The new BlackBerry has been officially announced. It is called Bold and 9000 as we've heard. Specs are quite impressive and I can't wait the summer to try one. Let's recap:
Almost a month ago we posted one of the first Sony Ericsson BeiBei leaked photos. As far as we know, the upcoming device will run the latest version of UIQ (3.3) on top of Symbian OS, and will also boast such things as some camera (we're not sure about the megapixel count), WiFi and Bluetooth. We would certainly like to see HSDPA on the list too, but we're not sure about that one either. It's likely the Swedish-Japanese handset maker won't market the BeiBei as a smartphone — rather, they'll probably sell it to all round feature phone users, which want an extra function or two from time to time. They're already using the same/similar concept with the G700 and G900 models. In that sense, Sony Ericsson may have a winner with the BeiBei. What follows are several pics of the upcoming device, as well as four screenshots. Enjoy!

RemoteNote allows users to view and edit their iPhone notes from a web browserPosted by: admin in Mobile News
If you don't own a Mac, but always wanted to be able to manage your iPhone Notes from a Computer, you obviously couldn't do it. Both MegaPhone (former iPhoneDrive) and iPhoneNotes are Mac only apps. That has just changed… Thanks to the new native app called RemoteNote - all users, no matter which OS they're running on their desktop computer, can view and edit notes on their iPhone. The application relies on the WiFi hotspot and grants you to remotely connect to your iPhone and change notes from a web browser. All web browsers are supported — including Safari, IE, Firefox and Opera — but it is required, though, that you’ve Adobe Flash Player installed. In addition, your iPhone needs to be jailbroken as well as Jiggy Runtime installed. Both RemoteNote and Jiggy Runtime are available from Installer.app. [Via: LifeHacker] —

T-Mobile USA Tops JD Power Retail Sales Satisfaction Survey - T-Mobile #1Posted by: admin in Mobile News
JD Power and Associates has just release their first volume of the 2008 US Wireless Retail Sales Satisfaction Survey. The survey was conducted between September 2007 and January 2008 with 6,634 participants. T-Mobile has risen to the top as the #1 US carrier as the US wireless industry as a whole has declined in overall customer satisfaction. “Overall customer satisfaction with retail service has steadily declined as wireless service becomes increasingly widespread, and as products and services have evolved in complexity,” according to Kirk Parsons, senior director of wireless services at J.D. Power and Associates. T-Mobile took the top spot in the JD Power survey in terms of retail sales staff, store display, store facility, and prices/promotions. Sales staff and store displays were ranked especially high for T-Mobile. Alltel took a close second spot and Verizon Wireless trails in third position. [Via: Mobile Burn] —
Sony Ericsson has opened a new flagship store in Taiwan. The grand opening took place today (May 10th) and the ceremony included tons of promo materials for the first visitors, including SE branded bikes and towels. Hmm, why do we care about the promo materials. Guess they just make the scene more compelling and the brand more trustworthy in the eyes of consumers. Anyway, the Swedish-Japanese handset maker also decided to use the space surrounding the store, hence not only the store visitors, but also the people walking nearby will certainly spot somewhat annoying Sony Ericsson signs and ads. However, the new store keeps the same look and feel as other SE stores around the world. And now more pics.

Yesterday, we posted information about the upcoming BlackBerry 9000. According to Boy Genius, we should anticipate the official announcement to take place on Monday, May 12th at WES 2008. Now, a new tidbit of information suggests the upcoming smartphone will be called “Bold.” If that's the case, I guess we will see more “Bold” versions, like for example Bold 9310 or Bold 9210 with each of them sporting either WiFi, GPS, or both. In addition, let's not forget two different radio versions — CDMA/EV-DO and GSM/HSDPA, and of course the “Bold global” version which would supersede the 8800 series. We'll certainly have more information on Monday, if the previously posted rumor proved to be true. And I think it will. Stay tuned… [Via: Boy Genius Report] —

Sony Ericsson R300 Radio, C902 Cyber-shot get FCC approvalPosted by: admin in Mobile News
Two Sony Ericsson phones have been spotted passing the so called FCC hurdle - the R300 Radio and C902 Cyber-shot. The first one is designed for developing countries to allow users to take radio (both AM and FM) with them, where ever they’re. The other, more interesting device is the latest and baddest Cyber-shot phone so far - C902. As you're probably aware, this face-detection baby packs 5 megapixel camera into a stylish slim casing and we love it for that. Now the question is when we'll see the mentioned two devices hitting the U.S. market. Honestly, we don't have a clue. As a matter of fact, we don't even know whether the Swedish-Japanese handset maker will ever push them to North American consumers. We certainly hope that will be the case with the C902 model, but our hope isn't actually something you can count on… [Via: MobileBurn] —
When you're in Japan, handset makers are fine-tuning their products to meet the high-tech needs of advanced Japanese mobile phone users. That being stated, NTT DoCoMo announced it is working alongside LG to develop the new Prada phone. From what we have the ability to tell, aside from the 7.2Mbps HSDPA support, the device is pretty much the same as the original Prada phone, boasting 2 megapixel camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lens and 3-inch touchscreen. Hopefully, we're missing something and the new Prada phone will also come with some other, still unannounced features like let's state WiFi support. Interested users will have to wait till June, when DoCoMo vowed to release the device. —
