HTC hero with Sense

HTC has it the big money this time with their new HTC Sense which is the first customized Android interface for a phone. HTC took android and made it really pretty and then put it on a really pretty slick phoen called the HTC Hero. Not only is the HTC Hero with sense the coolest thing ever (at least in my eyes) but it also will be the first phone with Flash support out of the box! Yes I did say Flash! The Palm Pre and Iphone just got slapped in the face!

Here is a nice picture stolen from crunch gear:

This phone with the Android Google Voice App is goign to be Killer! Also if you want to see more here is also a video from crunch gear:

If anyone finds out when this could be released and on what carrier please post it in the comments, I would be very much appreciative! Thanks!

Lets at T-mobile G1 to the List

Yesterday I made a post comparing the Iphone Cost to the Palm Pre costs, and then even added in the Blackberry Storm. Well I don’t knwo how I forgot it, but what about the t-mobile Android G1 smart phone! So here are the results for the G1 for totalt cost of ownership:

I really like the Android Operating system and am thinking it its going to get really really good when Google really integrates Google voice with it.

Smartphone Cost: Iphone vs Pre vs Storm

The Palm Pre came out the other day while the Apple Iphone 3GS came out today so let the million of pointless head to head blog posts comparing the Pre over the Iphone and vice versa so of course I have to jump on the band wagon and write a comparing blog post so I am not the only blog on the internet not writing a post comparing the Pre and the new Iphone.

So Since I dont own either and am not really inclined to go overly nuts researching loads and loads of information I just decided to try and find which one would cost more, so instread of boring you with many more words here are two pictures that speak fore themselves:

Info thanks to Bill Shrink. So click that Bill Shrink Link if you want to try it yourself. I will try to maybe update this post to add my Blackberry Storm but maybe I dont want to see it on the cost line with these phones….

Updated: So I took the time to add the Blackberry Storm to. Yea I really love all my readers…or just bored

May Venture Into Google Voice now….

If you saw my post yesterday I said I would not use my new coveted Google voice account just yet, but that now may have changed.

It seems that GVdialer has a beta of a new version of gvdialer that integrates texting, So I am told. If this is true and it is done right I would gladly use this beta version of gvdialer along with my blackberry storm. I will keep you all posted, I hope this rumor is true and hopefully will have some answers for you all later today and hopefully I will be happily useing my Google Voice!

Why I will wait to use my Google Voice Account

I have been one of the lucky few to be able to get a coveted Google Voice Account from Google. It is an amazing and powerful free thingamajiger for doing all sorts of stuff with phones.

I can use an app called gv dialer on my blackberry storm to seamless integrate my Google voice number to call from my phone. The one problem is that texting is not seamlessly integrated into my phone and I have to use the Google voice mobile website from my phone to text. Or get each of my contacts 409 numbers which if you don’t what what those numbers are thats a whole another story.

So untill Google Voice seamlessly integrates texting onto my phone, I will hold my account until then. But once they do I can not wait because it will be happily using my Google Voice account. Untill then lets hope Google Moves fast.

Facebook Blackberry update

So as I reported before Facebook updated there application for the blackberry storm to version 1.6. I have downloaded and tried it out an am very pleased with the improvements. I no longer need to go to the mobile facebook website to see friends walls, Its now built into the blackberry facebook application.

Another great feature is easy viewing of albums in the new version you can easily scroll through pictures in a nice built in picture viewer!

Also they have seemed to fix a bug that greatly bothered me. The facebook Application for blackberry can sync with your contact lists, and sync your contacts picture with your contacts facebook account. I found this super cool but for some reason some a my contacts synced with facebook but their pictures wouldn’t sync, and it stunk to have a few of my contacts not working. But now in this new version that bug is fixed and all my contacts photos synch, Yippy! If you have a blackberry go download the new app at:
