Blackberry Bold release date delayed?

by Joshua Topolsky, posted Jun 25th 2008 @ 11:05AM


According to reports crossing the wires this morning, Research In Motion is expected to delay the release of its next-gen BlackBerry Bold. The Boy Genius is claiming that software issues, battery life problems, and overheating are causing the hold-up, which will move the street date back to mid-August as opposed to the presumed July release on AT&T. There's been no confirmation from RIM on the news, but that's not stopping analysts from predicting the move will lower the company's second quarter earnings outlook. We're pretty sure it'll make businessmen with twitchy thumbs none-too-happy as well.

Samsung Instinct available June 20th for $129.99, strings attached

by Joshua Topolsky, posted Jun 18th 2008 @ 9:47AM Breaking News


In a move that Sprint clearly hopes will fuel the iPhone vs. Instinct fires, the company today announced that it would be selling its lauded touchscreen phone starting June 20th for a price point of just $129.99. Of course, that takes into account a new two-year contract and $100 mail-in rebate, but it still comes in lower than the expected $199.99 price tag we'd been hearing about. Oddly, to activate the phone Sprint stipulates that you have to choose one of their unlimited data plans -- which start at a minimum of $69.99 per month (with 450 minutes of talk-time) -- so monthly costs hover right on level with AT&T's iPhone options... unsurprisingly.

Nokia's E-series to ship in Q3 alongside N96

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 9th 2008 @ 10:03AM Breaking News


You already knew Nokia's evolutionary N96 was all set to be shipped in the fall, but it's about time Nokia came clean with the release information on its leaked-out-everywhere E-series. While Anssi Vanjoki, senior executive vice president of Nokia Markets, didn't specify model numbers, it's widely assumed that the E66 and E71 handsets are included when he states that "a group of E-series multimedia computers" will be brought to market in Q3. No mention of a price or expected launch regions, but at least you've a quarter to circle in your date book, yeah?

LG's Decoy gets priced, set for June 16th release

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 2nd 2008 @ 12:23AM


Seems that rumored June release window for LG's VX8610 (Decoy) was right on. phoneArena has it that the peculiar slider will be launching just over a fortnight from now on June 16th, and if you're looking to get one with a 2-year contract, the pricing isn't so bad ($179). It also mentions a $249 post-rebate price with a 1-year agreement and a $349 sticker if you aren't signing any dotted line other than the credit card receipt. Guess it's wait-and-see from here, yeah?

Sony Ericsson's XPERIA X1 delayed until next year? We think (hope) not

by Chris Ziegler, posted Mar 2nd 2008 @ 3:40PM


A table of release dates dug up on Sony Ericsson's own site suggests something powerfully depressing, which is that the XPERIA X1 has been pushed all the way out to February 10, 2009 (notice that the date is in European format -- we'd just give up now if it were actually October 2, 2009). While the presence of the page on the company's very own domain is pretty damning evidence, we're still holding out hope that it's a typo or an oversight; late Q2 of '08 was mentioned at MWC, and we really don't see how it's possible to push out a phone nearly three-quarters of a year just weeks after its initial announcement. Please tell us we're right on this one, Sony Ericsson. Please.
