Nokia launches mobile social network – MOSH by Nokia!
While all the big carriers are working hard to get existing social networks ported to play nice on their networks and handsets, Nokia seems to be taking a completely different approach. They’ve launched the first-ever social network launched by a handset maker – and who better to do it than the the most prolific mobile…
There will be a Nokia internet tablet with WiMAX and we’ve known about it for months
Over 4 months ago (March 14, 2007) a Nokia press release was released that said: In addition to supplying Sprint Nextel with WiMAX network infrastructure, Nokia will also develop WiMAX-enabled mobile devices, including multimedia computers and Internet tablets, which are expected to be available in 2008. I blogged about it then and I’m blogging about…
Apple iPhone may be getting games soon – the proof is in the code!
It’s really just common sense. Apple’s got to release some official gaming applications for the iPhone. As nice as web-based gaming applications can be, nothing can beat the speed, integration, and convenience of a natively installed game application. But, until we get more solid proof that Apple is working to help iPhone users across the…
T-mobile USA reports strong Q2 for 2007
We love it when the little guy gets a boost. T-mobile USA, the 4th largest wireless carrier in the US, has just posted their Q2 2007 earnings and performance results – and it looks like they’re doing just fine.

Less than a day after Dusan brought us news that GigaOm met up with the CEO of Sling Media to demo a N95 working on the America 3G network, the official sales flyer leaks out. It is still a quadband phone, but the 3G is now dualband 850/1900 MHz instead of the European 2100 MHz.…
Pictures: Samsung SGH-C506 gets official
This device is your typical clamshell form factor weighing in at 76 grams and nearly 20 mm thick. It has a VGA camera, supports Java MDIP 2.0 and looks kind of sort of but not really ergonomic. Triband GSM on 850/1800/1900 MHz indicates you should start seeing this in America pretty soon. [Via: Mobile-Review]
Interview with Barbara Ballard, author of Designing the Mobile User Experience
Very interesting discussion about the mobile industry and creating applications for it. In my talks with mobile developers, none of them are happy. The industry is a mess right now, but then again that is why it is so damn fun to cover and to read other people’s opinion about it as well. What we…
Nokia Siemens networks is ready to rock and roll at 700 MHz
NSN preformed quite poorly according to Nokia’s results for 2Q of 2007. We didn’t talk about it here at IntoMobile, we were too excited by Nokia’s amazing ability to ship over 100 million devices, 1.5 million of those being the delightful N95. Today Nokia Siemens Networks has announced that they are 700 MHz ready with…
Lenovo P768 – Thinkpad phone
Somehow we all waited for this to happen. After all, if Sony uses its popular brands like Walkman, Cybershot and Bravia for Sony Ericsson handsets, why wouldn’t Lenovo use the famous Thinkpad brand for its phones. While there is no official “Thinkpad” logo, The Lenovo P768 clearly suggests it is heavily influenced by the Thinkpad…
