Gold Retro iPhone Handset Is Perfect for Gangsta Dorks, DePalma Movies

If you bought the white iPhone because the black was too passé and they didn’t have the leopard prints model available, then you can compensate for the lack of bad-enough taste by buying this gold retro handset. It’s just like any other retro handset available, but you can connect it to the stereo/microphone jack of…

Steve Ballmer Confirms Windows Mobile 6.5

Sure, Windows Mobile 7 is a year away, but while Steve Ballmer was busy talking smack about Android, he did manage to confirm that Windows Mobile 6.5, which Motorola leaked, is real. While he didn’t go into details, he hinted at an improved UI (one can only hope) and software flow. Neowin mentions that it’s…

Leaked: A Bunch of Upcoming US Samsung Phones

Phone Arena looks to have leaked a slew of upcoming Samsung phones, and they don’t look half bad. That budget-looking clamshell (Alltel, SCH-R600 Hue II) will feature removable covers and a 2MP camera, while the more premium-looking SGH-A777 is an AT&T slider with a modest 1.3MP camera. OK, now that we have those specs out…

Ruh-Roh: BlackBerry Storm Hit by Delays

Man, this is scarily familiar territory for RIM. Multiple reports say that BlackBerry Storm release date is slipping. Sources tell RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky that the Storm is still undergoing certification at Verizon, pushing its launch back to late this month—or even later. Notably, Verizon hasn’t announced a date yet, even though we’re…

Dealzmodo: BlackBerry Bold Free at Walmart With Rebates

This bizarro-land Walmart, home to great deals on legit, geekworthy gadgets, continues undercutting more upstanding merchants. The BlackBerry Bold—$199-$299 everywhere else—is free at Walmart with the correct voodoo combination of plans and rebates. They’re billing it as the “BlackBerry Bold unlimited” so you have to pick up at least a 1350 minute talk plan (single…

AT&T BlackBerry Bold Review: Best BlackBerry Yet

We reviewed the BlackBerry Bold months ago when it was available everywhere in the civilized world except for the US, because it looked like it would arrive here shortly afterward. It didn’t. Held up by the lack of proper immunization papers, it finally debuts tomorrow. We’ve been using an official AT&T-branded Bold for the last…

Verizon Forces $30 Minimum Data Plans on New Smartphones

Verizon’s data plans are about to get a lot more…aggressive. According to a leaked memo, starting Nov. 14, all new smartphones will require at least a $30 a month data plan—no more pay as you go, 1X block or 10MB/$25 data plans. People with those plans won’t be forced into the new scheme, but if…

CNN Fortune: Blackberry Storm as Low as $99 on Verizon?

Fortune’s Techland blog is reporting that with Vodafone’s recent announcement that they would fully subsidize the Blackberry Storm, Verizon might be considering similar low cost options to compete against the iPhone. While some inside sources claimed Verizon may go as far as to make the phone free with a two-year contract, other anonymous blabbermouths from…

G1 Teardown Reveals Dupe of Blackberry Trackball, Twin Vibrators

The guys over at TechOn weren’t content to merely handle the G1 Android phone—they wanted to play with its innards too. There was an immediate snag: two chassis screws wouldn’t undo, so they had to force the casing. Once inside though, the phone revealed itself to be the standard messy circuitry and wire-looms affair, with…

Blackberry Storm Pricing Leaks On Vodafone UK

Earlier we learned that it was Verizon’s requests that’ve partly crippled the Blackberry Storm, but we at least hope Verizon follows the lead of Vodafone UK and prices the thing reasonably. The Vodafone pricing scheme’s just out, and it’s seemingly good news: under a 12-month contract the phone costs the equivalent of $485 at its…

Moto Lets the Windows Mobile 6.5 Cat Out of the Bag

In today’s earnings call, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha made multiple references to Windows Mobile 6.5, explaining that a Moto handset running the software would be released in the second half of 2009. Jha was vague on specifics about WinMo 6.5, but according to PC Mag, he did go on record as saying “I think there…

BlackBerry Curve 8900 First Impressions (Kills the Original)

RIM excels at many things, but keeping secrets ain’t one of ’em, so we’d eyeballed the BlackBerry Curve 8900 (nee Javelin) quite a bit before this AT&T-branded one dropped in our laps. It’s a Bolder version of the current Curve that improves it in basically every way: Lighter, tighter, but more powerful—and it feels like…

BlackBerrys Get Free AT&T Wi-Fi Too

AT&T apparently realized it was elitist to only let the iPhone get free Wi-Fi at its hotspots, so they’re opening it up to BlackBerry handsets too. The Bold is getting it first, though all of their other Wi-Fi-havin’ BlackBerrys will pick it up later this year. So, um, what about Windows Mobile guys? Smells like…

Dreamoc 3D Display Turns Any Phone Into Hologram Machine

We don’t know the last time that a demo kiosk has actually caused us to look twice, but if a place like Best Buy or Fry’s were filled with Dreamoc 3D displays, we’d probably be more interested in the sales pitch than the product. Because not only can the system display 3D video—it can display…
