Good news for our readers from Italy. The leading telecom company in the country, Telecom Italia, along with Ericsson have already started deploying a new mobile network technology of 28 Mbps speeds in early 2009.

BlackBerry Pearl Flip going live in Brazil
TIM has announced the BlackBerry 8220 for Brazil, but without any pricing or dates, unfortunately. TIM has already released the Pearl Flip in Italy, so it’s only a matter of time before the 8220 reaches satellites in Brazil and Turkey. It was a little curious to see the site previously calling the 8220 the Kickstart…

Samsung C6620 Windows Mobile smartphone launched in Italy; Approved by FCC
Samsung is launching a new Windows Mobile smartphone in Italy called Samsung C6620. From what we can tell, the BlackJack-like handset comes with an improved QWERTY keyboard with buttons looking like those found on Nokia E71 or Palm Treo, which make typing way more convenient. Or at least, that’s my experience. Specs wise, there’s a…
BlackBerry Pearl Flip launches first in Italy
After lots of talk about T-Mobile and Rogers releasing the BlackBerry 8220, it turns out that TIM, across the pond in Italy, actually got the BlackBerry Pearl Flip first. Our buddy Stefano actually went to the launch event about two weeks ago, so it’s not entirely a surprise. It’ll be going for 269 € (around…
BenQ launches S6 with TIM
I don’t mean that BenQ used a person called Tim to launch the S6 (though they may have had someone of that name working on the launch), no, no, no – BenQ have launched the Mobile Internet Device called the S6 with Italian Operator TIM! There is an Intel Atom processor inside, along with 4.8″…
TIM to announce 3G iPhone on Monday or Tuesday?
Reuters is reporting that Italian carrier TIM will announce the 3G iPhone on Monday or Tuesday. And while we would like to believe that true — and considering WWDC starts on Monday it makes perfect sense — we still must post this under our “Rumors” section. Until we hear anything official from Apple or Telecom…
Sony Ericsson Z770 Ducati phone
Who doesn’t love the Italian gusto that goes in to every Ducati motorcycle’s design? Ducati exudes a sense of passion and style that bikers the world over envy. There’s only the small issue of the higher price point that keeps a Ducati out of practical reach for many. While a Ducati is pretty much the…
TIM bringing the BlackBerry Bold to Italy in July; Wants to rename it to Goldfinger?
Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM) will reportedly introduce the recently announced BlackBerry Bold 9000 in Italy during the second week of July. Apparently, the best BlackBerry to date will carry a hefty price tag, between 450 and 500 EUR. That’s a lot, but I guess the price will go down for business users who spend 100+…
Telecom Italia Mobile (TIM) to offer Apple iPhone in Italy
Italy’s going to have some competitive iPhone sales later this year. With Vodafone already on-board to bring the 3G iPhone to Italy as part of a 10-country iPhone launch, the juggernaut wireless provider is an iPhone-force to be reckoned with. But, that’s not going to stop smaller Italian carrier Telecom Italia Movil (TIM) from giving…
