LG isn’t the only player busting out with hot, mirror finished mobile phones for the fashionable set. The Samsung Ultra Edition 2 is definitely one hot number, and has finally gone official with Samsung’s release of the phone to limited markets.

Will: Windows Mobile Product Guide, Apple iPhone’s secret, and…HTC’s At It Again!
We had a lot happen over the weekend! Bees are dying because we use our cellphones too much, Symbian widgets are on the way, we got transforming phones, and wooden cell phones. But alas, we don’t have the time or need to recap all that mess. Let’s look at some Windows Mobile-related developments.
Will Nokia’s S60 widgets be secure?
Thank you for linking me to this article Deckard. Andrew Orlowski of The Register basically slams Nokia for 3 straight pages. First about the insecurity of widgets then the declining quality of Nokia products and finally he asks a rhetorical question concerning which direction Nokia is heading in. The only rebuttal I have is numbers…
Poor Guy Has Been Waiting For 3 Months For Nokia To “Repair” His Phone – Questionable Nokia Customer Service
The Consumerist has a letter from poor Bob A. regarding his futile and unheeded attempts to get his phone back from “repair” at Nokia. He sent the phone in for repair, expecting a 10 day turn-around, and he’s still waiting – 3 months later. The crazy thing is that he is still subscribed and paying…
WiMAX More Appealing To Consumers Than 3G or WiFi Access; In-Stat Survey Finds
A survey from In-Stat reveals that when consumers had a choice of WiMAX, WiFi, or 3G, they resoundingly preferred WiMAX. The report cites a “significant preference” for the long distance WiMAX protocol.

Microsoft And AT&T Speak Out Against Google And DoubleClick Merger For Anti-Trust Violations – Hilarity Ensues!
The fact that the $3.1 billion merger of Google and DoubleClick is being opposed by Microsoft and AT&T, on grounds of possible anti-trust violations, just goes to show that Karma has a sense of humor (peppered with irony). Microsoft, once involved in a Department of Justice showdown for violoating anti-trust regulations, is whining about the…
To widget or not to widget, that is the S60 question
Let me start by saying that I don’t use widgets. I tried "getting it" like I tried understanding Twitter, but I’m just not cool enough to grasp the concept apparently. Widgets are these teeny tiny applications that usually do one thing. They serve a purpose by saving you time from having to open a larger,…
Fujitsu Lab’s New Technology Can Give 1.5 Times Longer Battery Life On Mobile WiMAX Phones
WiMAX looks to be emerging as the wireless broadband protocol of choice in the US and abroad. If only there were some way to fix the ridiculous power drain imposed by the WiMAX transmitter. Oh wait! There is a way! Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. developed a technology to kick WiMAX transission amplifier efficiency into high gear!…
Verizon Unlimited Text, Picture, Video Messaging Coming April 15?
So, the nation’s largest wireless provider may be bringing some unlimited action to its text, picture, and video messaging services. Unlimited mobile and text message packages are nothing new, but an unlimited package for ALL multimedia messaging is definitely a worthy new development. Single rate plans are expected to demand a $20 premium and Family…
Nokia Beta Labs launched today
Remember the Wellness Diary, Sports Tracker and Widsets? In a style similar to Google Labs, which is a sand box for new ideas, Nokia launched "Nokia Beta Labs" today. Tommi has the details. I hope this is the start of something big. Nokia is connecting with the enthusiast S60 users out there and asking them…
