User bestncheap over at the BBOS forums has posted some delightful pictures of the upcoming BlackBerry 9700, aka ‘Onyx‘, aka BlackBerry Bold II. Not too much else to say here, but I do encourage you to bask in the second coming of the Bold’s goodness. Note the ‘Bold’ branding on the back and the helpful…
XPERIA X3 Rachael Gets Handled
To date, we’ve only seen renderings of Sony Ericsson’s upcoming Android handset, the XPERIA X3 (code-named Rachael), but today we’re seeing some of the first hands-on pictures, blurry as they may be. The gallery shows the phone app, on-screen keyboard, locked, and home screen, so there’s not much to write home about, but it’s reassuring…
Getting Ready to Buy the Storm 2? You’ll Need a New Charging Pod With That…
I know many out there have been wondering about the Storm 2, especially current Storm users. They want to know if their current accessories will work with the new-and-improved version. And with good cause. Well, this morning my bud Kevin over at CB took a closer look at the Storm 2… More importantly, whether or…
Motorola CLIQ Available for Pre-Order October 19th?
It would certainly seem as though that’s the case, especially when you consider the image above nabbed by my bud David over at TMoNews. As you can clearly see, visual proof comes to us in print form, as ‘Pre-order starts on 10/19’ is printed on a promotional fold-out. Groovy. If you missed out on Will’s…
Rogers Branded BlackBerry Curve 8520 Spotted
Well looky here, what do we have? Shots of a Rogers branded BlackBerry Curve 8520? Yeppers, looks that way. Over the weekend some shots were leaked of the Curve 8520 in Rogers livery, hinting at the fact that the device may show up north of the border sooner rather than later. I should note that…
Buzzirk and Global Verge marketing “campaign” at Mobilize09
With GigaOm’s Mobilize09 completely sold out (thanks to Motorola’s CLIQ and MOTOBLUR unveiling), the Mission Bay Conference Center was packed with mobile geeks the likes of, well, us. What better place is there to promote your vague telecom business opportunity? Buzzirk and Global Verge, of Zer01 fame, were thinking the same thing. They (or at…
Video: We take the Motorola CLIQ and MOTOBLUR for a spin
Motorola today announced its first Android phone at Mobilize 2009 as the interestingly named Motorola CLIQ. The unveiling finally brought the Motorola Morrison out of the shadows and into the mainstream. Thankfully, the CLIQ looks more impressive in person than it ever did in the leaked Morrison images we’ve been seeing for the past couple…
Ballmer Lashes out at Employee for Shameful iPhone Use
For some reason I’m not surprised at all to hear about this one. Apparently, at a Microsoft gathering at Safeco Field in Seattle, things went down… It was all light-hearted so I hear, but still, it went down. When Steve Ballmer took the stage at Safeco, he noticed a member of the Windows group attempting…
Dell Mini 3 – iPhone’s brother from another mother?
A couple of years ago, any handset that looked like the Dell Mini 3 would have been derided as an iPhone clone or knockoff or rip(off). Today, we’re past all that iPhone look-a-like nonsense. The iPhone helped change the face of the smartphone market, and it makes sense that touchscreen slates with heavy app-emphasis look…
