[ONEPLUS WATCH 2 REVIEW]

“If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.”

But seriously: I respect anyone who comes back to the plate after striking out, and the OnePlus Watch 2 is such an improvement over the original that I’d have forgiven the company for dropping the “2” from the name entirely, and pretending the first generation never existed. This is a solid smartwatch driven by some great ideas, at a price point that makes sense.

Thing is: some of those great ideas came from Google (which means we’ll soon see them on other watches) and there are enough app oddities – and compelling competition – to give me a little bit of pause when it comes to this Wear OS watch.

[MWC 2024 ROUND-UP]

How many ways can you fold a phone? Are Google smartwatches poised for a comeback? Is it time to reconsider modular accessories? And … do you even need a phone anymore?

I’m Michael Fisher and I’ve spent a week in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress 2024 with all the new mobile devices trying to answer those questions!

[WHEN PHONES WERE FUN: PALM PRE]

You know that satisfying feeling you get when you flick your apps off your screen to close them? Or when you finally get used to gestures and realize how much more fluid they feel than buttons? How’bout just typing right on your home screen to find what you’re looking for? Or, my personal favorite: the simple joy of dropping your phone onto a puck to charge it. It’s kinda like … “when you’re driving, and all the red lights ahead of you are turning green … and going ‘bing … bing … bing.’”

All those features – and so many more – can be traced back to a single progenitor: a phone that promised to think ahead … with a name to match. When it broke cover fifteen years ago, the Palm Pre captivated the press and made the still-new iPhone 3G look pedestrian by comparison.

But just two years after its debut, this phone, its acclaimed software platform and the venerable company that spawned it would all be gone. I’m MrMobile; the year is 2009; and this is the story of the Palm Pre.

[ABOUT WHEN PHONES WERE FUN – PALM PRE, 2009]

This is the 24th in a series of MrMobile videos exploring the mobile tech world’s most vibrant period in design and experimentation. In “When Phones Were Fun,” Michael Fisher re-reviews cellphones from the golden age of mobile, the decade-long span from the turn of the century to approximately 2013.

When Phones Were Fun: Episode 24 was produced with Palm and HP products purchased through eBay by MrMobile’s publisher, and donated by friends of the channel cited in the credits. The archive photos featured in this video were shot by Michael Fisher on his personal Palm Pre and HP Veer, circa 2009-2011.

[HONOR MAGIC V2 PORSCHE DESIGN RSR REVIEW]

Behold: the newest “car phone” is here!

No, I don’t mean the car phone from the 80s – I’m talking about the product of the same collaborations that gave us the BMW Motorola Timeport of the 1990s; the Pininfarina Nextel i833 of the mid-oughts; and the Porsche Design BlackBerry and Huawei phones from the 20-teens!

Truth be told, I found those earlier efforts mostly forgettable – because the phones they focused on were already standouts in design and capability, from brands well-established in their respective spaces. But Honor is another story entirely: a company that’s been trying to make a splash since 2016, but which has been held back by circumstances both within and beyond its control.

So as Honor begins offering its groundbreaking super-slim Honor Magic V2 foldable to European buyers, teaming up with German design legend Porsche Design makes all the sense on the continent. (It’s just a shame all its design wins are only skin-deep.)

[WHEN PHONES WERE FUN: SAMSUNG SPH-A900 / MM-A900 / “BLADE”]

“All of this has happened before, and all of it will happen again.” That Battlestar Galactica quote is never far from my mind, and it came to me recently as I shuffled through a folder of photos I shot over 18 years ago – on the very last feature phone I ever carried as my daily driver.

It was a time of more imitation than iteration, but also a time when traditional mobile phones were plateauing as a newer, smarter form of communicator was poised to take over. I’m Michael Fisher; the year is 2006; and Samsung is still a “fast follower.” Join me for a look back at its rapid-release RAZR competitor, the Samsung Blade (aka the A900).

[SAMSUNG GALAXY S24 ULTRA REVIEW]

Yes, the bezels are slimmer. Yes, the screen is flat. And yes: the Pen … still has an S in front of it. But if you’re looking for excitement in smartphones (at least those without a hinge), software is where it’s at these days – and that’s why Samsung has chosen to pitch its newest, most-expensive bar-type Galaxy … as an “AI Phone.”

Yeah, the buzzword I managed to mostly avoid at this year’s CES in Las Vegas finally caught up with me at Samsung’s Unpacked event in San Jose – and here’s the thing: AI does actually make it easier to get excited about this year’s Galaxy Ultra. The only question is … for how long.

[MRMOBILE’S CES 2024 FAVORITES]

You know the old saying: maybe the real CES is the friends we made along the way.

I told you at the end of last year that 2024 will not see me casting as wide a net to cover every electronic bauble that crosses my radar. Whether you’re talking tech videos or life itself, I think it’s wise to save your awe, your wonder, even your skepticism for stuff that truly gets your attention (one way or the other). That, plus the fact that I was also on the other side of the media/marketing divide this year (hawking a product I helped develop!) means my pick list from the world’s biggest tech show is shorter this time around.

Nevertheless, it was indeed a Good Year at CES 2024 – and from dual-screen laptops to AI handhelds to (yes) a recreational vehicle … I’ve rounded up the products that got my blood pumpin.’ One of which tells me just how fast that pumpin’ is going.

#ces2024 #rabbitr1 #asuszenbook #ringconn #clicksforiphone #technology

Steve Jobs was right back in 2007: if smartphones were going to evolve, their physical QWERTY keyboards had to go. But there’s a lot of convenience, reassurance, and even fun that comes with keys – and looking back after 17 years, it’s possible that as a society, we threw the buttons out with the bathwater.

So let’s change that. I’m Michael Fisher, and I co-founded a company that’s bringing real buttons to the iPhone, with a Creator Keyboard inspired by some of my favorite phones of the past (that enhances one of the most popular phones of today). Introducing: Clicks for iPhone!

[ABOUT THIS VIDEO]

Michael Fisher is a co-founder of Clicks Technology, and as such has a financial interest in its success. That makes this video unique in the history of the MrMobile channel, as the manufacturer being covered is also the content creator producing the coverage!

Nevertheless, the script for this hands-on was developed independently by Michael Fisher, with only limited input from the Clicks Technology team for legal oversight and fact-checking purposes. The opinions contained herein are entirely those of Michael Fisher.

[THE LEFTOVERS: 2023]

From Apple Park in Cupertino; to Ice Cream Bay in Shenzhen; to a hundred-mile ride across Long Island on an e-Bike … MrMobile has covered a lot of ground this year. And I’ve had some firsts along the way: sitting down with Rick Osterloh to talk mobile AI; being among the first to fondle the new iPhones (for the first time); and delving ever deeper into the world of foldables – first with a handful of hinges from Oppo, then deep inside the Dongguan durability dungeons of OnePlus.

But despite seeing and doing all that, my ever-narrowing range of interests … and my ever-ascending age meant that I just couldn’t get to every product that I wanted to. I’ll explain why that’s not likely to change in 2024 – but first, let’s close the book on 2023 with all the best tech I missed (or skipped) in MrMobile’s latest episode of The Leftovers!
