Designer Seunghan Song’s Window Phone concept imagines what it would be like to get the weather from your mobile, as intuitively as looking out your window. The glass display of the cell phone would be clear and fresh to look at on a sunny day, and damp and blurry on a rainy or snowy day. To send text messages or make phone calls, simply blow your breath and it goes to a hand writing mode. Pretty amazing, right? Read more »
This BlackBerry Curve looks like most other BlackBerry Curves. It also works pretty much like all other BlackBerry Curves. But this particular Curve comes with one very special feature … the lowest monthly service charges you can find.
This BlackBerry Curve 8530 comes from MetroPCS, and that means it costs a grand total of 60-bucks a month to use it.
Not $61. Or $65. Or $70, $80, $90 or more. $60.
As with all MetroPCS devices, monthly plan pricing includes all taxes and fees. In the case of the Curve 8530, $60 each month includes unlimited U.S. voice calls, unlimited messaging (email/SMS/MMS) and unlimited Web browsing.
The original HTC Sensation surfaced earlier this year, and has proven so popular that HTC has decided to keep and nurture it as the music-skewed HTC Sensation XE.
HTC sold 13.2 million mobile phones in the third quarter of this year. Considering that’s a 93% increase on last year, it means the company must be doing something right.
HTC is putting its cash on Beats Audio – the musical experience given to the world by Dr Dre – and is heavily marketing both the HTC Sensation XE and HTC Sensation XL as Beats Audio handsets. Read more »
HTC’s Evo 4G phone is fast, powerful and fun to use — as long as your heart isn’t set on tapping into the speedier new network it was designed for.
The Evo 4G, $199 with a two-year contract and rebate, is the first smartphone made for Sprint’s fourth-generation wireless network, which is available in Seattle and a few dozen other cities today. But the vast majority of the time, the phone was connected to the current-generation 3G network. It turns out there are gaps in the coverage area, and my house and my office are both in that 4G-free zone. Read more »
Ubuntu’s plan for a multi-device presence, to potentially include smartphones, has fired up the imagination of users.
And the community have been quick to stoke their creative talents in mocking up a variety of possible implementations.
Below are three of those community designs that have landed in our inbox over the last week…
Nick Rutledge mailed in with a link to his initial designs which are more traditional in approach than some mobile mock-ups that have been bandied around.
Apple iPhone 4S
After last week’s announcement, many analysts and technology bloggers got themselves in a lather about a completely new iPhone with a bigger screen. They were disappointed that this year’s model looks exactly the same. Read more »

iphone-5
. I hate to admit it but somehow I’ve managed to become one of those Apple fangirls that you see walk into the Apple store and spend 30 minutes asking the employees all sorts of uber geek questions.
For one reason or another I’ve taken it upon myself to find out as much as possible about the new iPhone 5 so that I could spread this knowledge. What do I get out of it? The benefit of knowing I’m helping rid the world of lesser non-Apple phones (*cough HTC Evo cough*). Read more »
The Motorola Droid Bionic is Verizon’s latest 4G LTE smartphone (must read: 4G networks). It is only the only LTE handset that has been designed as a true high-end device: in addition of having a very fast wireless network access, it also features a dual-core processor (SoC), 1GB of memory and a large 1735mAh battery.
Motorola aims for the “power user” who uses the phone at work and at home. To achieve this goal, the Email support must reach “Enterprise-Level” in terms of security and management. At the same time, the user can stream files, photos and videos from a home PC. Read more »
