Adding to their popular line of Cyber-shot™ camera phones, Sony Ericsson announced the C510 as their most affordable to date. With not only a 3.2 megapixel camera, the C510 comes equipped with Sony Ericsson's new Smile Shutter™ technology.
Smile Shutter™ technology is able to "detect a person’s smile and immediately takes the photo". And that's not all; the C510 has numerous other forms...
With our friend and editor Joni from Let's Talk at the CES show, we expect some hands-on and in-depth coverage throughout the day. Until then, we wanted to keep you posted on some major press releases coming from your favorite cell phone manufacturers.
Announced by Nokia this morning, the E63 messaging smartphone device will be available for purchase as an unlocked phone from "various retail channels" including the NokiaUSA...
Windows Mobile fans, did you really think PhoneDog would forget you? Yes, MacWorld broke open this week, but there’s also the Consumer Electronics Show and its diversity of goodness. To get a jump on CES, Pharos, a location-based services provider, officially debuted the Pharos Traveler 137 smartphone on Tuesday. So it’s not exactly the sexiest phone, and slightly chunky at a half-inch wide, but it’s certainly not bad. It’s the brains, however,...
Noah gets his mitts all over the brand new Apple 17" MacBook Pro at MacWorld San Francisco. Check out that big, beautiful display and that non-removable battery.
I hope I didn't mislead you with that title. This is not the mythical "G2," as in T-Mobile's G1 successor. This is, however, the "G2" as in the second Google Android phone to hit the market. Kogan's Agora and Agora Pro run Android and are set to ship at the end of this month. Here's some rather poor footage of what looks to be a rather awesome phone in action. I found this clip, I didn't shoot it - the video comes from YouTube user...
Just a couple days ago, Noah told us about a rumored report posted at T-Mo news about the BB Curve 8900 heading to T-Mobile in February. Well, a full press release from T-Mobile confirms the rumors. T-Mobile "anticipates" that the thinnest full QWERTY BlackBerry will be available next month. Below you will find the complete press release with additional details about the device and much more.
Bellevue, Wash., and Waterloo,...

I should exercise. No, really — I need to back off from the keyboard, take the Twinkie out of my mouth and go for a run or something. I should, but I don’t. Working out has never given me big results, so I simply stopped. That I’m not 200 lbs by now is a factor of genetics (thanks, Mom and Dad!) and decent nutrition (minus the occasional junk food jones). Still, walking to the grocery store and getting lapped by the senior citizens in my hood is...
Before you drop the bills for the no-contract price, check out the reports from other users on the efficacy of Yellowsn0w. For those who don't know about Yellowsn0w, its the Dev-Team's un-locker for the iPhone 3G. I wrote about it (with video) a week or so ago, before the release. There have been some mixed results, but the crack looks successful overall, and improvements are being made. The blog post requesting user feedback has a misleading...

Feeling let down about the keynote address at MacWorld? Yeah, me too. Phil Schiller did a decent job, but he’s not the showman that Steve Jobs is. And the biggest phone-related news had to do with DRM-free tunes and 3G music downloads. (While a step in the right direction, it’s certainly not game-changing — after all, Amazon has had DRM-less tunes for ages). Through all this, however, it may be easy to overlook that there were a couple of kinda...
At MacWorld 2009 Apple announced a few new changes to iTunes: First, DRM-Free music. All of it within a few months. Second, three prices: $0.69, $0.99, and $1.29. Third, 3G downloads from the iTunes store direct to iPhone 3Gs. Noah brings you the scoop live from San Francisco.
