Mobile gadgets running Blackberry & Android OS'
Rooting&customizing the Pulse was a long time coming
My Android adventure took me on the untested trails of phone hacking. Being afraid I lost my touch (no need for hacking in BlackBerry), I attempted to put a custom ROM on the Pulse, a thing that ate 3 days of my life and was accomplished only partially due to the fact that this smart-phone model is very rare.
By the time I got fed up with it, I did put the Modaco Custom ROM -Stock T-Mobile Style by Paul O’Brien but wasn’t able to put Apps2SD, an application allowing you to install and run all your apps from the SD card – the Pulse is notorious for its limited memory (around 86 MB).
And all of those for what? For ShootMe, an application designed to take scree-shots of…well,the screen! And because of that, in Android you need to take the high-road and master the art of hacking, modifying and customizing your phone!
Here, enjoy along with me this wonderful screen-grab!

I chose to choose the worse – yet another iPhone4 vs HTC Desire comparison
about 3 weeks ago - 1 comment
I keep on playing with an iPhone 4 for a few days now. Why? I have one of the best smartphones on the market at the moment, namely the HTC Desire. It’s got one of the best OS’ in existence at the moment: Android by Google. It does almost everything I need it to do
The “pointless” Task Manager strikes back!
about 3 weeks ago - 1 comment
You know what they say: “the road to hell is paved with good intentions!”. As I wrote the other day, people say task managers are useless. While I tend to agree with them, as I already said, there are times when you need them for additional purposes. And yesterday I had to find out the
Are the Task Managers in Android pointless?
about 4 weeks ago - 2 comments
Well, it seems it’s true. I’ve been using one since the Symbian days. Without one my Sony-Ericsson P910i wouldn’t function. My next smartphone, the Sony-Ericsson P1i became sluggish in operation and would reset at the end of the day. Those particular Task Managers were quite specialized: they would automatically shut-down unused applications, double as file

In February 2009 I left the Symbian UIQ 3.0 O.S for BlackBerry. Of course, some of my friends knowing me and using more or less the same Symbian platform ( UIQ 3.0 and/or S40, S60 Nokia) were skeptical: “BlackBerry is a professional platform, a closed and rigid environment, no way you can thrive under that

Rooting the HTC Desire

If you look over the Internet rooting is everywhere! Rooting an Android device used to be simple. Easy. You’d download a file, you’d unzip it, copy it to the phone and that was that. Well, not anymore. Nowadays you need to do a lot of workarounds. You need to find the right versions, due to
(HTC) Desire vs. (BlackBerry) work, as in Bold 9700

I knew I should wait some time before checking out another OS while using the BlackBerry. And I did for almost 2 years. But now the OS’ are refreshed much faster than years ago when I needed to wait more than a year to get “the next smartphone”. And now Android is on the high
Had a play with HTC Desire

Today I was finally able to play a little bit with Vodafone’s HTC Desire. I could’ve done it in a Vodafone shop but usually those smartphones are right out of the box and have no Internet connection, no apps, media, nothing. Everything you can find on shelf is usually dummy. So I used the UI
A week without my BlackBerry Bold 9700

Inspired by a search I did out of nowhere, I decided I wanna try to live without my BlackBerry Bold for a week and…use my T-Mo Pulse Android OS instead! I will continue to use the BlackBerry to receive my work phone calls but that should be it. I’ll also use it to send/reply to
RIM BlackBerry Twitter application goes officially on Beta

As I expected, the BlackBerry Twitter application by RIM went officially on Beta! Which means waiting will be over soon. I will continue to use the leaked version (the same built after all) but I will sign-up for the Beta Zone – this is where you can get the Twitter application if you’re not lucky
