A huge congratulations to my favorite company in Northern Europe. Apparently the Taiwanese love your stuff, buying 600,000 units in June versus 580,000 in May. That boosted market share from 30% to 31.8%. Who is number 2 and 3? Motorola and Sony Ericsson with 17.3% and 17.2% of the market. [Via: Digitimes]
$10,000 for a mirror that can display text messages
Trust me, your friends will think you’re much cooler if you spent $10,000 on 10 Nokia E90 Communicators and gave one to each of them. This brilliant idea comes from Robert Stadler of the French design group Radi Designers. They call it the +336+ mirror, but no amount of marketing can make any person think…

Picture: Not your typical slider phone, the BenQ Siemens SL98
The BenqQ Siemens SL98 is not a typical slider. It is a candybar phone with a screen that sits inside the body. I’m not saying I don’t like it, I just have to play with it before passing final judgment. How robust is this in the long term? How well can the screen hold up…

Phone Arena takes the time to review the Sony Ericsson P1i in this 4 minute review, you should check out the textual review that accompanies it for more details. The device itself looks a little hcunky and I’m not too sure about the whole two letters on a rocker key configuration, but the specs are…
The Sony Ericsson T650 hasn’t even come out yet, but it has already been cloned in China
One of these days I need to visit the land where copyrights are laughed at. Things like this amaze me. With a 2.2 inch 176×220 display, 1500 mAh battery life, microSD support and partly dimensions of only 101x42x10 mm I bet you wouldn’t be able to tell this was a clone if you just happened…
