That didn't take long at all. It was only a short while back that we were left wondering just how thick this first Android-powered smartphone would be, and now we are treated to a full sketch of just about every feature on the HTC Dream G1 coming to T-Mobile.

Can BlackBerry Bold Go Where No Smartphone Has Gone Before?
More info: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/258878
Can the BlackBerry Bold rival the features and functionality of Apple's iPhone 3G? In light of today's Canadian launch of the fastest BlackBerry available yet, Digital Journal TV tested the new device to see if it's the summer's hottest smartphone.
Digital Journal รข€” The BlackBerry Bold is now available in Canada, giving Canucks the first chance to try out the fastest BlackBerry device in North America. The Bold runs on Rogers' fast 3G network (the first time a BlackBerry has worked on such a network) and its speed doesn't disappoint.
Just a month after bringing Apple's iPhone 3G to Canadians (see our video review of the iPhone 3G here), Rogers Wireless partnered with Research in Motion to unveil the Bold on Thursday.
John Boynton, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer, Rogers Wireless, said in a press release: "The much awaited BlackBerry Bold smartphone is a 'must have' for connoisseurs of premium products and mobile workers who want to remain connected and productive no matter where their jobs may take them."
The Bold is available for $399 on a three-year plan with Rogers.
So what's so great about the Bold? Its screen offers impressive definition and clarity housed in an elegant 114mm x 66mm x 15mm design. It runs on the 3G network as well as Wi-Fi. A built-in GPS comes with BlackBerry Maps and Documents To Go, and lets users edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents while travelling. 1GB of on-board memory is more than previous generations, and memory card slots can expand the storage capacity to up to 16 GB.
A 2-megapixel camera rounds out the device, and also offers video recording (unlike the iPhone 3G). Syncing music and video to the Bold via iTunes is simple, which should appeal to heavy multimedia users who want to stick with the BlackBerry brand.
Digital Journal TV was on location at the Canadian launch for the Bold, and we spoke to Research in Motion and Rogers Wireless to find out how this smartphone compares to its predecessors...and why it may elevate to iPhone-killer status. Maybe.

Watching Olympics Live TV on my Windows Mobile Smartphone
Windows Mobile Smartphone watching Live TV of the 2008 Olympics. Anywhere I go I will not miss any of the Olympic Games. Thanks to my Windows Mobile Smartphone advance features.
Iphone 3G can't even do this. Only thing good about the Iphone 3G is it's good looks. Has who cares of how it looks is all I see the Iphone is good at. I rather have a phone that can do many things like my Windows Mobile Smartphone.
Below are reason why Iphone 3G lacks features. Windows Mobile Smartphone has all these features for 2yrs now.
Now you know wjy they call it a Smartphone ;-)
--------------------
1. It won't perform simple computer operations such as word processing, spreadsheets, relational databases, and PowerPoint presentations
2. You can't use your own MP3 sounds to make ringtones.
3. No MMS
4. No expansion slots
5. No flash camera
6. Doesn't take videos
7. Doesn't have dual cameras for video conferences and self-portraits; you can't take screen shots either; only has 2.0 MPX
8. There's no QWERTY keyboard or even a phone keypad. Instead, it has a klutsy popup input panel. It takes average person five minutes to type my name correctly without any errors owing to my fingers being on the gorilla end of the scale. The input panel is made for fingers of a five-year old.
9. Can't even perform the simple operations of highlight, copy, cut, and paste
10. Doesn't have an eBook reader program
11. No InfraRed--can't beam files, photos, tunes, text, contacts, applications
12. Doesn't have Bluetooth 2.0
13. Can't use wireless Bluetooth headphones
14. Won't work with optical eyewear players
15. Doesn't have 802.11 g/e Wi-Fi
16. Doesn't have universal mini-USB connector for syncing and charging
17. Doesn't have real downloadable programs, only Web Apps that force you to go online to use. What if you don't want the expense of going online or there is no connection? Apple boasts 600 Web Apps. Windows Mobile has 15,000+ actual programs.
18. You can't transfer files between devices or even to a MAC with an iPhone, and there's no peer to peer connectivity possible either.
19. There's no removable battery. You have to send the unit to Apple at your own expense and suffer downtime. Wow.
20. There are no peripherals for the iPhone such as a Bluetooth keyboard, mouse, headphones, GPS, printer, scanner, hard drives, storage cards, video eyewear, or projectors.
21. There are no voice commands for viewing photos, videos, files, listening to tunes, or running applications. I really enjoy bossing my pocket concierge around with voice commands. You can't talk to iPhones; you have to poke them in the tummy with your finger to get them to do anything.
22. You can't watch and control your home TV DVR remotely from anywhere in the world
23. There's no FM or satellite radio
24. You can't use an iPhone as an extension of your desktop monitor and move the mouse and data between them.
27. Touch screen is not sensitive to a standard stylus, only a blunt instrument like a finger or a ball-peen hammer.
28. Finger gestures are crazy-making on a page with lots of hyperlinks because you cannot point precisely
29. Cannot change page transitions or animations
30. You cannot control your computer or anything else remotely with an iPhone; you can't even have the fun of using it in a bar to change the TV channels surreptitiously.
31. No programmable hardware buttons for easy control and access to such functions as volume control, camera, and digital recording.
32. No Flash for viewing websites

MG Siegler over at VentureBeat has the story this morning about Skyfire, a new browser for mobile devices. VentureBeat is giving away 100 invitations to try the new browser in private beta trials, MG writes in his post.
MG, dubbed "machine gun" by his editor Matt Marshall for his prolific writing, is one of the best tech bloggers -- he is known to many of us as Paris Lemon, for his influential personal blog. MG is one of the writers in the Digital Media channel at VentureBeat.
Last week, I caught up with MG at Stanford where he attended the Beet.TV online video roundtable. He shares his experience using a Qik-enabled smartphone to cover the recent Apple iPhone 3G launch in San Francisco.
