Watch on YouTubeSouthwest Airlines, Surprise Mobility….
Posted by Chris Leckness on Apr 05, 2009 | Comments
So, I use Southwest Airlines for a couple reasons when i fly to Vegas. The main reason is the direct flight from Birmingham to Vegas and the other is the fact that they are one of the last airlines left that do not charge for luggage. I got ready to fly home from Vegas last night and I was bummed with the Michigan St. vs Uconn game starting. We got on the plane a couple minutes into the game. We got airborne and 10 minutes...

AT&T’s Nokia N71 Hands On
Posted by Chris Leckness on Apr 01, 2009 | Comments
If you are willing to step outside our Windows Mobile confort zone and the slim, QWERTY is up your alley, then the Nokia N71 could be up your alley. This thing is quite light and just as then as the HTC Snap that was announced today. I know that I have been trying to get outside of just using Windows Mobile myself. I had a brief time with a few Nokia devices today and plan to get some more intimate time later this week....
Samsung SWD-M100
Posted by Chris Leckness on Apr 01, 2009 | Comments
I have to ask Samsung what is up with their model numbers. Come on, call it something cool like the Samsung Propel. SWD-M100 just doesn’t have a ring to it. After a little time playing with this thing while tethered, I think it’s a nice little device. It’s more like a powerful Pocket PC like phone than a UMPC or a MID or whatever we are calling it. Enjoy a little eye candy here…

Hands On With The HTC Snap
Posted by Chris Leckness on Apr 01, 2009 | Comments
Thin and light. That’s all you need to know about the Snap. Seriously. I got some more time with this hot HTC Windows Mobile Smartphone that HTC announced today. I think this is going to be quite hot. Think about how hot the Dash could have been, throw some more experience at making smartphones in, and Windows Mobile and you a serious contender to the Nokia E71, the BlackJack devices, and even the Blackberries....
HTC Snap – The Dash, Just Better
Posted by Chris Leckness on Apr 01, 2009 | Comments
Here you are my friends, the HTC Snap. This is the new and improved T-Mobile Dash on steroids. HTC built this one based on the input and desires of enthusiasts and to me, it looks like they have hit a HOMERUN! It’s got a full qwerty keyboard, running Windows Mobile 6.1, 256MB ROM & 192MB RAM, MicroSD Slot, 1500mAh battery, all the HSDPA and such you can handle, 2 Megapixel camera, and even a Blackberry’ish...

I got a chance to play around with a few of HTC’s hot new phones tonight. Of the 3, the HTC Touch Pro 2 was the hottest. I totally want one of these now. The look and feel make me wanna toss my Fuze in a river now.

A Little Intimate Time with the HTC Magic
Posted by Chris Leckness on Apr 01, 2009 | Comments
This little Android powered HTC phone is pretty nice, but the form factor just doesn’t do it for me, not to mention that I am not much of an Android fan. I still gave this one a little camera time too.

Posted by Chris Leckness on Mar 30, 2009 | Comments

Skype for iPhone: It’s official
Posted by Chris Leckness on Mar 30, 2009 | Comments
Sorry Cnet, I just cut and pasted your title. There is not better way of putting it though. This is apparently going to be released and made available from iTunes on Tuesday at CTIA, but Cnet got some time with it a touch early.
Months after teasing us at CES with an announcement of Skype’s native VoIP client for the iPhone, the free Skype for iPhone will finally be available to download from the iTunes App Store...
CTIA 2009 – What to Expect?
Posted by Chris Leckness on Mar 29, 2009 | Comments
That’s a good question and one that Phone Arena has taken some time to speculate/formulate. Between the 4 scheduled events that have HTC in the title that I have setup for next week, I plan to hit the floor and mingle with some carrier PR folks, but what exactly is going to drop that is new and/or jaw dropping? One of the lingering issues that CTIA has suffered the last couple years is that it follows shortly...
Samsung Omnia and CTIA Wireless 2009 in Las Vegas
Posted by Chris Leckness on Mar 09, 2009 | Comments
What do they have in common? They are both going to be in Las Vegas April 1st to the 4th, along with myself. I will be attending the CTIA Wireless Convention in Vegas. I try to attend at least 1 of these shows each year.
I am putting this out here early this time. If you want to meet up in Vegas, let me know now. Let’s set something up. I normally get a couple emails after an event saying that they would love to...
CTIA 2008 – Lots of Windows Mobile News Incoming!
Posted by Chris Leckness on Sep 10, 2008 | Comments
For the 2nd show in a row, I have decided not to attend. This is the time where I start to regret that choice. I do so much love checking out all that is coming and all that is announced at the CTIA shows. CTIA was made for me. Ok, enough of my sadness to bring you down, let’s talk CTIA. Since we are not there, I decided that I will let the other folks here at Mobilitysite post the tidbits that they think are share-worthy...
