iPhone 3G Unlocked with SIM Card Adapter

Just four days after its launch, the iPhone 3G has been unlocked for the first time exactly like the original iPhone: using a special card that piggybacks to your SIM card, fooling the phone into thinking it's using an official carrier. While this is not the software unlock being developed by the usual suspects, the video clearly shows that it works fine. More »

Verizon's LG Dare Full Review (Verdict: Best iClone Yet)

"Dare to be different," the saying goes, but the LG Dare is really Verizon Wireless's attempt to fit in, to offer a phone that's more like the AT&T LG Vu and Sprint Samsung Instinct, not to mention Apple's similarly priced iPhone 3G. The truth is, the Dare may not be as glamorous or well-priced as the Instinct, but it has a better browser, a motion sensor and some cool software tricks that make it a fine phone for people who choose to remain in Verizon's walled garden. And it puts Verizon's previous iClone attempts, the LG Voyager and the Samsung Glyde, to lowdown dirty shame. More »

iPhone Clone Battlemodo: Which One Is the iPhoniest?

Okay, so the iPhone 3G is going to be the second coming of Jesus in pocketable form, but maybe you're a rebel and don't wanna look exactly like the estimated 27 million other tools expected to be running around with an iPhone by 2009. You wanna be different. (Or maybe you can't seem to break out of that damn Sprint contract.) Still, you do want a touchscreen, 3G data, a music player and all that jazz. Is there an iPhone clone worth buying from your carrier? Relax, we've done the work for you and broken down the top three nationwide carriers' best iPhone wannabes into a single chart. More »

Video: AT&T's Mobile TV Service In Action

The new LG VU is the first handset to support AT&T's new Mobile TV offering and we got a quick video of the service in action at CTIA. The best part is that Mobile TV on the VU is all run from the touchscreen; from the channel up/down to the on-screen guide. The video quality looks pretty good as well. But you really have to pay attention where and how hard you're pushing on the screen because it will not recognize the button action if you don't press down just right. But all things considered, the interface is quick, snappy and well presented. [Giz@CTIA]

AT&T Mobility CEO: $299 Vu, $15 Mobile TV and Sprint Sucks

Even though AT&T they played coy on pricing for the LG Vu with its original announcement, AT&T Mobility's CEO just revealed that the LG Vu is going to run $299—same as Sprint's Instinct. Its mobile TV service which impressed us with its slick interface and high quality streams, is gonna run $15 a month. More »

Hands-on With AT&T's LG VU Multimedia Phone (AT&T Mobile TV is No Joke)

The AT&T LG Vu is the latest multimedia touchscreen phone on the floor at CTIA, offering haptic touchscreen feedback, Mobile TV and a pretty intuitive user interface. While the presentation of the hardware and software is beautiful, and the AT&T's MediaFlo-powered Mobile TV service is pretty slick, the lack of power in the web browser and sub-menu interfaces don't quite hold up to similar options (cough...iPHONE...cough).

LG Vu for AT&T Finally Gets All Official

LG's touchscreen Vu hasn't exactly been a well-kept secret by any means. But now it officially exists for AT&T, in two flavors: one with mobile TV support, one without. It's got HSDPA 3G goodness and a full HTML web browser, which is hopefully snappier than the last time we saw it. As is popular these days, the touchscreen has haptic feedback, plus three navigation keys. We'll be putting this head-to-head against any other iPhone-throne pretenders we find at CTIA, if there are any. Vu will be out in May, but perhaps as some kind of April Fool's Joke, AT&T is not revealing prices, making this almost, but not quite, a complete non-announcement.

AT&T to Launch Mobile TV Service, LG Vu Will Be First Phone to Support

RCR Wireless News claims AT&T will launch their own mobile TV service as early as February 5, and the 3G, touchscreen LG Vu (better known as the LG Prada) will be the first phone to support the service. The service will use the same Qualcomm MediaFLO backbone as the Verizon V Cast TV video service, which currently offers eight live broadcast channels. However, the AT&T service will have two exclusive channels (Verizon currently has no exclusives). The Vu is expected to sell for $200. [RCR Wireless via Crave]

Estari's Dual-Screen Laptop Nearing Launch

It's not the same dual-screen laptop we showed you before, but for $4,350 you can now pre-order the closest thing to it—Estari's 2-VU notebook. The 2-VU comes with two 15-inch XGA touch-screens that you can use for extreme spreadsheeting, Web-browsing, or anything else you throw its way. I think the system's price is over the top especially since it's only running an Intel dual-core CPU and you can buy two 15-inch laptops for that kinda money, but if you've ever dreamed of owning a giant Nintendo DS, here's your chance. – Louis Ramirez More »
