AT&T Samsung Cetus i917 Windows Phone 7 leaks
Windows Phone 7 must be close, because the leaks keep on coming. Another Samsung smartphone has poked its head into the wild, believed to be the Samsung Cetus i917 headed to AT&T's clammy clutches. Packing the usual WP7 hardware into a glossy black casing that's a little more discrete than HTC's two-tone Schubert/Mozart, we're guessing that means the previously spotted prototype was indeed just a model used for internal testing.

T-Mobile’s HSPA+ G2 leaks, confirmed as HTC Vision [Updated]
T-Mobile's upcoming G2 smartphone has broken cover, with Engadget being sent images of the new HSPA+ handset in the wild.

LG: Optimus tablet “better than the iPad”; 10 new phones in 2H 2010
Brave words from LG this week, with the company pledging not only to launch 10 new smartphone models by the end of 2010, but promising that its upcoming tablet will "be better than the iPad."

LG to Implement NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 Processor in Upcoming Smartphones
LG has kept up with their Windows Mobile offerings, and they've said that they have a commitment to Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 that's set to launch this year. With that being said, the hardware needs to make folks out there in the market get excited again. Because, unfortunately, LG and smartphones haven't necessarily been on people's tongues as of late. But, that has a very good chance of changing, if LG does indeed work with NVIDIA to get Tegra 2 into a smartphone later this year.

Nokia N9 Breaks Cover, MeeGo Along for the Ride
Nokia is still a presence in the smartphone industry. Even if their name isn't synonymous with the market here in the United States, the moment you enter the international market, things change. With that being said, there's a lot of talk that Nokia's last stand is coming up here pretty quickly, and stand-out devices like the N9 need to show that the company still has a place in a fight against Apple's iOS and Google's Android. So when a new boat load of images break cover of the device, a small spark lights up inside of us. Call it hope -- or maybe irrationality.

T-Mobile G2 Android HSPA+ smartphone gets teasingly official
T-Mobile USA has just pinged us to flag up their latest teaser site, for the new T-Mobile G2. Billed as the network's first HSPA+ smartphone - which T-Mobile reckon will deliver speeds on a par with 4G rivals - there's scant detail as to the identity or specifications of the G2 itself, but we're guessing it's the HTC-made QWERTY slider previously known as the HTC Vision or T-Mobile G1 Blaze.

BlackBerry Torch sells 150,000 in first weekend?
RIM's first weekend sales for the BlackBerry Torch may have proved disappointing for AT&T and the manufacturer, with various analysts suggesting the touchscreen smartphone shifted just 150,000 units in its first two days of availability. Both RBC Capital Markets and Stifel Nicolaus came to the 150k figure, having made spot-checks for stock levels at stores over the weekend, while Goldman Sachs merely described the launch as "underwhelming".

HTC Desire HD gets early Amazon UK listing
It's still up in the air whether HTC's press event midway through next month will be for the company's first Windows Phone 7 handset or something running Android, but with Electricpig spotting an Amazon UK listing for the HTC Desire HD we've a feeling it's the latter. The listing - which suggests the Desire HD will be shipped from Amazon themselves, not a third-party seller - prices the smartphone at £415 but mentions no specifications.
