Microsoft picks on Android and Symbian; Windows Mobile not going the open source way
If, for any reason, you’re thinking that Microsoft might someday offer Windows Mobile licenses for free, just forget about it. WinMo will still be “sold” and not “offered” many years from now. Or at least that’s what Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer says.
Despite the arrival of Google’s Android open source platform and the upcoming open [...]
Samsung u430 outed by Verizon
Generally, Samsung clamshells are no Motorola RAZRs, but RAZRs have lost their luster anyway, and Samsung’s are at least half a bit more functional.

Samsung Delve coming to U.S. Cellular
Samsung can’t keep churning out high-end, 8 megapixel cameraphones like the Pixon M8800 and pretend that everything’s alright. No, they’ve got to cover other market segments, too, including the low-end to mid-range where usability more than form or function is needed.
This is probably why they are working on the handset that we’ve got pictured here, [...]

Regardless of how tech-savvy you are, there are little chances that you ever heard of Emblaze Mobile. Still, the Israeli company is getting ready to make ridiculous all the previous attempts of building the perfect touchscreen mobile phone.
