Tonight, we finally got our hands on the BlackBerry Bold, and it was worth the wait. You've already seen the UI, which yes, it's that snappy and smooth. The screen is nice 'n' crispy, if a lil' tiny for extended cinematic pursuits. But the real q: How's the browser? Damn skippy. It not only renders Giz correctly (a feat that makes most mobile browsers cry blood), it's fast (thanks AT&T), and zooming in and out with the trackball works pretty well.
Smaller than the 8800, but bigger than the Curve, it feels really nice in your hand. Well, our hand. The keyboard is solid, as expected—BlackBerries live and die by the keyboard. Sweet design, more features, a great browser and the most consumer-oriented feel of any BlackBerry yet. This is the BlackBerry you've been wanting.

Samsung OMNIA Videos from MobiFrance
My friend Nghia from MobiFrance attended the global launch for the Samsung OMNIA in Singapore and he captured a couple of great videos. The video above is your typical marketing fluff (complete with some rather cheesy dialogue), but it shows the capabilities of the device - the OMNIA has some very interesting features, and in many ways, it doesn't even look like Windows Mobile. Samsung obviously picked up the glove HTC threw down with TouchFlo over a year ago and they've put some serious effort into customizing the user experience.
The other video that Nghia published shows a live walkthrough of the user interface on the OMNIA - a must see if you're interested in this device (embedded after the break).

HTC Touch Cruise Unboxing and First Impressions Video
This is an unboxing and first impressions video of the HTC Touch Cruise [affiliate], a Windows Mobile 6 Professional smartphone. With a 400MHz CPU, 256 MB of ROM, 128 MB of RAM, a 2.8 inch QVGA (320 x 240) LCD touch screen, GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA/UMTS for communications (oh, and 802.11 b/g WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0), and a GPS chip in it, it's a capable device. Watch me have fun trying to find the power button (never having seen one in person prior to this). ;-)

Nokia N78 video hands-on
We unboxed this little N-series wonder yesterday, but if you've still got a hankering for more N78, there's a video after the break that should uncover all its magical wares. Or maybe it just shows us messing around with the phone for a few minutes with no real purpose or direction. One of those.
