The web site of Palm’s affiliated software store has posted pictures of the Palm Treo 680 and the Palm Treo 750 with Cingular branding. There are however no other bits of information as part of this slip.
T-Mobile USA is now offering the Samsung SGH-t719. Although most people would not consider this a smartphone, it nevertheless offers support for RIM’s BlackBerry Connect service, bringing users access to push email.
It uses a clamshell design, with a small grayscale exterior screen, and a 2.2-inch, 176-by-220-pixel color display on the inside.

Last week Cingular announced their new 3125 clamshell style smartphone. On the exterior, it looks like a Motorola RAZR. But internally it more resembles the popular 2125. Could this be a good replacement for the 2125? I cannot say, but what I can and will say is that it is all a matter of preference. Some people prefer a clamshell style phone. It is smaller, lighter and looks sleek. While on the other hand, a candy bar style phone is a lot better to grab especially for those of us with bigger hands. Regardless, with the sucess of the Motorola RAZR I can safely predict that the Cingular 3125 will sell very well.
First of all, a BIG THANKS, again, to Ka Wang Yee of JAVOEdge, for providing me with the JAVOMeta Charger bundle (US) for the Palm Treo 650 for review, which without it, this review could not have been made possible. It arrived a week later after it was shipped via USPS, which was the same shipping time as with the JAVOHolster, which I previously reviewed here.
As promised last week, T-Mobile USA is now offering RIM’s latest smartphone, the BlackBerry Pearl.
Even though this is a smartphone, not one of RIM’s larger cellular-wireless handhelds, it still breaks new ground for this company, as it is its first model of any kind with support for playing music and displaying video.
As part of this, the Pearl offers a host of new features never before found on a BlackBerry.
Microsoft announced their entry into the “mobile audio player war” yesterday. Armed to the teeth with their Zune, Microsoft is aiming at Apple’s iPod division. So what does this mean for you as a consumer? Well right now you are either 1. sick and tired of reading about this device, or 2. sick and tired of reading so little information available on this device. Well the following should make your life easier.
A very interesting and informative article written by Ed Hardy at Brighthand.com.
Mobile security software provider Trust Digital recently performed an experiment. Company engineers bought ten mobile devices on eBay and looked to see how much of the previous owner’ information was still left on them.
As it turns out, they found a very large amount.
These devices yielded nearly 27,000 pages of personal and corporate data. This included personal banking and tax information, corporate sales activity notes, corporate client records, product roadmaps, contact address books, phone and Web logs, calendar records, personal and business correspondence, computer passwords, user medication information, and other private, competitive, or potentially damaging material.
The first thing I noticed when I put the skin on my SDA was the feel - I loved the soft rubber feel of it. I was concerned that the rubber might be susceptible to accumulating dust really quickly, but the opposite is true. Even in my lint-filled jeans pocket, it stays clean. Another nice benefit, if you’re like me, was that the phone no longer falls sideways in your pocket, but stays upright as I want it to. Sounds like a small thing, but it makes a huge comfort difference when you always have your phone in your front jeans pocket.
Sprint PCS has recently launched the Treo 700wx, an improved version of a smartphone that debuted earlier this year.
The most significant enhancement in the latest model is more RAM, which means that the 700wx can run more applications simultaneously. This is a nice change to what was already a good device.
I’ve only had this smartphone for a short time, but I still wanted to share my first impressions of it.
