A Wi-Fi enabled GSM/EDGE BlackBerry Pearl - the 8120 - has been spotted on the FCC's site.  PhoneScoop has reported that the user manual included with the FCC filings mentions a UMA client, which - taken along with the lack of 3G support - could indicate that this newest Pearl will be a T-Mobile HotSpot@Home device.  The 8120 features GPS, a 3.5mm stereo headset jack, stereo Bluetooth, and a new mail client.

AT&T has launched the Samsung SLM, a slim flip phone that is the first device to feature AT&T's new Napster Mobile service for over the air purchase and download of music.  The SLM features a brushed metal finish, 2 MP camera with video capture and support for AT&T Video Share, and a microSD memory card slot.  Additionally, the SLM will be the first handset to ship with AT&T's mobile banking application pre-loaded.  SLM will be available on November 23.

Nokia N810 Silver in-depth review - Introduction

When Nokia launched their N810 Internet Tablet at the Web 2.0 Conference in San Francisco last Fall, they made no bones about its intended audience.  Nokia execs laid out a five step plan for the N-Series tablets that began with launching the N770 in late 2005 to the geekiest of early adopters and will eventually progress to a fully mainstream, consumer-friendly mobile Internet device a few years down the line from now.  N810 is a step...

Nokia N810 Silver in-depth review - Design & Features

N810 is fashioned primarily from metal, finished in a smooth two-tone grey color scheme, and is a sharp looking piece of hardware an understated, luxurious sort of way.  By way of comparison, the device measures up at 72 x 128 x 14 mm and 190g, or slightly larger and considerably heavier than an AT&T Tilt, which is just about the bulkiest smartphone currently offered by a US carrier.  But N810 has a 4-plus inch screen and...

Nokia N810 Silver in-depth review - Usability & Performance

I think it’s worth it to look at usability and performance on the N810 from those two different perspectives I mentioned earlier - gadget hound early adopter and mainstream consumer.  The hardware side of things is actually the same for both groups: the tablet overall is slick and nice, but the QWERTY board and touchscreen could still benefit from a little work.  The touchscreen’s big enough that I wanted to work it with a fingertip,...

Nokia N810 Silver in-depth review - Conclusion

Nokia’s N810 Internet Tablet is an interesting device that’s more about the future than the present - though it’s quite impressive in its current form.  Looking strictly at its hardware, N810 offers a Linux-based computer with wireless connectivity in an amazingly small, attractive package.  Though its responsiveness could stand a bit of tweaking, the combination of a full-WVGA touch display and hardware QWERTY keyboard offer access to...
