HTC's Patent Shows New Type of QWERTY Slider

HTC's QWERTY sliders like the Sprint Mogul or AT&T Tilt may work great as a text entry device, but dialing on the touchscreen or even the keyboard sucks a big one. Their latest patent shows a device that combines the texting convenience of a QWERTY keyboard but keeps a dialpad in as well, without having to have extra thickness like the Helio Ocean. More »

Nokia's Treo-like QWERTY N-Series Coming Late 2008?

If we had to add anything to Nokia's already feature rich N-series phones (the N95, for example) it would be a keyboard (or a touchscreen, but let's say keyboard here). Boy Genius has a spy shot of an upcoming N-series (not E-series) phone that has this full-sized QWERTY keyboard that's set for a 2nd half 2008 release. More »

Sprint LG Rumor Messaging Phone No Longer Just a Rumor

Sprint clearly didn't want Verizon enV users to have all the messaging fun: the LG Rumor looks about the same size as the latter-day enV, with a slideout QWERTY keypad. Features include 1.3 megapixel camera, (new?) Sprint POP3 e-mail client, Bluetooth, a MicroSD card slot and GPS with Sprint Navigation. The catch, if there is one, is that this isn't an EV-DO phone: it runs on the older 1XRTT voice-and-data network only. You can use it as a cellular modem, though it will cost you extra and will only deliver 1X speeds. And unlike the enV, this 0.7"-thick Rumor doesn't come in green: just black n' blue or white n' silver. It'll set you back $80 after 2-year agreement and $50 rebate. More »

Helio Ocean: Do You Use the Keyboard or Dialpad?

We've got a bet going here about the Helio Ocean. I say Lam's a weirdo because he uses the numbers on the QWERTY keyboard to dial, and Lam says I'm a weirdo because I use the dialpad (the numbers) to dial. Both of us use the quick-lookup contacts from the start screen. More »

Xbox Spring Update: Holy Hardware QWERTY and Fresh Firmware


Yo! That's not fan fiction rendering, that's straight from Microsoft: An honest to God QWERTY that slaps underneath your Xbox controller. Why do you need that?
Well, you might have heard some rumors about the Xbox Spring Update over the weekend. Those were true. So, the QWERTY isn't coming 'til Summer, but it'll make text input, and that Live messenger chat a lot more bearable than it would have been using just the onscreen keyboard. More »

Kinda Rumor: Xbox 360 QWERTY Micro Keyboard

No comment on the photos. But you know what's absurd? When journalists who hold embargoed info pretend to not know a leak when they see it, or post it as a rumor instead. Let's call the Emperor a fat naked bastard, and not lie to readers. Again, no comment on the hardware above. More »

No prices or availabillity as yet, but find out what else it's got after the jump. More »

HTC Vox Sliding Smartphone Spy Shot

Here's what we belive to be the first shot of the HTC Vox slide-out QWERTY smartphone. One suggestion to the tipster though: could you possibly make this any blurrier? We can still tell it's a phone. Maybe you should put this through photoshop and smudge it up a little bit so that we can't tell whether that's a screen or Bigfoot's ass. More »

Fastap On Major US Carrier Fall '07

Even though Fastap's been around for a while, no major carrier—don't kid yourself Alltel—has it. Digit Wireless tells us besides launching on a major Mexican carrier next week, a major US carrier has plans to deploy a Fastap phone this Fall. Of course, they wouldn't tell us which carrier, but the phone shown above is CDMA—and they've already got Alltel connections—so we're guessing Verizon or Sprint. More »

Featuring a removable QWERTY keyboard, the Athena has a 3.5-inch touchscreen QVGA display (they should have went VGA for a screen this size), 256MB ROM, 64MB RAM, 400MHz Samsung processor, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g, 2-megapixel camera, USB 1.1 and a SD expansion slot.
