, Aug 28th 2009 Discuss [9]

Nokia World is just around the corner, and the tech world is already gaping at some of the company’s more unusual devices.  SlashGear, though, have already been living with some of the Finnish company’s more mainstream handsets, those which will probably sell far more than flagships like the N900, in the shape of the Eseries E52 and E55.  Differentiated primarily by an unusual, half-QWERTY keyboard on the E55, they both promise lengthy battery life and smartphone strengths in a compact form-factor.  Check out our full review after the cut.

, Aug 21st 2009 Discuss [0]

It's certainly not the first we've heard of the T-Mobile Pulse - aka the Huawei 8220 - but today's spilling of information is perhaps the most comprehensive spec sheet and all-round renders we've seen so far.  The Android OS 1.5 handset has shown up for preorder on a Dutch website, locked to T-Mobile but sold without a contract for €257 ($368) if you're willing to take your chances with third-party unlock merchants.

, Aug 18th 2009 Discuss [0]

Modu's modular-jacket cellphone may already be on sale in Israel, but don't expect to see it land in the US or the UK any time soon; according to the company, "the device just isn't good enough for demanding Brits and Americans who like to surf the internet and stay connected."  CEO Dov Moran followed up that slice of honesty (or was it a snub against the other locations the first-gen Modu will see a release in?) with the news that the Modu 2 will arrive in 2010 offering both a touchscreen and a full QWERTY jacket.

, Jul 24th 2009 Discuss [0]

It's not the first video we've seen of Samsung's Omnia II GT-i8000 and it's very unlikely to be the last, but news that the dualband 850/1900MHz 3G HSDPA/HSUPA version of the AMOLED touchscreen smartphone has cleared the FCC is definitely worth celebrating with some moving pictures.  Beyond the AT&T and Rogers Canada friendly wireless bands there's little here that we didn't know already, but don't let that disappoint you: the Omnia II is still a very tempting smartphone.
