Added on 2007-10-15 04:36:00
by Tanya Palta

Sometimes rumors do come true (so to speak). Case in point the new LG Sprint Rumor which is very much a reality. Marketed as a “messaging device”, the phone comes equipped with a QWERTY slide keyboard, an MP3 music player and a 4 GB capacity microSD card slot. Of course like any self-respecting device these days, the phone includes a 1.3MP camera and Bluetooth.

HTC Touch 2 coming?
Added on 2007-08-07 15:01:00
by Randall Bennett

While it'd be sweet if it were real, these "leaked" renders of the HTC Touch 2 are likely false hope. The leaked specs don't disappoint either, with 3G, WiFi and FM radio, and top it off with a Helio Ocean-esque approach to sliders, and we're game.  It's a shame that it probably isn't real, but if HTC wants some free market research advice: Make this a reality.

iPhone On T-Mobile Germany
Added on 2007-07-22 10:10:00

Nothing like an “accidental  leak” to get the rumor mill churning. T-Mobile Germany (bless their heart) accidentally listed the ubiquitous iPhone on their website. Of course in typical corporate style the webpage was quickly removed but not before the cat was out of the bag.

Say hello to Pearl two?
Added on 2007-06-18 13:26:00
by Randall Bennett


With the Pearl seeing widespread success (including a place in my pocket) the newly leaked specs of the Pearl 2 look to improve upon what the Pearl started, and if true, improve well.  The rumored specs include many media centric features, like a 3.5mm headphone jack, A2DP support (for Stereo Bluetooth headphones,) support for WMA DRM (no word on PlaysForSure, but we'll assume) external MicroSD slot and support for streaming media.  Beyond the media highlights, the device is rumored to sport a 3.2 megapixel camera, improved flash and come in some new colors (like the pictured blue, which we think is a render.)  BGR reports RIM is planning a huge marketing campaign for the device, but something tells us that if they deliver on these rumored specs, we'll be sold (again) with or without marketing.  Keep in mind this is contrary from the specs we heard earlier, but we're fans of fixing the major shortcomings of a device before promising a major overhaul, so no biggie.

Rumored: BlackBerry Pearl 2?
Added on 2007-06-11 09:47:00
by Randall Bennett



The BlackBerry Pearl may have only six months under its belt, but Gizmodo has some details from an anonymous source on the phone's upcoming successor.  They say the phone will feature 3G in the form of EV-DO, likely indicating a CDMA release, but the best part? The source says RIM has finally shattered its thirst for fat devices, as the Pearl 2 is rumored to be a mere 8mm in depth, which is half the depth of a closed RAZR.  Add in a two megapixel camera and the rumored device sounds like a pretty nice upgrade to an already solid device.  The tipster says you can pick up the device in Q4 of 2007, but didn't leave a price nor any pics of the device.  We're hoping the rumor pans out, except we're a little worried about the slimmed down Pearl's slimmed down battery.  Hopefully the weight loss program won't nuke the devices battery life.

by Tanya Palta


The elusive Sony Ericsson P700i smartphone finally graces us with its presence and I think I just may skip the iPhone! The P700i runs on a Symbian OS and offers goodies like;  2.6" QVGA 240×320 display, 3.2 mpx camera with duplex LED flashlight, another VGA Shooter, 3G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity and of course a Memory Stick Duo slot. Looks like after the debacle of the M600i, Sony finally got it right!

Verizon To Offer Unlimited SMS Messaging?
Added on 2007-04-11 21:38:00
by Richard Baguley


The Boy Genius and Engadget Mobile are running a rumor that Verizon may be offering a package that includes unlimited SMS messaging. The report claims that, as of April 15th, Verizon will be offering a $20 extra for individual lines that will include unlimited SMS text messages, MMS picture messages and VCast web browsing. Family users will be able to subscribe to the new package for $100, and it will include 700 minutes of calling time. We’ve asked Verizon for a comment on this; we’ll let you know if they confirm or deny it.

Is This The Motorola LAZR?
Added on 2007-03-25 09:18:00
by Tanya Palta


This one makes an interesting story. No not the Blondie but the Motorola handset which she is sporting in the bath (of all the places)! Touted to be the Motorola LAZR (come on!), the handset is suppose to run on Linux. If true it also highlights Motorola's love affair with thin phones and its penchant for playing havoc with the English vocabulary.

Leaked Photo of New Sidekick ID
Added on 2007-03-21 11:34:00
by Richard Baguley


CrunchGear has a photo of what appears to be the rumored new Sidekick: they claim that the Sidekick ID will be launched in the summer and will sell for $149 with a 2-year contract. It looks to be smaller than the Sidekick 3, and will have a new menu system and a trackball instead of the D-pad present on the Sidekick 3, although it is not clear if this is a pre-production model or not.

What it won’t have is a number of features that the Sidekick 3 has, including Bluetooth, a camera, MicroSD slot and an MP3 player. Still, most users won’t miss these, and it looks like it might be an interesting device for those who are looking for a simple device to help keep in touch; CrunchGear claim it will include an IM client that can handle AIM, Yahoo! and MSN as well as the standard email client that has been present on all of the Sidekicks. Oh and it will work as a phone, too.
