T-Mobile gets official with the Sidekick LX and Sidekick Slide
We’ve been expecting it, and we already know pretty much everything there is to know about both of the upcoming Sidekick models – but that doesn’t make the announcement from T-Mobile any less significant. The Sidekick carrier has just gone official with their announcement of the Sharp/Danger Sidekick LX and Motorola Sidekick Slide. The Sidekick…
What’s taking T-Mobile’s 3G rollout so long – slow, bumbling government, that’s what
Leave it to governmental agencies and bureaucratic sludge to gunk-up the 3G-rollout process for T-Mobile. As you’ll recall, T-Mobile spent a good chunk of change ($4.2 billion) to acquire 120 spectrum licenses for the 1700Mhz frequency spectrum – with the intention of using the spectrum to launch their 3G network. So what’s taking them so…
Food as mobile phone straps
We can’t understand why food is so appealing to manufacturers of mobile phone accessories, but it seems to be par for the course in Asia. These cellphone straps look good enough to eat (which must be why they come with “Do Not Eat” tags), kind of like those sushi (or chocolate) shaped cell phone screen…
Sony Ericsson K770i Cyber-shot passes the FCC hurdle
The latest Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot phone, K770i, is now officially ready to be sold on the U.S. market.

In case you thought there won’t be any special Samsung Armani headset, think again. Samsung and Armani have just unveiled the special edition of the WEP-410 headset. The Armani logo is there, meaning this tiny Bluetooth accessory will cost a fortune. Wait a minute, I have the WEP-410 though without any Armani branding. Still I…
DoubleClick goes mobile
Mobile advertising is as hot as never before. Previously we saw Google’s AdSense and AdWords going mobile and now DoubleClick — also part of Google — rolled out its DoubleClick Mobile solution. The new DoubleClick’s offering integrates with the existing DART solution and should help media companies sell and manage their inventories across multiple channels…
AT&T to launch red BlackBerry Curve 8310?
Although you can’t say that from the image on the right, AT&T is reportedly preparing to launch the BlackBerry Curve 8310 in red. Again and again we see both carriers and handset makers releasing their handsets in multiple colors to appeal to both sexes and different styles. Hack, we’ve even seen T-Mobile releasing BlackBerry Pearl…
Sony Ericsson Z750 now available in purple and silver
Again it’s eagle-eyed Maximus who spotted that Sony Ericsson will be rolling out Z750 in purple and in silver colors — actually the latter is called “Platinum Silver.” The specs of course remain the same, and include such things as 2.2″ QVGA screen, 2 MP camera, HSDPA, and Bluetooth 2.0. The main idea seems that…
