HTC fans are sure in for exciting times. They all know the company’s first ever Windows Phone 7 handset will debut on Sprint in just five days’ time. Five days is no big waiting period, but what if someone else wants to give you the phone much earlier? The QWERTY slider handset is currently being offered by online retailer Wirefly for $49.99. That amount is what you need to pay if you would want to pre-order the phone on Wirefly. The phone will be shipped to you along with a Sprint account and a two-year service plan. You won’t have to pay a penny for shipping too. As you

When trademark applications are spotted, they are bound to trigger talk of a new device in the works. As is the practice, a mystery device is up for dissection by the tech press yet again, and this time around, two trademark applications found floating just ahead of the CTIA 2011 event make us too speculate of this mystery gadget. Going by the intricacies, we – like others of our ilk – too are prompted to guess that the device could be a HTC piece that would go by the possible name  of HTC EVO View 4G! No one out there seems to have any clue whether the device is a tablet

We had sometime in November 2010 told you that the HTC Trophy would finally be yours during early 2011. The month of launch we expected had been March. March 2011 is already here and we were puzzled as to why we don’t hear anything on the release of the enticing HTC Trophy. We had expected some kind of a clarification, but we had not expected it to be postponement news whatsoever. We just got wind of grapevine talk that the HTC Trophy will indeed come, but not before June this year. It is only March now, but June isn’t that far away, right? The HTC Trophy makes us wait for

Specs and features of Samsung’s upcoming Android-based CDMA phone, codenamed SCH-i100 Gem, have been revealed.

RIM has had a ‘business-users only’ tag while making their handsets, and it seems the phone maker is now trying out something different with their next-gen Curve series device called the Sedona. Being lined up as an entry-level handset, the BlackBerry Curve Sedona comes about as an ultra-thin mobile phone and is almost half the size of the BlackBerry Bold 9700/80. Running OS 6.1, the BlackBerry Sedona incorporates 512MB RAM and an ultra thin EM1 battery. The display size is akin to what we had earlier seen on the Bold 9780 – though a bit shorter by the 9780 standards. RIM

Verizon has released its first commercial for the carrier’s much anticipated CDMA version of the Apple iPhone 4. The new commercial announces the device’s arrival on Verizon’s network, while also addresses the angst revolving around the delay of the device. As you might know, speculations about a Verizon iPhone have been reported so many times in all the tech sites ever since the iPhone was launched back in 2007. And now, the carrier is all set to launch the new device on its network. The Verizon iPhone 4 will be launched in the US on the 10th of February, and all the

We have been subjected to loads of information dumped on us with regard to the  CDMA iPhone from the Apple-Verizon stables for quite a while a now. Every time we hear about the device, it seems like some new details just wait to arrive next. The latest on this front is that the CDMA iPhone, built by Apple in partnership with Verizon, will look beyond the American markets. As many as four Asian markets – India, China, Japan and South Korea – are expected to get the device too.

All you Nokia fans out there who have been waiting for Valentine’s Eve to dawn so that you could lay your hands on the Nokia X7, a.k.a. Nokia Journey,  on AT&T, can now curse your stars. For, the Nokia smart phone has been taken off the shelves by the carrier. AT&T was supposed to launch the phone on February 13; just a day before the Mobile World Congress opens in Barcelona. For AT&T, it would have been their first Symbian^3 handset. Not any more! Accessory manufacturers were too expecting the launch and had been gearing up to provide accessories for the

Verizon’s Chief Financial Officer Francis Shammo, in an interview, has said that the carrier will be introducing an iPad version that will be equipped with an inbuilt chip that will help in connecting the device to Verizon’s data network. As you might already know, iPad users currently need an extra device to connect to Verizon’s network. The carrier now sells a WiFi only model of the Apple iPad, offering the popular iOS tablet bundled with a Verizon MiFi mobile hotspot. And you must also know that Verizon just announced the much anticipated CDMA version of the

Verizon is marching forward with their new 4G LTE network and Android superphones that will take advantage of the uber-speeds they advertise. They took stage in Vegas at CES 2011, brought news about ultra-performing mobile phones and network changes, but kept quiet about the iPhone 4. Now don’t get us wrong, we’re not saying a CDMA iPhone for Big Red won’t the see daylight, we’re saying that the Consumer Electronics Show would’ve been a great way to break the story to the masses. On the other hand, knowing that Apple is a master of marketing and advertising, they
