Samsung SCH-i760 spied on Verizon’s site

 

The handset formerly known as I can do it all, is now up on Verizon’s — in some half-hidden way — site. Of course, we’re jumping the gun on this one — as we always do — as the only thing this little bit of info brings is confirmation for the posts we have put up in the past. We’re expecting more details soonish on this hot little — though arguably ugly — Windows Mobile 6 slider, and will throw em up just as soon as we get something useful, like a date and price.

The PEBL lives: Motorola to add ROKR U9

Though the original PEBL didn’t get quite the love Motorola may have liked (Maria Sharapova special edition notwithstanding), it seems they’re looking to give it at least one more go with the upcoming U9 model. Presumably designed to slot in alongside the RAZR 2 V8 / V9 models, Phone Scoop reports that the U9 will be ROKR branded, indicating a strong music tie-in.

Of course, this completely conceptual device is highly unlikely to hit production (at least in first-world nations), but there’s still something about a transforming mobile that whips out a set of chainguns and walks on its own that would convince us to pick one up. Intrigued? It gets better — hit the read link to see this monster in action.

HANDS-ON: T-Mobile MDA Vario III aka HTC Kaiser

Not that I had my quality time today with T-Mobile’s latest Windows Mobile smartphone, the T-Mobile MDA Vario III (also known as HTC Kaiser) but today, during a press event here in Munich, I had the chance to get my hands on a pretty final looking device. So what’s the T-Mobile MDA Vario III is about? Basically it will replaces T-Mobile’s MDA Vario II later this year (planned launch is still September) and since it’s based on HTC’s Kaiser reference design, most features like Windows Mobile 6 Professional, quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and triband UMTS/HSDPA are already known (T-Mobile again confirmed that the MDA Vario III doesn’t includes HSUPA or HSDPA 7.2).

Therefore let us go with some hands-on shots, we’ve spoken about the device enough already:
