Yep, it's Turkey Day here in the US, but we figure our cute Smartphone Round Robin mascot is close enough to a turkey to count. Plus, it gives us chance to point out the great back and forth between iPhone Mike and Treo Jennifer on the venerable Treo 680. You won't see another post up here at WMExperts until Monday - we're taking the holiday and tomorrow off and we hope y'all can do...
The posting schedule here at WMExperts may be a little topsy-turvy this week, fyi. I'll be attending the “Mobius” conference in Amsterdam. What's that? Well here's the blurb from their site: A group devoted to following and reporting on topics and news related to mobile devices and consumer electronics. ...Which is code for: People who know more about mobility and smartphones...
Our parent company, Smartphone Experts is in the news today - they/we ranked #37 in the Inc 500 list of fastest growing private companies in the US and #1 (Number ONE BABY) in the retail category. In case you're wondering, we always have and always will keep a strict firewall between our writers and our online stores, but I'll break it just a tiny bit now and say that the folks that...
I will be temporarily posting for Dieter while he moves this week. It's reasonable to expect that the site will suffer and nothing good will come of it. Things should get better on Monday when he returns.
Pardon me while I go off-topic a bit here but Engadget is giving away another Nintendo Wii, in a contest sponsored by our very own WMExperts Store. The contest this time is to design a mascot for Engadget, which is awesome. The contest is only open until May 6th, so you'd best start Photoshopin' now! [...] we want you to make us an Engadget mascot to appear on the site, on future...
As far as the new batch of WM6 devices go, I've been guilty of being all HTC Vox, all the time. I feel ok about that, though, as to me it's the most exciting WM6 device coming. Well, it's coming here soon, very soon. So: What do you want to know about the Vox? Ask and ye shall receive - post a comment here on this post and I'll have your answer - plus a whole lot more - on Monday...
One of those good news / bad news posts. Bad news first: Expect light posting tomorrow through Wednesday. Good news: when we do post, it'll be good stuff, because WMExperts is heading to the CTIA Wireless conference. More good news / bad news. Bad news first (it should always be first): I'm not expecting anything epically groundbreaking this year, though I could be (read: hope I am...
Here we go, the last batch of winners of our Prize-A-Day contest (the Grand Prize winner will be announced on Monday). Congrats to all - emails with details will be forthcoming shortly. Day 15 - Joe wins the Jabra JX10 Bluetooth Headset in Black. ...If I learned anything from your lists, I learned that I need to give FlexWallet another shot. I tried it out briefly, I'm going to try...
We've had a bunch of entries (a bunch I say) and it's been fun, but the Prize-A-Day Contest, like all good things, has come to an end. What else is there to say? Heck, even Engadget's Contest sponsored by the WMExperts Store has come to an end. A big thank you to everyone who entered! So without further ado, our winners: Grand Prize: Snowman Snowman wins his choice of any Windows...
...And we're back! Sorry for the hiatus on Friday, hopefully you managed without your daily Prize-A-Day fix. Perhaps it was good preparation, though as the last Prize-A-Day Contest is tomorrow. The prize for the penultimate (I'll take any excuse to use that word) Prize-A-Day is a free copy of Spb Backup, which is far and away my favorite backup app for WM. How to Win Ever lost...
That's right, it's your last chance to enter to win the Smartphone of your choice plus $300 worth of accessories, or one of those two Slingbox Pros, or today's prize: $40 worth of whatever you'd like from the WMExperts Store. How to Win The WMExperts Store has been generous in sponsoring this contest, so it's only right that to win for today we send them some love one more time. Head...
Kathy's post in yesterday's contest was right - the best way to be productive is to play some games every now and then. So today's prize is a game of your choice from the WMExperts Software Store (up to $30 US in value). How to Win I can't believe I haven't asked this before: What phone are you using now and what phone would you like to use if money were no object? Crazy, no...
Lucky number 13, eh? Lucky numbers in general, I've decided, are a bad idea, as are unlucky ones: last night I lost a full two hours of my life that I will never, never get back, I felt compelled to go see The Number 23 as 23 is my childhood "favorite number." So the only numbers I care about anymore are my "secret numbers," Credit card numbers, passwords (ok, these are numbers and...
Well if the WMExperts Store is going to sponsor a contest at Engadget in addition to sponsoring our own Prize-A-Day contest, we should give them some love--in the form of helping them out with more Customer Reviews in the store itself. Today's prize is a screen protector pack of your choice plus a pack of those neat 3M cleaning cloths to help make sure you get your plastic protector on...
A touch late today with the prize contest because I'm rocking out with the Aliph Jawbone - er, I'm actually rocking out to Mastadon while testing the Jawbone, expect a video review up tomorrow morning. In any case, today's prize is the Smartphone Experts Mini-USB Sync n Charge Retractable Cable (or, for you sad folks without a mini-usb connector on your smartphone, a wall charger)....
In honor of my metal-intensive review, let's make it just a little easier to rock out with your WM phone by giving away a copy of CorePlayer - the commercial successor to TCPMP and a great player that supports multiple audio and video formats. It's my favorite media software on WM by far. How to Win Do you listen to music on your smartphone, or do you use a different device (or do...
Today I'd like some tips. I may be approaching 1200 sites in my newsreader but I'm still finding new sites every day. So tell us: what's on your daily gadget list? I'm especially curious to hear about the little guy, or a site that's very popular yet just you've just discovered (I just found shiny shiny myself. Susi: Call me). Today's prize is Spb Insight, a great little RSS reader...
It's Valentine's Day, so today's contest has got to be about showing the love. A couple of comments on this Google Maps post asked for more info on how to set up GPS with a WM phone, so later today I'll get up a quick video how-to and screencast. But let's get some community love (get your mind out the gutter) going here too. How to Win Just post a comment on this entry (form...
WMExperts Prize-A-Day! To celebrate the launch of WMExperts we're going to be giving away a some great prizes... and by "some" I mean "One every weekday for an entire month" and by "great" I mean "really, really great." Here's the short of it: Every weekday beginning February 13th, 2007, WMExperts will be posting a relatively simple 'challenge,' ranging from "comment on this entry"...
Well everybody, here we are! I've been posting quick news stories for awhile now, expect longer pieces in the near future. WMExperts.com looks to be a great source of news and reviews of Windows Mobile Smartphone devices. We're also planning on adding lots of great new features (hmm, see that dead "DeviceDB" link at the top, stay tuned!) in the very near future. WMExperts.com is...
