Im ditching my iPhone 4S for a Nokia Lumia 900 when it launches in the UK, because it looks great. I've been with iPhone since the first one, and I'm bored of it, I'm bored of iOS, I want to try something new.

In all seriousness, something akin to xpPhone.

Nothing surpasses the accessibility, amount of (freeware) programs (not friggin' crap apps), flexibility and reliability (Android, I speak of you - you don't have it at all) of x86 platform, given that I could run either Windows or Linux, or even multiboot. I don't care how unfitting desktop OS may be for small screens. Add pinch-to-zoom driver (or perhaps even at hardware level) and you're good to go.

Besides, I don't know how well it works in practice, but xpPhone is said to have hybrid mode - waking PC part only when needed, phone part itself may run for five days from a single charge. That, my dear people, is so damn obvious that it's genius. Well, I wouldn't mind beefier battery, anyway. Oh, and definitely a hardware QWERTY, with control keys, too.

Long story short - I'd want my desktop stuffed in Galaxy Note like, tops, slob. Could be thicker, because of battery.

ALL CURRENT SMARTPHONES SCUK!!1! If Pocket PC weren't dead already, it would have died of shame.

I run an android phone, Galaxy S2 with a new rom, and I love it. I'm a huge fan of Android.

My next phone may be an iPhone. I'm sick to death of every accessory being built for a phone I don't have. Specifically car stereos.

I'm most likely going to pick up a BlackBerry 10 phone by the end of the year. After watching the BBJam event and all the developer reviews on the Alpha device it looks very promising for RIM... but I will be interested to see what the new iPhone, Nexus and WP8 devices have in store too. Such an exciting year for mobiles.

I'm sort of weird with phones.. I prefer to have something that isn't the most popular, which is why I use my BlackBerry Bold 9900 over my Galaxy Nexus.

The next iPhone, for a lot of reasons, probably one of my favorite reasons is the great integration with my Macs and having decided to go get an iPad next year, this will just sweeten things. :)

Already ordered a Lumia 900. Smooth and stable OS which Android cant compete with and all the apps I use bar one are now available from the WP7 market. Telstra in Australia also supports DC-HSDPA which the 900 has too so amazing fast internet speeds too which neither the Galaxy S3 or the HTC X support.

I already walk around with an Android and Windows Phone; I'll be getting myself a BlackBerry 10 device when it comes out. The tech press may be publishing negative opinion articles about RIM, but their phones are getting surprisingly good reviews for a supposedly dead company.

This. My faith in Blackberry is slowly fading, so I've decided that I'm going to go with this year's iPhone release. It will integrate smoothly with my iMac

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By monterxz · Posted

      I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."

    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
    • Meta is reusing old DDR4 RAM in its servers instead of buying new hardware

      It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...
