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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
