Filed under: Handsets, Palm, Sprint, Palm OS, EV-DO, CDMA Nothing quite says "these puppies are selling well, and we'd like to ride the wave a bit longer" than reformulating an existing device in new colors -- a strategy Motorola played to the extreme, bitter end with the original RAZR -- [...]

Filed under: Handsets, Others, GSM And now, a dispatch from our "we'd be gaga over it with a 3G radio" department: Fly Mobile's E310 Attitude slider has slid on through the FCC's testing process, blessing it with a sort of cheap, neo-Chocolate look and feel that'd make LG proud. Truth [...]

Filed under: Handsets, Palm, Telstra, Windows Mobile, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTSFor our money, there's really nothing worse than dropping a few hundred bucks on a shiny new 3G toy, taking it home to the Outback, and realizing that we're getting more wallaby meat than we are reception. Happily, Telstra has [...]

Filed under: Culture, Handsets If comScore's data is to believed then the US has done the unthinkable and passed Western Europe (aka, old Europe right Donnie?) in terms of 3G adoption. 28.4% of American mobile cellphone subscribers north of that southern land mass with a similar sounding name now sport [...]

Filed under: Handsets, HTC, Sprint, Windows Mobile, EV-DO, CDMAIt was only a matter of time before the WSJ (Katherine Boehret, in this case) got their hands around Sprint's still-not-official Touch Diamond, and we can't say that the conclusion she drew is at all shocking.

Filed under: Handsets, RIM, ATT, GSM, EDGE Who ever said the WiFi-laden BlackBerry Curve 8320 had to be a T-Mobile exclusive? AT&T certainly ain't hearing that, according to some colorful paperwork outed by Boy Genius Report, which should give BlackBerry upgraders and first-timers alike a less expensive alternative to the [...]

Filed under: Handsets, Samsung, Verizon Wireless, CDMA It's truly difficult to fathom what takes a carrier so long to launch a basic, feature-barren flip once they've managed to take the time to put press shots together, but alas, this is the first we've heard of the u430 since all the [...]

Nokia has released its new N-Series phone, the N96, in Europe. It's like the Swiss army knife of phones - a very expensive Swiss army knife - in that it does a lot of things, except one: It won't allow you to make VoIP calls. Apparently some of the more [...]

Filed under: Handsets, Samsung, Rogers Wireless, GSM, EDGE It looks like Rogers is finally getting around to expanding its rather anemic selection of UMA-enabled Talkspot phones, informing dealers that they can expect delivery of the t336 from Samsung in the next few days. The phone -- a dead ringer for [...]

Filed under: Handsets For some reason, we're quite taken with the Peek email-only handheld, and Gadling's followup review of the love-it-or-hate-it device mostly reinforces that positive impression. The squared-off, Ideo-designed unit did its one task admirably well, sending and receiving emails using T-Mobile's network with only slight delay, and the [...]

Filed under: Handsets, LG, Motorola, Samsung, Verizon Wireless, EV-DO, CDMA Krave? Knack? New phones listed on Verizon's latest rebate forms has us believing that we may be approaching the product marketing End Times where naming conventions reach a level of silliness never before fathomed.

Filed under: Peripherals, Nokia, Samsung, Sprint A little URL hacking by Engadget fan Leo, has revealed Sprint's new My Xohm site and loads of service information.

Thanks to slippery fingers and loose lips, we already knew that the Touch Diamond and Touch Pro [...]
