So it turns out the rumors were true. Samsung's two-faced phone, the music-playing Upstage, got a Ferrari-red paint job this morning. More »

Unconfirmed: Red Sprint Samsung Upstage June 18

To go along with the Sprint Mogul, our tipster's also telling us that the Samsung Upstage—Sprint's dual-sided music phone—is coming out in a fiery red color on June 18. More »

Pandora Hits Sprint Phones and Sonos Remotes

Right at this moment, a bunch of music fans are sitting in rows at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's Wattis Theater, eagerly awaiting the fate of Pandora, the cult-hit semi-customizable Internet radio service. What are they about to hear? That Pandora is teaming up with Sprint and Sonos to get into mobile and household gadgets, and is also introducing a new online interface for the free service. Why should you care? Mobile Net radio has been in the non-existent to sucky range, and a lot of people enjoy Pandora in Web form. At least until Slacker's many promises are realized, this is the biggest step in mobilizing Net radio to date. More »

Sprint Lowers Upstage Price to $100

Despite getting quite a decent reception at CTIA07, garnering even a Frankenreview by us, the Sprint Samsung Upstage apparently isn't selling all that well. That's our guess as to why they've lowered the price down to $100 from $150 not even a month after its release. More »

Piggybacking on the UpStage phone we've oohed and ahhed over for the last couple of days (and months), Sprint is lowering the price of OTA music downloads from their 1.5 million track library to 99 cents. Thank. Christ. OTA music prices have been obscene for far too long. More »

Sprint's Samsung Upstage is Two-Face Without the Horrible Disfigurement

Just as we told you last night, the Samsung Ultra Music phone has been rebranded the "Upstage" and is taking its dual-sided music/calling to Sprint. The phone itself (see our grope and gallery of it from CES) has two faces, one with music controls and a larger screen and the back (front?) with a dialpad and a smaller display. More »

Samsung Ultra Music Phone Re-Branded "Upstage"

Sprint's dual-screen Ultra Music phone is launching at CTIA this week, but in addition to a new coat of paint, it will also be carrying a new, unfortunately lame moniker: "UpStage." Overwrought branding aside, I dug it quite a bit back at CES, and think it's one of the better music phones on the market, so it's definitely worth checking out when it hits Sprint stores. – Matt Buchanan More »

WSJ Pulp Bite: Mossberg Upchucks on the Samsung Upstage

While David Pogue needlessly defends his humorous style of gadget review to insignificant, humorless bloggers, Mossberg is sticking to the serious, oh-so-very serious business at hand. And that business is kicking the living optimism out of the innovative, but overwhelmingly imperfect Samsung Upstage. More »
