Engadget posted a video of one this morning, saying that they were aware of the “exclusive” edition’s availability from other retailers. I, for one, find this model stunning and… Read more
You know that killer, Sense-powered sister to the Nexus One that has been confirmed by virtually every carrier across the pond but not by a one over here? I’m talking about Desire, and that it does inspire. Had I the time or the sign of an inkling, I’d write a poem for that twinkling screen upon which my fingers (multiple, true) could dance and twirl and… Read more
