The touch-driven Samsung S7070 packs a 5 megapixel autofocus camera and a 3" resistive touchscreen display with WQVGA resolution. It runs TouchWiz UI and packs a ... Read More

The Samsung Omnia II will soon be released at Verizon on December 2 for $200 on contract after a $100 mail-in rebate.

Here’s a video of the Samsung Omnia II with AMOLED screen after the jump. The Samsung Omnia II will soon ... Read More

I’m not too sure what to think of the Motorola Motus yet, but one thing is for sure: that form factor is crazy. The photo that leaked just a few hours ago already seemed to indicate that something weird was going on with the keyboard (with what seems like a tiny sliver of overlap, how the heck is it attached?), but these (alleged) specs just make things even more ridiculous.

The BlackBerry Pearl 8100 was, and still is, a lovely little phone, QWERTYfied, pocketable, and rocking that little milky trackball that gave it its name. There's finally a true successor coming down the pipeline (the flippy 8230 not really counting) though it ditches the iconic pearl for a now-standard (and hopefully more reliable) touchpad. There's a similarly swoopy SureType keyboard and the overall dimensions look very much the same, meaning ... Read More

Just recently we’ve heard that Samsung is ready to unveil its own mobile platform called bada this year. Naturally we assumed that the first bada phone will be also announced in December when the bada SDK will be made available but that won’t happen. In fact it looks like the first bada phone will be launched only in the first half of 2010. Will we see the bada phone around ... Read More
