Carrying a 4.3” HD screen under a piano black glass that is mounted on a poly-carbonate black-matte body, they have sent out a man in an Armani suit. Check out our full review of the Sony Xperia S after the jump.

BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 Review

I’ve been using smartphones for more than half a decade now having tried almost all types of smartphones except for one, the BlackBerry. Five years ago, BlackBerry would be synonymous to enterprise phones. An ordinary consumer wouldn’t even dare to get one. But now, it’s totally different. You’d see normal people carrying a BlackBerry even if they don’t have an Outlook email. “CrackBerries” are so addicted with their phones. Check out our full review of the BlackBerry Curve 3G after the jump, my first for a BlackBerry smartphone.

Did iTunes kill WinAmp?

Just a thought. In the last year or so, I found myself using iTunes more often than before mainly because I also listen to podcasts along with my iPod Nano’s playlist.

WinAmpTen years ago, when I first found out about WinAmp, it rocked. One of the top apps I would install on a new PC would be WinAmp. Now, I don’t even see it installed on my laptop. iTunes just ruled that area seconded by Windows Media Player 11.

The last time I remember using WinAmp was when I installed a plugin in it allowing me to download MP3s from my old iPod to my desktop PC.

I guess it goes with the fact that people who have iPods will heavuly rely on iTunes to manage their media files rather than sticking with their old WinAmp player.

Now, if WinAmp could do something to manage my iPod the same way as iTunes, I would gladly switch back.

Anybody else still using WinAmp?

Want a cheap 3G phone? Try Nokia 6233


Taking a hint from Jayvee, I did some quick window shopping for a new phone yesterday. I don’t have enough budget for an N73 so I guess I’ll settle with the N6233 first.

Nokia 6233

The specs:

Nokia 6233
* 3G, GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth, Infrared
* High quality sound through stereo speakers and 3D surround sound
* Up to 70MB total memory (6MB internal + 64MB memory card) for storing videos, pictures, and messages
* 2-megapixel camera with 8x smooth, digital zoom and landscape mode
* Stereo FM radio and music player
* Enhanced Java email client for easy sending and receiving of information
* Spam filter to avoid junk mail
* Supports video sharing, streaming, and recording capabilities
* Video, MP3, eACC+, and 64-bit polyphonic ringing tones
* Supports up to 2GB of expandable, microSD memory

As long as I could get it to work with 3G or HSDPA, I’m cool with it. Read my post on a practical mobile 3g solution at PTB.
