By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Sep 8th 2009 No Comments

UK carriers Orange and T-Mobile have announced plans to merge, in a deal that will leave them the country's largest mobile phone firm. The two carriers will maintain separate front-end operations for the next eighteen months, while their branding is examined presumably in preparation for a merge, but in the background they will share network infrastructure and are promising customers improvements in quality and coverage.

HTC Touch Pro 2 Landing On Verizon With Huge $199.99 Impact

By Evan Selleck on Friday, Sep 4th 2009 8 Comments

No, that doesn't mean that the price is huge. Actually, in comparison it seems pretty low. And considering the amount of people anxiously waiting for the Touch Pro 2 to land, it looks like Verizon has a huge one-up on the competition. And if you're in the range of getting a new contract, or are waiting to get a contract for this phone to launch, then Verizon might have found a way to wiggle into your hearts.

Samsung Behold 2 Passes Through Bluetooth SIG With Interesting Wording

By Evan Selleck on Thursday, Sep 3rd 2009 No Comments

We get it that Android is a hot commodity at this point, and we're all for seeing the expanding OS hitting more phones in the States, but there's a point where jumping the gun might not be that beneficial. Android is a platform that needs to hit popular, or even eye-catching phones at this point, and shy away from ambiguous, run-of-the-mill devices. And, unless you fell head over heels for the original Behold when it launched on T-Mobile, then we're tagging "run-of-the-mill" on its sequel. But then again, does running Android on a device make it stand out, just by default?

An iPhone Arms-Race to Nowhere

By Chris Davies on Monday, Aug 31st 2009 4 Comments

iphone 3g In Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass, there is a line from the Red Queen, in which she states, “It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.” In evolution, this is a theory that is also known as an “arms race to nowhere”, in which two different species evolve in tandem, one after the other, in an infinite loop. The reason, is because as one system evolves, then the other must evolve with it, just to keep pace.

And so the system is unending and essential for the survival of a species.

It’s no different in the technology ecosystem. In fact, it’s a lot more evident there, as we can see the fruits of these evolutionary developments as clear as day. We watched as the iPhone became the iPhone 3G, and while it may not have been leaps and bounds ahead of its predecessor in a lot of ways, we witnessed the 3G become the 3GS. And in turn, we saw almost every other major phone manufacturer develop phones to counter the iPhone. You’ve heard of them: the mythical iPhone killer.

By Chris Davies on Friday, Aug 21st 2009 No Comments

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.

Samsung Instinct Q Finally Pictured

By Evan Selleck on Wednesday, Aug 19th 2009 No Comments

Android phones are coming out all over the place, ranging from the basic Android device, all the way up to HTC’s Sense UI, which made us all take a second look at what Android was capable of. And we’re happy to see the open source Operating System (OS) getting some of the lime-light, especially so quickly. And while HTC has beem the main proponent to Android’s availability on the market, other manufacturers are quickly clamoring to get their piece of the pie. Motorola has two handsets reportedly coming out, the Verizon-bound Sholes (or Shules, whichever you think doesn’t sound ridiculous when you say it aloud), and the T-Mobile Morrison, which is a lower-end device. And Samsung had already inroduced the i7500 (or Galaxy), but it looks like they’re not finished yet. Here, we finally introduce the Samsung Instinct Q.
