We know it’s been a whirlwind week of either: a) patiently sitting outside your local Apple store, b) losing touch with family, friends, and significant others while buried knee-deep in your new phone / firmware, or c) desperately trying to disregard the iPhone. But it’s moment to come up for air and take […]

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.

Tech firms seem to have that uncanny ability to significantly boost functionality while significantly reducing cost with each new generation of a product — and you’ll never believe this, but it looks like Apple is no exception. The teardown and bean-counting experts by at iSuppli are at it again with the iPhone […]
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 […]

iPhone unlocking is a little more cash-intensive now that Apple and AT&T are all contract-happy with the 3G, but it looks like would-be unlockers will have a little more moment to save up those pennies — the erstwhile hackers on the iPhone Dev Team say that while a forthcoming version of the sadly-named […]
