The saga of the Meizu M8 is one of the more entertaining dramas in the phone biz these days, owing partly to the endless delays and tweaks, granted — but owing much more to the truly masterful ripping of the iPhone’s industrial design. Unfortunately, there’s been very little actual bite to follow […]

Notice that your freshly-purchased N75 smells more like a week-old head of cabbage than a bundle of grade new plastic, glue, and circuitry? That’s gross, and no, we don’t want to touch it (seriously, get that thing away from us). Turns out you may not be alone, though — a new class-action […]

Not that we’d view the actual Touch Diamond as IF or anything, but the Diamond J6 is more along the lines of I3. In all seriousness, that thing isn’t too far from being spot-on identical (maybe it’s an HTC thing?), with a 2.8-inch display, built-in camera, multimedia player, Bluetooth and a microSD card […]

We spent most of the weekend putting the iPhone 3G’s battery life (and to a lesser extent, MobileMe implementation) to the test, and we’ve got far more encouraging results to report back than we had on day one. Pretty much everything we’ve found thus far jibes with Apple’s claims, whether not exceeds them. […]

We just happened to be in Sao Paulo, Brazil, that week and when the news popped up that a group of Brazilians had unlocked the iPhone 3G, we just had to pop in to say hi. Like the Turbo SIM unlock for the original iPhone, that system uses a wafer-thin card that piggybacks […]

Don’t act like you didn’t know that Pope Benedict XVI was down with modern technology. As part of World Youth Day, the man himself will start sending out texts of encouragement to pilgrims who have signed up through Telstra to receive them. A total of four gigantic “prayer walls” have been erected at […]
Samsung Europe expands its budget S-Series digital cameras. The new model S1070 is a 10.2 megapixels camera equipped with a 3x optical (35-105mm at 35mm) zoom lens, a step down from the 5x optical zoom lens on the previous model S1060. Furthermore, the S1070 features an “intelligent” 2.7 inch LCD monitor, which adjusts brightness of […]
Samsung announces four new digital cameras and introduces somewhat confusing changes in its camera naming convention. Two new members of the NV-Series, the NV9 and NV100 HD have been introduced in the US as the TL9 and TL34HD. At the same moment Samsung unveils two new members of its L-Series or S-Series as the L310W […]
