When the iPhone was originally launched,
Apple negotiated a deal with American telecom company AT&T. In exchange for
exclusive rights to the much sought after iPhone, the cell phone service
provider would accept the high subsidies Cupertino demanded
(a business tactic designed to place more iPhones in the hands of more
consumers and one that would prove quite successful). In Canada, a
year after the original iPhone was launched, a similar deal was struck with the
Rogers Communications. The exclusivity, however, was more a matter fact, then
negotiation. The Great White North, you ...

I have an iPod Touch. And I have a Ericsson
K800i. I sit them on top of one another, in hopes that they will mate. Garmin is about
to test a similar method of conception when they release their GPS-meets-handset nuvifone
G60 in early October. And now there’s Samsung’s SCH-W880 12-megapixel
camera phone, with an AMOLED screen and 3x optical zoom. But is it a match made in
heaven or an unholy union?
Truth be told, a twelve megapixel camera has already been ...

In many ways, the Garmin-Asus nuvifone G60 is the next logical step for cell phones. But, as many early adopters can attest to, it’s not always best to get on board first, especially when you consider that Garmin’s forte has thus far been GPS devices. Still, the G60 packs in the necessary phone features to make a persuasive bid for some gadget consolidation
First and foremost: navigation. ...
You know when the Environmental Protection
Agency is handing out awards to cell phone manufacturers that the green
movement is finally getting some serious traction in consumer electronics. Motorola
announced yesterday that the EPA has handed out their coveted Green Power
Leadership award for 2009. The Kudos is due, in no small part, to Motorola’s
Renew [pictured above]. A cell phone made nearly entirely from recycled plastic bottles.
Carbon-neutral is the name of the game when it comes to the Renew and so Motorola enlisted recycled plastic bottles for the phone’s body and shipped the device ...

The Mogo Talk for the iPhone brings not only a spiffy, sleek, and svelte looking headset but an attaching holster, not unlike a power-pack, that envelopes your touch-screen phone so you can dock the ...

It has the potential to revolutionize the
cell phone industry but for the millions of iPhone owners, it remains out of
arms reach. Just what is Google Voice and what are BlackBerry and Android
owners enjoying and Apple aficionados missing? In order to answer that question we need to ascertain what needs a revolution in the first place.
One of the issues that comes with owning a cell phone is how well it emphasizes that pesky tether between and your landline. And like most denizens of the early 21st century your likely jostling between ...
If staying connected is of the utmost
importance the latest from Nokia is worth a look. On Wednesday the mobile phone
maker unveiled two new handsets at the Nokia World conference in Suttgart, Germany.
Both the N97 Mini and the X6 are touchscreen phones with a heavy focus on
online social interaction.
As you may have deduced, the N97 Mini is a diminutive version of Nokia’s popular N97. Mini approximates to a 3.9-inch screen while maintaining a 16:9 aspect ratio. It still packs a 5-megapixel camera, 8GB of storage, a GPS ...
