Motorola preps Android "social smartphone"
Over the last couple of months, Motorola has been showing to carriers a bunch of specs and pictures of a touchscreen phone based on the Android platform. The phone will apparently take some of the design cues from the “Krave” (pictured above) which was released in the States last week…
HP to release touchscreen iPAQ smartphone for consumers
Following Apple’s lead in the “laptop companies starting to make phones” stakes, the Wall Street Journal are reporting that HP are going to launch a Windows Mobile 6.1-powered smartphone in Europe within the next two months…
Another Asus smartphone on the way?
Rumour has it that Taiwanese gadget powerhouse Asus are planning another smartphone – and this comes literally only days after it unveiled the P552w to the world. The rumour seems pretty solid too, on account of there being leaked pictures of the device. Further rumours suggesting that the Asus factory is expanding by an area the size of Wales every day to accommodate Asus’s massive and growing product line are said to be wide of the mark…
HTC Touch HD: mobile Internet and entertainment handset coming this Winter
HTC has announced its latest handset, the Touch HD, which boasts a 3.8-inch wide touchscreen display, five megapixel camera, expandable memory, and TouchFLO 3D user interface.
Big handsets with large screen real estate have grown in popularity since the likes of the iPhone and Viewty, and this is surely HTC’s most convincing competition yet.
This 3G phone can utilise HSDPA at up to 7.2Mbps where available, plus Wi-Fi. The HTC TouchFLO 3D interface sits on top of Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. There’s 512MB of internal Flash memory and 288MB of RAM, plus microSD/SDHC memory card expansion…
Asus P552w smartphone not just another variation of the Eee PC
Another day, another Asus product announcement – but here’s a surprise: The smart phone it has announced isn’t branded as part of the Eee range, despite there being scope for calling it the Eee-T as you can use it to “phone home”.
The Asus P552w looks pretty nice though – it’s an entirely touch screen device, as seems to be the trend these days and apparently boasts a new navigation system called “Glide” – which looking at the screenshot on the photo, it looks to me that it may act a bit like iPod coverflow…
RIM announce the flippin' Blackberry Pearl 8220
This is the new Blackberry Pearl smartphone from RIM, and *gasp* it’s a flip! Previous candybar models in the Pearl range have attempted to marry a full qwerty keyboard into a smaller form factor than other Blackberry models, creating a Blackberry/regular phone hybrid, but this is RIM’s first go at putting it into a flip phone…
Shiny Video: Preview of Palm Treo Pro
In the video above, Zara gets her hands on the brand new Treo Pro from Palm which we’ve covered previously. It’s the first phone from palm that really looks *good*, and on top of that it’s got a touchscreen and a 3.5″ headphone jack.
Really rather pretty Palm Treo Pro accidentally unveiled
Yesterday, a couple of flash pages popped up on the Palm website detailing the Treo Pro. The pages have now been taken down, but the intrepid hunter who tracked it down grabbed the screenshot above before it died…

The Korean market has seen two new smartphone launches from Samsung – the Ultra Messaging II (SCH-M480) and Multi Touch II (SPH-M4655)…
BenQ eyes up the BlackBerry market with their E72 Windows Mobile 6 smartphone
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a BenQ product, but the company has come out in top form with the launch of the E72 smartphone. Running on Windows Mobile 6, it’s aimed at the low-end market.
One attractive feature about the E72 is that it’s the first mobile with an integrated IM client that will allow you to chat on MSN Messenger, Gtalk, Yahoo, ICQ, AOL and Jabber. Whilst it lacks 3G internet capabilities, it does have Wi-Fi for browsing in your local hot-spot, and the usual WM6 programs, such as Outlook email…
