Hello GBM! I am Chris.

Posted by | 09/28/2010 | 15 Comments

I wanted to start off my writing here at GottabeMobile with a little into about myself. Some of the readers might already know all about me, but for those that don’t, here you are.

I am Chris Leckness, I am the previous owner and editor of Mobilitysite.com (as well as Aximsite, GotZune, iPAQHQ, and others). I am a long time Microsoft MVP, Windows Phone, but I have been primarily an iPhone user since the launch of Windows Mobile 6.5. I am fairly sure that Windows Phone 7 will bring me back from the dark side though. I am not totally platform agnostic, but I try to give all mobile operating systems a fair shake.

Let’s see, Today is my 19 year anniversary. I have 2 kids, Brittney (17) and Brett (8) and I live happily in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, home of the Crimson Tide. I spent 10 years in the US Navy as an Electronics Tech and 10 more years as an Electronics Technician for Bellsouth.

I have been writing about mobile tech for 10 years now. My current mobile aresenal includes an iPhone 3G, an HTC HD2, an iPad, and a Sony VAIO laptop. These are the devices I actually use, but there are more in my graveyard that I don’t mind digging up on occasion. I recently retired my HTC Advantage that served as my living room device, replacing it with an iPad.

I look forward to sharing my mobile phone opinions and experiences with GBM!

About the Author (Author Profile)

Chris is a former Microsoft MVP, Windows Phone that attempts to live as a platform agnostic smart phone user, but fails badly at it. Often times his love/hate relationship with Microsoft glares through the Android user disguise. Now that he has more time, Chris enjoys spending time with his family, coaching baseball, and watching any sport involving the University of Alabama or Atlanta. Chris works for AT&T, but his thoughts and opinions are his own and that he does not represent AT&T in any capacity online. If you want to yell at him, send him free stuff, or ask him a question, hit him up at chris(at)notebooks.com.

    Whoa! I thought I saw your name in my RSS reader again this week, but I totally missed which site you were writing for!

    Welcome aboard, and it’s good to have your perspective on mobile tech back in my feeds. :)

    I remember you from Aximsite/Mobilitysite…stopped visiting that place a while back due to the lack of proper successors to the Dell Axim X50v/X51v, HP iPAQ hx4700, and such, though. Windows Mobile 6.x being dropped for an inferior replacement probably isn’t helping things.
