Superphones: HTC and Nokia announce new smartphones

In the market for a high-end handset?  Hang on to that wallet and get ready to drool: HTC and Nokia have four new pieces of advanced kit ready to battle for your hard-earned hundreds. First up is the HTC S740, not to be confused with the Touch Pro.  The S740, which will debut in Europe next month, takes design cues from the Touch Diamond, but loses the touchscreen in favor of a dialing pad on the front and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard...

Does the N79 is a Ladies handset?

waoooo…. Its look amazing! The new N79 will come with the removable back-cover. Many websites; like gsmarena, phonedog, gsmprofile, phonearena show that the three or four colors of the back cover. But exactly how many colors we may get? Anyway, I think it’s a perfect N-Series Ladies handset because the women can change their phone color according to their dress color!

Another New Two Phones From N-Series!!!

Friends, I got information from the gsmarena, cnet, softpedia and gsmprofile and many other important websites that Nokia announced their two new phones called N85 and N79. It’s great news for the Nokia mobile users. I think these phones will be the successor of the previous N-Series models. But I don’t get any reliable information about their lunch date and possible price and even the country name when it will release first. Can anybody inform...

    Updates: BlackBerry Storm getting firmware updates

    BlackBerry Storm Updates

    The horribly over-hyped, gimmicky, disappointing, bug-plagued BlackBerry Storm should soon be getting its first dose of badly-needed firmware fixes, according to Greg over at MobileCrunch, and a host of other Internet reports.  I still think the Storm would be best off slimming down and losing the silly click-screen mechanism altogether, but if you're digging the SurePress action and just waiting until the lags, crashes, and other kinks get...

    Worth It?: Three die in Black Friday tragedies

    Black Friday Deaths

    Around these parts we spend a lot of time covering an industry that revolves around consumerism.  I make no bones about the fact that your interest in buying newer, faster, better, and shinier gadgetry goes a long way to making my gig here at PhoneDog possible.  Given that I think it'd be utterly hypocritical for me to write another article decrying America for its greedy, overly-materialistic ways.  I love technology and gadgets...

    Mini-review: Pantech Matrix

    Pros: 3G, full QWERTY,  total messaging package, good value, feels tough. Cons: GPS isn't free, it's pretty thick. I'm loving the selection of messaging devices this season: Propel, Gravity, Slate, Quickfire, Rant, and Matrix are a few off the top of my head, but I know there are more out there. If you're heavy on text and into the novelty of experimental form factors, the Matrix should be at the top of your list. The C740 is an updated...

    What I dislike about the G1

    I don't want to kill anyone's Black Friday shopping buzz, or discourage you from buying the G1 as a holiday gift. But I have dedicated a lot of posts to pointing out the benefits of this phone, and it's operating system, Android. I think it's time that I cover some negative aspects of the device. Most design problems become apparent over time, and may not be recognizable during an in-store test. They're not the kind of thing you want to be...

    Double up deals from AT&T

    AT&T has a "two for the price of one" sale going on the Pantech Matrix and Samsung Propel this Thanksgiving, and it will be in effect at least until Sunday. It's kind of a messy deal. You have to sign a contract and pay $129.99 for the first device, but you'll get a $50 rebate in the mail. Still, it's a cool way to get messaging devices into the hands of couples. A worker at a local AT&T kiosk told me last night that he was doing a...
