Pictures taken with the HTC Aria

Sure, the HTC Aria is incredibly cute, but it’s also eminently capable, and this extends to imaging…

It features a camera similar (if not identical) to the HTC Hero, US version, with an 5 megapixel sensor, an auto-focus lens with macro, and no flash – read on for more!

Unboxing the Nokia N8, part 1

Yes, that’s right – the Nokia N8 has landed, in all its 12 megapixel, xenon flash glory – and I got my paws on a US model :)

Please excuse the drool in my unboxing video and my first power on video (after the break) – just revel in the tasty Nokia goodness…

Unboxing the T-Mobile G2/HTC Desire Z, part 1

Say “hello” to the T-Mobile G2/HTC Desire Z, successor to the Dream/G1 and similar in specs to the Nexus One, but with a slide-out keyboard, HSPA+, and a dedicated 2-stage camera button!

The G2 is the US version, featuring plain Android 2.2, while the Desire Z is the world version, topping FroYo with a sprinkle of HTC’s Sense UI.

I’ll have some pictures of the G2 for you soon. In the meantime, enjoy my unboxing video (above) and my first power on video (below)…
