Bringing iPhone in Britain will add more profits and publicity to any carrier which wins the right to carry the device in the country. Earlier this year, we’ve heard that Vodafone will most likely get the rights to sell Apple’s handset in Europe. Now, we have another contender – Orange. Apparently, executives from both carriers…

Boy Genius received a tip concerning Helio’s flagship device release date. Apparently, the Helio Ocean will be available starting from May 21st. Prior to that (5-8 day), the MVNO carrier will release the device to its partners. The Helio Ocean is probably one of the most powerful feature phones today. It boasts both a numeric…
7.1 Surround Sound – Microsoft Windows Vista Phone packs in 7+1 speakers!
The claims made by this phone are bordering April Fool’s joke-territory. With a claimed 7.1 surround sounds speaker system (that’s left, right, center, left surround, right surround, left rear, right rear positions, and a subwoofer – thrown in for good measure, we suppose), this thing takes the cake on craziest audio setup on a phone…
BlackBerry Curve? I mean BlackBerry 8300
The right name of the mobile device is one of the components of the successful launch. RIM knows that, and now they seem to want to change the name of their BlackBerry 8300 to BlackBerry Curve. Apparently, domain Blackberry8300.com redirected users to BlackberryCurve.com. When I tried it, I wasn’t getting anything… Somehow renaming the phone…
T-Mobile USA to carry Nokia N95?
File this under “let’s just hope it will happen.” Engadget writes that T-Mobile USA will get the Nokia’s flagship N95. The carrier’s UK division is already offering the best imaging device, and in that sense I don’t see why it wouldn’t “transfer” it overseas. Sounds like a plan, if you ask me. It is time…
Motorola Q 9h coming to 3 X-Series?
X-Series from 3 subscribers are benefiting from the carrier’s unlimited plans. Still, at the moment they can only select Symbian-based handsets, Nokia N73 or Sony Ericsson W950i, as their device of choice. However, it seems that 3 is working to add some Windows Mobile love to its premium offering. According to MoDaCo, Hutchison (owner of…
New York Times confirms the existence of GPhone prototype
Some rumors just don’t die easily. Lately, The New York Times added some fuel to the fire, with its mobile search-focused article titled “Big Money in Little Screens“, suggesting Google DOES work on its mobile phone. Apparently, “Google has gone so far as to build a prototype phone with its own software inside, according to…
First photos taken with the Apple iPhone
MacRumors has posted the first-ever picture images that have been taken with the Apple iPhone’s 2 megapixel camera! Apparently, some “clever” searching on Google – “taken with an Apple iPhone” – was all it took for MobileGuerilla to find these pics on Flickr. Now, we know that the picture has been automatically tagged based on…
Mysterious Nokia 3G Phone Appears on FCC
We found this interesting phone on the FCC website today. It’s clearly marked as a Nokia and equipped for WCDMA, but the particularly interesting thing is the FCC documentation outlining both 850 and 1900 Mhz frequencies for WCDMA use – making 3G possible in the US. Aside from those few details, and the outline of…
Apple iPhone – Great Battery Life, Slippery and Hard to Hold
By now, everyone and their grandma is expecting the Apple iPhone to launch on Cingular/AT&T with a 40 minute battery life. First, Dvorak starting talking smack on the iPhone. Then we get “reports” straight out of the component integrator, FoxConn, that the iPhone’s design falls short in terms of performance. But, would Apple really launch…
