It’s been a long, long, long road for the BlackBerry Bold. Ever since it was spotted and leaked in the late 17th century, people have been hailing it as one of the sickest phones ever created. And then it faced delays. And then 3G was poor. And then more delays. Well it seems as if [...]

Lets be honest, we can’t ALL have the Touch Pro can we? Not everyone wants to dump his or her life savings into a phone these days. While, if you fit into that category and enjoy that extra dose of an actual alphanumeric keyboard, then HTC has just released the device for you. Enter, the [...]

They say immitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so I guess the iPhone should feel glad to have another high-end device to share its problems with.
