Leak Sauce: is this Sony Ericssons's RIK...

actfind — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 09:49:52 +0200

The folks at USEB (Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog) popped this pic out of what they're calling the "Rika", a G705 clone that Sony Ericsson's apparently set to announce next month. Sadly, what you see is what you get on this one folks, we do know, however, that it's decidedly lovely, silver, and Walkman-branded. Also worth noting is the forward-facing cam, so we'll at least be treated to some 3G, and hopefully some inner bigness in the memory department for the tunes your Walkman should sport. Know that we'll be all over this as soon as we hear more, so just sit tight, OK?

Velocity Mobile launches the 83, naming...

actfind — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 09:24:14 +0200

Don't get us wrong, Velocity Mobile's new 83 is certainly a well thought out Windows Mobile 6.1 device, but with its older siblings getting grandiose names like the 103 and 111, they could have broken down and done something different. We guess the low number may be alluding to the lack of the third G, but the quad-band EDGE, GPS, WiFi, 2.8-inch screen, and dual microSD slots -- one for storage the other for maps -- mostly still makes us nod. Price point is set in the $500 range and the launch is scheduled for November this year.

Samsung's Armani 2 Night Effect is well...

actfind — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 09:18:39 +0200

Well it seems Samsung and Giorgio Armani weren't happy to see an end to the battle of the designer phone, so here they are again with yet another garishly branded phone. The Samsung Armani 2 Night Effect eschews tech and cool form for a lovely blue wraparound light, quad-band EDGE / HSDPA, 3.2 megapixel camera, FM radio, 120MB of memory with expansion via microSD, and Bluetooth for accessory connectivity. This handset should see the light of day in Europe come November with South East Asia and the Middle East getting their soon after.

BlackBerry Javelin gets photographed, pu...

actfind — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:22:21 +0200

RIM's BlackBerry Javelin hasn't exactly been making itself shy over the past few months, but if you're still not Javelin'd out, you can dive into a fresh new batch of pics courtesy of BlackBerryForums member fr0zen and, if that's still not enough, you can also now buy the very same phone on eBay. Considering that the bidding has already topped the $2,000 mark with six days to go, however, we're guessing most will simply choose to bide their time with the pics available at the link below, which also helpfully includes some comparisons with a few other familiar phones.

Windows Mobile gets location-based searc...

actfind — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:19:39 +0200

Google search on Windows Mobile -- full list of supported devices can be found by following the read link -- just beefed up local searching with the same tech used by Google Maps for Mobile. By grabbing information about the cell towers near you, searches are tailored to your location rather than you having to enter one. For example, entering "Taco Bell" would find the store nearest you, not all of em in your home town. The service is currently only supported in the US and the UK, but as with everything Google's up to -- like world domination -- it'll show up in your locale soon enough. We're fresh out of Windows Mobile devices today, so feel free to hit us up with your experiences.

HTC's Opal to be launched as Viva?

actfind — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:16:20 +0200

Remember HTC's maybe-it'll-replace-the-Touch Opal? Well, it would seem if the rumors of this set existing are true -- and hey, they can be -- it'll not be replacing anything if it only features GPRS / EDGE. Specs potentially feature the same 200MHz OMAP CPU, a 2 megapixel camera, no 3G, and apparently TouchFLO 3D, too. No dates, prices, or anything else here, though we'll hopefully hear something either way soon.

How's that Sprint AIRAVE working out for...

actfind — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:13:59 +0200

So, you took the plunge and forked over a Benjamin (or just kvetched loudly enough to a CSR) and ended up with a Sprint AIRAVE, huh? Now that you've had a few weeks to test it out in your abode, we're interested to know if it has met and / or exceeded expectations. Head on over to this week's episode of How Would You Change to speak your mind.

Sprint's Touch Diamond, now available

actfind — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:11:14 +0200

Like they said they would, Sprint just spun the HTC Touch Diamond out for retail. $250 (after $200 instant savings, $100 mail-in rebate, and 2-year contract) takes home this WinMo 6.1 candybar with HTC's TouchFLO 3D salve layered atop a 2.8-inch touch-screen display, 4GB of memory, WiFi, 3.2 megapixel camera, stereo Bluetooth, GPS, and EV-DO Rev. A. The tough decision is buy now, wait for Sprint's Touch Pro launching on October 19th, or hold-out for Best Buy to get its act together and put the $700 unlocked 3G Touch Diamond out onto store shelves.

