ExZeus Arcade brings killer gaming to the Android touchscreen

By John Walton March 5, 2010 - 1:22pm EST Comments

I love owning a phone with so few hardware buttons. In terms of daily use, my N1's power button, volume rocker, clickable trackball (plus four touch sensitive back, menu, home, and search keys), are more than enough for me to get by.

Backflip unboxing from PhoneDog

By John Walton March 2, 2010 - 2:46pm EST Comments

I can't say I'm super excited about this one but Moto's follow-up to the Cliq is AT&T's first Android and employs a nifty method for navigating the screen called backtrack (not to mention that kooky out-facing folding QWERTY). This one hits stores on March 7th for $99.99 on contract. I got to play with the Backflip a bit at CES and it was a nice looking device. A... Read more »

Hands on with the Cliq XT (Quench)

By John Walton February 17, 2010 - 2:50pm EST Comments

Check out PhoneDog's European man on the scene reporting from Barcelona on the Cliq XT, otherwise known as Quench. It ships with Swype and is without a physical QWERTY. It's got MotoBlur on top of Android 1.5> Has pinch-to-zoom and a nice looking virtual kb, but the screen is 3.1 inches at 320 x 480. Look for it on T-Mobile next month. Via... Read more »
