Motorola introduces the RAZR2

Tue, 15 May 2007 17:49:00 EST

Well Hello Moto! Motorola has officially announced the awesome Motorola RAZR2, the worthy successor to the most popular cell phone of all time. How did they make it better you ask? Well they've made it leaner and meaner and packed it with goodies! First, the RAZR2 comes in 2mm thinner than the original RAZR. Next, the 2.2 inch main display has twice the resolution of the original RAZR, and the external display has been bumped up to 2 inches. Throw in a stainless steel internal frame for durability, a 2 megapixel camera, a full media player, a full HTML browser, built-in email, point-to-point video, and Google mobile search - and voila - you've got a rockin' RAZR2. The RAZR2 will be available in three versions: the V9 (3G HSDPA), the V9m (EVDO CDMA) and the V8 (GSM). Expect to see the initial GSM versions available in July 2007, with the additional versions to roll out a little later in the year.

Ah yes - Samsung officially released the very cool second generation Samsung Q1 Ultra UMPC on May 7 (exactly one year after the introduction of the original Q1 UMPC) - and the improvements keep coming! In addition to the new design, the wonderful 1024x600 backlit screen, and the nice split QWERTY keyboard, the newest enhancement is the price - starting at a very reasonable $799 for this hot Vista-based handheld device.

Since Sony Ericsson introduced the Cyber-Shot brand of high quality camera phones last year with the K790 and K800, they've shipped over 4.5 million units. So expect the newest successor in the Cyber-shot line, the Sony Ericsson K810, to be a very hot item. The K810 introduces a new design, and a variety of additional features, including illuminated camera icons for quickly setting various camera modes (like picture size and self-timer), and a Photo fix application which helps improve the quality of your photos, even after you have taken them. The K810 has started shipping in Hong Kong. Expect to see it (and the European version Sony Ericsson K810i) shipping to the rest of the world throughout Q2 2007.

BlackBerry 8300 becomes the BlackBerry Curve

Thu, 3 May 2007 16:14:00 EST

We love it when BlackBerry comes up with cool names for their hot new devices. They first did it with the 8100, naming it the Pearl - and they've done it again with the brand new BlackBerry 8300, calling it the BlackBerry Curve. The Curve is a fantastic new smartphone, their smallest and lightest smartphone to date to sport a full QWERTY keyboard, and the first BlackBerry to have a full keyboard and a camera (coming in at 2 megapixels). The Curve is packed with media and web features, including a music player, a full screen video player, and an HTML web browser. The media software on the Curve has also been updated to make it easier to navigate and search for all of your media files. The hot new BlackBerry Curve will be available worldwide this spring.

If there's anything we like more than a hot new music phone - it's one that rocks with a nice low price. Sprint has lowered the price of the new Samsung Upstage to a very nice $99.99 (with $50 rebate) - squarely putting this still very hot new phone within reach of just about everyone. We really like the new form factor introduced by the Upstage - a standard phone interface on one side, and an MP3 player interface on the other side - and with the 99 cent music downloads available from the Sprint Music Store, the market for this slick device is sure to take off.
