New tidbits include a 333 Mhz processor, 4.4.1 x 2.28 x 0.73-inch dimensions, 320 x 320 pixel screen, and a weight of 4.94 […]

Motorola so had this down pat last year, but we suppose O2 is just showcasing its pedal-powered charging system now that such devices are all the rage. Just days after we had a look at two unorthodox chargers from Orange, along comes rival O2 with a bicycle-related alternative. Reportedly, the eco-friendly device will […]

Money-losing companies with interesting technology and a small, if rabid, customer base still frequently tend to sell for healthy chunks of change — especially in the wireless space.

Look, we’ve heard our fair share of PSP phone rumors, and there’s really no reason to trust this one any further than your average baseless musings, but if Marketing Week’s “sources in Japan and Korea” can be trusted, Sony’s PSP phone could be hitting shelves as soon as Christmas 2009.

According to reports, honcho Ed Colligan boasted of a 29 percent gain in smartphone sales year-over-year, largely in part to the stellar performance of the company’s budget-priced (with contract) Centro.

The question on quite literally every WinMo fanatic’s mind as we go into the second half of the year here is, “Touch Pro or X1?” It’s not an easy question to answer, and anyone hoping to sink some cash on either one of these models in a few months is going to […]

Though they’ve already been well documented (heck, they’re already on sale in some parts of the world), Nokia’s just now getting around to making its foursome of Supernovas official.

Who would’ve thought that rumored iControl app would not only turn out to be real, but survive the inevitable internal politics, delays, and feature cutbacks to make it all the way through to a summer release?
