dialed in

Dialed In has reached another milestone--its 200th episode!--and that calls for a celebration, don'tcha think? We do, which is why we broke out the champagne, party hats, and noise makers.

Of course, the talk of everything cell phones takes center stage with special host Bonnie Cha (remember her? She has her own theme song.) We've got the Samsung Galaxy Nexus with its coveted Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, plus a breakthrough in battery technology that could keep your resource-hungry cell phone going for up to three days. Bonnie also throws out her wishes for a Kindle phone, … Read more

Is there such thing as too much of a good thing? Verizon comes out swinging with superphones galore, we take a look at the next generation of Windows Phone handsets, and we have a good old-fashioned rant against a very very weird phone. All that and more on today's Dialed In.

A glut of Verizon superphones Verizon and HTC announced the HTC Rezound last week, and the Droid Razr is getting the major-promotion treatment this week. And the Samsung Galaxy Nexus hasn't … Read more

This is one thriller of a show you can't miss! Stephen sets the mood with some intros that will make you scream, we consider what it takes to bring Nokia back from the dead, and if RIM and Web OS have a chance at reversing their own decrepitude. Plus: a look at two Android phones with killer value, and Nicole shows off her pre-Halloween spirit as a pirate zombie vampire. Frightful!

It was a crazy week in cell phone land, what with the Droid Razr and the Galaxy Nexus making their worldwide debut on the same day. And it's not over yet, as Nokia and Microsoft have an announcement of their own coming up this week. Is there such a thing as too much of a good thing? We also talk about the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system and all the latest reviews.

Yes, it's that time of year again: time for the annual Apple iPhone harvest. This time, it's the iPhone 4S, which looks a lot like the old model, but with some pretty substantial improvements. We also discuss last week's CTIA trade show where we saw several new Android handsets, and Jessica witnessed phone destruction at the hands of Nokia. We also look forward to tomorrow's triple-event extravaganza: BlackBerry DevCon, the Motorola/Verizon event in New York, and the Samsung/Google event in Hong Kong. And last but not least, we say a fond farewell to Bonnie … Read more

The CTIA Fall 2011 show kicks off on Tuesday, and Nicole and Jessica are in sunny San Diego to bring you all the latest announcements and hands-ons with new devices. Lucky for us (and you), Jessica had a few spare minutes between prepping the show and devouring some sweet desserts to call into dreary San Francisco to give us a preview of what to expect from the show.

Also, though it already feels like ages ago, last week we saw the debut of the iPhone 4S, as well as the passing of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. We recap all the news from a crazy week, plus go over the latest reviews in Dialed In episode 194. … Read more

The next Android firmware version will apparently be called Jelly Bean, and we're not too thrilled about that. How about Jelly Donut instead? Mmm. We also discuss less tasty topics like the HTC Sensation XE, the LG Marquee, a potential new Droid Razr, the upcoming HTC event next week, and lots of carrier news.

Compared with the past few weeks, this seems like a relatively slow news week, but there's still plenty going on in the mobile world. The AT&T and T-Mobile saga continues with a new lawsuit from Sprint, and a court date between the Department of Justice and AT&T. HTC is fighting back and suing Apple (anyone else need a chart to keep track of all these lawsuits?) with patents it received from Google, but perhaps most important of all, the Motorola Droid Bionic is real and it's finally out. Get our final verdict on the … Read more
