Here’s some fresh eye candy of the upcoming HTC T8290 that should be en route to Russian WiMAX provider Yota. This sucker clocks in at nearly 14 MBps – a droolworthy data speed for many of us. Paired up with a killer screen, this is going to be one hot tamale. Known specs include… 3.8″…
RIM Frankensteining Storm and Bold to make near-HD monster?
Rumour has it RIM is hard at work on not only second and third generation BlackBerry Storms (Wi-Fi, maybe?), but also a new device with a 5-megapixel camera,1 GB of memory and a “near-HD” quality screen. Are we talking “HTC Touch HD”-HD, or what? The BlackBerry Bold made a big jump in display quality, but…
BlackBerry Pearl Flip about to hit T-Mobile stores
If there were a sign that the T-Mobile BlackBerry 8220 were just about to hit the shelves, a hands-on video and dummy units in store would be it. The BlackBerry Pearl Flip has received a lukewarm reception at best among the BlackBerry faithful, but is in a good position to worm RIM’s way into the…
Samsung Propel coming to AT&T; Young texters rejoice!
Here’s an interesting device that’s heading towards AT&T. The so called Samsung Propel prides itself with the full QWERTY keyboard and (it seems) an integrated GPS that should sing along AT&T Navigation. Simply slide it down and instead of a numeric keypad, you’ll get a full-blown keyboard. Sounds like a texter’s dream, too bad it…
AT&T Samsung Eternity a867 caught in the wild
Samsung keeps releasing interesting devices. Just today we’ve spotted a new handset that looks pretty much like one of their other devices – the Instinct. The so called a867 model will probably be marketed as Samsung Eternity and will be launched next month on AT&T. From what we hear, users will be able to grab…
Nokia E71 shunted from Fido to Rogers
Those Canadians who were hoping Fido’s modest lineup might get a little sprucing up with the Nokia E71 may be horribly and irreparably disappointed. Word has it Rogers will be taking the reins of Nokia’s enterprise flagship device, much to the dismay of loyal Fido-users. It makes good business sense for a big name to…
iPhone 2.2 OS to feature Google Maps Street View and other goodies?
When it comes to “openness” there are few tech companies (if any) more secretive than Apple. With their iPhone developer NDA recently lifted, however, Apple might be turning a new leaf – “might” being the operative word here. For now, things are business as usual for the locked-down iPhone maker. The latest iPhone 2.2 OS…
LG KS500 smartphone in works?
Eagle-eyed Arne from TheUnwired spotted a new, still unannounced LG smartphone, KS500, at FCC’s and GCF’s websites. Why do they think it’s a smartphone? Well, LG’s so-far-used naming scheme suggests that “KS” prefix has been used exclusively for smartphones. However, there’s no information available which mobile OS the Korean giant will use. All we know…
CDMA BlackBerry Pearl Flip on the way?
In document mostly about the BlackBerry Storm’s market positioning, it turns out the most interesting thing is the hint of a CDMA BlackBerry Pearl Flip code-named Apex. Generally we’re used to waiting about a year for CDMA versions of BlackBerrys, but if they’re already talking about giving the 8220 a go-over for Verizon, maybe we’ll…
BlackBerry Storm user guide leaked
Hot on the heels of a marketing-spiel PowerPoint, we have a slightly more informative user guide for the upcoming BlackBerry Storm on Verizon. The features and specs are generally common knowledge at this point, and as expected the operating system will largely be the same to previous BlackBerry models. One of the first bits that…
