The folks over at ShieldZone were nice enough to send me an Invisible Shield to test out for my shiny new iPhone. As with the Shield I installed previously on my Treo 650, installation was a piece of cake, and you can barely tell it’s there. Much nicer than a bulky cover, and […]
The new Motorola SLVR L7 should be on shelves this month. Measuring only 113 x 49 x 11.5 mm (I think that translates to 4.4 x 1.9 x 0.5 inches), it’s just a bit longer than a folded RAZR. It’s also narrower and thinner than the RAZR, making it one of the smallest […]
The UT Starcom F-1000 is a new Wi-Fi wireless phone, designed to work with your Vonage telephone service. It will connect to your Vonage service anywhere you can find an open Wi-Fi hotspot, giving you free calls.
The Haier P7 is a fairly ordinary new phone with a very interesting form factor. If you’re into owning a phone that doesn’t look like everyone else’s, this is a cool one. Just bigger than you average pen, it will easily fit into your pocket protector.
The Treo 650 is just about the perfect mix of a PDA and a cell phone. The biggest obvious external difference between it and the Treo 600 is the screen. It’s far better than the previous iteration, doubling the resolution at 320×320.
Samsung and Sprint have just introduced the MM-A900, a new handset designed to go head to head with the ultra-popular RAZR from Motorola (it’s codename is “Blade”). This device is much cooler looking than just about anything I’ve seen from Samsung. Perhaps that’s because the took a RAZR, tweaked it a little bit, and called it good.
Motorola’s RAZR phone has been wildly successful. Some say that without it, Motorola would have gone quietly into the halls of the has-been. According to The NPD Group, Motorola sold 30% of the 31.6 million handsets sold in Q3 of 2005. They turned a profit of $1.75 billion dollars that quarter, on revenue of $9.42 billion.
Last week, RIM and Verizon Wireless released the BlackBerry 7130e smartphone. This is their first device to take advantage of Verizon’s new EV-DO high speed wireless network. Verizon claims EV-DO will deliver download speeds between 400 and 700kbps.
Nokia has confirmed that they will be halting production of their N-Gage gaming phone until at least the beginning of 2007. Sales of the device have been quite disappointing. Nokia predicted it would sell 6 million N-Gages over the last three years. Alas, it only managed to move about a third of that.
On sale this Friday, the 25th, the magenta Motorola RAZR from T-Mobile. That should be hard to miss. The cost will be $249 with a one year contract.
