By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Sep 16th 2009 No Comments

Archos’ new PMP isn’t the only Android gadget SlashGear has been playing with recently. Last night saw the launch of the European version of Motorola’s first Android smartphone, the Motorola DEXT. Debuted last week as the Motorola CLIQ in the US, the QWERTY slider smartphone is set to arrive exclusively on Orange in the UK and France; so far all the carrier has said is “early October”, but SlashGear was told that the official release date is somewhere between the 5th and the 9th of October.

Importers Dynamism have released pricing and specification details for the Viliv S7, the latest ultraportable touchscreen device from the Korean company. Coming after the surprisingly popular S5 and well-received X70, the S7 adds a QWERTY keyboard and uses a more traditional netbook-style form-factor; according to Dynamism, when it drops in the US it’ll be priced from $629.

The GW620 has both a 3-inch touchscreen and a slide-out QWERTY hardware keyboard, and avoids the heavy customization of HTC Sense or Motorola MOTOBLUR.

We’re still waiting for official word from Motorola and T-Mobile in the US as to when the new CLIQ Android smartphone will land, but that hasn’t stopped the manufacturer’s UK arm from getting a little more specific. The Motorola DEXT – which is how the handset will be branded outside the US – has been confirmed to arrive on Orange UK in early September, with preordering expected to begin on September 22nd.

Motorola CLIQ hands-on video and first-impressions

By Vincent Nguyen on Friday, Sep 11th 2009 No Comments

After announcing the Motorola CLIQ with MOTOBLUR yesterday, we grabbed some hands-on time with the new Android smartphone and persuaded one of the company’s demo team to give us a ten minute walkthrough of its capabilities. There’s plenty to like about this distinctive new addition to the Android stable; we didn’t have as much time to play as we’d have liked, but our early impression is that the keyboard is well made, sturdy and tactile, and the capacitive display responsive and accurate.

Nokia 7705 Twist sashays onto Verizon

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Sep 10th 2009 No Comments

The HTC Touch Pro2 isn’t the only QWERTY handset Verizon are unveiling today, but it’s certainly far more traditionally-shaped than the Nokia 7705 Twist. The square device swivels open to reveal its keyboard, as well as packing a 3-megapixel camera, EVDO Rev.0 (not Rev.A), a 2.5mm headphones jack and a 2.4-inch LCD display.

Verizon HTC Touch Pro2 lands for $199.99

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Sep 10th 2009 No Comments

Verizon has become the third US carrier to offer the HTC Touch Pro2, with the slide-out QWERTY Windows Mobile smartphone priced at $199.99 following a mail-in $100 rebate. That means it neatly undercuts the Sprint and T-Mobile versions, though still offers the same jam-packed spec sheet.

Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 debuts

By Chris Davies on Thursday, Sep 10th 2009 1 Comment

Even those who aren’t too keen on Microsoft’s software strategies often admit that the company’s hardware arm pushes out some decent peripherals, and the latest such example of that is their Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000. A low-profile wireless ‘board that comes complete with a separate, Bluetooth-connected numeric keypad, the Mobile Keyboard 6000 borrows the firm’s comfort-curve ergonomic layout for more contented wrists.
