Samsung is all over this Windows Phone 7 game with its handsets already out in the wild to a select few developers and journalists.

Last week, we told you about the Motorola Droid 2 cases that were mistakenly pictured on the Best Buy website. It was indicative of the coming of the Android smartphone, but it also signified the possibility that Best Buy would be carrying the Droid 2 on launch. Today, images surfaced online of the actual cases…
If the Droid X didn’t really impress you, it might be worth checking out this leaked user guide for the Motorola Droid2, coming soon to Verizon.

Specs wise, there’s a 2.2-inch QVGA display, side-sliding QWERTY keyboard, 1.3-megapixel camera with “night vision” (not sure how that works), GPS,…
This is one of those components Samsung needs to engage developers to embrace the new platform (Bada) – books for developers. And that’s exactly what the Bada team is working on as we speak. The book will be called “An Introduction to bada: A Developer’s Guide” and the first chapter is already available as a…
HTC has released yet another update for its popular Windows Mobile smartphone – HD2. This time they’re adding support for recurring calendar appointments year on year.
