Fierce! It's the unique new LG Lotus for Sprint - a square-shaped clamshell with a full QWERTY board inside. GPS, Sprint TV & Music, 2MP Camera, HTML Browser, Mobile IM and Email ... Noah checks out this fashion-forward feature phone. Hey, look what just came! Thanks, Vanessa ;-) Here are some photos of the black LG Lotus for Sprint. The QWERTY board feels GREAT so far, as those bubbled chiclet-style keys make up for the relatively small size of the layout. Sprint's new One Click UI is sort of cool and helpful and sort of overdone; I'll have to play with it more, but I hope it winds up being handier more often than it gets in the way. And I'm... D'oh! It's a real, live Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. In a box! Out of a box! Happy Friday!See the full gallery on Fosfor.com(Via MobileCrunch) It's the ruggedized Samsung a837 "Rugby" for AT&T. It's the Crane of Death in downtown Berkeley, CA. Push to talk technology meets a giant crane. But will Noah have the guts to scale the crane to drop the phone? Find out here! Heads-up, phone phans! Nokia's planned an announcemnet for next Monday, October 14th - and has a viral campaign to hype things up in the meantime - and Motorola's announcing something new and "Clear" (as per their PR campaign) on Tuesday, October 14th. My bets? I have no idea what Nokia's gonna drop, but I bet MOTO unveils the Kraze smartphone for Verizon Wireless.Stay tuned for all of the juicy bits as we get them. And... Out of the box! It's the newest AT&T 3G phone, the pearly white Samsung a637. Low-end means high-tech these days, and this candybar packs 3G, support for XM Radio Mobile & AT&T Music/Video, and a 1.3 MP camera with video capture. Might this be a peek into our near-term future? I hope so. You're looking at the HTC T8290, a shiny, sleek, badass looking piece of kit from HTC destined for Russia's Yota network.
What's neat about this device, besides its obvious good looks, is that it packs both GSM and WiMax connectivity so you can get your voice and high-speed data on in style. There's a 3.8", 800 x 480 hi-res display for all of that content you'll be... First off, how cool is it that HTC dropped some significant cell phone news on the blogosphere via Twitter the other day? I'm not saying Twitter itself is/isn't cool, but rather that it's neat to see a tech company innovate when it comes to communicating with the media. Particularly so a tech company that uses the word "Innovation" in their marketing materials.
Second, my post about the possibility of the HTC Touch HD coming to... An Android Community user - and T-Mobile Store Manager in Florida,
apparently - who goes by kaziko has posted the first user
review of T-Mobile's G1 Android phone. The review - which takes the
form of an ongoing forum thread - is summarized nicely in this post if
you don't care to dive into the 11+ page thread. Of course, if you do
there's text galore to tide you over until those G1s start
shipping on the 22nd.
So what's kaziko... For the past few weeks I've been considering writing a post about how California's law against driving while holding a cell phone has done pretty much nothing to curb the habit - at least in the Oakland/Berkeley area where I live and work. Yesterday on my bike ride home from the office I figured out why I hadn't penned the post yet. The law has done something, I think. Sure, I still see at least three drivers with cellies in... While i'm not exactly sure what's going on with some of these code names (Behold? Eternal? Huh?), I am sure of this: Samsung Mobile's bustin' out all over with their Xmas-time lineup of new phones for US carriers. Here's a little summary for you, best as I can cobble it out of truth, rumors, and other stuff that's just across the line from pure fiction:
T919 "Behold" (T-Mobile): This one's all but a lock. TouchWiz UI... Okay, this is more like a "Paper DogFight" than a real dogfight since, you know, none of these phones are actually available yet. So what? Let's look at 'em on paper and see how they stack up so you can get a jump on arguing with your FaceBook Friends over which of these new phones is the best.Note that I'll include the US carrier for each phone in the competitor run-down. I'm well aware that the Storm is also available in... This week's Noah's Bark podcast features an interview with Chloe Sladden, VP of Special Project Programming at Current TV. Chloe and I talked about "Hack the Debate," a collaboration between Current and Twitter which allows viewers to post "tweets" - in this case, short commentaries on the debate - some of which are chosen to run in a constant stream on the bottom portion of Current's TV broadcasts of the debates.Last night I watched the... It's official! Verizon Wireless and BlackBerry have confirmed that the Storm will be available later this fall. The first BlackBerry touchscreen will make an exclusive debut in the U.S. with Verizon next month. Making changes to their OS, the BlackBerry Storm provides consumers with a full QWERTY keyboard in landscape mode and a SureType keyboard when in portrait. Find out more below in the official press release made... When I first heard that T-mobile was offering a VoIP service, frankly, I wondered what could cause them to do such a thing, and what would motivate a customer to buy it. I've never paid much attention to VoIP because I've gotten so used to being mobile, 100% of the time. I went to my local T-Mobile store to check it out, and saw that they were pushing it as the hot new product.
