Непонятки - Обзор Nokia N9

Было одновременно и здорово тестировать N9, и печально... Nokia после нескольких лет терзаний с сенсорным Symbian выпустила наконец мегакрутой смартфон на платформе MeeGo, но он стал первым и последним — больше устройств с этой ОС у Nokia никогда не будет. В компанию пришел Стивен Элоп и притащил за собой Windows Phone 7. Тоже интересная и ... Читать дальше

HTC announces the Sensation XL with Beats Audio, we go hands-on

We suspected there'd be a special guest at HTC's party in London tonight and here it is: the brand new Sensation XL. You might recognize the mug shot from the many leaks we've reported under the Runnymede codename, but this phone also bears a distinct similarity to the recently announced HTC Titan. It's carved from an almost identical 4.7-inch ... Читать дальше
