Telus Milestone 2.2 Coming Q1 2011
by Pedram on August 25th, 2010

They call it Droid, we call it Milestone. They get 2.2 in August, we’re told not to hold our breath. Yesterday came news that Canada will in fact be getting 2.2 for the Milestone, just not until sometime next year. Verizon customers in the U.S. got their taste of Froyo this month and while  the European Milestone will be updated before the end of the year, Canadian customers are once … Read More

by Pedram on August 24th, 2010

Enter “about:debug” into the browser’s address bar.
Click your phone’s menu button.
Click the More icon.
Now Click Settings.

Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Codes Are In Your Phone!
by Pedram on August 23rd, 2010

I can name so many reasons why you would want to unlock your phone. Higher resale value, no more ridiculous roaming fees from our lovely Canadian carriers and freedom to switch between carriers just to name a few.

Now usually, manufacturers lock your phone to the carrier you buy it from and keep your unlock codes somewhere on their servers. This time, Samsung decided they’re gonna keep that unlock code right inside your … Read More

Bell No Longer Selling The HTC Legend?
by Pedram on August 22nd, 2010

Well, this is upsetting. One of the best looking Android phones which only recently saw the light of day on Bell and one that is promised to get 2.2 Froyo pretty soon is no more. This is due to “ongoing supply constraints from the manufacturer” according to a leaked screenshot and you can bet that’s got something to do with the AMOLED shortages plaguing so many phones.

Poll: Which Android Twitter Client Do You Use?
by Pedram on August 22nd, 2010

Another weekend, another poll. This time, it’s Twitter. I think Twitter is remarkable personally. Not everyone has to feel the same way but a microblog that’s 140 characters which gets pushed out to followers no matter where I go is my sort of thing.

Now sure, you can just go to Twitter’s website and pretty much do everything, even on your phone. But apps do a much better job of this, … Read More
