We wish we had a Dollar for every time someone asked us that pair of questions after seeing our first impressions of the BlackBerry Classic, the standard bearer of the ‘proper’ QWERTY keyboard brigade (Hint: we would have made enough to purchase an iPhone 6 Plus 128 GB!) Well, to be able to answer your question properly, we decided to place the last four BB devices that have sported QWERTY keyboards side by side – the Bold 9900 (2011), the Q10 (2013), the Passport (2014) and the Classic (2015)....

I hope this finds you well. It has been so long since I heard from you. Or you heard something through me, to be accurate. I am writing this from exactly where you left me – the dusty old corner of your drawer, where all the old batteries from remote controls and broken charging cables come to die. Us residents of the drawer like to call it the Castle of the Tangled, because wires, you know....

Here is the WTF news of the day! ET talks about the top Chinese PC maker, Lenovo, being interested in buying the Finnish Mobile & networking major, Nokia.

We had featured the Bamboo Notepad which was a pressure sensitive notepad with a companion pen, the Bamboo Spark transferred the notes to the cloud. This notepad too came with a few drawbacks including the need to charge and the need to replace the pen, which can be an expensive affair. Rocketbook Wave is a much more simplified yet effective cloud connected Notebook.

Appearance – A tale of plastic and a piece of steel! Both the Mi 4 and Mi 4i are very smart looking devices, but in different ways. While the Mi 4 rests on a metal frame, the Mi 4i is an all-plastic affair. While the Mi 4 has a glossy back, the Mi 4i has one with a slightly matte finish. The Mi 4 has a much more solid look and feel to it, to be honest, but then we can see people liking the much slimmer and lighter Mi 4i – it is 7....

Verge had recently published pictures of the Keyboard in flesh and this gives us a good idea of how the keyboard would actually look and if the layout can manage to score on the utilitarian front. Swipe keyboard has always been a problem in large screened phones even though I’m blessed with a relatively big sized palm, it still is difficult to clutch the phone tightly and swipe the message....

It’s been four months since Microsoft announced the Surface tablets. There was a lot of drama surrounding the announcement back then. Microsoft had not let anyone play with the tablet and of course, they had kept the pricing under wraps as well. Now that we are just a few days away from the official Windows 8 launch, we are seeing a flurry of activities and announcements from Microsoft. Currently, all the three variants are shown as “out of stock”....

To make things even more convenient, Noke automatically unlocks itself if the paired device is at within 10 feet distance....
