The Motorola W270 features a dual-band GSM (850/1900Mhz) radio, MP3 playback, microSD card slot, and FM radio with RDS.
So, not many features on the […]

Nokia N-Gage is apparently scoffing at the Sony PSP phone even before it’s announced. It’s true that Nokia got to the mobile gaming market before Sony, but Sony does have a lot of experience with gaming devices - so it seems like an obvious move to make a Sony PSP phone.
The head of Nokia’s games division went on the assault at […]

Cnet reviews the Nokia E90 Communicator: “The Nokia E90 Communicator is a mammoth. The handset measures a whopping 5.2 inches tall by 2.2 inches wide by 0.7 inch deep and weighs 7.4 ounces, so you can pretty much forget about slipping this into a pants pocket, comfortably anyway. On the upside, the Nokia E90 Communicator has a […]
Verizon’s new data plans may not be so good after all. Currently, Verizon is offering a “unlimited data” plan that costs $59.99. The limit on that plan is 5GB per month, and after you reach that limit your service may be slowed down to 200Kbps. That stinks, but at least they don’t charge you for additional usage.
“On March […]
A new Garmin Nuvifone lawsuit has been filed by Nuvio, a Kansas based Internet telephone provider. The company alleges that it’s customers will get confused by the Nuvifone because it’s customers already call their phones “Nuvio phone”.

Cnet reviews the Verizon Samsung U550: “The Verizon Samsung U550 doesn’t offer anything new in cell phone design. In fact, it resembles quite a few Verizon Samsung phones that came before it, including the SCH-U540 and the SCH-U340. The result is a rather boring, uninspiring look. At 3.77×1.95×0.64 inches, it’s about the same size as the […]

Cnet reviews the Sprint Samsung M520: “The Sprint Samsung M520 has a design that we’ve seen many times before from Samsung.

The Alaska DigiTel unlimited calling, texting and picture messaging plans seem to outdo anything USA mainland carriers are currently offering. This is pretty impressive seeing as Alaska DigiTel is pretty much a mom-and-pop cell phone company. Well, I guess you should expect that when Alaska’s population is not very high.
Last week T-Mobile, Sprint & Verizon announced unlimited calling plans […]

The Windows Mobile 6 Standard software load […]
The Verizon Samsung U940 Glyde is a new handset set to launch in late March.
