Although I’m no fan of Big Red AKA Verizon Wireless, I am impressed that they released not only a pretty cool Android phone, they didn’t cripple the WiFi on it like other smartphones they have released. PhoneArena.com has released the most in depth video review of this handset that I’ve seen so far. Hit the jump for more!
HTC was nice enough to hook us up with an HD2 unit a couple of days ago, and we just have to get this out of the way… Wow. This is really Windows Mobile? From the gorgeous 4.3″ capacitive touch display to HTC’s Sense UI, it’s really an amazing handset. The display and HTC’s UI compliment Windows Mobile 6.5’s icon set and honestly, it’s almost usable. Almost. The only thing off the bat we’re not feeling is the viciously sharp bezel around the camera lens. It scratched our desk. We’ll report back with a detailed overview in a bit, but in the meantime, check out some photos after the break!
Nokia’s Maemo-based future has begun: the N900 is shipping. According to Nokia CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, the eagerly awaited handset is now en route to at least some pre-order customers. We’ll soon see if this new generation of Nokia smartphones will be enough to generate the type of mass-market / high-margin appeal that Nokia needs at the top end of its product portfolio or if it’s just a tentative first step on a potentially wobbly new platform.
Update: Nokia’s official blog says to expect the Maemo 5 device to land in “Europe, the Middle-East, Russia and North America” shortly. However, it won’t be compatible with the new 3G SIM cards from 3 in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Denmark and Austria until a software update hits sometime later this year.
via Phone Scoop Today T-Mobile confirmed that it is phasing out its myFaves set of calling plans. The company said in an email to Phone Scoop, “T-Mobile’s new Even More plans, which feature options for unlimited calling, text and data service, have taken the place of myFaves unlimited calling feature. T-Mobile continues to offer the myFaves home screen, at no additional charge, across our broad portfolio of phones as a way for customers to easily connect with their Fave Five through voice, text and e-mail. Also, customers currently subscribing to the myFaves unlimited calling feature can choose to continue to benefit from that plan.” Alltel was first to offer such a calling plan, and called it MyCircle. T-Mobile began offering myFaves in 2006. MyCircle and myFaves were eventually followed by similar offerings from both AT&T (A-List) and Verizon Wireless (re-packaged MyCircle after Alltel acquisition). from T-Mobile more info at Fierce Wireless »
