Nov 11th
The Sony Ericsson Xperia ‘Pureness’ has made an appearance on the Canadian Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) site… a move that will almost certainly see the device make its debut on a Canadian carrier in the near future. My money would be on a January 2010 launch, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Of course, we’re not talking about the official ROM update, but something that requires a little effort, yet More >

f you know that your personal happiness lies somewhere in the Verizon / Android abyss but neither the Droid nor the Droid Eris are hitting the spot, you might consider trying something completely out of left field.

HTC HD2 ripped to shreds, probably in the name of science
Nov 11th
Hello there, HD2. To be honest, it’s a bit soon in our relationship to be seeing all your inner workings — not that we mind. The folks on the xda-developers forums have done the duty of tearing down HTC’s impressively skinned Windows Mobile 6.5 device. Not much to glean from the snapshots, but if you More >

Nov 11th
Super Mario Bros. Wii doesn’t come out here in North America for another five days, but, for whatever reason, it comes out in Australia in two days! That explains why you can find the world’s first review (nearest I can tell) on IGN Australia. The Web site gave the game a 9.2 (I swear, these More >

The island of misfit phones
Nov 9th
So AT&T has a problem: even after early and vociferous defections by bloggers, they’ve been getting creamed for sub-par service everywhere, especially left and right coast cities that rhyme with Blue Pork and Fan Fanfisco. Verizon is stepping into that breech by releasing these clever commercials touting its network over AT&Ts. But, as Mr. Fireball More >
