Finally, Motorola is starting to realize that the glory days of the RAZR are fading like an aging, once great athlete and looks ready to try a fresh approach to things. Or maybe not THAT new; witness a possible prototype spotted in the wild, the Motorola Attila, which looks eerily similar to a certain Apple smartphone.

Verizon Wireless, the #2 mobile phone company in North America, has issued a press release (which is short and to the point, and with good reason) which announces that a personal cell phone account of Barack Obama, USA’s soon-to-be new President, has been accessed and looked at by several Verizon employees, without consent. Doesn’t speak much [...]

Since the iPhone was launched last year, all we’ve heard about was how great the iPhone is. For a while, it seemed as though the whole world was caught up in iPhone insanity, and it looked like the iPhone is going to be the big-time handset for everyone just like how the iPod is currently king of [...]

Then, later in the day, in a statement issued by Korea’s KTF, they stated that wasn’t true; the two wireless carriers actually were NOT working with each other on a [...]

If you’ve ever wondered (and who hasn’t?) what would happen if you took the Motorola ZN5, made it a slider rather than a candybar phone, and added 3G, you now have the answer: the Motorola VE66, announced today as coming soon.
It might be more useful to think of actual real life constructive things, but that’s for a [...]

We already know from published rumors and reports that LG wants to launch about 10 different smartphones in the 2009 calendar year. That’s a fair amount for any company, especially with phone sales dropping overall. We also know that the South Korean manufacturer further intends to concentrate more on the cheaper side of mobile phones by coming [...]

These days, messaging phones are pretty much everywhere, and “texting” has become a viable way of talking to someone (why you’d do that in many situations when you have a phone in your hand is beyond me, but anyway..). Mobile phone makers have even partnered with operators to engineer their own version of a messaging [...]

Samsung and LG may have been running out the best high-megapixel phones for a while now, but it seems somebody’s not happy with what they’re doing lately in camera arena. More to the point, Kodak is displeased at Samsung and LG’s business of focusing on various technical parts of their camera business, and has filed [...]

Which brings up an interesting question: How many 10 year olds really need their own cell phone that badly, aside from emergency concerns?
After announcing a couple of serious, big-feature phones like the recently featured Eternity, the South Korean handset manufacturer has now unveiled a phone that won’t attract too many adult users: the Samsung Tobi [...]

Companies promise things sometimes, and price and market conditions change. But then there’s occasions where you’re like, “Hey, hold on a sec…”, and the recent release of the Nokia 5800 is a case in point.
For those looking forward to the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic’s release date (which is supposed to be “some time in Q4 2008″, [...]

This just in to our ever-diligent news department: detailed specs on the upcoming Samsung Eternity. All based off of AT&T’s website listings, so these aren’t guesses; this is the real deal straight from the source.
3MP Camera: A bit disappointing given rumors of 5MP camera, but it has 3X zoom and it’s serviceable. Still better than [...]

Yes, AT&T internal documents leaked to several sites had this coming out in October, but now we’re getting reports that the release of the Samsung Eternity is imminent. There were rumors floating around that a big delay was in the making (or perhaps that the phone had been scrapped altogether), but those have been shot [...]

Samsung announced on several sites they were working on a 12MP camera phone for the future, but it’s Sony that has beat them to the punch and actually announced the world’s first 12 MP CMOS image sensor for handsets, and the technology should be in phones as soon as March 2009, according to Sony.
