British electronics retailer PurelyGadgets has just picked up the Modu 1, an interesting little phone that can plug in with larger devices all Voltron-like to provide tailored functions. This is the first time the device has left its native Israel, and though it’s a pretty far-fetched idea for a mobile phone, you gotta admire its…
Today Telus announced that they’ll be carrying the HTC Desire, which amounts roughly to a Nexus One with the Sense UI slapped on top. Not that we didn’t see it coming, or anything. It’s no Droid X, but it’ll be the best Android phone we have up north. Those on AT&T who have been interested…
The Motorola Charm was announced last week to scattered, half-hearted applause, and today we’ve got word that it will be releasing on August 25.
