It shouldn’t be a shock that Samsung’s previous forays into luxury phones and “weird” designs hasn’t gone very well. The combination of odd design and high price won’t be a popular one in this economy, but it seems with the introduction of the Ego, Samsung has learned their lesson well.
Today the Samsung Ego GT-S9402 has [...]

Motorola really needs a hit, and this new phone may possibly be it. The American handset manufacturer has just announced its latest music phone, dubbed the MOTOROKR EM35 and according to the press write-ups it will offer an “exceptional audio experience for music and talk”. Sounds like many of the other phones coming out right now, but [...]

The Samsung Omnia is rumored to be a pretty hot phone, and is not available across much of the US yet. That deficit will be corrected on December 8, and as extra good news, Verizon Wireless has already decided to reduce its price from $249.99 retail to $199.99 (with a 2-year agreement).
Two factors at work here: the crummy economy pretty much worldwide [...]

Sony Ericsson and Motorola aren’t the only ones having issues with their upcoming products, and chopping models right before they ship. While Motorola cancelled the RAZR3, Sony Ericsson has axed Paris and BeiBei models that were coming soon, Nokia has also axed an unannounced model that could’ve been one of the most unique designs we’ve [...]

There have been many rumors floating about regarding a odd-looking Motorola phone, called the MOTO QA30 and coming as the first QWERTY slider built by Motorola. With sales of their top RAZR line sagging badly, they need to branch out a bit, needless to say.
Today, the phone became official, under the tag Motorola Hint [...]

However, BoyGeniusReport has come up with some live shots of the Windows Mobile 6.1 handset, with the [...]

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 [...]

Early yesterday it was reported on several sites that NTT DoCoMo and KT Freetel were working jointly on a new Android smartphone that would be released in 2009. 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
