Android is moving away from USB Mass Storage. You will no longer be able to plug in a USB cable and have your Android show up as a USB disk. There are some good technical reasons for this, but it is a pain if you …
In my quest to find the perfect phone, I was recommended to try the Motorola Pro Plus by Seb Schmoller.
This is my attempt to review it fairly after a week of usage. Some people have accused me of being unfair in my review of the Nokia Lumia. I think I was harsh …
I think that WP7 is one of the first phone operating systems which natively has a QR scanner built in.
It’s rather hidden – you have to go in to search (not camera) then click the eye icon.
