Finally, 3G: AT&T picking up Sony Ericsson Z750a, K850a?

It looks like Sony Ericsson may be taking a slightly more high-road approach to its first 3G handsets for North America than Nokia did with the N95, pairing up with AT&T all official-like for the Z750a and K850a. This inventory sheet, apparently off of an AT&T system, indicates as much — and yes, we realize it’s totally Photoshoppable, but the Z750 and K850 both seem like obvious additions for the carrier, don’t they? Sony Ericsson could try to sell the phones directly through SonyStyle as it does with other models, but you figure that if they’re going to put the effort into finally adding North American 3G, they’re going to try to go big by launching it in AT&T stores. With a 5 megapixel camera on the K850, who’s complaining?

Microsoft Phone Patent Looks Just Like the iPhone

In a patent filed this July, Microsoft wanted to stake their claim to a new interface for use on a touchscreen in a mobile device. The patent, entitled “Extensible filtered lists for mobile device user interface” looks kind of familiar… where have I seen it before? Oh, right. It’s the iPhone’s exact interface.

LG Shine, Prada coming to AT&T as Vu, Vu2?

 

If the iPhone is AT&T’s cake, its own version of the LG Prada may very well be the icing. Gizmodo has scored shots of what appears to be LG’s high-end, touchable superphone running AT&T firmware that’s clearly been tweaked for the better from the original KE850 (better web browser, please!). Don’t expect to stuff stockings with this one, though — despite earlier rumors that it might squeeze in by December, we’re hearing that AT&T and LG are targeting a Q1 ‘08 release for the device, apparently called the “Vu2.” If there’s a Vu2, there’s gotta be a Vu, right? Indeed, it turns out that AT&T’s Shine will bear the moniker when it gets released. The carrier had originally targeted September for the Vu, but that obviously didn’t happen; word on the street is that they’re back in the labs tweaking the user interface as we speak and we haven’t heard when a launch might actually go down. Both phones offer 3G, of course — so between the Vu’s nav stick and the Vu2’s expansive touchscreen, we’ve got a couple of unique offerings on our hands here. Strong work picking these up, AT&T!

Review: JAVOedge Apple iPhone 3.5mm Stereo Headphone Adapter by JustAnotherMobileMonday.com

Hrm … what’s there to say?

Chirp Chirp. Chirp. Ah, I’ve got it. You have 3 seconds to name the most annoying PHYSICAL feature of the iPhone - GO!

… … …

Time’s up. If you said the headphone jack - You’re right! One of the biggest complaints I have against the iPhone is the recessed headphone jack that Apple put into the device. Now I have to assume there was some kind of logic behind this besides just forcing you to use Apple’s own very uncomfortable headphones. Sure, they work for some people (actually for a lot of people) but I find them to put a lot of pressure on the inside of my ear and I can’t use them for more than about 20 minutes before they have to come out.

Enter the JAVOedge 3.5mm headphone adapter for the iPhone.

Review: Apple iPhone JAVOClearCase by JustAnotherMobileMonday.com

Not too long ago we took a look at some JAVOedge gear and shortly after that I got a hold of a shiny new Apple iPhone. So naturally my next stop was to see what kind of cases I could wrap my new lovely in. Turns out JAVOedge already had that covered and offered to send me over a review unit of the JAVOedge JAVOClear case. The JAVOClear cases are made of a very clear poly-carbonate which makes this case not only temperature resistant (won’t crack in the cold) and also impact resistant so it can protect your hot little device from not-so-hot impacts. Now, I’m not going to say you should plan on a 5 foot drop test the minute you get your new case as there’s a good chance the screen alone wouldn’t survive the impact, but I think it’s safe to say this case would keep on truckin!
