03.01.06 | Permalink | 4 CommentsSony Ericsson announced a slew of new phones yesterday, including the particularly drool-worthy K790i and K800i with their Cybershot-branded 3.2-megapixel cameras.

Merkitys Uploads and GeoTags Photos

More Pointless Exclusivity
08.16.05 | Permalink | Comments OffFor everybody that just switched to T-Mobile to get all that great exclusive Robbie Williams content, you may have moved too soon — now Verizon Wireless has “exclusive” Black Eyed Peas ringback tones.
I’m hard pressed to think of anybody that would care about this enough to switch to Verizon or start using ringbacks. I’ll have [...]
