When I bought my O2 XDA II Mini in February this year, I thought “Now this device will be a keeper for at least a year”. How silly of me. As soon as I started reading about the HTC Universal, I knew that was going to change. A device that had a built-in keyboard, WiFi

I received my unbranded unlocked GSM Treo 650 today (thanks Mike!). Good news, it works perfectly! I even upgraded the firmware. Yay! I’m super happy at the moment. Even the signal strength here in the gadget cave is good! :o) Maybe the Treo gods don’t hate me after all. I am still waiting for the

I was doing a search on eBay recently, looking under “stingray” and hoping to see some interesting small clutches. I didn’t find a clutch that I would want to buy, but I did find an auction for the most amazing leather wallet and solid sterling silver chain. Although I wasn’t in the market for either,

In 1901, the United States’ first speed limit laws were introduced in Connecticut, allowing 12 miles per hour in town and 15 MPH in the country. Ever since then, drivers have been trying to strike a balance between the legal posted speed and the speed at which they can safely travel without getting a ticket.

You’ve got to love a bag from a company named Bumbakpaks. Come on, it’s just fun to say. Bumbakpaks, bumbakpaks, bumbakpaks. Ok, now that I have that out of my system, I can tell you about their Urbanomic Hamptons Chocotango bag which the company refers to as a messenger bag. But to me it looks

A couple of days ago I reviewed the rugged Maxpedition Fatboy Versipack, which I have been using as my casual gearbag. Quite a few of our readers either wrote me personally or posted in the Fatboy’s forum saying that they had been looking for such a bag – but they needed one that was a

Since reviewing the Timbuk2 Bag In A Box messenger bag, I’ve come to the conclusion that messenger bags are my gear bag style of choice these days. As such, I’ve been trying to find other brands to try out. Today I’m going to take a close look at the Citizen messenger bag from Chrome. Like

The Treo saga is never ending… I managed to sell it to someone who has a Verizon account, and is intelligent enough to realize it’s not a Sprint Treo. But guess what, Verizon won’t activate it. They say the ESN# can’t be found. The phone has a Verizon signal and you can hear Darth Vadar

Have you ever noticed how certain styles may go in and out of vogue, but there are others that will always be popular because they are as versatile as they are good-looking? Take military inspired clothing for instance. Back in 1983, when I was a high school sophomore, one of my girlfriends had a sister

I finally sold the hacked Treo 650! It is currently winging its way to NYC as I type this. I was actually sorry to box it up as I’ve been using it as just a PDA for the past couple of weeks. Now I’m back to using the Dell X50v Pocket PC again along with
