it through the paces. The first thing we wanted to test is the big 16MP camera. The camera performs great in well lit environments as you can see below. Low light situations are expectedly worse. It’s easy to make out...
