But, then again, this is APRIL 1. Via Update:

And you thought the OS X in iPhone was brilliant. Danny Dumas reports that the CTIA will be host to several mobile manufacturers attempting to entice the public with their SOFTWARE. Not hardware like touchscreens and phone cameras. Smart is definitely in and manufacturers like Nokia are going crazy...

Palm may have a real iPhone killer in its hands. Maybe it's the cheap retail price ($99.9) or maybe it's the form factor, the Centro being the smallest Palm smartphone to date. Whatever the reasons, Centro is definitely a hot item in the ten countries where it is distributed. One possible reason for...

Another black eye for Bell Canada thanks to media relations employee Jason Laszlo and his rather cavalier Facebook privacy settings. From Remarkk Blog: Laszlo made a real boner move, boasting on Facebook of his ability to snow journalists with his network management bafflegab, referring to...

Remember the sleek Nokia 6300 released last May by Fido? Nokia has added an "i" on the phone's nbame and VoIP calling to go with it. Ther phone has a price tag of 175 euros and this phone becomes even cheaper if you're around a WiFi hotspot. There's a dedicated VoIP and WLAN icons and VoIP, mobile...

It's been a while since I've worn a Red Tab Levi's jeans (you'd know them from their, er red tab), and I'm just about ready to get one of their cellphones if it comes sans the chain. The Red Tab version is the same LS01 phone, a re-labeling of the Samsung P300. The phone does not have the...

That the BlackBerry 9000 will have WiFi and HSDPA is good enough news for me, but a new and improved user interface? In Engadget's words: The real kicker, though, might be the beautiful user interface, which has been totally revamped from the ground up; gone is the cartoonish look and feel of the...

The source of this rumor is a bit strange. Cnmo.com, a Chinese site, doesn't exactly fit the bill as a reliable source for Apple news. To be fair, Cnmo isn't exactly telling us that Microsoft IDS developing a version of MS Office for the iPhone's touch screen GUI. There are two things the site...

The A1600 Motorola MING 2 is officially a dual-SIM phone and has been upgraded to A1800. The A1800 is the CDMA/quadband GSM version of MING 2, which means this phone is true world phone. This might also mean that the MING 2 may find its way to the U.S. after all, even if its predecessor is strictly...

Apple is planning the iPhone to be your ultimate all-around gadget. Aren't cellphones already the ultimate all-around gadget, you might ask? Well, if you know anything about Apple, you'd know that (first) they never do the usual thing and (second) Apple prefers to change the game rather than ride...

This is not confirmed and it's a tad optimistic even for Apple. Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney heard rumors about the number of these 3G iPhones Apple has supposedly ordered from suppliers. If you remember, one reason why Apple did not include 3G in first-gen iPhones is the ability of 3G operation to...

Moto will now be two public companies instead of one. The handset division and the Broadband & Mobility Solutions operations will be separate companies. We're not sure if there will be re-branding of the two separate entities. Motorola tried selling but there have been takers. Splitting the company...

Koreans are the leading innovators in handset manufacturing and they took it upon themselves to apply this Japanese concept into producing an actual phone model. The theory is that since we always have our cellphones in hand, why not give it a more comfortable exterior. Plastic is okay and metal...

I know this is a blog about handsets, but Eee PC is big news and Eee PC woth touch screen is even bigger news. For those of you who haven't heard of the Eee PC, it is a sub-notebook manufactured by Asus. This laptop is so small it only has a 7-inch screen and a keyboard the size of a big hand. Other...

Motorola has dropped another RAZR and dropped the "A" as well in the process. Welcome the Motorola RZR V3s, a phone which will have the honor of being a pioneer in AWS support. AWS is the acronym for Advanced Wireless Spectrum, which adds the 1700MHz spectrum to CDMA networks. That's besides the...

China is leaving other cellphone-manufacturing countries in the dust announcing the I-Coloured ZJ268 phone, which has a stand-by time of 666 days. Say what? Theoretically, the ZJ268 (powered by a 32,800mAh "super battery") only needs one full charge, given that most people (at least those I know...

Need a low-priced cellphone? Virgin has an irresistible in the UK beginning this Easter. The Fly SX200 is a tri-band slider with VGA camera. There is stereo Bluetooth and you get 512 MB of memory and an expandable slot, MP3 player, video recorder and FM tuner. It's a full-featured handset at a price...

Motorola has been late in the megapixel wars so let us hope the MotoZine camera phone can compete with Noki and Samsung. The MotoZine was announced late last year but we knew it then as the Z12. Now we know Motorola uses a Kodak camera (up to 1920×2560 pixels) on this one but what we did not know...

Qantas and Emirates will spearhead the brave new world of in-flight cellphone use. Qantas has been testing cellphone usage on an aircraft for nine months. They studied passenger reaction to cellphone use as well as if email and texting interferes with flight technology. Apparently, there are no...

As you may know, the United States FCC has retired a large portion of the spectrum that has been dedicated to analog, the now famous 700mhz spectrum or "C" block. This is prime real estate for wireless providers and there were many bidders. The smoke has cleared and Verizon has emerged the winner,...
