Is the Philips 598 a Ladyphone? You Tell Us

Despite presumably being born from a female, gadget designers still haven’t quite nailed down what it takes to make a cellphone “for women.” This Philips 598, for example, is supposedly made for the ladies, but it’s hard to say for sure. Among its ladyfeatures, there’s the diary and calendar (men don’t need to keep track…

Cellphone Haters: A Design Concept from One of Your Own

Here’s a concept for a cellphone patterned after a matchbox, where the most often-used buttons are on the outside. The inside slides out just as a matchbox does, revealing its numeric keypad. Designed by self-professed cellphone hater Lv Zhongfang, this ultra-small design would fit well in a pocket but expands into a more practical size…

HTW Electronics S116 Solar Cellphone: Talk All Day Unless It’s Cloudy

After talking all night with your Bluetooth pillow phone, now you can talk all day with this HTW Electronics S116 solar cellphone. So far it’s just a vaporware presentation that rolled out at CeBIT last week, but if it runs out of battery power, it promises to give you 20 to 25 minutes more talkies…

perCushion Bluetooth Pillow Extends Cellphone to Bed, Ruins Your Life

Here’s the perfect tool for those all-night conversations, the perCushion ( yeah, we thought it was pincushion, too), a cotton velvet pillow with a Bluetooth transceiver inside. Just place your cellphone within 30 feet and you can engage in a little pillow talk with your significant other. Or, think of it this way: You could…

Samsung Ultra Music Phone: Colors Revealed, Probably Match Beyoncé’s Underwear

We all knew Beyoncé was fronting Samsung’s Ultra Phone, and we all guessed that the dual-screen cell would probably come in red, white, and black (we were so thankful they nixed it in pink), but did we have a clue that it would come in juicy orange and fabulous electric blue? Nope, we’ll freely admit…

Ericsson to Triple EDGE Speeds by 2009 – Too Little Too Late?

As all the major cellphone players in the US are heading toward widespread EV-DO Rev. A and HSDPA deployment, we have to wonder what Ericsson is doing speeding up EDGE. Sure, providing 1Mbps speeds by 2009 is nice, we guess, for current EDGE customers, but by then most customers will fall under the umbrella of…

Colored LG Chocolate Flips Head to Alltel

LG’s Chocolate flip has been on Verizon since late last year, but Alltel seems to be the first provider to get colored versions of these things. Available in blue, green, and puke, these AX8600s are going to be $50 after rebate and soul-binding contracts. The Alltell versions are the same as the one on Verizon,…

Survey Says iPhone Buzz Not as Loud as Previously Thought

Online cellphone LetsTalk has conducted a survey of current cellphone users about how interested they are on the iPhone. The results? Things don’t look so hot for the iPhone. In the survey, they asked current music phone users (we’re thinking Sony Ericsson Walkman phones and LG Chocolate owners) whether they wanted an iPhone, and 52%…

Samsung’s DivX-Playing F500 Caught On Video

Part of Samsung’s Ultra collection of phones, the F500 is the only mobile out there that can playback DivX movies (along with MP4s, WMV, and AVI). To store your, er, video collection the phone has 400MB of built-in storage along with a microSD card slot. The screen is somewhat small (2.4-inches), but for those boring…

It’s Time to Meet Your Maker, V710

At long last, I am getting rid of both my cursed V710 and my Verizon service. I got a new phone, so I no longer need the above-pictured POS, what with its lousy battery life, constant dropped calls, busted battery case, lack of T9 texting, crappy camera, pocket-bulging girth, and nickel-and-diming service plan. I’m moving…

NTT DoCoMo Prepping its Own Designer Handset

It’s too early to tell what camp NTT DoCoMo’s new cell phone will fall into (will it be absurdly expensive or just expensive), but one thing’s for sure, it’s not meant for plebes like us. Designed by Stefano Giovannoni (who’s worked with Fiat and Siemens) the new phone will be a 3G handset and will…
