Lucky Susi from Shiny Shiny had a chance to get her hands on the upcoming Samsung G800. As you’re probably aware — as we’ve already wrote about it for a couple of times — the G800 is Samsung’s answer to Nokia’s N95, N95 8GB and N82, and to Sony Ericsson K850i. But the Korean giant…

QKfone G998 – Fake Mercedes communicator from China
We know Mercedes is not in the mobile phones business, but that doesn’t mean they’re totally against borrowing their brand to the other handset makers. For instance, we saw Asus’ Windows Mobile smartphone wearing the famous car badge. As expected, certain Chinese handset makers don’t need those “old fashioned agreements” to use someone else’s trademark…
Brief: College students have no morals, nothing new
David Pogue was shocked to discover that when interacting with an audience of 500 college students only 2 thought downloading music and video is illegal. Why is he surprised? The faster the west realizes it will be just like the east, the better. What does this have to do with mobile? The next evolution of…
Would you walk 12 miles to charge your cellphone?
Well, we sure wouldn’t, but that’s only because we don’t have to. Would you walk 12 miles to juice up your mobile phone? We thought not. Apparently, there are a few dozen villagers living in the, well, village of Kajrai in India that are making the 12-mile trek to the nearest power-port to charge-up their…
Samsung F490 and Samsung P720 spotted in the wild
We’re getting geared up for CES 2008 next month and we just can’t wait to see what lies in store for us on the showroom floor (not to mention all those after-parties!). And, it seems that Samsung just couldn’t wait either. They’ve gone ahead and unveiled a couple new handsets in Ukraine – just in…
Video: It was the night before Christmas, not a mobile phone was on silent
Ewan is difficult to explain with words. The first time I met him I loved that he boldly walked around with a Palm book bag strapped to his back at a Nokia event. The second time I met him I wanted to punch him in the face since he was the only one at our…
PlayStation emulator for iPhone is now public and free!
There’s no lack of third-party gaming applications for the iPhone as it is – we have NES games, card games, puzzle games, and so on – and now we have PlayStation games. As expected, the psx4iPhone application has just been released through Installer.app, basically turning your iPhone into a PSP with touchscreen controls! The developer,…
Danger set to go public – files with SEC for $100 million IPO
We love Danger for their T-Mobile exclusive Sidekick lineup, and even more for that glorious 3-inch Sharp AQUOS display in the Sidekick LX. Unfortunately, Danger’s earnings essentially depend upon T-Mobile. And, while they’ve seen revenue grow from $49.3 to $56.4 million in the past few years, Danger’s been bleeding cash to the tune of $11.7…
Sharp W61SH AQUOS phone for KDDI
Sharp, the pioneering LCD manufacturer, has released another handset fitted with their famous Sharp AQUOS brand of LCD display. The Sharp W61SH will only be available to subscribers on Japan’s KDDI network – sad. With a 2.8 inch Sharp AQUOS display that sports an amazing 2000:1 contrast ratio, the Sharp W61SH is almost enough to…
Broadcom takes Qualcomm to court again – claims continued patent infringement
That federal judge may have saved Qualcomm from having to pony-up almost $40 million to Broadcom – you know, that patent infringement case that was made so famous by the ITC’s ban of Qualcomm’s mobile chipsets – but Broadcom’s not going to take it lying down. Broadcom is claiming that Qualcomm’s “workaround” is still infringing…
