Just when we were wonder why Chinese handset makers cloners don’t release their “version” of the Nokia Prism phone, Maximus have spotted one. As a matter of fact, they’ve been able to clone the recently spotted white Nokia Prism phone, which I find looking quite appealing. As for the specs, this is one decent clone…

British Information Commissioner’s Office: It’s ok to Bluetooth spam people
Information Commissioner’s Office recently evaluated its rules and came up to a conclusion that Bluetooth was NOT covered by the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. Mentioned regulations prohibit marketers from sending unsolicited messages (aka SPAM) on a “public electronic communications network.” Meaning, SMS and email are not allowed, but Bluetooth is perfectly legal to use…
Samsung T539 Beat video tour
Lucky folks of PhoneScoop got a chance to play with the recently announced Samsung SGH-T539, also known as Samsung Beat. Available through T-Mobile, Samsung’s mid-range clamshell is optimized for music, but also packs 1.3 MP camera, stereo Bluetooth support and the standard microSD memory slot. But I don’t want to talk much about, the video…
Nokia’s too late: Google acquires Jaiku
I always thought Nokia will be the one to acquire Jaiku. After all, it is one of the most popular Symbian S60 apps today. Not to mention that like Nokia, Jaiku is also based in Finland (if that actually counts). I guess I was either wrong, or the Finish giant came to late… Now, we…

AT&T to launch BlackBerry 8310 in Red and Titanium this week?
Earlier in September, we reported that the red BlackBerry Curve 8310 is heading to AT&T. According to the always highly-informed Boy Genius, that might happen this week. Apparently, AT&T will be launching the GPS receiver equipped Curve in “Crimson” and “Titanium” colors within a day or two. Interesting to note is that the former device…
AT&T adds Samsung A127, budget clamshell as GoPhone
AT&T has just added Samsung’s budget clamshell, SGH-A127, to its GoPhone offering. Don’t expect anything spectacular from this dual-band device, but then again it’s a $79 priced phone and for that money it looks quite decent. There are two screens (inner and outer), internal antenna, VGA camera, and… that’s it! If this isn’t the entry-level…
Verizon Wireless handset launch dates leaked – Juke, Pearl 2, Treo 755p, Venus, Voyager
Verizon Wireless’s recent holiday lineup announcement sparked frenzied anticipation of Verizon’s iPhone-fighting LG VX10000 Voyager handset. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any launch/release information on the Juke, Pearl 2, Venus, or Voyager. Until now. Boy Genius got his hands (as he always does) on a leaked Verizon Wireless spreadsheet that sheds some light on the No.…
