Smartphone Round Robin Podcast

[ This is an official Smartphone Round Robin post! Every day you reply to an official Round Robin blog post or forum thread on CrackBerry.com, you automatically gain an entry ballot for a chance to win a BlackBerry Bold, Spare Bold Battery, and Case Mate Second Skin! If you somehow still don't know what this is all about, visit SmartphoneRoundRobin.com!! ]  

Here it is podcast listeners - our second Smartphone Round Robin Roundtable podcast. The show was broadcast live on Tuesday (thanks to all those who tuned in!) and was a h00t! If you missed the live action, you can download the recording and listen to Casey, Rene, Dieter and myself discuss, debate and argue all things smartphone (geek talk to the max and proud of it!). The focus of this episode was the Fuze and G1, but we also recap Roundtable #1 and close out with some final wishes for our home platforms. Enjoy the show!

That live podcast was great, you guys should definitly do that from time to time, shake things up a bit.

 
 
Posted by rrrebo Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1246 days ago

Off to listen now!

*cough*winmeabold*cough*cough*BOLD*

yay Bold!!

 
 
Posted by gvegas864 Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1246 days ago

this was a blast! funny that we talked out the Storm not being wireless and then Rogers & Fido drop one on us (maybe)

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1246 days ago

The Storm has always been "wireless".

 
 
Posted by Magnus_Z Saturday, Dec 27, 2008 1245 days ago

He obviously meant Wifi. That one was of the big drawback of the device and seems to be fixed on the GSM/HSDPA version Rogers is getting.

 
 
Posted by zee921 Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1246 days ago

Maybe I will get lucky and win a Bold!

 
 
Posted by meter_monkey Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1246 days ago

you guys always keep us entertained....
I'd be more entertained with a bold too :D

Grabbing it now for a listen. Feels like it's been an eternity since the first Round Robin (2008) Podcast...though it's only been a week or two.

I want that Bold! I am about to get a Curve through work, but I would definitely prefer the Bold, of course.

 
 
Posted by manttium Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1246 days ago

This round robin was very interesting! It was nice to see various smartphones from different perspectives!

I missed it live

Posted by cexshun Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1246 days ago

1.5 hour podcast. A little extreme there. I use podcasts during my commute, and 1.5 hours is way over the top.

 
 
Posted by eyedol Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1245 days ago

it was excelent !!

 
 
Posted by borockster Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1245 days ago

Posted by Dimietriev Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1245 days ago

I love your commentary. I also like it when you have all the editors together.

 
 
Posted by geek Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1245 days ago

WoOoOo geek talk!

 
 
Posted by dagda1 Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1246 days ago

I know what the focus is of the show but the Bold is still the best unit. Gotta have it. Come to me Bold.

Posted by absolutelyamazin1 Friday, Dec 26, 2008 1245 days ago

Great podcast...! cannot wait to actually "see" what comes out in the new year.

Posted by Angel Hernandez Saturday, Dec 27, 2008 1245 days ago

i would love a blackberry!

 
 
Posted by tjk Saturday, Dec 27, 2008 1245 days ago

great point on the android os, the flexibility of the os makes it very interesting! the bb homescreen is just the icons and hit the app, but the android os does a lot more simply on the homescreen!

 
 
Posted by rimbuk Saturday, Dec 27, 2008 1245 days ago

I respond because.. i can. and i want to win =)

Posted by Black-Cat Saturday, Dec 27, 2008 1245 days ago

First CrackCast I have heard. Are they all this long? I know the subject is interesting but my attention was wandering... needed a popcorn break!

 
 
Posted by Suefnp Saturday, Dec 27, 2008 1245 days ago

I just love listening to all of the geeks talking about these devices! I had been a Palm person for years and recently went Crack. I know I have not fully realized the potential of my Curve, but I already have bought the Crackberry Addict book to assist in my new habit. I need to buy a BB for dummies book to learn more. Thanks geeks.

I missed the live feed! It totally slipped my mind. =(

 
 
Posted by gojulas895 Saturday, Dec 27, 2008 1244 days ago

Sucks that I missed it live, but it should be good.

Posted by Nelimungous Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1244 days ago

I am now getting into the blackberry repair business. my obsession has become a part time job...just by someone asking...hey can you fix this? Yikes!

 
 
Posted by blackduck Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1244 days ago

To be honest, I'm not usually much of a podcast junkie, but these latest few are the kinda stuff that're totally worth checkin out!

And uh yeah... BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!BOLD!

Posted by Wasim Hayat Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1244 days ago

This one is really good

 
 
Posted by talljason Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1244 days ago

Really informative and cool to have all the editors talk about their favorite features from other smartphones.

 
 
Posted by eagle63 Saturday, Dec 27, 2008 1244 days ago

Yep, very nice - if I had more notice I would have tried to catch it live, but oh well... :)

 
 
Posted by prncssmelissa Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1244 days ago

I'm going to try and comment again (since my first didn't go through).

This is my first comment on any of these (mainly b/c I just joined the site not long ago). However, I'm enjoying letting others test the gadgets that I could possibly want, but without having to go through the trial and error myself.

That being said -- someone would have to pry my crackberry curve out of my cold dead hands...unless I won a crackberry bold that is! :)

 
 
Posted by BenDaPirate Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1244 days ago

I want I want I want!!!

 
 
Posted by pegb856 Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1244 days ago

Awesome listen. Thanks Kevin, you never let us down!

 
 
Posted by Dimietriev Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1244 days ago

So close to maybe winning...

Posted by joygasm310 Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1243 days ago

I couldnt take it anymore. I ordered my Bold. Itll be here in a couple of days. Waiting for it is the worst part. It would still be nice to win one though. haha. Two of something good is always better than one.

 
 
Posted by werty5926 Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1243 days ago

I'm in.

 
 
Posted by akamaru64 Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1243 days ago

You guys are great.
Wanna give me a chance to win that bold?

 
 
Posted by liz_309 Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1243 days ago

just waiting on my new bold...

 
 
Posted by Black-Cat Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1243 days ago

I wonder how they are tracking all the posts from various round robin topics and can choose winners at random? How many total posts are there?

 
 
Posted by scurvydlicious Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1244 days ago

Nice work taking up for Blackberry and us Crackberry addicts, Kevin. Would be nice to have some Bold action my way though ;^)

 
 
Posted by mkottman23 Sunday, Dec 28, 2008 1243 days ago

Loved the Round Robin-- I'm looking forward to next years!

Posted by Black-Cat Monday, Dec 29, 2008 1243 days ago

The Bold comes in black only? Purrfect!

 
 
Posted by talljason Monday, Dec 29, 2008 1243 days ago

You guys did a great job evaluating the pros and cons of all the phones...I found it interesting that Rene and Kevin would use the others phone as a second choice.

Dieter really seems to hate any proprietary software. I'm surprised he isn't an Android fan. But as BIS and Apple's app store show, proprietary software can lead to easy, simple, and effective experiences.

Here's my comment for the Bold!

 
 
Posted by jordanmah Wednesday, Dec 31, 2008 1241 days ago

this is going to be cool to listen to, can't wait!
