Earlier this month, I had the pleasure to review the new Nokia Lumia 800 Windows Phone as one of the first in Germany and as good as the Lumia 800 is - as Nokia's first Windows Phone - as much room it has for improvements - compared to other (non Windows Phone) smartphones. At the end of the day, the Lumia 800 stands in heavy competition with other Windows Phones as well as Android smartphones and the end-user is way more educated today than he/she was 3 or 4 years ago as well has users are expecting more. And therefore, for a smartphone in the 450+ Euro class, I would have expect the one or the other feature adjust- and enhancement to make it an even better more complete device.

It's some time since I've introduced the::unwired's Follow-Ups category, as a matter of fact it was over 6 years ago, and this week I've decided that it is definitely time to reawake this topic again! As before, I want to follow-up with observations I've done while using a platform, a device or a service but I'm now going to slightly change the way I'm writing about it. Since the::unwired is still read by carriers, hardware manufacturers and application service providers (which sometime value my feedback), I'm now going to write in a kind of "how I would change" their products style to provide a direct feedback. Furthermore it might be helpful for end-users to better understand what they can or cannot expect from the one or the other device or service.

During the past week and over the weekend, I had some time to update the::unwired's Slingdex, which measures the run-time of mobile devices while constantly streaming a TV stream over UMTS (read more about the::unwired's Slingdex here) and the latest results are quite promising, maybe even better then expected. the::unwired's Slingdex now includes the results for the upcoming HTC Advantage X7510 and HTC Touch Diamond.
The HTC X7510 scored 2:50 hours (which makes it the yet best Windows Mobile Professional smartphones) while the HTC HTC Touch Diamond (in this case an O2 Xda diamond with final HTC Touch Diamond ROM) scored 2:01 hours only.

During the past week and over the weekend, I had some time to update the::unwired's Slingdex, which measures the run-time of mobile devices while constantly streaming a Slingbox stream (read more about the::unwired's Slingdex here) and the latest results are quite promising.
The T-Mobile Vario III and the LG KS20 scored both 2:37 hours while the (pre-production) Samsung SGH-i780 was one minute worse only and scored 2:36 hours.

Ouch, bad news! In my previous posting about Bloglines cooperation with Skweezer, I just wrote: "I hope, Skweezer isn't trying to skweeze the::unwired since we are serving a mobile device optimized version already which doesn't needs to be skweezed again." and indeed, links from Bloglines to the::unwired articles are skweezed.
Even worse, not the mobile optimized page is skweezed but the desktop version which results in a completely broken experience.
