We just got a tip that the Samsung Elevate hinted at earlier this month is launching on Telus today for $199 month-to-month, or $49 on contract.

As hinted at earlier today, Verizon has announced an inexpensive little slider from Pantech called the Jest.

I’m a huge fan of Ducati Motorcycles and I also happen to like the iPhone 4 despite my feelings towards Steve Jobs right now. So when I saw this video, a commercial for the Ducati Multistrada filmed entirely with the iPhone 4, I absolutely had to share it. Apple’s new smartphone shoots in 720p HD,…
