It looks, judging by these images, like someone has been faxing something they shouldn’t have, but when the leak is a detailed spec-sheet for the BlackBerry Tour 9630 we won’t quibble over it coming on thermal paper. According to MobileSyrup’s source, the Tour 9630 will arrive on Canadian carrier Bell in mid-July, bringing with it an HVGA 480 x 360 display, 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera with flash, quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE, 2100MHz UMTS/HSPA and 800/1900MHz EVDO Rev.A.
Joining Wistron’s N900z on the Freescale Semiconducters Computex stand is this netbook from Pegatron. Running an Freescale IMX51 800MHz ARM-based CPU and Xandros Linux OS, the most interesting aspects of the ultraportable are its super-skinny profile and long, eight-hour battery life.
Video hands-on after the cut
Hot on the heels of the first official Qualcomm Smartbook prototypes comes more information on the latest Snapdragon chipsets. Compared to the existing 1GHz Snapdragon chips – as used in the Toshiba TG01 smartphone - the new QSD8650A chipset uses 45nm manufacturing processes and has a faster 1.3GHz clock speed but up to 30-percent lower power requirements.
After the “Inner Circle” screenshots from this morning, we now have the first full review of the HTC Snap. The company’s latest candybar QWERTY handset, the Snap has a compact 2.4-inch non-touchscreen display, dualband UMTS/HSPA and WiFi b/g, and is HTC’s attempt to take on RIM’s popular BlackBerry line.
When Acer announced their 11.6-inch Aspire One netbook last month, they were pretty loose on the ultraportable’s full specifications. Now the largest netbook the company offers has been listed on their German site, as the Acer Aspire One 751, confirming that Acer have used the Intel Atom Z520 processor paired with the US15W Express Chipset and up to 2GB of RAM.
The rumored Acer Aspire One Pro 531 netbook has appeared on Acer Germany’s website. First tipped back in March, the Pro 531 has the same 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 display and choice of N270 or N280 Atom processors as the standard Aspire One 531 (aka A531) but adds a choice of OS, larger hard-drives or an optional SSD.
The black AT&T branded Nokia E71x spotted in the wild last November has obviously been breeding, hence the four devices queued up here. According to the Boy Genius Report, they’re actually queuing up at an AT&T store, freshly unboxed and waiting for their March 24th launch.
After the cut, pricing and more details
The first image of the upcoming Samsung Android smartphone has been released, spotted at a Samsung dealer presentation in Amsterdam. The candybar-format device – the name of which is still unknown – has a large capacitive touchscreen together with a 528MHz processor, large (unspecified) amounts of onboard storage and a microSD card slot.
Take the keyboard of the BlackBerry Bold and the slinky chassis of the BlackBerry Curve, mingle them together with a little CDMA connectivity, and you’ll apparently end up with this: the RIM BlackBerry 9630 Niagara. Seen here in real photos for the first time, this is apparently no photoshop..
A UMTS version of the ASUS convertible touchscreen netbook has been spotted at CeBIT this morning. The ASUS Eee PC T91GO has the same basic specifications of the original T91, but adds a quadband 3G HSPA modem to the standard WiFi b/g/n and Bluetooth.
