CDON, a popular online retailer in Northern Europe, is taking preorders for an LG device that hasn’t been announced yet: the Optimus L3 E400. Now if you’re the type of person who loves high end bleeding edge superphones, then you might as well just stop reading. For the rest of you, here’s what the E400…
We’re close to running out of fingers and toes to count the numerous variants that Samsung has created around their wildly successful Galaxy S and Galaxy S II chassis. Over in the Philippines some folks spotted a device called the Galaxy S Advance, otherwise known as the GT-I9070. It has a 4 inch AMOLED screen,…
Every time I visit Facebook my browser asks me if it should go ahead and translate the website. That’s what happens when you’ve been living in a foreign country for over four and a half years and nearly everyone you know speaks English as a second, and in most cases third, language. During my time…
Nokia pulled a little trick when reporting their Q4 2011 financial results this afternoon. They said Lumia sales topped 1 million units “to date”. Now what does “to date” mean to you?

Last February, at Mobile World Congress 2011, Samsung announced the much loved and highly successful Galaxy S II. It landed on store shelves in Europe several months later in May, hit Asia in June and July, and America got the short end of the stick with a release in September by Sprint, in October by…
UK operator O2 woke up to a public relations disaster this morning. Apparently using their network to browse the web results in your phone number being transmitted to any website you happen to visit. Yes, you read that right. Take you iPhone out of your pocket, visit Joe Blow’s Awesome Mobile Blog, and Joe now…
LG has just announced that the Optimus LTE has sold more than 1 million units. At fist glance that sounds like an awesome achievement, but looking at the numbers closely reveals some incredibly lackluster sales. First, the device went on sale in October 2011, meaning it’s been out on the market for 3 months. That…
