Samsung is a a well known and highly respected company in the electronics industry as a whole. They make high quality HDTV’s, phones, and even digital cameras. They are well known in the mobile space for their extremely stylish and functional cellular phones. They make an extremely wide variety of phones, but their most interesting phone currently is the Samsung Instinct, their competitor to the iPhone.

Samsung also makes a nice variety of advanced texting phones with QWERTY keyboards built in. Clearly this is a company that gets that typing texts using a numeric pad is like torture. It takes forever and it just not intuitive, no matter how you try and slice it. (more…)

AT&T is one of the oldest phone companies in the country. In fact, at one point it was such a large company that the government decided to break it up into pieces. Now, decades later, AT&T is once again nearly as large as they once were, but they aren’t quite as dominant. However, one area where AT&T is still a major player is in the cell phone business.  ATT carries the best cell phones.

There is no debating that AT&T carries the best cell phones. Why can I say that? Two words: Apple iPhone. It’s a game changer and you can’t write about AT&T’s phone lineup without mentioning it. It’s just that good. Of course there are others too, and we’ll get to those, but you gotta start with the iPhone. (more…)

Making cell phone comparison can be tricky. Most of the time when comparing two phones, unless you are comparing both phones on the same service provider, and both phones have the same intended objective, you are really comparing apples to oranges. For example, comparing the brand-new iPhone 3G to a two-year-old basic Nokia phone doesn’t make any sense. Obviously the iPhone would be way more expensive, but at the same time would provide more features. The Nokia phone would be much cheaper, but Would provide much less functionality. So what would be the better buy? That is not an easy question to answer. (more…)

With the advent of more advanced cell phones, it seems as though it is only a matter of time before we start seeing the kind of viruses and spyware creeping into the ecosystem that you have on Windows. Yet, at the same time, we haven’t really seen that kind of malware spreading on cell phones In the same way that you see it spreading elsewhere.

The biggest reason, of course, is that up until now. Software vendors had to work directly with the cell phone service providers to certify their software before it was allowed to be pushed onto phones. Also, the films themselves were very limited in their capabilities, and most of the programs were written in Java with a tight security model dictating their behavior. That is a stark contrast from the way that Windows software is developed and distributed. (more…)

It shouldn’t surprise anyone who uses it that Gmail is the most useful, and among the most popular of all free e-mail services. Yet, if you have a mobile phone you realize how many of those great features you really miss using a mobile phone e-mail client. However, there are a select few phones that really do the whole Gmail service justice.

The most obvious of course, is the new phone from T-Mbile and Google. Since this built by Google and Google software, it just makes sense that e-mail integration with e-mail service works very well. If you want, you can use either the built-in e-mail client and access GMail via push mail, or You’ve access Gmail directly via the web browser. Personally, I think setting up Gmail using the IMAP protocol so that changes are made automatically across all devices works extremely well. This is also my preferred option, using the iPhone.

Here at Mobileography, we’re always trying to find new ways to make our site better. To that end, we’re starting a new feature. We call it sticky content. The idea is that there is some content that needs to be updated fairly often. Take for example this article. Why not have an article that keeps track of the latest phone releases from t-Mobile? Seems simple right? Well, this is the first of many of those kinds of articles. Watch the sidebar for more coming soon. (more…)
