CrackBerry.com sends word that some analyst is thinking that if RIM's stock drops low enough, Microsoft will snap them up in a (presumably hostile) acquisition. Didn't we hear this story a year ago? Don't RIM and Microsoft have fundamentally different philosophies about how push email should work? Don't you think that “Microsoft had no comment” can be read as “Psh! Right” instead of...
Those of us who rely on gmail for our everyday communications have a few little gripes when it comes to mobile access — and one big one. That whopper namely comes in gmail's finicky IMAP (wikipedia def) support in that it uses "labels" instead of true folders like the rest of the civilized world. It's not that the labels are evil, it's just that they don't play well outside the Google...
A few weeks ago we paid little lip service to a rumor that Firefox Mobile wouldn't see the light of day until 2010. And it appears we were right, with Mozilla CEOJohn Lilly says "we'll see some alphas in a few weeks." While that doesn't mean we'll be getting our hands on Firefox Mobile anytime soon (think alpha releases, then beta releases, then final product), it's still a lot better...

The big news in smartphone land today is clearly the official announcement of the BlackBerry Storm. Our pals at CrackBerry.com have the full rundown of all you need to know. Here's the short version: It's a touchscreen BlackBerry Right now you're thinking “Uh, yeah, we knew that.” Point is: despite the large capacitive screen and surprisingly easy typing, there's nothing else...
The Duo of Pantech Duo owners (get it?) can finally rejoice because Microsoft is blessing them with 6.1. Don't remember the Duo? We forgive you, but recommend you check out the dual-slider action to get a feel for how its pending replacement will work. We're actually a little surprised to see this dual slider get a 6.1 update, not that we're complaining. We sorta thought the new rule...
We've seen a few shots of the Samsung i770, but none as good as the above, posted at HoFo [via BGR]. The i770 looks to replace the awkward i760 by ditching the slider and going to a front-facing QWERTY. Palm had better try to get the Treo 800w released on Verizon on October 12th as previously rumored, because there's a lot of pent-up demand for a front-facing QWERTY WinMo smartphone...
Motorla has officially launched the Q11 with the specs that we expected: Talk and Standby Time: 450 minutes / 195 hours Bands/Modes: Quad-band GPRS/EDGE Class 10 Camera: 3MP Fixed Focus, LED Flash, 8x Zoom Memory: 128MB Flash, 64 MB RAM, optional microSD card up to 32GB Weight: 115g Dimensions: 117x64x11.7 mm Battery: 1170 mAH MicroUSB/USB 1.1, Bluetooth Class 1 v2.1 Display: 2.4“ 320...

Create a creature and guide it through five stages of evolution. Price: $9.99 from Handango - and hopefully other retailers later. (A dollar off if you're part of "Club Handango.") You can also try it from...
We've known for a while that the HTC Touch Pro is likely going to Alltel. Now it appears that the Touch Diamond see get some love from the little carrier that could. Alltel's Website has a Touch Diamond page up, though it's not yet accessible from from the main phones and devices page. We don't think this is a typo, mistaking the Touch Diamond for the Touch Pro (that darn name game...
If rule No. 1 in business is "Location, location, location," rule No. 2 should be "Your butt better be on time." Consider the following: You're on your way to an important meeting full of important people, but there's just no way you're going to get there on time. If only there were a way to discretely — or, not so discretely — let a colleague know you're on your way, but running...
Speaking of the Touch Diamond, it looks like you can now get it in myriad colors — if you're in France. [via] Will we see these colors (black, fuchsia, white, brown, blue, purple, red and yellow) here? That'll be up to the carriers, unless HTC decides to send us some of that rainbow goodness in an unlocked device. And remember that Sprint worked up a cool red-backed scheme for its...

HTC just broke the horrible news via twitter: sad news, US. we looked into it- by the time we could bring Touch HD to the states, it would be old news. we do have other cool stuff coming In other words, the Touch HD with its gigantic screen, 3.5 mm headset jack, and general iPhone-challenging form factor is going to be import-only for the US and, on top of that, it's likely never...
While the Samsung Omnia sightings are ranking up there with BigFoot, Engadget Mobile is reporting that the mystery may soon be solved. After the Samsung SGH-i907 was given the FCC
It now looks like a couple of HP devices could be getting a resurrection, or at least some resuscitation. Word recently came the the HP Silver is back from the dead, and the Wall Street Journal snuck in a piece describing a Windows Mobile 6.1 device with a touchscreen and keypad that will also soon be coming to Europe. It will get the iPaq branding. The WSJ story doesn't name any...
We've known for a while now that the update to the popular T-Mobile Shadow would be dropping on Oct. 15. We're still expecting it for $149.99 after rebate. We know it will support the T-Mobile @ Home service (UMA, for you acronym-lovers). We're still not sure if it'll have TMo's 3G service. And what we're pretty darn sure of is that the paint job is sexy as hell. Granted, a little of...
";" alt=""> It's been a few days since we've done any drooling over the HTC Touch HD, and that's been long enough. Above is a short promo video [via & via] for the upcoming device — someone get us a date and price already! — that serves to pique our interest that much more. What we'd really like to see is this thing in a few more hands (I'll gladly volunteer if Dieter's busy...
It's good to see some forward movement this week on the Windows Mobile 6.l front, first with the Touch Cruise getting its long-awaited update, and now Canadian carrier Rogers rolling it out for the Samsung Jack — that's Blackjack for the rest of us. [via] That's the good news. The bad news is that this is still a Black-, er, Jack we're talking about, so the upgrade process isn't...
We never thought we'd see the day, but the Sony Ericcson Xperia X1 (we were getting ready to dub it "The Unicorn") has made it through the Federal Communications Commission's testing, reports Cell Phone Signal. And as we suspected, AT&T should be the lucky carrier with this one, given the 850/1900/2100MHz bands. Also confirmed are two versions of the phone - the X1 for Europe, and...
