It looks like Palm Treo 700wx fans/users on Sprint’ network will be getting a bit of update-love from the people that tanked your Treo with that buggy firmware update. Palm has released a minor update for the Treo 700wx on Sprint’s network. This isn’t the patched version of the buggy update that Palm pulled from…

Sprint to launch BlackBerry Pearl 2 on Thanksgiving Day weekend?
The story of the BlackBerry Pearl 2 release slowly starts reminding me on the iPhone launch, except that RIM can’t generate as much as buzz as Apple can. First, we thought the next Pearl — also known as BlackBerry 8130 — is coming to AT&T and Vodafone this September. Later, Sprint’s 2007 and 2008 product…
Alltel adds HTC PPC6800 to its portfolio
While Verizon subscribers are still waiting for their carrier to come out with what many consider to be the ultimate Windows Mobile smartphone, Alltel is losing no time with the launch of HTC PPC6800 — also known as Mogul on Sprint. Potential customers of this business-centric baby could expect everything they ever wanted from a…
FCC listing reveals Brown Nokia 7900 Prism
The Nokia 7500/7900 Prism is a part of the Finish company’s fashion line of handsets, thus the accent is not on features, but on the overall appeal of the device. So, it’s not a surprise to see the brown version of the Prism phone for those wearing brown instead of black — or for people…
Cat’s out of the bag, I’m going to London
I’ve been following Ricky’s quest to get a passport on Jaiku for some time now. The Symbian Guru has finally got his papers and will be attending the Nokia Go Play event on August 29th. Since he is making an announcement about it, I might as well too: I’m going to London! Looking forward to…
I went to Finland and all I got was a venereal disease called Nsyndrome
Props to the guys in Nokia Multimedia’s Online Marketing Team. This latest attempt at creating a viral campaign called Nsyndrome is quite hysterical and I honestly like it more than jealous computers. The premise is easy, the N95 is such a converged device that it soon becomes apart of you. I can fully understand this…
Press shot of the Palm Centro leaked
Less than 5 minutes fresh in my RSS reader, Gizmodo has the scoop on the Palm Centro, a device that is meant for the youth market. Having recently been in college and still frequently attending parties at universities I can attest to the increase in BlackBerry Pearl ownership. Is the Centro a few years late?…
First Sony Ericsson W580i shipments with faulty keypad
The first shipments of the Sony Ericsson W580i were found to be faulty with several thousand devices coming with keypads prone to cracking. According to one Carphone Warehouse salesperson, the W580i’s keys were splitting and the first three phones they’ve sold were all returned. Naturally, the Swedish-Japanese handset maker reacted promptly and the later W580i…
Alcatel OT-E221 – the basic mobile phone
As much as we would like, we can’t write only about the high-end handsets. There’s the market for devices at the lower end of the spectrum as well, hence we’re here to cover it all. Lately, we’ve spotted Alcatel’s basic phone OT-E221 which lets users take and make phone calls, use text messaging service, and……
Taliban tapping into soldiers’ cell phones
We hate to admit, but just like with any other piece of technology, mobile phones could be used for evil purposes. Apparently, Taliban have been tapping into soldiers’ cell phones to make prank calls to their families. The wife of a British air force officer got a phone call in the middle of the night…
