Smartphones reviews at the MobileSpoon

War of the phones

With so many smartphones out there I am often being asked for my opinion about the new ones; Droid, Nexus, HD2, BlackBerry, iPhone etc.

So first, I must say, I have been changing my mind from time to time, phones are evolving, companies are changing their design, operating systems are changing and fast.

I can tell you that 2 years ago I was using a Windows Mobile phone, then I switched to an iPhone, went all the way to a BlackBerry device and now I'm back to the iPhone.

Every now and then I change my main phone to be a new model for the same of investigation and research, and therefore, my view of things evolves together with the changes in the mobile world.

Here's a list of some of the smartphones reviews we had here at the MobileSpoon – Enjoy!

iPhone vs. Android vs. WinMo vs. WebOS vs. BlackBerry – Fight! Why settle with a single review when we can compare them all together!? Here's some thoughts about the different mobile OS out there…

MobileSpoon Reviews The Nexus One: I was excited to put my hands on this precious gadget, but I was very much disappointed. It's not that bad, but my expectations were high, and I'm definitely not a fan of this one.

Samsung Omnia 2 – The Magic Is Gone: Same here, high expectations, very low satisfaction from a company I really like and a device that in its' first version made me really happy. Here too, I didn't find what I was looking for.

Review- One Night Stand With HTC HD2: what can I say? The beast of Windows Mobile, the animal, amazing specs, great shell disguise but same old Windows Mobile beneath it.

Review- HTC Touch Pro 2: I did not like the first Touch pro too much, this one is much better, but still a bit chubby for my pocket…

The Truth About The BlackBerry Bold: One of my favorites. Nothing fancy, nothing fun, but a working machine, that works, just like old refrigerators…

One night stand with BlackBerry Storm: The proof that RIM is not free of making mistakes… at least in my opinion. I would stick with the current form factor and leave the screen only style to Apple…

A List of All Operating Systems Running on Smartwatches [Wearables]

Traveling back from MWC15, I went over my smartwatch notes and noticed many of the Android players demonstrated smartwatches which were not running Android Wear. In an attempt to better understand the smartwatch market I’ve collected the names (and details) of the different operating systems used by today’s (and tomorrow’s) smartwatches. I’m happy to share with your the definitely incomplete list of wearable operating systems! Smartwatch Operating System – A Fragmented WorldAndroid WearProbably the OS with the fastest progress, Android Wear was recently reported to account for just 15% of smartwatch sales in 2014 (total of 700,000 devices). That’s not much, mainly because the platform was only introduced in the middle of the year and still suffers from serious limitations and battery life challenges. Android Wear OS is designed to be paired with Android smartphones (version 4.3 and on), but there are already rumors that an iOS app will be available soon. Android Wear is available most…

What's the meaning of "i" in iPhone, iPad?

Recently I've been thinking about the "I" meaning in all of Apple's products: iPod, iPad, iPhone… what's the "i" for? Internet? Nowadays it's not that cool any longer, isn't it? Internet is a given. Is it "i" like "me"? I looked for an answer and found it in an interesting article that included the following:"It was early 1997 and Steven P. Jobs had just recently returned to Apple as Interim Chief Executive Officer (At first he was just there to help and publicly stated that he did not want the full-time job at the time). Apple was about 6 months from full insolvency and company morale was at an all time low. There were warring factions and fiefdoms pitting any number of internal groups against each other, with each assigning blame for Apple’s slow demise. Steve Jobs spent his first few months cutting irrelevant products. He felt that there were two very important products to focus on: The Mac Product Line and The PowerB…
