Sprint HTC Arrive with Windows Phone 7 copy and paste first hands-on! (video)

HTC also brought along a Sprint-branded Arrive to our San Francisco reader meetup, and while we're already familiar with this Windows Phone 7 slider from our time with the HTC 7 Pro it's still nice to see a CDMA WP7 device in the flesh. Oh, and the keyboard is pretty fantastic -- not only does it feel great, but the dedicated number row alone is...

Cellphones, Mobile Handsets Visualized: the HTC keyboard slider family

If we had to rate them, we'd say the Arrive has the best key feel, followed by the Merge, the Evo Shift, and finally the cramped G2 -- although the super cheap-feeling hinge on the Evo Shift knocks off several...

Cellphones, Mobile Handsets HTC Freestyle for AT&T hands-on

Last time we checked in with the Freestyle back at CES, we couldn't turn it on -- but things are a little different here at our luxe meetup in San Francisco this evening. Honestly, the phone looks and feels great, doing a great job hiding its Brew MP-based, not-quite-smartphone underpinnings; pricing is still a concern, but the month-to-month...

As the name suggests, the new monitors are an all black affair, and come in 20-, 22-, and 23-inch iterations. The slender screens also come equipped with a new software...

GameXplain: Trinity: Souls of Zil Review

Trinity: Souls of Zill O’ll is one of those games you don’t expect to be good. Most people have never heard of the game, it has a weird title, and the cover art is goofy. But I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by Omega Force’s action RPG effort. Though it’s definitely no masterpiece, this game has an irrepressible charm to it, and the...
