innovative & feature rich mobile phones

Research In Motion will soon debut software that can segregate the personal from the professional.
Set to launch in two months, the BlackBerry Balance software will be able to separate personal e-mail, apps, and other content from those used on the job, Jeff McDowell, RIM's senior vice president for business and platform marketing, said in a Reuters interview published yesterday.
The goal behind the software is to let BlackBerry owners rely on a single smartphone, so they can use the same device for business and social reasons. IT administrators--concerned about personal devices tapping into their networks--will also be able to manage and secure the corporate side of the phone while leaving the personal side up to the user.
"There are two fundamental use cases on the smartphone--enterprise and personal. The problem is that they are conflicting," McDowell told Reuters.

Droid X Impresses Early Reviewers

The highly-anticipated Motorola Droid X won't arrive in Verizon Wireless stores until next week, but hype is growing for the phone's release. Reviewers, so far, seem to adore this new device. Will shoppers be convinced to line up to get their hands on the Droid X, just as they waited for the new iPhone 4 last month?

Boston.com's Hiawatha Bray tackles this question in his review of the Droid X, under the headline "A smartphone worth lining up for." Bray notes that "most people don't get that excited over a new cellphone unless Apple chieftain Steve Jobs tells them to." He praises many features found on the Droid X, including its "luxuriously lean" design and quality video camera, but laments the lack of a front-facing camera for video conferencing.

David Pogue of the New York Times says, "the Droid X is a speed rocket, much like its recent rivals. It's impossible to overstate how satisfying it is to use a snappy, responsive gadget." He points out the complex nature of the Android OS, though, noting that this phone -- like any Android gadget -- may confuse those who aren't technically proficient.

I'm currently in the middle of reviewing the Droid X myself, so I can't weigh in on this phone just yet. But stay tuned for a full review in the next few days.
