How would you change HTC’s Touch Diamond / Pro?

Posted in: Features, HowWouldYouChange, HTC, HWYC, smartphone, Today's Chili, touch

HTC’s Touch Diamond and QWERTY-packin’ Touch Pro have run into some stiff competition here in the US of A, but as Adam Smith would certify, all that competition is only for the best. Now that you’ve seen what these two can do, not to mention their rivals, we’re wondering how you would change whichever handset it is (of these two, obviously) that you own. Implement a Touch HD-style display? Load it up with Android? Round those edges a bit more? Add a bigger battery at the expense of style? Say it loud, say it proud, say it down in comments below.

How would you change Canon’s EOS 5D Mark II?

Posted in: camera, dslr, Features, HowWouldYouChange, HWYC, Today's Chili

Okay, so besides the obvious black dot / band issues that Canon doesn’t seem to care much about, how else would you tweak the EOS 5D Mark II? Said DSLR has proven itself as a champion in the low-light / video space, thought there’s like, no competition at all thus far in the latter department. Are you comfortable with the grip? Is the UI friendly enough to navigate? Too light or heavy? Does it make you weep in joy each time you hold it? For those who’ve laid down the coin for this, we’re sure you’ve got a few things to say — so vent in comments below, won’t you?

How would you change Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1?

Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1 hasn’t been the easiest handset to procure here on US soil, despite being “available” since Black Friday. Still, we know hardcore HTC / SE fanatics have figured out a way to get their palms in touch with the X1a (or X1i for international users). You already heard our spill on the handset, but now we’re interested in finding out how you’d tweak things if given the all-important keys to the design lab. Would you keep everything the same and just add Android? Would you rework the keyboard? Swap out the touchscreen with a capacitive replacement? Make it available only in turquoise and lime? It’s a pretty safe bet that this isn’t the last Xx smartphone you’ll see from SE, so your thoughts on the matter may actually prove beneficial in time. And… go!
