This morning, my Nexus One stopped receiving emails. When I tried to refresh my Exchange inbox on the phone, I got a “cannot connect” error. Powering down and rebooting did not help. Any attempt to browse the web would just bring up the page shown below.
I called the T-Mobile Customer Support number while at a restaurant waiting for my [...]

My Nexus One was listed on eBay twice, but I cancelled the auction each time. That’s the kind of love-hate relationship I have with my phone. I finally decided to keep it and love it, but I cannot stop browsing the issues on the Android site so that I can at least hate it a [...]

I guess it was too good to be true. A phone that does everything that I want and need and could possibly ask for and is not an iPhone? Not the Nexus One. Or at least, not yet. Mine went on eBay today, and I hope that I will be at least able to get [...]

Time has come to replace my T-Mobile Shadow. I am no longer under contract, and the phone is no longer cutting-edge technology. My wife needs a new phone as well. The Verizon Droid has been creating some buzz for a while, so I started looking into what I’d be able to get for my money right [...]

The Globe reports that the MBTA is making Wifi mobile internet access available on one of its commuter rail lines. The Boston commuter rail infrastructure is so derelict – it is stunning that Wifi was a priority. Here are the top 3 things that should have been addressed instead:
