Frankly, we’re getting a little tired of people lauding the iPhone as the greatest thing since lithium-ion batteries. While Google Gears gets top honors in ComputerWorld‘s Top 25 Most Innovative Products of 2007, Apple’s iPhone grabs the No. 2 spot in this list. While David Pogue gives the iPhone’s Visual Voicemail top-billing, ComputerWorld mentions that…
iPhone Visual Voicemail is 2007’s best feature

RoverPC P6 – the Windows Mobile 6.0 smartphone from Russia, with love
We don’t see many handsets coming out with native price-tags in Rubles, but here’s a little gem from RoverPC. The Windows Mobile 6.0 Professional-powered RoverPC P6 is fairly slim (15.1 mm, to be exact), pretty slick, and definitely likable. It’s not the greatest WinMo offering, but it ain’t that bad, either. As the Professional moniker…
Fix for Samsung BlackJack II flaw – no more keypad number shortcuts in menu
The GPS-toting (now unlockable) Samsung BlackJack II is surely one slick WinMo handset. If you’re the proud owner of a BlackJack II, we’re sure you’re enjoying all that the phone has to offer.

Apple would do well to bring back the cult/niche-classic PDA from years-past. The Apple Newton in modern form would be a great mobile computer indeed.

Pantech’s bringing a bit of romantic flair to its SKY lineup of mobile phones. While the Pantech SKY IM-S300 doesn’t tout the technological “whizz-bangery” of the Pantech SKY IM-R200, the SKY IM-S300 does turn up the notch on the fashion side of things.

O2 CEO confirms rampant iPhone sales in UK – gives Jobs a nod for incredible data revenue
Turns out that O2’s claims of the iPhone being the fastest selling device in the carrier’s history wasn’t all marketing-talk.

Despite reports of slow-sales, O2’s Matthew…
Using the iPhone to propose to your girlfriend – iPhone ad as marriage proposal
We’ve seen our share of iPhone-advertisement spoofs. Some are funny, some are just lame. But, this one really stands out.
