Omniphone really made a splash in the mobile music subcription-pool with their Music Station release last week! So much so that Carphone Warehouse (one of the largest mobile phone vendors in the world) has hit up Omniphone to talk business about Music Station. The new service went live weeks before the Apple iPhone launch, and…
Sidekick users to get a MySpace app
The new Sidekick models (i.e. Sidekick Slide) are coming and T-Mobile is looking forward to shpp them with more pre-install software. Apparently, the carrier is working on the MySpace application for Sidekick that would allow users to edit their profiles, upload pictures directly from their device, read/send messages, post comments, and do much more. The…
Sony Ericsson W2i Concept Phone
SEFanatics posted up this Sony Ericsson W2i concept. It’s a slim, 3G take on the venerable Walkman Phone line of mobile phones from Sony Ericsson. We gotta say that we like the full-face “multi touchscreen” – very iPhone-esque. The concept packs in 6GB of storage, 3.2 megapixel shooter, WiFi, GPS, and Walkman 4.0 touchscreen edition.…
Sidekick Slide coming in September?
Just as we posted about the new Sidekicks coming to T-Mobile, the new details appeared. Apparently, one of the upcoming devices will have a slider, not a rotating “sidekick” mechanism for opening up the keyboard. One wonders why it’s still called Sidekick?
Sidekick LE, LX coming from T-Mobile?
Not a Sidekick fan – look away. On the other hand if you are a fan of Sidekick devices, you’ll be pleased to know that T-Mobile and Sharp (a Sidekick manufacturer) are cooking something. That being said, it’s likely that the carrier will introduce Sidekick LE and Sidekick LX somewhere in the future. Not much…
Rumor: Nokia to relaunch their web portal within the next week
While I was in Chicago for the Evening with S60 Party, the question of “What can Nokia do to improve its USA presence?” was asked several times. People kept bringing up the fact that NokiaUSA.com sucks, not just a little, it sucks hard. A little birdie just told me that a relaunch is due within…
Sony Ericsson W910, W960, and K850 to be announced later today?
While I’m writing this, Sony Ericsson’s global announcement is only 4 hours away. Thanks to Engadget, we know that the Swedish-Japanese company will announce three devices from the higher end of the spectrum. Among them, two phones will wear a Walkman badge – W910 and W960, while the third one, K850, will be a Cybershot…
Sprint looking for WiMAX investors
Reuters is reporting that Sprint is entertaining the possibility of joining forces with cellphone pioneering firm Clearwire Corp. to finance the build-out of the much-touted WiMAX network. Sprint has already earmarked over $3 billion for its WiMAX infrastructure and it may be hurting for some cash after that expensive buyout. It’s understandable that investors might…
Independence Day is coming; Get ready for Sprint’s “wireless evolution”
Hmm. Sprint is cooking up something interesting. Apparently, the carrier is planning to announce something uber-cool on the Independence Day. The teaser site is quazi-live (accessible only via Google cache) and suggests something with music, messaging, TV, search and navigation. If we’re in the Q2 2008, I would bet on WiMAX. Since it’s not, my…
CDMA version of Motorola Q9h may be called the Motorola ‘Nelson’
It looks like Motorola has a CDMA version of their Moto Q9h in the works. Word on the street has it that the new Motorola Q9h – successor to the original Motorola Q – will be coming to a CDMA network near you. The Motorola Q9h was codenamed the “Norman,” so it’s just fitting that…
