Review: Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 The Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 is like the Samsung Galaxy Note except that it’s a bit thicker, runs on Android 2.2 Froyo, has lower specs (including screen resolution), and it has no telephone or 3G functionality. In other words it’s Samsung’s answer to Apple’s highly successful iPod Touch. […]
Review: BlackBerry Curve 9380 The BlackBerry Curve 9380 is the entry level full-touch smartphone offered by Research In Motion. When this was first announced in Jakarta, Indonesia, people were surprised because they were probably expecting a full-touch Torch but not a full-touch Curve model. With the Curve 9380 you get a compact, pocketable, lightweight smartphone […]
