According to All About Symbian the N76 has been withdrawn from Vodafone’s UK product offering due to mass product returns. No details were given, but Steve thinks it might have something to do with the hiss from the audio jack or the lag associated with the buttons that control music. Do you have a Nokia…
Pictures: LG Trax, will launch on AT&T by the end of this month
No specifications, just pictures. More are available from the folks over at Crunch Gear.
BlackBerry 8820 to cost $299 on AT&T and be available in August
The BlackBerry 8820 we wrote about earlier is actually coming out sooner than we expected. It might be on store shelves by the first week of August at only $299; contract of course. With UMA support, A2DP and microSDHC expansion up to 32GB it looks like RIM is starting to care about multimedia. Should the…
Amp’d mobile is finally dead, selling assets
The only successful MVNO in America is Helio and I’m honestly proud to have worked there. Sure they sell Samsung and Pantech based devices, but they also sell you the experience. I was always offered a free device, I never took one. Give up my (at the time) E61? Never! Amp’d failed because they didn’t…
Nokia N95 Firmware 12.0.013 Changelog leaked
It pains me to have to say “changelog leaked.” Why can’t Nokia just be honest and admit that they shipped a phone that wasn’t perfect from the start, but they’re trying very hard to correct that. Nokia is one of the few companies who even do firmware upgrades! If you tell someone to update to…
Symbian CEO Nigel Clifford talks growth in the Japanese market
It took them 3 years to sell the first 10 million Symbian based devices in Japan and only a year to sell the next batch of 10 million. That is how well Symbian is doing in Japan thanks to 60 devices being available, the SO704i being the most recent. Shipments grew 30% 1Q 2007 compared…
Motorola Marco is a Z3 with WiFi
Boy Genius has the exclusive on the WiFi powered Motorola Z3 look-a-like called Marco. Quadband GSM and a 2 megapixel camera doesn’t make this device stand out that much and whether or not it is UMA capable will make or break the device. Looks like they just wanted to make something with WiFi for the…
Mobile phones are making us forgetful
But does being forgetful imply turning into an idiot? I fully believe in the theory that your brain is like a hard drive and like all hard drives it has a limited capacity. Why are some memories like your first kiss, first night with a woman, first concert and the day you purchased a new…
Nokia CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo’s favorite website is Wikipedia
In an interview with the Financial Times last week OPK had a quite a few interesting things to say: He uses a Nokia N95 as his main device for making phone calls, navigating the globe, taking pictures and browsing the web; email is handled by the Nokia E90 Communicator. People who do not take responsibility…
Mozilla based browser for the Nokia Internet Tablet being developed
Some things I will never understand at Nokia. They push open source heavily, yet on a Linux based device they choose to go with a closed source browser built by Opera. Hopefully this maemo version of the rendering engine behind Firefox 3.0 will enable a better browsing experience than what the N800 currently offers. At…
