Dialed In No. 209: Windows Phone 8 details leak, HTC Sense is too weak
Author: CNET.com
Mon, Feb 06, 2012
This week's podcast is my first time ever hosting, so please excuse all the awkwardness as I get my sea legs going.
To compensate, I offer you a lively discussion about the new details surrounding Windows Phone 8. So far, there's word of a multicore processor in the works, as well as integration with the Windows 8 desktop and tablet operating system.
We also debate the merits of HTC's Sense skin. Some of us think it's just fine and dandy (we still get a kick out of that retro clock on the phones), but others believe it's time for a change. Especially when compared to Android's beautiful Ice Cream Sandwich OS.
And lastly, we offer some recent news headlines in the mobile industry, including purchasing details for the Samsung Galaxy S III (it's coming in May), and the Galaxy Note (it's available for preorder).

Dialed In #208: AT&T complains, Razr Maxx astounds
Author: CNET.com
Mon, Jan 30, 2012
Looks like AT&T just can't stop complaining about the FCC meddling in its business, but CNET mobile section editor Kent German just isn't having it.
We also discuss exactly how awesome we think the Motorola Droid Razr is, but is it a little too late for Droid Razr owners? In addition, other news rocked the smartphone world, including former Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein saying bye-bye to HP, recent co-CEO of RIM Mike Lazaridis injecting a massive amount of his own cash to boost the company's stock price, plus the value of possible Verizon family data plans.
Later in the show we all go gaga over the Sony Xperia S dream phone likely landing on AT&T and try to figure out if the Samsung Galaxy Note tablet/phone hybrid makes sense.

Dialed In #207: A new beginning for BlackBerry? (podcast)
Author: CNET.com
Mon, Jan 23, 2012
At BlackBerry-maker RIM, it's out with the old and in with the new--at least as CEOs go.
Last night's news of Thorsten Heins' ascent at our favorite Canadian smartphone company got us thinking long and hard about what the new leadership means for RIM, especially since Heins isn't exactly a newcomer to the company. CNET News' Roger Cheng joins the Dialed In crew.
Later in the show, Lynn shares Virgin Mobile's throttling plans, and Brian talks all about an iPhone look-alike that's more than what it seems.

Dialed In episode 204: The mighty Galaxy Nexus has landed! (podcast)
Author: CNET.com
Tue, Dec 20, 2011
There we were last week, minding our own business, when Verizon surprised us all by announcing it would release its Galaxy Nexus flagship phone the following day.
Well, we hopped to it and managed to get a device early and publish the first review of the phone. It's a good one. The very same day, Brian got his hands all over the Nokia Lumia 710, a Windows Phone that's launching at T-Mobile--and he can't believe it costs only $50. We also follow RIM into the dark, dark depths of its decline in this, our last episode of 2011. Worry not, we'll be back in 2012 with a CES preview.

Dialed In #203: WebOS is doomed to fail! (podcast)
Author: CNET.com
Tue, Dec 13, 2011
Is HP's WebOS doomed to fail and destined to die a slow, unremarkable death? Yes! Sorry if you're one of the few still clinging to this irrelevant operating system, but its days are numbered. In this episode of Dialed In we discuss the dim future of WebOS plus AT&T's plans for a blazing-fast 4G LTE network. We also make note of Samsung's blockbuster smartphone market share and give you a test drive of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S.

Who is Brian Bennett?
None other than CNET's newest cell phone editor! The New York-based Brian will share his expertise weekly on Dialed In. We also welcome another newcomer, the LG Nitro HD, which answers the question: can LG make a killer Android phone? New Verizon tablets are also on the menu, as well as Verizon's sneaky attack on its rivals' 4G LTE dreams. Plus, there's another nugget about a certain carrier we love to hate that will surprise absolutely no one.

Dialed In #201: Too polite for a fanboy brawl
Author: CNET.com
Mon, Nov 28, 2011
With a thirst for intellectual skirmish and good-natured trash-talking, I rounded up two special guest hosts for this week's Dialed In: Antuan Goodwin, Android enthusiast and co-host of CNET's Android Atlas podcast; and Roger Cheng, a CNET News mobile reporter and newly-minted iPhone 4S fanboy. Oh yes, the epithets would fly...
But only in my head. It turns out, we CNET folk are far too polite to speak ill words about another's chosen operating system that we might one day regret. Never fear, we do join forces to dish dirty on Facebook (who wants a Facebook phone anyway), RIM (diving further into financial depths), and the AT&T/T-Mobile merger (time for dismemberment?) Join us in all the schadenfreude fun!
