We had heard that the upcoming HTC Android phone, the Nexus One (A.K.A. Passion), would be available January 5, but apparently that won’t be a full-blown retail presence. In fact, only those specifically invited will be able to pick one up. We’re not sure how these invites will be doled out, but developer partners…
New HTC HD2 ROM Bears T-Mobile Logo
As if you needed any more confirmation that T-Mobile is getting the HTC HD2, a new ROM (version 2.03) primarily featuring tabbed document browsing is happily bearing T-Mobile’s “stick together” tagline. The Italian source leads us to believe this is the UK version, but not all hope is lost for T-Mo in America. If you…
Motorola Opus One Spec’d
Motorola’s upcoming iDEN Android handset called the Opus One got a thugged-up video review last week, but little was mentioned in terms of specifications. Luckily, this list has bubbled up, giving us a good idea of what to expect. The Opus One isn’t too shabby, and as the first to bring push to talk to…
Verizon Getting Palm Pre Plus?
Last week, we got wind that Verizon was conducting some webOS training, but no word on which handset (the Pixi or the Pre) they were using. As it turns out, neither. Internal inventory is showing a new model called the Palm Pre Plus, with absolutely zero indication of what that “Plus” exactly means (bigger camera?…
Motorola Backflip/Enzo/Motus/Whatever Pictured with BLUR
Over the last few months, we’ve been hearing a lot about an Android device code-named the Motorola Motus, which was to feature a reverse flip keyboard and a touchpad on the back (not unlike that Synaptics concept phone). Some clearer snaps have bubbled up, along with confirmation of the specs: Android 1.5 256 MB memory,…
WWDC Happening June 28 – July 2, Cue New iPhone Rumours
Some poking around the calendar of Apple’s usual Worldwide Developer Conference venue, the Moscone Center, has folks guessing that the big iPhone and Mac event of the year is going down between June 28 and July 2. You might remember that the iPhone 3GS was announced at the last one, and the iPhone 3G before…
LG Cookie 2 is the Muffin KP900?
It seems LG is working on the successor of its highly popular Cookie handset. We don’t have any official information at the moment, only rumors. Apparently, the next-get Cookie may be known as the Muffin KP900 (the original Cookie is KP500). We’ve also heard some of the specs involved: 5-megapixel camera, 3-inch capacitive touchscreen (with…
BlackBerry 9650 (Essex) Also Coming to Verizon
If anyone on a Verizon contract was glowing with envy for the BlackBerry Tour update coming to Sprint, you’ll be happy to see this picture of the 9650 Essex with Verizon branding. It seems a little more credible since the device itself has the VZ logo, and not just a wallpaper on the home screen…
Kindle App “Coming Soon” to BlackBerry
The big book readers in the house should take note that Amazon’s Kindle page is listing an unannounced BlackBerry application as “coming soon”. An iPhone app has been available since the Spring, and since the BlackBerry version is listed alongside it, we can assume some similar functionality, like shop for books in Amazon’s impressive library,…
Verizon Staffers Start Palm/webOS Online Training Sessions
We’ve heard for some time now that Verizon could indeed be picking up the Palm Pre in 2010. The rumors were kind of flying around a bit this past fall, but since then things have been kind of quiet… At least, until now. First off, a few days ago the FCC approved the CDMA version…
