So I’ve got another, albeit lesser, reason to be happy with the folks out at Puremobile, who sent me a Sony Ericsson Aino to review.  This one actually turned out pretty well, though not quite as well as the Nokia they sent. The Sony Ericsson Aino is a slider-style quadband cell phone with a variety [...]

The folks out at Puremobile sent me a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic to review, and I have to admit, I’m downright tickled with this thing. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a candy bar-style smartphone with touchscreen controls, speakerphone, built-in stereo speakers, voice recorder, conference call capability, mobile email, mobile web, Java application capability, text messaging, MPEG-4 [...]

I’m often quick to chastise Blackberry cell phones for a lot of reasons, but today I have one less to have a problem with.  The folks out at Puremobile sent over a Blackberry Curve 8520 for me to try, and I was pleasantly surprised. The Blackberry Curve 8520 is a smartphone that offers mobile web [...]

The folks out at Puremobile sent me an AT&T Quickfire to try out, and it didn’t exactly turn out like I’d hoped it would.  Despite the fact that the phone has really nice aesthetics, and feels great in the palm of your hand, it just can’t bring the kind of capability you want in a [...]

The more Samsung cell phones I come in contact with, the less I like them.  Samsung has irked me almost relentlessly with lower quality phones and phones that do precious little more than tweak the design envelope just enough to avoid derisive mocking.  And despite the fact that the good folks out at Puremobile sent [...]

I’ll lead right off today by saying that I love the Nokia X3, one of which the folks out at PureMobile sent my way.  It’s a great phone with a whole lot of nifty options, but one unpleasant flaw–its design. The Nokia X3 is a slider-style cell phone with an FM radio, clock, calendar, organizer, [...]

So the crew out at Puremobile sent me another nifty little cell phone, and this time, it was a Blackberry.  More specifically, they sent the Blackberry Bold 2 9700. This was actually the first time I’d ever managed to lay hands on a Blackberry, so I was eager to find out how they worked, and [...]

So the folks out at Puremobile sent me a Nokia 6790 to have a look at, and sure enough, it’s another decent quality Nokia out of them.  About the worst thing you can do with this one is, interestingly, damn with faint praise. See, the Nokia 6790 comes with a lot of interesting addons–there’s a [...]
