Officially announced today, the Samsung Anycall SPH-W6050 is the latest 5-megapixel cameraphone to be released for consumption in Korea/Asia. While its looks are a bit on the vanilla side, the specs are what make this phone, as aside from a 5MP auto-focus camera that’s pretty strong, it also features a built-in DMB TV tuner (a [...]

The team from Microsoft’s Windows Mobile crew perhaps realized with the evolution of the mobile platform, they needed to step up the pace a bit. Some had started to call this vaporware, which is something MS couldn’t afford to let happen.
But the release is on the horizon: they’ve announced the availability of emulators and documentation for Internet Explorer [...]

While the iPhone OS 2.1 software update is still settling in among a few users (and it made significant improvements admittedly, for many users), there’s a rumor flying around now that the next firmware version update might be coming a little quicker than most thought. Testing is going well, and according to an inside tester, the [...]

Nokia seems to enjoy creating unusual concept phones, and they are released for oogling all the time. It’s sort of a hobby for the company.
The latest one, created by Finnish designer Heikki Juvonen, might be the oddest looking of them all, but also has a chance of catching on and becoming a future design soon, based [...]

This is exactly what the mobile web browsing industry needs: a little price war. AT&T tends to be expensive (and doesn’t offer unlimited anything mobile internet wise as far as I know), and other carriers with unlimited plans tend to be expensive. Rumors have surfaced that Verizon may be introducing something to change the playing field [...]

It appears the LG KC550 5 mpx camera phone will soon get a new companion phone in its line, and proves that LG definitely has a new focus; style and slickness at a good price (or in this case, a semi-fair price considering the ”coolness” points). Considering most of LG’s recent line is coming out with gold-plating soon (no, i’m not [...]

A very big deal in the world of Wi-Fi (which in turn impacts phones that use it, like the iPhone) went down today: AT&T announced that it will buy Wayport, a managed Wi-Fi services provider for dozens of companies and hotels, for $275 million in cash. Honestly, it could be one of the best deals [...]

It’s about time a cell phone company got the memo: $300 ultra-fancy phones aren’t really “in” at the moment. Simple, nice looking and inexpensive is where it’s at.
LG has announced a new affordable clamshell phone, the LG KP152. Right now, the handset is only available on the LG Brazil website, but it’s said it will [...]

The launch of the G1 in the US was a much-hyped and celebrated occasion. The G1 won’t be the only Android phone within the next few months, but that isn’t stopping HTC from shipping its G1 to a number of Asian providers starting next year, probably in February or March of 2009.
HTC will be providing several [...]

For a company struggling with sales and street “cred” lately, a move like this won’t help much at all.
Motorola announced the Aura a few weeks ago, a $2,000 (yes, you read that correctly) handset with a cool, unique design. In all specs wise, there isn’t really anything too amazing about it except for its rather crazy price tag, [...]

For the most part, cameras in phones these days are simply throw-ins. Afterthoughts that take really mediocre pics. It is definitely not an afterthought with the Motorola ZINE ZN5, however.
Set to launch through T-Mobile today, this otherwise nondescript candybar-style phone features a 5 megapixel auto-focus Kodak camera with Xenon flash. If it wasn’t for the phone [...]

Yes folks, Verizon’s absorption of US wireless carrier Alltel has just been given the OK from the Department of Justice, and so Verizon execs can heave a sigh of relief for now. They are on their way to becoming the #1 (in terms of subscribers) wireless carrier in the US, and one of the largest in [...]

The Weather Channel has big plans in the mobile market apparently. For example, outside this writer’s door it’s been raining buckets all night and day, and he’s wondering when its going to stop, if ever. This app would sure come in handy right about now.
The Weather Channel has announced and released a dedicated Android application, one [...]

Juicy pics of the Blackberry Javelin 8900 have been leaking for some time now, and now more new pics have been released via various blogs and websites, which usually indicates a company gearing up for a release in the very near future (those sort of things aren’t usually accidents).
The latest gossip had the new device [...]

The mobile space has undergone radical changes since Garmin announced its exciting, ultra-slick nuvifone, which would combine its famous GPS functions together with a phone and other related smartphone features. It’s been more than a year, and its become a faded concept alongside the G1, iPhone and the Blackberry Storm. Sometimes it pays to actually work on projects and release them [...]
