Sony Ericsson K330, W890 get new colors
Two of the existing Sony Ericsson phones are getting new colors. The first one, recently announced K330, will be available in white, and the W890 Walkman in gold. The latter looks really good and certainly remind us on its gold predecessor, W880, although only the backside is golden. Other than the new color, both devices…
JGUI’s GPS.Friend helps Windows Mobile users find each other
JGUI, the same folks who prepared that ultra-cool Vista theme for Windows Mobile, have recently released a new application called GPS.Friend. The idea behind the app is simple – to allow users to find their friend, child or whoever from their mobile phone. Sure, you can use a service/app like Loopt for the purpose, but…
2 million Palm Centro smartphones sold!
It was at the end of March when we reported about Palm’s success to sell one million Centros. Now, they are reporting another million has been sold in the meantime! This is a huge success for the struggling Treo maker and I honestly hope they’ll release the long-awaited successor to the Palm OS pretty soon.…
Verizon to offer Pantech UTStarcom TXT8010 as Blitz
Just when we’ve started wondering what happened to the FCC-approved UTStarcom TXT8010, we have a new tidbit of information that suggests Verizon will be offering the Pantech-made device as Blitz. Apparently, the CDMA carrier will start selling the full slide-out QWERTY keyboard equipped phone on August 8th through Wal-Mart, followed by Best Buy on September…
Pantech C810 Duo comes to Mexico through Telcel
Pantech’s dual-faced C810 Duo is coming to Mexico. Telcel is the carrier which will offer the Windows Mobile smartphone, which boasts both a full QWERTY keyboard and a standard numeric keypad. There were some confusions in the blogosphere. This isn’t the Pantech Duo 2 model, or the C820 which we saw slipping through FCC. Rather,…

LG and Dolby Laboratories announced that LG would be the first handset maker to incorporate Dolby Mobile technology into its handsets.

T-Mobile’s 3G network sort of, kind of confirmed for October 1st?
Folks of TmoNews caught the poster above which shows T-Mobile’s 3G network will start working on October 1st — the “10.1.08 3G is Coming” sign clearly suggests so — just as we initially reported. However, the Deutsche Telekom mobile operator is still quiet about all things 3G, and until we hear something official from them,…
No more BlackBerry Connect for Nokia E-series – Nokia Email emphasized
That’s it. Nokia’s had enough of RIM’s encroachment on their business-phone segment. Rather than allowing Nokia E-series customers to eat from both sides of the pond, to butcher a few metaphors, Nokia has announced that they’ll no longer support BlackBerry Connect support on their business-oriented Eseries handsets. RIM is apparently doing well enough for themselves…
