With Samsung’s Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade for the Samsung SGH-i600 already out in the wild, it makes sense for the AT&T-branded BlackJack get the same OS refresh. Word on the street has it that the Samsung BlackJack will be getting some Windows Mobile 6.0 Standard love from AT&T. We’ve been expecting this upgrade to be…
Nokia copies Apple iPhone with pride
First Nokia courts the likes of rival Microsoft by licensing the software giant’s PlayReady DRM scheme and Windows Live applications suite for Nokia Symbian S60 devices.

Palm really wasn’t kidding when they said that the Windows Mobile 6.0 upgrade for their Palm Treo 750 would hit “other [Treo 750] customers” by September. It looks like Vodafone subscribers in the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands with a Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC Edition-powered Treo 750 can now look forward to getting “professional” with…
It’s not an LG Prada, it’s the Windows Mobile 6.0 LG KS20 “Dominator”
We love this little LG “Dominator.” Not only is it sleek and slim, it makes the LG KE850 Prada look like the stuffy, old guy in the room. It’s definitely one of the sexiest phones we’ve ever laid eyes on. And we’ve played the mobile phone field quite a bit. LG has announced its plans…

LG announces LG Shine Signature LC3600
If personalization is your thing, then engraving your very own signature on your most treasured possesions is the way to go. Alas, we can’t drill our “John Hancock” onto our dog’s backside (well, we can, but we’re sure little “Scruffy” wouldn’t like that too much). But, you can count on LG to expand their Black…
Sprint’s $10.5 million BlackBerry 8830 World Edition comes with a free private island
Short of having a last name befitting a rebel billionaire, we’re pretty sure most people will be opting for the slightly lesser-priced BlackBerry 8830 World Edition that doesn’t include private island real estate. Sprint’s offering their new BlackBerry 8830 World Edition for a reasonably priced $10.5 million. We say reasonable because it comes with a…
Nokia goes to the dark side with Microsoft applications on Nokia mobile phones – Windows Live suite tailored to Nokia handsets
The force is strong within Nokia, it must be used for good. We fear that the dark side of Microsoft may have tempted the Finnish mobile phone giant into playing with fire. Nokia has already gone into cahoots with Microsoft to license the PlayReady DRM scheme that we so frowned upon. And now they’re getting…

Google GPhone confirmed to be manufactured by HTC
Here we go again with the GPhone rumors and speculation. Yesterday’s confirmation rumor basically validated what we had expected from the Google Phone – a low-cost, ad-supported phone with built-in GPS, running on a Linux kernel. This time around, the rumor mill brings us another little tidbit about the mythical GPhone. Well, it’s more than…
