First spotted a few weeks ago, the Samsung M5650 Lindy has been officially announced by Samsung, coming as some sort of a successor to the Corby S3650.

Its other features include: 2.8 inch QVGA display, ... Read More

The 7230 is a fancy-looking slider with decent features, including: 2.4 inch QVGA display, Bluetooth 2.1, 3.5mm headset ... Read More

Not that this should surprise anyone, but Apple has sold only 5,000 iPhones since last week when it officially launched. The phrase “officially launched” is key, since people there have been able to buy the iPhone on the gray market for some time now. And it’s a superior phone on the grey market, since the official phone doesn’t have Wi-Fi. That’s right: a smartphone nearly in 2010 that doesn’t have ... Read More
