When I reviewed the Motorola Droid Razr in November, I found there was a lot to like about the phone. Unfortunately, terrible battery life was a huge drawback, and the phone was uncomfortable to hold, as well.

We are all eagerly awaiting Microsoft’s next big roll out, Windows Phone Tango and while it may not be a groundbreaking update, the reason we are excited is due to the fact that Tango won’t need the high-end specifications that current WP7 phones need and thus, will be a lot cheaper. Hopefully, the user experience doesn’t take a backseat here, as currently that’s one of the few appealing traits of this platform.

The man who was in charge of getting new apps and content on the Windows Phone Marketplace has left Microsoft to pursure a similar occupation at Amazon. Brandon Watson apparently feels that the online bookseller-turned-behemoth has a brighter future. Or they offered him more money. Or both. Either way, it’s definitely a setback for Microsoft.

Huawei has yet to make a real impact on the American market with the handsets they’ve released so far, but CES 2012 left us yearning for more. When Huawei unveiled the Ascend P1 S, they made it clear just how badly they want to break out of the prepaid, free-on-contract market in the US, and into the high-end. Unveiling the world’s thinnest smartphone with Android 4,0, a qHD Super AMOLED display, and a dual-core Snapdragon processor is one way to do it, but even that may not be what Huawei considers high-end.

I should probably make it clear outright that I’m not particularly enamoured by all-touch phones, finding that they can’t really compare to phones with tactile keyboards; having said that, I’ve mentioned already in my review of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet that RIM are surprisingly competent at creating a usable touch screen interface. This is also true of the BlackBerry Curve 9380, the first touch screen phone in the Curve range, which drops its tactile keyboard altogether, unlike its keyboard-and-touch-endowed bigger brother, the Bold. It comes in a gorgeous shell with the same industrial design aesthetic as the rest of RIM’s phones, and boasts the latest iteration of their smartphone operating system: BlackBerry OS 7.
