Samsung S8300 Tocco Unboxing and hands-on

By Steven Grady on Wednesday, Apr 15th 2009 No Comments

We got a crate sent to us from Korea, and we weren’t sure what was inside. When I say crate, I mean wooden crate that required a hammer and crow bar to pry open. The precious cargo housed inside was worth the protection. A chorus of angels sang out in the middle of a Home Depot, and I laid eyes upon the Samsung S8300 Tocco Ultra Edition.

Samsung SGH-t819 is as ugly as a brown Zune

By James Allan Brady on Monday, Jan 21st 2008 2 Comments

For some reason T-Mobile and/or Samsung felt it prudent to not only design, but go ahead and produce and sell an ugly brown cell phone. Add to that the fact that it all runs on edge and that makes it all the less tempting.

So the Helio Mysto, the second phone Helio stole from Samsungs top of the line Ultimate Edition line, is finally hitting the market so everyone can get one. If I may remind you, they had a 2-day sale of them in just a couple stores for the two days right after Christmas and then that was it.

Vincent got his Mysto by way of FedEx this morning, it looks great. He hasn’t yet taken the time to review it, so this is just pictures of a more or less dead phone, there is one with the phone on, but that’s it.

Helio Mysto finally hitting stores

By James Allan Brady on Friday, Dec 21st 2007 No Comments

Not on a mass scale though, apparently they’ll actually only be available in the Helio NYC and Santa Monica stores, and even then they won’t be advertised at all, you’ll have to specifically ask for one to even see it, let alone buy it. However, word is, there should be enough available for everyone that shows up and asks for one on the 26th and 27th, then after that they’ll probably be out of supply, for about a month.

LG KH1800 also known as the Orange phone

By James Allan Brady on Thursday, Dec 20th 2007 No Comments

And surprisingly not due to it being on the French network. It’s called that because of the extreme amount of bright orange used on this slider phone.

Its 13.3mm and a slider, I want a slider that thin to hit stateside, I love sliders, but they are always so thick, I guess this one is the exception. It has MP3 playback, a dictionary, camera, and 3G thanks to WCDMA.

Sadly though it will never see the light of day stateside, its headed only to Korea’s KTF network and will cost you the equivalent of about $372 USD. Oh, in case you were wondering, there is no T-DMB in this phone.

Motorola RIZR Z6c nets FCC approval

By James Allan Brady on Monday, Nov 26th 2007 No Comments

The next addition to the RAZR-like devices is well on its way gaining the approval of the FCC. The Moto RIZR Z6c is headed to the VZW or Verizon Wireless.

This is another one of those devices getting the “World Edition” badging due to its dual-band CDMA/EV-DO and Dual-Band GSM (900/1800MHZ) which means you can use it in most of Eurasia as well. Imagine the Motorola SLVR, but in slider form with the RAZR style keypad underneath, and that’s pretty much the RIZR in a nutshell.
