Motorola launched a successor of its RAZR-like Gleam clamshell, simply called Gleam+. That “plus” is well deserved since the new device looks much better than the original Gleam model.

Speaking of specs, this fancy fella’ rocks a 2.8-inch WQVGA (240×400 pixels) internal display, external screen comprised of 144 LEDs, 2-megapixel camera with fixed focus, Bluetooth 2.1, FM radio, 3.5mm headset jack, and 50MB of built-in storage that is further expandable with microSD memory cards.

Consumers may love the iPhone, but carriers hate it
Ever wonder why when you walk into a carrier store, they always subtly (or in some cases, not so subtly) try to push you toward buying an Android device? The reason is because even though Apple requires a grandiose display of the iPhone, carriers make much more money off of Android phones. Carriers pay Apple the subsidy that is able to keep the iPhone down to its $199 price point even after cramming in loads of new features in every release. For Apple, this is good. For consumers, this is … Read more

As part of the promotion for its highly sought-after phablet (phone/tablet), Samsung Canada is running a contest in which it will give away 5 Galaxy Note units to lucky bastards users. The huge device is heading to Canada’s three networks — including TELUS, Bell and Rogers — and will cost up to $729.99 sans any long-term commitments. Of course, with a three-year contract the price goes down, but you’ll still need to shell out some $200 to get this beast phone/tablet. The contest has already started and it runs through … Read more

Halliburton dumps BlackBerry, starts distributing iPhones to workers
One of the world’s largest oilfield companies, Halliburton, publicly acknowledged its decision to stop giving workers BlackBerrys and start equipping them with iPhones. This is a gigantic blow to Research in Motion because the BlackBerry has for a very long time been widely considered the best phone for enterprise users. Halliburton obviously disagrees and so will many other companies if RIM doesn’t step its game up in time. Spokesperson for Halliburton, Tara Mullee Agard, said to Reuters in an email, “We are making this transition in order to better support our … Read more

LG’s upcoming Optimus Vu has a 5-inch screen with 4:3 aspect ratio
LG is teasing us with a new, still unannounced device. Called Optimus Vu, it’s an Android smartphone with a huge 5-inch screen. However, there’s something special about that screen – it has a 4:3 aspect ratio which is kinda strange, prompting us to think about compatibility and how many of the existing apps will render on such a device. Aside from that screen, this bad boy will also comes with a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm APQ8060 SoC, 1GB of RAM, 8GB ROM, NFC, 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread will … Read more

Samsung squashes hopes of Galaxy S III debuting at March 22 event
Contrary to the wishful thinking of many, Samsung confirmed it will not introduce the Galaxy S III smartphone at its March 22nd event in France.

Instead, a spokesperson for Samsung told The Next Web that the event will just be a regular day of talking about the company’s current line of products. How fun. Last week, Samsung also shot down rumors of a Galaxy S III debut … Read more

Droid RAZR MAXX temporarily out of stock on Verizon’s website
The DROID RAZR MAXX is obviously selling like hot cupcakes these days with Verizon Wireless at one point listing the popular devices as out of stock (along with the LG Revolution and Motorola DROID X2). However, the carrier and Motorola must’ve been working round the clock to fix this “injustice” and now the DROID RAZR MAXX is back with a small label that says “Will ship by 2/9.” That’s two days from now, so if you want the thicker version of the RAZR (with bigger 3300 mAh battery), you may … Read more

TELUS to get the LG Optimus LTE, too
We’ve already spilled the beans on TELUS’ LTE plans, talking about the carrier’s LTE-enabled SIM cards. Moreover, we’ve heard about two devices from their LTE portfolio – Samsung Galaxy Note LTE and Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE. Now we have another phone to add to the mix – LG Optimus LTE. Unfortunately, we’ve no idea when TELUS will start selling the best mobile device LG has ever made, though we hope that will happen sooner rather than later. The above image comes from LG Canada’s website, clearly showing TELUS as … Read more
