Looks like Nokia is prepping its next productivity handset and the E73, or “Mode,” could hit T-Mobile USA as early as next month, according to screen shots obtained by Engadget. Not much is known about the E73 but it looks like it will retain a similar form factor to the E72. That’s a good thing…
LG Aloha makes its way through the FCC, going to AT&T
We initially thought the Aloha ended up being the new LG Ally, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. We’re now seeing another device passing through the FCC, which indeed may be the “real” Aloha this time. The kicker? The LG Aloha apparently supports AT&T’s 3G network. While the LG Ally may have…
Sharp Announces 3D HD Camera Module for Mobile Devices
How about a 3D HD camera in your next mobile device? Sound like something you’d want to take advantage of? Sounds sweet to me (although, in all honesty I’d need to see the price tag associated with the overall package before I bought). Sharp has just announced an industry-first. Something we’ll no doubt be seeing…

Well, this phone has gone from a couple of pictures, an ugly design, and rumors of where it will be landing to a nice looking device and a launch date, all in a couple of weeks. The same day we heard that the LG Aloha got a name change to the Ally, someone else found…
The mobile roundup – The HP buys Palm edition
We were in sunny Orlando for Research In Motion’s BlackBerry conference this week and thought its new handsets would be the big story of the week but then Hewlett-Packard dropped $1.2 billion to buy Palm. While that deal will have significant ramifications for years to come, there was also some hot hardware introduced and some…

Apple’s new patent for Near Field Communication (iTravel) will enable users to purchase e-tickets for certain events right from their device. While Apple is busy polishing up the capability for the iPhone, it looks like Android may have it out and ready before anyone else. Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range high-frequency wireless communication…
U.S. Cellular lands Windows Mobile-powered Samsung Exec
There’s some good news and bad news if you’re on U.S. Cellular: you can buy the handset with the best name I’ve heard in a while but it’s going to be decidedly mediocre. The Samsung Exec is powered by Windows Mobile 6.5 and it rocks a full QWERTY keyboard. As the name suggests, this is…
Review : Backflip or Backflop? Motorola Backflip for AT&T
The Motorola Backflip, AT&T’s first Android device is both interesting and confusing. Motorola’s social-networking centric custom user interface running atop Android 1.5 OS is a step forward with AT&T, which offers one other Android device at the moment. Why AT&T chose this particular device as their first Android device may never be known, but as…
