About a year ago, we looked at a cool dock for your iPhone to use at a desk called the Desk Phone Dock. If you liked the looks of that thing you may have been wondering what happened to it.

There were a lot of angry Samsung branded Windows Phone 7 users that weren’t able to get the update to the WinPho 7 OS thanks to some sort of error that was bricking the devices last week.

Sonim makes all sorts of rugged phones and typically being rugged is all they are really known for. The latest offering from Sonim is rugged and has some other really cool features as well. The big feature is that the phone claims to have the world’s longest talk time on a GSM network.

Frankly, I haven’t been all that impressed by Windows phones over the years. Even with the improvements in Windows Phone 7, I feel like the platform is a day late and a dollar short in comparison with Android and iOS.

Ever needed to record your phone calls? Let us pretend for a moment that you believe that there is some huge government conspiracy against you. If you tell anyone this, they’re going to think you’re crazy.

Don’t you hate missing a call because you didn’t hear the ringer? Usually this problem can be fixed by turning your cell phone’s ringer on. However, some people do still rely on landline phones for the majority of their calls.

Ah, landlines! Do they still exist? I thought we were in the future already. Well, people might still think that they have landlines, but a lot of users are now happy with their cellphones and VOIP handsets offered by Internet and cable companies instead of Ma Bell.

For years, everyone wanted a wristwatch phone, but they’ve been eclipsed by really good smartphones. Don’t get me wrong, I’d like to pretend that I’m a spy like anyone else, but like many of the iPod Nano watch bracelets have shown, it just doesn’t make sense to plug in some headphones onto something that’s strapped on your wrist.

Now I’m really not sure why you’d want to transform your svelte, modern iPhone into an ugly old handset, but that’s what the Phone x Phone is designed to do.

Come on, admit it, you’ve wanted a phone watch since you were a kid. Heck, I wanted a TV watch, a video game watch, etc. There’s something über-cool about having the world around your wrist. Well, this USB phone watch, which also comes with GPS, might be worth a look.

Don’t you hate those times when you’re having a pleasant conversation with someone, only to have it interrupted by their phone? There’s a good chance that the other person would be just as annoyed if it were your phone going off.

Looking to play a really cruel trick on your buddy with an iPhone 4? Then grab one of these clever decals which turns the back of the iPhone into the front. Or is it the other way around?

The most dangerous thing about my job is being harassed by a web troll. Some folks, on the other hand, have the sort of jobs where they are out in a hostile environment alone and if they get hurt no one is around to help them.

I have had some really shitty days in my time, but one dude in China has given new meaning to the term. As the story goes, the guy was in the crapper, drops his phone down the toilet, and then rams his hand not just into the water, but down the damn poop chute of the toilet.

Are you a Japanese vegan gardener? Well good for you, because DoCoMo has just released the perfect new device for you. So, this thing is actually called a Garden Sensor. It will ensure that your veggies will turn out perfect.

Can’t decide what sort of a smartphone to buy? The WinDroid is the perfect phone for you indecisive folks out there. The phone ships with the none-too-thrilling Android 1.6 OS (but can be upgraded to 2.1 – voiding its warranty, though).
