There are no doubts Samsung will try to push its Omnia smartphone towards the U.S. shores. However, at present the i900 model’s radio support only 3G frequencies that are used in Europe and Asia. The right bands for the U.S. 3G are not there, hence the Korean giant will be (is already?) preparing special models…
Nokia 5800 Tube coming to UK on October 8th?
We do expect to see Nokia releasing its first touchscreen device running the latest version of S60 this year.

Nokia E71 coming to Fido in Canada?
Don’t know what should we think about this, but apparently Canadians will be able to grab the full QWERTY keyboard equipped Nokia E71 exclusively through Fido. Sure, there are options to grab the device unlocked, but if you want to instantly save on purchase and grab the E71 through mobile operator, you’ll have to sign-up…

You mean fashion-forward handsets like the LG Prada KE850 can’t get by on looks and designer label alone?

And, in keeping with this trend, it looks like LG is working on a successor…
T-Mobile Shadow II (2) release date and pricing details
T-Mobile had a consumer-hit on their hands with the consumer-friendly T-Mobile Shadow smartphone. Taking HTC’s wares and re-branding it as the T-Mobile Shadow was a good idea and it looks like T-Mobile is making good on their promise to continue on with the Shadow lineup of consumer-friendly smartphones. The T-Mobile Shadow II (2) has been…

Verizon has yet to push out a true competitor to the iconic iPhone and iPhone 3G from big-dog competitor AT&T. The CDMA carrier has been expected to be bringing the BlackBerry 9530 Storm, formerly known as the BlackBerry Thunder, on board as their iPhone-fighting touchscreen handset. And, as RIM’s first touchscreen BlackBerry handset, Verizon has…
Motorola Q11 set to succeed Q9?
It looks like Motorola is setting up its Motorola Q11 as the Windows Mobile 6.1-powered successor to the Motorola Q9. A product filing from the Bluetooth SIG describes with little detail a new Motorola handset bearing the Motorola Q11 moniker and apparently running Windows Mobile 6.1. The Bluetooth SIG is rarely good for more than…
