Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
This morning I suggested that perhaps very lukewarm BlackBerry Torch sales might be bolstered by lowering the price. And what do you know–Amazon is selling the “best BlackBerry ever” for half of what you’d nab it for from AT&T. Of course, for the nice low price of $99.99 you’ll still have to sign an agreement…
Sprint football fans must have had their hearts crushed when opening NFL Mobile one day only to find that it had been replaced by something less cool–Sprint Football Live. That’s right, all professional football games were stripped from those fans when Verizon announced its deal with the NFL. Now you can still get live updates…
We’ve seen casing for the BlackBerry Torch 9800 in red and white (in addition to the stock black we see on AT&T), and now we know where one of them is headed. Rumour has it Rogers will have an exclusive on the white Torch 9800, following behind their other white BlackBerrys. I’ve checked with one…
The Verizon iPhone rumor mill keeps churning, but as we move along it seems like more evidence continues to pile on, too. It’s no surprise to anyone that many Verizon customers are wanting the Apple smartphone. Hell, even AT&T iPhone customers want to jump ship for greener pastures: up to 34% of current iPhone owners…
A low-end messaging phone was quietly announced on Orange UK recently. The LG C300 Town is a candybar with a full QWERTY keyboard, 2.4″ QVGA display, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, and comes with social networking and instant messaging apps. Most of the attention LG gets these days are surrounding their Android endeavors, but many…

The BlackBerry Torch should have been that miracle, but alas it has failed to make waves and initial sales seem to indicate slow-but-maybe-not-steady sales. According to analysts at Goldman Sachs, who called the sales “underwhelming,”…
The DROID 2 has been in the hands of the public for less than a week and reports of antenna reception problems and poor battery life are surfacing from users and reviewers alike. The first report appeared last week over at Mobile Crunch in a post that surveyed the early Droid 2 reviews. More than one…
When it comes to the latest in mobile tech, the HTC Hero is admittedly old news. HTC has released a whackload of devices (quite awesome devices, I might add) since the Hero’s debut, but that said… for those that still run a Hero on a daily basis, running the latest OS on the device is…
Verizon is showing no signs of slowing down when it comes to the its Android efforts, and it looks like its next World Phone might be a Motorola Droid. According to a number of leaked images, a new version of the Droid, what’s rumored to be called the Motoroal Droid Pro, will be a global…
UberTwitter is one of the few Twitter clients for BlackBerry that can give the official app a run for its money, and recently had a big update. Beta 8, release 2 (which follows up on release 1 from a few weeks ago) has a bunch of new features, but the ones that really catch my…