Leap wireless to double population cover...

actfind — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:07:46 +0200

Leap Wireless's Cricket has big plans for the coming months, namely significant expansion. The regional carrier currently umbrellas some 61.7 million people, and it's hoping to up that to 120 million (or 40% of the US population) by the end of 2009. This may sound like a fairly lofty goal, but the company's already doubled once between 2005 and 2007, so why not give it another go round? We're thinking if it keep launching decent sets and crazy, inexpensive, and contract-free plans, why not? Shoot for the moon folks, we love it.

Gemalto embeds DVD-compliant optical dis...

actfind — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 11:04:13 +0200

Movies on flash drives aren't looking like the next big thing, but Gemalto reckons its approach to getting DVD content on smaller surfaces is different enough to get noticed. In an admittedly bizarre release, the digital security firm has announced a new Smart Video Card for Italian carrier WIND, which "embeds a DVD-compliant optical disc into the card body of a regular SIM card." The card can store practically any digital content (including video, software or URLs) and can reportedly be played back on any DVD drive. So what, we buy a new SIM card each time we're looking for a new batch of miniaturized content? Fabulous!

Samsung a837 "Rugby" bows on AT&T, looki...

actfind — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:44:03 +0200

It's not every day that AT&T launches a phone that meets military specifications for dust, water, and shock resistance -- in fact, AT&T claims it's the first time ever, despite the Motorola V365's street reputation as a tough piece -- so take note, especially if you've got butterfingers or a job that involves rolling around in a mud pit. The Samsung a837 Rugby won't win any hearts with its charming good looks, but it's got 3G data, push-to-talk support, and a 1.3-megapixel camera to take quick and dirty shots of your dangerous endeavors that'd make your average flip beg for mercy. Grab it now for a shade under $130 on a two-year activation.

AT&T's version of the Samsung Omnia actu...

actfind — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:31:46 +0200

We're hearing that AT&T dealers are now being briefed on the upcoming Samsung i907 -- a phone that we'd like to believe will approximate the appearance and power of the i900 Omnia released overseas, though details are still slim on exactly what form its American cousin's going to take or what capabilities it'll offer. Whatever it is, though, current estimates have it available for order on October 7 as the "Mirage." In other words, yes, go ahead and kiss that Omnia name goodbye -- and really, "Mirage" seems like a perfectly fine name, as long as AT&T isn't trying to imply that it disappears as you get close to the launch date. More details on this one just as soon as we get 'em.

It was redirected for most the of the day, but Verizon's BlackBerry Storm page just went live, hopefully meaning we'll be see RIM's first touchscreen phone make its debut sometime soon. All you can do at the moment is sign up for an email alert, but we've got you covered with the internal promo video, box art, talking points, and even a ninja-themed hands-on -- yeah, let's get this released, guys.

AT&T drops push-to-talk pricing to $5, S...

actfind — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:19:34 +0200

In conjunction with the release of the rugged Rugby from Samsung, AT&T's celebrating its good fortunes by dropping pricing of its push-to-talk option from $10 to $5 (a 50 percent cut, for the mathematically challenged). That puts its rate in line with Verizon's, while Sprint stays the lone ranger up in the clouds at $10 a month. So, you know, if your conundrum comes down to Rugby versus Boulder -- just make sure monthly PTT pricing doesn't come into play in your decision.

Griffin unveils AirCurve acoustic amplif...

actfind — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 10:08:41 +0200

We're not saying a transparent box designed to "acoustically amplify" your iPhone speakers is an unmistakable ripoff or anything, but we do believe your $19.99 would be better spent on materials and beverages of choice as you exercise that DIY muscle. At any rate, Griffin Technology has today introduced the AirCurve (that's the thing we just described) alongside the Clarifi ($34.99; pictured after the jump), a polycarbonate protective case for your iPhone 3G. Unlike alternatives, though, this one has a "close-up lens," which supposedly gives your iPhone 3G the ability to take remarkably detailed macro shots with even "more accurate colors." Call us jaded, but both of these things have marketing hoopla written all over 'em.
