Engadget Mobile Podcast 160 - 12.08.2012

[ ](http://www.engadget.com/2012/12/09/engadget-mobile-podcast-160-12-08-2012/)

Carriers... listen up. This one's for you. Thinking about slapping some garish branding on your latest smartphone? Maybe on a button? Or, contemplating some bloatware? Yeah, you know who you are, and so do Myriam and Brad. Some things are just better left untouched. Unlike the Nokia 620 or Popslate, that is, both of which our mobile editors are verk keen to touch indeed. Business as usual then!
