    From the moment you pick up the Samsung Galaxy S6, the upgrades to the mobile device are immediately obvious, and they’re welcome considering how the new phone feels much more premium than any of its predecessors.

    Bell’s sour cell: When mistakes ruin a great thing

    by W. Andrew Powell August 28, 2010
    by W. Andrew Powell August 28, 2010

    I have a story to share about a great phone that has made me a little angry this week. If you’ve dealt with cell phone companies at all in the last couple of years though, I’m betting you won’t be too surprised.

    Instinct could cure Canada’s mobile malaise

    by W. Andrew Powell July 3, 2008
    by W. Andrew Powell July 3, 2008

    Whenever I’m at a press event and I run into James, I know at some point in the night we’re going to be laughing at the latest dumb move by Canadian mobile phone companies. I’m an ardent fan of cool cell phone technology, and James is such a fanatic he owns a cross-border shopped mobile device that is currently not even sold in Canada.

    HTC Touch: It feels so right

    by W. Andrew Powell May 2, 2008
    by W. Andrew Powell May 2, 2008

    For the past couple of weeks I’ve been toying with Bell’s HTC Touch phone, and I’m a bit of a fan, with one minor disclaimer. My first impression has definitely been on the “wow” side of things though. I love the size of the phone, the controls are straightforward, and I like all of the features. The only place where the phone loses me is when I actually make a call and boom, every application on the phone opens.

    BlackBerry Pearl does business and pleasure

    by W. Andrew Powell March 20, 2008
    by W. Andrew Powell March 20, 2008

    Blackberrys have obviously become synonymous with business. You can’t walk through any public place in downtown Toronto without seeing someone in a suit madly typing away on that mini keyboard with a dull, glazed expression on their face. Whether this is a bad thing is questionable, but the Blackberry has been trying to change its stripes with average cell phone users, and that’s essentially why the BlackBerry Pearl 8130 was created.

    LG Shine 8700 stylish and fun

    by W. Andrew Powell December 7, 2007
    by W. Andrew Powell December 7, 2007

    Whether you call it imitation or just following a smart trend, I have to admit that on first glance I dismissed the LG Shine as a knock off of another very popular phone that features brushed metal and an ultra-thin design. After playing with the phone for a week, listening to music, taking pictures, and checking out the features, the LG Shine more than managed to prove itself however.

    Lil’ Frank 1987

    by W. Andrew Powell December 5, 2007

    Bell’s Frank & Gordon ads drive me a little nuts sometimes, but I have to give them credit – this is a good one. If you’ve seen the recent ad…
