You might not have noticed this yet but we have become extremely dependant on our mobile phones. This is especially true for those who use modern smartphones. Our always-connected lives would become highly disconnected if we were forced to live without these devices for a single day.
Our dependence comes through very clearly when we are trying to buy a new phone. Suddenly, all our daily needs and requirements come into play and we are left puzzled at the onslaught of features. This scenario is further complicated by the fact that most companies have product release cycles that are between 10 months to a year.
The companies cannot be stopped from bringing out the latest gear all throughout the year but we can help you catch up on the latest phone news. And so we do, every Thursday. Get over to the other side for this week’s digest.

Droid has made the news for a lot of reasons before and after it was launched. People were pretty excited during the rumormongering period and everyone wanted a piece of the action. But the day the Droid finally became publicly available, there was nothing much to write about the crowd that was’nt there (but was expected to be there). So everyone thought that the Droid had not been received too well by consumers. Seems like we spoke to early and that Droid has made a dent after all.

The Motorola droid is finally here, but is it everything that you ever wanted? May be yes and possibly no. While the phone has generally received great reviews with very little held against it, consumers are not showing much interest in the Droid. Verizon did not expect the fanaticism that Apple products inspire but they surely were expecting something more.
The day of the Droid came and went by without any notable incident. There were no reports of crazy long lines or of people getting all excited about it. There was a palpable lack of interest in the device.
So why are people so very cold towards the red-eyed Droid? It might have something to do with the wrong ad campaign launched by Verizon.

Here at Otaku Gadgets, we are pretty grateful about the new trend in cell phones. With the iPhone and Android fighting it out and the others squatting on the sidelines, you have to admit that this is an interesting time to be using and buying cell phones in. However, in the face of all that improvement in the mobile OS arena, Microsoft is still lagging behind. If Steve Ballmer can publicly wish that they could skip 6.5 and go straight on to Windows Mobile 7, I think I am justified in saying that we feel something similar.
But that is only a passing thought before we dive in to the madness of it all. BlackBerry is struggling to catch up it seems and Palm is probably resting after the Pre and App Catalogue updates. Get to the other side for this week’s round up.