The service is $10 a month for unlimited calls, to anywhere in... T-MoNews has a bunch of new Samsung T919 photos up, and some newly leaked info on T-Mobile's first all-touch phone. November 10th with a price of $149 on contract sound good to ya? Thought so. Just to refresh your memory, word on the streets is this will be a "dumbphone" running Sammy's TouchWiz UI, and feature a 5MP camera with flash, giant touchscreen, and "Web2go" (whatever that is) along with myFaves support. I... The LG Rhythm is a solid music phone available in black or white that sports a familiar slider form factor combined with a cool touchscreen. Key features include a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash, MP3 player, FM transmitter, stereo Bluetooth, expandable memory card (microSD up to 8GB) and a 1" circular touchscreen UI.

Chloe Sladden, VP of Special Project Programming at Current TV, comes on the show to talk about "Hack the Debate." Current has teamed up with Twitter to broadcast a near-real-time river of tweets with each Presidential (and VP) debate this year. River of tweets? Huh? Learn about it on the show, and also catch up on the latest cell phone news. Plus: TWO Top 5 lists! D'oh! What’s Good: Stunning hardware design and elegant software user interface; front panel is subdued, intuitive and refined; display is bright and sharp with excellent contrast; sensitive touch-screen; amazing orientation and localized haptic feedback capabilities; secondary camera for video calls; easy internet connection sharing; glorious font rendition. What’s Not Good: Stylus is a virtual requirement for accessing certain parts of the user... During the live demo at the T-Mobile / HTC / Google Android launch event, Doug got a chance to take a closer look at some of the T-Mobile G1's hardware. The device comes with a 1GB SD card, USB port, and removable battery.
T-Mobile's G1 emulator
is online, and playing with it is just like messing around with the
not-yet-available HTC H1 Android phone. Except for the phone part.The
emulator is pretty cool, and honestly got me a little more jazzed to
try out a G1 in person. Don't get me wrong, I was jazzed already - but
the emulator made me forget about the phone's perceived hardware
shortcomings and instead focus on the Android user experience,... Has anyone out there upgraded their Samsung Instinct to the latest firmware rev.? I got a few reports that Sprint and Samsung have unleashed a new version that focuses on the Web browser. Sounds like there might just be a full screen option (mapped to the Voice Command button) as well as general speed and stability improvements.Got an Instinct? Upgraded it? Hit the Web and let us know how it is! Love the HTC Touch Diamond but tired of basic black? Or maybe you're
into Sprint's red version but wish you could get the GSM version with
the original "faceted" back plate done up in red? You may be in luck.
French retailer Phone and Phone has the Touch Diamond in seven new
colors on its website, and while there's nothing about worldwide
availability of the newly colored faceplates, if this is legit it would
stand to... Part 2 of Noah's review of the first CDMA Touch Diamond - Sprint's version. Is it a diamond or just a piece of cubic zirconia? Watch Part 2 to find out. Noah goes in-depth with Sprint's version of the HTC Touch Diamond. Is this the best Windows Mobile phone out there right now? Find out what kravvykrav thinks, and decide for yourself, in Part 1 of the review.
