We talked just a few hours back about the price of the BlackBerry PlayBook and the fact that it was available for pre-order starting today. But one little detail still eluded us and that was the release date of the PlayBook. Just hours later RIM has decided to put in the last piece of the puzzle as they have announced that the PlayBook will be available in stores starting April 19th in North America. Those waiting for the PlayBook in the US and Canada now have a day to pencil down in their calendars and in case you are one of those who has already made up their mind on the

Yes, we are scratching our heads as well on this one and checked twice before we actually decided to share this with the world. Samsung Galaxy Tab 16GB in Germany is going to cost €30 more than the 32GB iPad WiFi + 3G! There is no reason to doubt Vodafone Germany on the authenticity of the information on offer (Unless this is a huge mistake). But it makes us wonder how in the world is Samsung planning on selling the Galaxy Tab at a price that is higher than the iPad by offering half of what is on offer from Apple. If this is Samsung’s idea of marketing, then they are in deep

We compared HTC HD7 vs. Samsung Omnia 7 just yesterday and today we decided to put the same test to two of HTC’s most sought-after mobiles. Of course, the catch here is that unlike yesterday, today we are dealing with the battle between the OS platforms and not the handset makers- it will be Windows Phone 7 up against the ever-growing Android 2.2 (Froyo). It is HTC HD7 vs. HTC Desire HD. So which is the better handset from HTC and who will win this early war? Let us find out right away by digging in: Sizing Up: The HTC HD7 comes in with dimensions of 122 x 68

HTC seems to be making waves both on the Android as well as the Windows Phone 7 OS platforms. Now is the turn of Android 2.2 once again and the handset in focus is the HTC Gratia. Announced today, the Gratia will be making its debut all across Europe in November and taking into account both the popularity of the Android OS-based mobiles and also the latest models that are being rolled out by HTC (like the Desire HD), Gratia is well worth a look. The most impressive and obviously striking feature of HTC Gratia will be its exterior. The handset will come in White, Black and Dark

Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 is all set to enter into a monumental battlefield come this holiday season in the mobile phone arena. While the HTC Desire HD has been much sought-after in the Android platform, the HTD HD7 is considered the closest to the Desire HD in the Windows Phone 7 OS-based market. But Samsung has its own plans with the Omnia 7 trying hard to be the flag-bearer for the WinPho 7 devices in the market. So when the HTC HD7 squares off against Samsung Omnia 7, which handset takes home the crown? Sizing Up: The HTC HD7 comes in with dimensions of

Nokia C7 might not be as hotly searched or anticipated as the N8 is, but then the C7 was never meant to be the flagship device of Nokia. But that in no way means Nokia will have reduced expectations on the success of C7. The Finnish-giant is pinning its hope on C7 to attract new consumers to Nokia while giving its loyal customers something to think about. With the C7 is now available for pre-order, what exactly can we expect from it? Nokia C7 Pre-order just went live and you can get this handset directly and unlocked from Nokia for a price of £389.

We thought that we would give you a very crisp, complete yet easy-to-read review of the Nokia N8. Instead of you having to spend hours together on just a single review, you can browse through the page to see what are the basic pros and cons of the phone along with what you can expect as a moderate user of your mobile. Of course, we do encourage you to go though the complete guide before you buy the N8, but if you are looking for something to put those many pages into simple buying decisions, then here we go… The positives of the N8 start off with its great camera. The much

Impressed by the Nokia N8? Even better, wish to bring one home? What an early Christmas gift would it really be! Then the best thing to do would be to ensure that you do not miss out on it’s and pre-order right away. That of course leads to the question of what deals are on offer. Tesco Phone Shop is offering some cool contract deals on this uber-cool handset from Nokia and in case you really are a Nokia loyal, then we suggest you take a quick look before you go elsewhere. The Nokia N8 will be available from the 22 October for £30 a month on Vodafone, O2 and Tesco Mobile. If

The LG Optimus 7 might be the first smartphone on the planet which has made an ‘availability’ appearance through an online retailer while its OS is yet to be released. Makes for an interesting reading, doesn’t it? And just in case you do not quite understand- the LG Optimus 7 has been spotted bearing a price tag on Amazon’s German website (Amazon.de) while Microsoft is yet to make the Windows Phone 7 mobileOS public. This might just have ruined MSFT’s plans to keep promoting the mobile OS while still keeping its precise release date as a mystery, although October 11 is

Big Red remains the last US carrier to release its very own version of the Samsung Galaxy S smartphone and it now seems that the wait is finally getting over. There are reasons one many to be thinking like this and that includes an almost confirmed availability date of September 9 from Verizon. The bigger reason though is the beginning of in-store pre-orders being taken by our beloved Best Buy and this snapshot pasted below is a big enough confirmation unless you wish to check up with Best Buy of course. All the other versions of the Samsung Galaxy S released through various US
