Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
It was quietly a pretty big week in mobile, as we gave our take on the Verizon Motorola Droid X, Apple admitted its iPhone units have had reception problems from the beginning and Microsoft killed off its ill-fated Kin lineup. It’s Friday on IntoMobile, so let’s jump into the biggest stories of the week in…
Say what? Most of us didn’t even know it was possible, but it looks like the Samsung Galaxy S has video-out capabilities right from the 3.5 mm headphone jack. Craaazy. The most common way we’ve seen video-out possible comes from either a USB port, or a built-in HDMI port, but the headphone jack? Wow. The…
We’re seeing the end of an era, folks, as T-Mobile will stop selling its iconic Sidekick lineup beginning July 2. This doesn’t necessarily spell the end of Paris Hilton’s old favorite phone, but it doesn’t bode well for the lineup. “As T-Mobile looks to further innovate and raise the bar for the next iteration of…
By now, you know that Microsoft has given up on its ill-fated Kin phones to focus on Windows Phone 7. I think this is the absolute right move for the company and that the Kin phones were targeting a non-existent market but these social-network centric phones weren’t all bad. In my review of the Kin…
Last night, members of the media were invited to the Skylight West in New York City to be properly introduced to the Samsung Galaxy S, or rather, the US variants of the device. Not only did we have a chance to see wireless industry big wigs on the keynote stage, but we also had a…

Yikes. After pushing out an over-the-air update for the Android-powered that seemed to brick some EVO 4G units, Sprint and HTC are momentarily halting the updated firmware. You lovely readers tipped us off to this, as we heard a more than usual amount of complaints after this morning’s story. We reached out to Sprint for…
It’s not much of a surprise, but Samsung’s Android-powered Vibrant will be coming to T-Mobile July 21 for $199 with a new, two-year contract. The handset is a Galaxy S phone, so it will sport a 1 GHz processor, a 4-inch Super AMOLED display and a 5-megapixel camera. The handset will rock Android 2.1 but…
Earlier this week, I was invited by Ford to check out some of their new upcoming vehicles, as well as take a sneak-peek at the new SYNC AppLink. Ford debuted this technology earlier this year at CES, but now they’ve got a snappy new name for it and trusted developers have had 5 months of…
If you love your Apple iPhone 4 more than your own family members and friends, be warned: the following video is graphic! In typical Blendtec fashion, the popular blender maker put the new iPhone through the ultimate (and ultimately unsurvivable) stress test – for the blender, that is. In a word, yes. The iPhone 4…
