We just saw pics of a 5MegaPixel Motorola phone surface and simultaneously get torn apart for its failure to deliver auto-focus as a camera feature. Looks like LG might have your alternative.
The LG KC550 is touted as a 5 MegaPixel camera phone WITH autofocus – the cheapest of its kind on the LG product line. [...]

Remember that Motorola and Kodak 5 MegaPixel phone slated to come out? Well, someone got their hands on one… but is it what everyone expected?
No. Because it’s not the ZN5 (or Zine) at all. It’s a totally new phone we have not seen before. One dead giveaway was the slider. The other dead giveaway? How [...]

While the race to make the best, smallest, most feature packed sleek device continues, it’s nice to see that companies aren’t ignoring other markets. The baby boomer generation represents the largest portion of the population and AT&T and Pantech don’t intend to miss out on offering them what they need as they get older.

The Pantech [...]

So the recent release of the HTC Cubic Zirconia was all but ignored considering that the HTC Diamond is well on its way to becoming one of the top tier powerhouses in the mobile world.
Well, for folks who feel the same way and are eager for the Diamond to hit the streets, we wanted to [...]

Until the Diamond is released, everything coming out of HTC (minus an Android Phone) is nothing more than a second rate wannabe – sorry ’bout it. That’s why the recently revealed HTC P3400i is nothing more than Cubic Zirconia.

For mobile fans, you want to just move past the news until the Diamond drops, but in [...]

Perfect weather meant less computer for a lot of folks celebrating Memorial Day… including us. We thought we catch up, and fill you in on, some of the weekend’s mobile stories. Just a heads up – we didn’t miss much!

N-Gage to N-Rage back to N-Gage: Nokia’s gaming service suffered an online backlash as word got [...]

Sprint has confirmed that the Samsung Instinct will be available soon… very soon!
With an e-mail update from the folks at Sprint, we learn that “Slow Ends This June”. Other sources are confirming that the phone will be available in June… June 20th to be exact.
We’re thinking a lot of Sprint folks have been waiting for [...]

BlackBerry fans might like to see a little Bold action. Howard Chui from HowardForums got his hands on a device and shows off some of the basic elements of the handset. He’ll wait until he gets a product version for a full review.
Until then:

UPDATE:
BlackBerry Bold vs. iPhone Video

We’re always excited to hear about announcements of new handsets – but 16?!??!
Some fairly credible documents have popped up that suggest an outrageous pace of handsets for release in the upcoming months. Here are the releases as announced by TMoNews.com:

1. Nokia 5310
2. Nokia 5610
3. Shadow II
4. Nokia 2760
5. Nokia 1208
6. Nokia 6301
7. Shadow III (Damn, [...]

For only $5,000 a Christian Dior Branded phone could be yours. Personally, if we had $5,000 to drop for the fun of it, we’d be much more likely to scoop a big screen TV, Wii, XBox 360 and PS3 with a handful of sick games and lock ourselves indoors for a few days.
Then again, if [...]

The moment you’ve been waiting for is coming on June 9th and you heard it here… second.
Gizmodo is reporting that on June 9th, Apple will announce the 3G version of the Apple iPhone during their keynote at WWDC. But announcing it isn’t all they will do – the 3G iphone will be available for purchase [...]

Mobile devices do a lot more than make phone calls these days, but this announcement is pretty incredible. Later THIS YEAR, handsets will be released with PROJECTION capabilities embedded.
No more hauling a laptop around to give that PowerPoint Presentation to the board of Directors – just whip your phone out of your pocket and set [...]

Ooh La La… the HTC Touch Diamond is looking better with each and every passing day. When the (somewhat) mysterious product was announced, many were disappointed HTC’s forthcoming Android phone wasn’t the cause, but these pictures are making us feel a lot better about the whole thing.
Diamonds may be forever, but when does forever start?

It might just be rumor, but InfoSyncWorld has definitive dates, prices and carrier info for the upcoming BlackBerry Bold. Here’s what you should know:

AT&T in July, $300
T-Mobile in September, $350
Verizon Wireless in September, $300
Sprint in September, $300

We’re not sure why T-Mobile is pricing it at $50 more, but apparently neither is anybody else.

Sprint has been somewhat shunned for dropping a cool million on a Sprint Instinct vs. Apple iPhone campaign with the purposes of proving it can unseat the iPhone based on performance. The problem is that half the iPhone’s glory stems from intangible, perception based affection.
The ease of use. The Apple brand. The App Store. The [...]

We have to give Emir Rafat, designer of the Packet Phone, credit for his innovation. The fact is, it is hard to be innovative when the best devices are kept ultra simple with a touch screen and nothing more. We credit him for his creativity and imagination.
But if his concept were reality it would spell [...]

On May Fourteenth Two-Thousand Eight, we learned of Mobile T.V.’s fate.
Don’t ask us why we just broke into rhyme. For some reason the recent Press Release from LG, the one where they submitted an official proposal to adopt governmental mobile TV Standards, it reminded us of the Columbus sailed the Ocean Blue thing. Anyways…
The proposal [...]

Google has announced the 50 Winners of Android Developer Challenge Round 1. Well… okay, we lied. They only announced 46 because 4 of the lucky 50 wanted their applications kept secret. Those buggers!
Here is the announcement form Google: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2008/05/top-50-applications.html
But below, we’ve published a more exhaustive list from Phandroid.com that has links and descriptions for most [...]

The rumors have been confirmed by Blackberry with an official announcement and full website feature for their brand new product: The Blackberry Bold 9000! It’s looking like AT&T will roll it out in the summer and T-Mobile will follow.
Their marketing folks took a trip to clicheville with their opening promo copy: “Be Bold. Accept no [...]

A couple reliable sources (Crackberry, BGR) are speculating that the name of the much awaited (and awaited, and awaited) Blackberry 9000 could be the Blackberry BOLD. Or is it Bold, Bold or BOLD?
Kevin Michaluk from Crackberry.com initially “broke” the news and is determined that the phone will go by the name BOLD. His evidence?

RIM has [...]
