Filed Under: Android News by Android NewsPad — Comments Off on Samsung Stratosphere – Verizon’s latest QWERTY phone has the worst possible timing [Phone Review]
November 22, 2011

I haven’t had my hands on a Samsung device in a while, but I’ll admit I am a bit biased towards them. I like plastic vs metal casing, a sleek black design appeals to me more than slate gray, and I’m a sucker for AMOLED displays.

Remember in The Fox and the Hound how Tod is a likeable, heroic fox that ends up saving the day in the end? He must be from a different breed of fox (the Disney breed?) than the ones you’ll meet in Chicken Coup Remix HD, because these foxes are nothing but muderous, bloodthirsty creatures with only one goal in mind: eat all your brainless chickens.

Why do I call the chickens brainless (other  [Read More…]

November 20, 2011

The Motorola Droid and Motorola Razr were both game-changing phones. The Razr introduced a slim, stylish phone at a time when devices would never be considered sexy. The Droid had a similar impact on the smartphone industry, but not because of its looks.

We’ve all been there: a maniacal evil genius has you in the thick of his trap, and the only way to escape his series of death beams is to reflect them away from you using whatever is at your disposal. Maybe it’s a nickel, maybe you’ve got a lot of mirrors at your disposal. At any rate, we all know the only way we got out of the trap (and saved  [Read More…]
