Blackberry Curve in sunset color will reportedly hit T-Mobile’s offering within a week. Specs wise, the device remains the same, differentiating itself only by its color. That by itself would be a reason enough for decent sales a year ago. However, with the Bold release around the corner, one could think will anyone actually pick…
Nokia and Google rebuff claims of Symbian, Android merger
The two largest open-source mobile platform initiatives are swirling up rumors that they’ll be joining forces to combine the Symbian and Android platforms spearheaded by Nokia and Google, respectively.

BlackBerry Bold 9000 gets launch dates
So, it’s the 25th day of July, and we’ve still not heard a peep regarding the Blackberry Bold 9000’s release. Previous reports indicating that July 25 was the date to look forward to for an official announcement of the BlackBerry Bold’s launch were obviously off the mark. Where does that leave BlackBerry fanatics chompin’ at…
Orange looking to pick up iPhone 3G in UK?
The iPhone 3G has already launched in the UK, simultaneously with dozens of other countries around the world, but that doesn’t mean the iPhone 3G rumors are going to stop anytime soon. The latest bit of hearsay to come out of the United Kingdom hints at O2’s iPhone exclusivity period being almost expired. That means…
Asus-made O2 Xda Zest Windows Mobile smartphone in works?
It seems Asus and O2 are onto something. Apparently, Global Certification Forum (GCF) has just approved the Asus GM5, codenamed “Christal,” which seems developed for the Telefonica-owned O2 mobile operator. The so called O2 Xda Zest will almost certainly run Windows Mobile (like all other Xda phones do), and will sport a tri-band GSM radio…
Nokia 2600 coming to AT&T?
The low-end Nokia 2600 is apparently coming to AT&T. Specs wise, there’s nothing too exciting, but this is Nokia we’re talking about and they do want to grab a serious chunk of market. North America is the only place where they’re far from the leading player, but it’s the phones like the 2600 model that…

Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5 coming to the T-Mobile US?
Motorola may have finally seen the light. After announcing that their upcoming flagship 5 megapixel cameraphone, the Motorola MOTOZINE ZN5, would be initially launched in Asia ahead of Moto’s home-turf (the good ‘ole USA), we’re hearing that Motorola could be preparing to launch their Kodak-branded Motorola ZN5 to American shores. Word on the street is…
iPhone to get wireless printing support?
Now, wouldn’t that be nice? There’s nothing more annoying than being almost completely digital and wireless in your daily life, only to have to resort to awkward file transfers in order to get that document off your mobile phone and printed to hard-copy. Of course, printing documents on paper kind of defeats the goal of…
T-Mobile Set to Offer Sony Ericsson TM506 in Black and White?
Not feeling the black-on-green look of the Sony Ericsson TM506 that popped up on the FCC’s website? No problem, we’re hearing that T-Mobile will be offering their mid/high-end 3G clamshell in a more subdued black-on-black and black-on-white color scheme. The alternate color offering should have the Sony Ericsson TM506 (codename: Bella) toting the same aGPS,…
