Sony Ericsson has announced a new sporty Walkman phone running Android.    Called the Sony Ericsson Live, this is a refreshed WT18i that focuses heavily on music and social networking integration. Sporting a funky curved design that's definitely less-generic than your average Android slab, the handset measures 56.5 x 106 x 14.2 mm and weighs 115 grams.  The Walkman branding doesn't seem to be as loud...

LG has announced a smartphone with a name based on the Spanish word for "sun."  Called the LG Optimus Sol, it packs what the company calls a "first-class display" as its main selling point. Think your AMOLED display is great?  This new phone's screen should trump that, boasting an Ultra-AMOLED panel that reputedly packs more advanced reflection rates compared to standard AMOLED displays.   For the user,...

RIM has announced a trio of new additions to the Curve line.  Well, it's actually just one phone in three variants: the Blackberry Curve 9350 (CDMA-only), the Blackberry Curve 9360 (GSM/UMTS) and the Blackberry Curve 9370 (GSM/CDMA). Sporting the familiar QWERTY candybar form factor, the handset embraces the classic Blackberry styling, all while coming in at an extra-slim 11mm.  Both front and rear surfaces are...

Nokia has unveiled the latest update to its soon-to-be-killed Symbian OS, along with three new devices that are going to run it.  The successor to Symbian Anna will be called Symbian Belle, bringing a whole set of new features for the platform Nokia is surprisingly still pushing.  The three debuting phones running it consist of the Nokia 700, the Nokia 701 and the Nokia 600. What does the new Symbian flavor bring...

The Samsung Conquer 4G sets itself apart by being one of the cheaper 4G-equipped phones out there.  Despite the price, it's quite the capable device, striking a good balance of hardware and features to go with the high-speed broadband connectivity. Physically, it's a good-looking mid-sized phone that should fit perfectly fine in your pants pocket.  While it’s nowhere near premium in appearance, the textured back...

Samsung debuted a new messaging phone for Cricket's roster.  Called the Samsung Comment, it's a QWERTY candybar feature phone for texting-heavy users. Sporting a Blackberry-style form factor, the handset measures 4.41 x 2.4 x 0.43 inches and weighs 3.3 ounces.  It appears to be Samsung's replacement for the Freeform II, although the specs aren’t all that much of an upgra...

Remember the app Nokia 3D World Gaze? It has just been updated at Nokia Beta Labs with quite a few new changes.There’s some pinch zooming and inertia to make scrolling that little bit nicer, imperial units, new Anna app and mo...

We rarely cover themes here but looking around the N8 related groups, it’s something N8 (and Symbian users) in general still really like.Yesterday, a symbian themer named Glenn emailed to tell us about his themes on Ovi Store. We’d like to start show casing some themes and we’ll begin with his work called Metro Minimal. It’s a simple, clean minimalistic theme, and very helpful on battery life for AMOLED scree...

Matthew Miller from ZDNet (previously of Nokia Experts too) has written a piece on Windows Phone, asking folks to at least give the thing a try (presumably before people bash it due to the MS name)In a provocative title, Matthew claims,“Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 is the most stable mobile phone OS“As well as a Nokia Blogger, Matthew has experience of nearly every mobile OS and he says, “I can say without a doubt that Windows Phone...

Pic by N8. It already hates taking pics of my Omnia 7, now another Sammy in the house. Hmmm... Android is the mobile OS I have least experience with. To improve my understanding of the shape of mobile OSes, I’ve got an Android handset for the next two weeks or so from the UK mobile network @ThreeUK to see what the fuss is about. What is this Android that is eating Symbian sales? What is this Android that could have been Nokia’s...

Engadget has posted up their hands on gallery of the Nokia 600, 700, and 701 Symbian Belle handsets. There’s no reaction yet from the engadget staff on Symbian Belle. At the end of their post is a video showing NFC check in with these new Nokias. NFC is going to be on all future Symbian handsets and is a feature Nokia wants to popularise as much as they had done with SMS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPdUcotSx...

It could happen.So, yesterday Nokia announced its first-quarter earnings. The numbers kinda sucked, to put it bluntly, but they beat the estimates. Still, there might be some light at the end of the tunnel, and no, we’re not talking about MeeGo. Some of the highlights:Overall sales rose 6% to 12.7 billion euro, compared to last year. Devices & Services rose 4%, but was offset by a 37% jump for NAVTEQ and 9% increase...

Nokia dropped a bombshell announcement today. It’s the beginning of a new era for Nokia: the company announced a “strategic partnership with Microsoft to build a global mobile ecosystem based on highly complementary assets.” That means that yes, Nokia will be adopting Windows Phone for future smartphones. But it’s more than that: the partnership means that Nokia will also integrate its current apps with Microsoft products, while Microsoft...

The N9: It's not a Windows Phone. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything really worthwhile on this blog. Then again, it’s been a long time since there’s been any worthwhile Nokia news. And so, after a four-month hiatus, it’s time again to look at one of Nokia’s latest phones: the oft-rumored N9. When we last left Nokia, the company had announced that it would be going the way of the Windows Phone, in what was probably one...

One of my favorite Mac apps has finally made its way to iOS…well, kind of. Caffeine, is a popular Mac app that prevents your Mac from going into sleep mode for a set interval of your choosing. The Caffeine on the jailbreak store isn’t related in anyway besides the name, but it aims to do something similar. The jailbreak version allows you to prevent your iOS device from autolocking by means of a handy Activator action. It’s not nearly...

HTCPedia Shop recently came into possession of some photos of the HTC Knight.  The HTC Knight is the codename for the HTC Evo Shift 4G. This smartphone is just the third device to use Sprint 4G, the other two being Samsung Epic 4G and HTC Evo 4G. The phone itself, though, actually looks very slick. Clearly, design points were taken from the EVO 4G. The Evo Shift 4G aka Knight will be smaller than the HTC Evo 4G. However, the Knight...

A couple week’s back, the HTC Evo Shift 4G first showed up in a Best Buy inventory system. Recently, WalMart published a product page for this Sprint’s upcoming WiMAX QWERTY slider. The Sprint HTC Evo Shift 4G is now listed at the Walmart Wireless website alongside its full specs and box contents. Although not mentioned at Walmart, the Evo Shift 4G should have a newer 800MHz Snapdragon like that on the T-Mobile G2. The HTC EVO Shift is...
