The HTC Touch Pro {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 4th 2008 8:47AM Does the screen tilt like they did for the TyTN II and make such a big fuss about? Or have they abandoned that idea again?
Nokia VP: video calling not successful because it turns you ugly {Engadget Mobile}
Jun 3rd 2008 5:31AM People don't use it because it's pointless, full stop. In a world where people text messages to each other and don't even care about hearing the other person's voice, they certainly don't care about seeing each other. Plus, in order to have a video call, you have to hold it at a distance such that you can no longer have a private conversation, you have to have the whole thing on speakerphone. Also it means you have to look at the phone whilst speaking and therefore you can't be getting on with something else at the same time. They missed a trick in speccing video calls too. It should be possible to ad-hoc switch into video mode within an already established call. It's far more likely that, in the process of explaining/telling/describing something to the other person, you might want to hold down the video button, point the handset at the house/car/dress/person/package/document etc.. in question until the other person can see it. I see that being more useful, rather than having to decide up front whether you're going to want video.

PMP isn't an acronym.
Jabra's BT3030 Bluetooth headset mimics dog tag {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 26th 2008 2:03PM How bizarre that despite the chain running from the unit to around your neck, ie two thirds of the distance to your ears, that you have to run extra cables from the unit to your ears! Why doesn't the bit you hang it around your neck also carry the signal?!
Apple patent application hints at iPhone flip phone {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 18th 2008 6:32AM Why are patent application drawings always so bad, yet look like they were all drawn by the same person, regardless of who is filing it? Compare this one with the HTC slider one.
Google wigged out by volume of iPhone traffic {Engadget Mobile}
Feb 25th 2008 7:47AM I assume the iPhone is pre setup to go to Google, whilst Windows Mobile devices often use Live Search, where the access figures are likely to be very different. It doesn't mean that iPhone users use the internet 50x more than WM or Symbian devices.
