T-Mobile Wing hands-on

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Filed under: Cellphones, Features, Handhelds
var digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/gadgets/T_Mobile_Wing_Hands_On’; The T-Mobile Wing is a Windows Mobile 6 phone, alright — and the specs aren’t anything to write home about, especially not for $400. 200MHz CPU, EDGE data, QVGA display. And yet we find ourselves mysteriously attracted to the T-Mobile Wing. It’s nigh-sticky [...]

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Filed under: Cellphones var digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/gadgets/Motorola_Z8_used_on_Mount_Everest_to_make_a_call’; He did it, British climber Rod Baber made a cell mobile phone (apparently using a MOTORIZR Z8, not a satellite phone) call from the top of Mount Everest.

Apple iPhone on AT&T for five years?

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Filed under: Cellphones var digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/apple/Apple_iPhone_on_AT_T_for_five_years’; There are carrier exclusivity agreements, and there are carrier exclusivity agreements — and Apple’s iPhone deal must have been pretty sweet for Cupertino to guarantee their new hotness to AT&T and AT&T alone for five friggin years. USA Today reports the supposed half-decade deal precludes Apple from [...]

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Filed under: Cellphones, Portable Video
Once again, we tip our hats to the FCC, which today made public Motorola’s new and unannounced MOTORIZR Z6tv slider handset. Equipped with EV-DO, a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, 2.5mm jack, and delicious MediaFLO V CAST Mobile TV, if you’re Motosexual this might be one to keep an eye out for. [...]

Pandora’s music streaming gets mobile with Sprint

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Filed under: Cellphones, Portable Audio
Pandora’s tumultuous penchant for locking out US-based listeners based on licensing messes (thanks, RIAA) has taken a back seat to its new over-the-air launch with Sprint. While AT&T customers have had MobiRadio for years, Sprint customers tired of streaming Sirius will have a new reason to use that wireless data for [...]

Nissan NA warns that cellphones could disable intelligent keys

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Filed under: Cellphones, TransportationFor proud owners of Nissan’s newest Altima or Infiniti’s G35 sedan, we certainly hope you don’t habitually stuff your shiny new I-Key in the same pocket as that diminutive handset, or you may return from your next stop to find yourself totally immobile.

RAZR 2 V8 gets hands-on review

Monday, May 28th, 2007

Filed under: Cellphones
MobileBurn got themselves a hands-on with the hot new Motorola RAZR 2 V8 — if you don’t think it’s hot, at least admit that it’s what the original RAZR should have been. The most notable change is obvious, and very welcome: no more hump, chin, or lump used to accommodate the chunky internals. [...]

While the hardware has been covered ad nauseam, the $199 price point — if you sign a new 2 year [...]
