Is Apple shooting in the dark to fix iPhone 3G issues? {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 20th 2008 11:14AM Apple can't fix the 3G reception problem with a software upgrade. The problem is in the hardware.
Apple uses a 3G chip set from Infineon, and this is Infineon's first (or possibly second depending on how yo count) generation of 3G chip sets. Meanwhile Nokia and Ericsson for example are on their 5th or 6th generation.
Usually the big differences between chip set generation are size and power consumption, so of course Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones will have better 3G service. Heck, Nokia and Ericsson are even two of the inventors of 3G (together with Qualcomm and Motorola)!
It's also very different to design an antenna for 3G compared to 2G or WiFi. It may be that Apple made some mistakes there too, but that's pure speculation.

I can agree on the W980 at least, it's awesome.

Aug 18th 2008 3:09PM I'm still hoping for the Xperia X1. Sony coolness with Microsoft technology.

Steve Jobs: 60 million iPhone apps downloaded, confirms kill switch {Engadget Mobile}
Aug 11th 2008 3:21PM I agree with bernardino.
Would you all allow Microsoft to scan your Windows PC for "malicious applications"?

Aug 11th 2008 3:03AM I can almost forgive Apple for not implementing some very basic feaures (you all know what I'm talking about).
The really crappy 3G service and battery time that I get with my iPhone compared to my SE W890 is harder to live with for me, but OK....
What really gets me worked up is that Apple sends secret data about what applications I've installed on my iPhone. It's none of their business! The argument they use "it's for your own good" is complete BS. If there were some proper security mechnisms in OSX they wouldn't need to send this privacy data. Apple, take a lesson from Java and see how it works with certificates and the sandbox model for example.
Screw it, I'll wait for my iPhone to crack so I can return it with no hassle. Shouldn't take to long I guess.

Aug 11th 2008 2:45AM About the kill switch: Why didn't Apple tell us about it right away? And why doesn't Nokia, Samsung and the others feel they need to send secret data about what apps are running?
Creepy as hell.
What's the best iPhone 3G alternative? {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 25th 2008 2:33AM The best phone would be a Sony Ericsson S60, SE coolness and usability combined with Nokia technology. A dream?
Until then I'm holding out for the Xperia X1.
Samsung's i900 Omnia launching next week in Italy {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 17th 2008 3:09AM The specs are similar I guess. But looking at Samsung not-so-impressive track record in usability I have my money on Sony.
AT&T-branded Samsung Omnia in the works? {Engadget Mobile}

Still holding my breath for the Sony X1
