iPhone is cool and more appealing and exciting than my previous Blackberry

I have been using my iphone quite a lot this week, especially to look at pictures of my family and listen to the great music I have stored. It's a super cool phone, I have to say I really do love the iPhone. It's handy to store memos for shopping and remiders of my day to busy life. It's a portable computer and it's still light weight and pretty cool. I had a Blackberry Bold before but I got bored of it, I hope RIM update the OS because compared to the likes of the iPhone and Android phone then it looks dull and ancient.

Just some of the reasons why I love my Treo 680

Thanks for all the kind words about my PATV appearance from last week. I just wanted to comment on why I still enjoy using the Treo 680 so stay with me here. The devise, well personally I think its stylish. I have had mine for a while now and i love every thing it has to offer to me. The device is nice and light weight ,and it allows you to either touchtype or you can use the keys. I enjoy using the camera funtion and of course organizing on the devise, I can plan and access my calendar and it is so easy.....yep I love my Treo 680. I have use my SD card to listen to music, which is a great capability. I think its so so important to have a case to proctect the treo in case you drop it, damages etc. What's a few pounds / dollars spent on a case, when at the end of the day it will save you loads of money in phone reparis especially if you drop the device.

Call quality is excellent, I love taking calls on it. And sending text messages is so easy to send,and quicky to type. The camera well it's great to take pictures of friends, family, whatever really, it just comes in really handy. I love every thing the treo 680 has to offer. Its spot on as I like to say. You can also play games which you can download they are great to play on the devise. Also the device so I can sync my pictures etc to my laptop, so there you are, just some of the reasons why I like the Treo 680.

Read MobilityToday's review of the Treo 500v

Read MobilityToday's review of the Treo 500v. I think they sum up the device nicely (My Overall impressions of the Treo 500v are its a good smartphone but far from revolutionary, its very similar in form and function to the Dash with the added benefit of 3G and a much better keyboard for one handed typing.)

iPhone users rejoice as they can use their unlocked iPhones again

iPhone users can rejoice as hackers have discovered a way to unbrick iPhones that upgraded to the new firmware and even better the iPhone Sim Free developers are also working on software that will unlock iPhones on updated to the new firmware. (Yesterday we reported how to unbrick an unlocked iPhone. Today we have discovered that you can send and receive calls, SMS and mails too, as well as surf the Web with it. You just have to use a TurboSIM card (like I did) and, according to the iPhone Sim Free people, any restored iPhone with their paid software installed (we have been unable to test this.) [Original article: Sunday September 30 11:56AM. Updated Monday October 3:26AM: it calls with iPhone Sim Free unlock too. Check the details after the jump])

Danger introduces Sidekick devices

I see Danger introduced a number of Sidekick devices yesterday. (Capping off months of rumor and speculation, T-Mobile and Danger have announced two new Sidekicks today targeting decidedly different segments of the market. The Sidekick LX takes over as the new king of the Hiptop hill, boasting a Sidekick-first wide QVGA display -- touted as incorporating technology borrowed from Sharp's AQUOS televisions, no less -- along with configurable mood lighting, 1.3 megapixel camera with flash, and 128MB worth of bundled microSD memory. Meanwhile, the 4.6 x 2.4 x 0.68-inch Sidekick Slide becomes the first Hiptop device to come from Motorola, the first to ditch the trademark swivel display, and the first to go on a serious diet (anyone who's used a Sidekick of old knows that it ain't exactly small) while still packing the same functionality and 1.3 megapixel cam as its big sib.) Engadget has more details for you.

The "iPhone Dev Team" have issued a statement

The "iPhone Dev Team" have issued a statement in counterpart to yesterday's statement from Apple advising people that unlocking will void warranty. (Based on download numbers, the iPhone Dev Team believes that, worldwide, several hundred thousand people have unlocked their iPhones. That number continues growing every day. The removal of the lock, a bug, was a major step forward in the iPhone development. It made the iPhone free and useful to anyone, not only to those in certain countries.) TUAW have posted the statement.
