It looks like RIM’s recently announced BlackBerry 8130 Pearl 2.0 is going to Verizon Wireless. The…

Helio kills the Drift – to be followed by Helio Mysto?
It’s not like Helio’s got a huge lineup of mobile phones in the first place, and now they’ve gone and killed one of their more promising devices – the Helio Drift. The GPS-packing Samsung slider is no more, it’s apparently been pulled from the website. But Helio fans need not despair. Word on the street…

Apple isn’t the only player that can send 1 million handsets out the door in a matter of months. It looks like HTC is following in the Apple iPhone’s footsteps – they’ve managed to ship 800,000 HTC Touch handsets in a mere 3 months! We should mention that HTC’s achievement has to be tempered by…

Personally, I don’t care much if it’s official or not, but I-play’s title promises a lot of fun for the racing game addicts. Apparently, the game will feature 16 official WRC locations, four…
Fact: People want to get their news straight from the horses mouth
Techmeme is a source I use to keep track about the hot topics people are talking about on the internets. Recently they launched a new feature called “Leaderboard” which lists the top 100 pages people are linking to.

Sony Ericsson K850i, W960i spotted for sale on Ebay Italy
Apparently two upcoming Sony Ericsson handsets, K850i Cyber-shot and W960i Walkman, were spotted for sale on eBay Italy.

On the other hand, the seller seems quite respectable,…
