Sync your Apple iPhone with two different computers – get multiple iTunes’ music onto the iPhone
We love the iPhone’s ability to easily and quickly transfer music from our iTunes’ library. There’s nothing like a little plug and click simplicity to take any and all inconvenience out of make accessing your music a breeze. But, there’s just one little catch – you can only synchronize the music from a single computer’s…
Vodafone Germany gets jiggy with Visual Voicemail too – kind of
Vodafone Germany must be feeling a little left out of the iPhone party that’s sweeping through Europe right now. With T-Mobile Germany rumored to be getting exclusive dibs on the iPhone in the land of hefeweizen and sauerkraut (oh, and bratwurst and the Autobahn – can’t forget those!), Vodafone Germany must be thinking that the…
Brix mobile phone concept – the full-screen modular phone
Now this is one amazing mobile phone concept. Designer Seokwon Hong brings us the sleek and sexy Brix modular phone concept. By itself, the Brix concept is beautiful – the full front face of the device is occupied by the display. But combined with the ability to connect to other Brix handsets, this thing has…
Nokia N95 with US 3G support coming in September!
Nokia’s on a press junket craze like no other recently. The Nokia N81, the Nokia N95 8GB Black, all those Nokia accessories, and not to mention the Nokia 5310 and 5610 Xpress Music Phones – it’s a lot in such a short timeframe. We’ve barely had time to process the results of the Nokia GoPlay…

HTC gets real with the HTC Touch II (Nike) TouchFLO smartphone – DoCoMo’s HTC HT1100
It’s finally here folks. After much speculation and a handful of spy pics, HTC has finally gone official with their HTC P5500 Touch II (codenamed “Nike”) Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional smartphone. Unfortunately for those residing within US borders, the HTC Nike is making its debut on Japan’s DoCoMo network, renamed (just like carriers love to…
First Chinese phone with full QWERTY slide out keyboard
Chinese have did it again. This time I’m not talking about a clone device — or at least I think I’m not — but about the first China-made device which sports the slide out keyboard. Although, it DOES resemble some smartphones from the HTC portfolio, it’s kinda hard to patent the slide out mechanism, hence…
Samsung SGH-i620 Windows Mobile 6 smartphone officially announced
We’ve already talked about Samsung SGH-i620 and discussed that it will most probably be carried by Vodafone across Europe. Now, the smartphone has been officially announced and soon we could expect it to hit all major European markets. Apparently, the QWERTY (or AZERTY or QWERTZ – depending of the country) keyboard equipped slider will see…
Old Ericsson phone made out of wood
No, this isn’t some exclusive eco-friendly exclusive handset. Rather it’s an old Ericsson phone made out of wood and it’s coming from Russia. Actually, everything outside has been replaced with wood except buttons and display. Also, I doubt there are any changes in terms of device’s hardware — it remains the basic phone that can…
