T-Mobile announced on Twitter that it will be holding an “Insomnia Sale” for the G2 and the Sidekick 4G. From the looks of things, it’s a pretty damn good sale if you can stay awake for it. You can pick up either device for free if you sign a new, two-year contract. So if you…
It’s been a few months since we’ve seen the release of the Windows Phone 7 platform and while total sales numbers are still a little vague (at least more than 2 million units since launch, we think), we still want to know how the handset makers are doing with this operating system. We don’t have…

Occasional gamer is the creator of the Windows Phone game, Impossible Shoota, a classic arcade-style flying shooter. Available in the Windows Marketplace, the game has been downloaded over 26,000. Analysis of the download statistics reveal that HTC, not Samsung as previously rumored, may occupy the top slot for Windows Phone handsets. Over 56% of the…
Microsoft claimed they were giving each employee a Windows Phone handset and it looks like the Redmond company is making good on its promise. Maarten Sonneveld of Microsoft Netherlands tweeted that the Samsung Omnia 7 is on its way to the Netherland employees.

Cloud gaming service provider GameString released a demo video yesterday showing popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft running on an Android-powered HTC Desire.
