The Signal (IntoMobile Podcast: Episode 18)

Is it just me, or are the a lot of phones catching on fire this week?
Seriously, we’ve got Quickfire taken off shelves, the Bold is warming up, even the iPhone is on fire! Regardless, the biggest thing happening this week is the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) App World, but Will and I do chat about Motorola (NYSE: MOT), and how they’re recession woes versus Nokia (NYSE: NOK). Two new phones, the Versa and 8 GB Renoir caught our eye as well, and generated some good discussion about design versus horsepower. There’s plenty of other news items we didn’t cover, but you can see the full link list after the jump.
Hop on through for IntoMobile’s Pyro Edition podcast…
