There’s just something about having a handset with dual SIM card slots that’s so cool. It lets you rock multiple (well, two, really) carriers in a single handset. If for some reason you use different carriers and find your pockets weighed down with two different handsets, Samsung’s got your back. The handset manufacturing giant’s dual…
Motorola VU30 spotted for Verizon
Right, nothing spectacular to see here, but it’s worth noting that Verizon is set to offer the Motorola VU30 in the near future. PhoneArena has scored a couple shots of the Motorola VU30, but all we know for now is that Moto’s upcoming offering will be sporting a flip/clamshell form-factor and rounded keys. Could Motorola…
Motorola’s first AWS RAZR – The Motorola MOTORZR V3s
Just how long can Motorola milk their RAZR brand? Well, they’re going on 4 years now – ever since the Motorola RAZR first revved-up the industry in 2004. We can’t blame them for trying to wring as much revenue out of the RAZR’s success, but the whole thing is starting to get a little tired…
ASUS P750 hacked to do VGA resolution
The ASUS P750 has been living a double life of sorts. I told you a little while ago that the Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional smartphone was moonlighting as a VGA-display super-hero in an effort to break-out from its daily ho-hum existence as a mild-mannered QVGA commoner. It was sort of sad that the ASUS P750 had…
Google LCB – new Google service for mobile searching sans typing
Tapping away at a mobile phone’s keypad can get to be a real bother – and in some cases, a real medical condition. So, it seems that Google has set out to improve the mobile-search experience on handsets. Dubbed “LCB,” Google has tipped their newest mobile service in their robots.txt file – a file that…
More on Dish Network’s mobile TV service
With the FCC’s 700Mhz spectrum auction done and over with, we’re all left waiting to see what the winning companies will do with their new spectrum holdings. It’s not hard to imagine what AT&T and Verizon Wireless will be doing with their frequency acquisition – as soon as the spectrum is vacated by TV broadcasts…
Cricket does unlimited EVDO data for less
The word of the month seems to be “unlimited,” and we’re loving it. With wireless carriers battling to match or beat their competitors’ pricing schedules with all-you-can-eat, flat-rate, unlimited calling/data plans, it’s the consumer that ultimately comes out on top. The latest wireless operator to adopt the “buffet-style” pricing scheme that’s rolling through the country…
Qantas in-flight email and SMS text messaging set to take off on domestic Australian flights
We’ve been following Qantas’ in-flight email and SMS text messaging trial for some time now. And, after successful testing during the extended trial period, Qantas has announced that the airline will be rolling out the in-flight messaging service to its fleet of domestic Boeing 767 and Airbus A330 flights.

Google releases APIs to work with iPhone
Ahh, Google and Apple. It’s nice to see these two tech innovators continuing to work together in harmony. Google has just released a set of APIs in their GData Objective-C Client Library that will allow iPhone developers to use Google APIs alongside Apple’s APIs in the iPhone SDK. Of course, all applications written in Objective-C…
Motorola Z9 pricing on AT&T
Color us surprised, but AT&T is apparently set to charge $249.99 for a Motorola Z9 – on 2-year contract, of course. We say the asking price is a bit much, but AT&T seems to feel that the pricing is right on point. The media-oriented slider from Motorola should be making an appearance at CTIA, which…
