The always highly informed Boy Genius is reporting that Canadian Roger Wireless is preparing to launch the Moto’s Q9h very soon. Apparently, the promo materials have already started being distributed and the carrier is preparing “for a large marketing campaign pushing Windows Mobile devices.” This will reportedly also include the HTC Kaiser aka TyTN 2…
A herd of sheep made out of rotary phones – come again?
It’s exactly like it sounds – strange and somewhat disturbing. This herd of sheep is made from rotary phones and their curled-up telephone cords. The telephone cords sure do a good job at approximating the look of sheep hair (or is it wool?). For some reason, the picture makes us feel a bit squeamish. We…
Nokia N95-3 launch in 7-10 days – the US version of the Nokia N95 is almost here!
We can’t wait for the US-spec Nokia N95 (the Nokia N95-3) to finally hit Yankee shores with its support for US-friendly 3G frequencies.

HTC Kii – new HTC smartphone gets outed by Bluetooth SIG
Could HTC have another smartphone waiting in the wings? Well, if the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) is on the money (and we have no reason to really think otherwise), then HTC’s newest codename seems to be “Kii.” We love the codenames coming out of the Taiwanese manufacturer’s labs – just where do they get…
Nordic carriers in talks with Apple
Following Britain, Germany and France, Apple is now reportedly negotiating with Nordic carriers over the sale of iPhone. Apparently, two operators are involved: TeliaSoner which has a large network in Sweden and Finland, and Telenor which operates primarily in Norway, but also in some eastern European countries. As expected, both carriers are reporting increased interest…
Google might be considering bidding on UK wireless spectrum auction – keyword here is “might”
We love rumors and hearsay, they’re the frosting to our mobile-phone-cake. And this new rumor is about as speculative as frosting gets (wait, what?). It seems that Ofcom’s announcement that they will be auctioning off part of the UK’s 900Mhz wireless frequency spectrum has fired up the rumor mill, via The Guardian. Ofcom is planning…
Sony Ericsson W880i successor leaked photos
What you’ve just saw is a leaked photo of the still unannounced Sony Ericsson Walkman phone which will most probably supercede the popular W880i model. The device will feature 3.2 MP camera and will be quite thin, just like the W880i. In addition, the brown color of the phone makes it look very much like…
BT to acquire Sprint?
Even though this should be filed under “highly unlikely,” it’s interesting to note how investor and analysts are thinking that something needs to be changed inside the US’ number three carrier. Earlier in July, we’ve had similar rumor involving Korean SK Telecom as a potential acquirer of Sprint/Nextel, and now it’s British BT Group who…
