The BlackBerry Storm. It feels like ages ago since we first broke news of this bad boy, but the release is finally right around the corner. Literally, it’s tomorrow! Need we say more? Heck yeah! We’ve got a pretty substantial review on the device and we’ve even taken the time to compare the Vodafone units [...]

In a move that has been very long in the making, Rogers has officially acknowledged that it will be carrying the Nokia E71 in the near future. With the N95 8GB being such a huge seller, Rogers is hoping that the E71 will prove to be popular not only with consumers who are seeking a [...]

Free on all contract-based tariffs over £35 a month, the Storm is reportedly flying off the shelves of High Street shops. If you were one [...]

Well, what do we have here? It seems as if it’s a never before seen Nokia handset! We don’t have a name to call it other than the internal codename, “Wahoo,” but what we can do is recap some of the specs of the device for you…
Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
Dual-band UMTS/HSDPA (850MHz/1900MHz)
There’s two displays, one internal and [...]

We actually weren’t even going to do an unboxing / first impressions post. Seen one HTC Touch Pro, seen ‘em all, right? Wrong, guys. In a rare example of AT&T not scumming down their devices (adding crapware, horrible themes, removing features, blocking stuff), we think they’ve actually made the device better! For starters, one of [...]
Thanks to our Best Buy ninjas, we’ve just got some screen shots showing that Sony Ericsson’s X1a (North American model) will definitely be hitting best buy early next month. The actual in stock date as of now is December 7th. The price? It will sell for a whopping $799.99. Hey, with Circuit City pretty much [...]

This is for real, kids. Information has been pouring in left, right, and center from AT&T and RIM ninjas and we can now say for sure that AT&T is planning to launch the Bold on October 27. We repeat, October 27! You know, unless something goes “wrong” with the Bold in the eyes of AT&T [...]

In a day and age where smartphones are king, there doesn’t seem to be much room or excitement for devices that lack the multi-tasking power of platforms such as WM 6.1, S60, and OS 4.6/4.7. So how is a dumbphone expected to get by? If Prada II by LG is anything of an indicator, it [...]

If you even had the slightest doubt about the G1’s popularity, here’s some news for you: T-Mobile initially ran out of pre-order stock completely and had to refill it. They’ve now hit 1.5 million in pre-order sales and, with the device being released in less than two weeks, are surely going to surpass any goals [...]
Hated the Pantech Duo but loved the form-factor? Well, AT&Tizzle is looking to grab you as a potential customer with the Pantech Matrix. It uses the same dual-slide mechanism as the Duo, but sadly runs Pantech’s run-of-the-mill OS. There are at least some decent features here. Things like dual-band UMTS/HSDPA, a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, [...]
Bitter and somewhat justified, Ulf Washbusch (we bet he never heard the end of it in high school) has decided to criticize Google Android and the phone on which it will be making its debut. You see, Ulf is now the ex-Google Mobile Product Manager who now works in MySpace’s mobile product operations. We think [...]

Well, folks, it’s been a long time coming and we all knew this day would come, but T-Mobile, Google, and HTC made it official: The G1 featuring Google Android is here! From first looks, it certainly doesn’t disappoint - Android is amazing! First, the phone itself is really neat with the slide-out screen revealing a [...]

Woot! The 3G roll out took damn long enough and it’s slowly making its way to a city near you, and now you can find out if your city has ample coverage on T-Mobile’s website. There’s a lot going on with T-Mobile these days with the HTC G1 coming out soon, and now 3G is [...]
