AT&T Novatel MiFi 2372 Review
On AT&T’s network, MiFi has been a myth, a legend, a fictional story that you can tell your children. It almost seemed as though AT&T was at odds with these clever new devices, or at least it was pushing a mild anti-MiFi agenda for some reason. CDMA foes Sprint and Verizon (heck, even Virgin Mobile) [...]
Huawei S7 Slim Android tablet and Ideos X3 Android smartphone coming at MWC
Remember the Huawei S7 Android tablet? Huawei has a new, allegedly slimmer version of it, called Ideos S7 Slim. There aren’t too many details about the new S7 Slim tablet at the moment, but we know that Huawei will showcase it at MWC 2011. The device features three capacitive buttons and a front-facing camera, and [...]
LG Optimus 3D teased in video, dual-lens camera spotted
LG Optimus 3D – expected to be the world’s first Android smartphone with a glasses-free 3D display – has appeared in a teaser video, about one week ahead of its official unveiling. The teaser is just 23 seconds long, but we can still get a decent look at the Optimus 3D and its dual-lens camera [...]

E7 is Nokia’s most important smartphone of 2011 “when looking at sales expectations”
Available in some markets starting this week (although initially it should have been released last year) the Nokia E7 is the Finnish company’s newest flagship smartphone. Unsurprisingly, Nokia hopes that the launch of E7 will help it regain its lost smartphone market share, which slipped to 31% in the last quarter of 2010. Reuters has [...]
Kyocera Echo – Sprint’s first dual-touchscreen Android smartphone
It’s a big day for Sprint today, as the carrier has just announced what seems to be the world’s first dual-touchscreen Android smartphone: the Kyocera Echo. The Echo runs Android 2.2 (it’s beyond me why they didn’t put Android 2.3 on it) and comes with two 3.5 inch WVGA touchscreen displays. Thanks to a patent-pending [...]
Nokia C6-01 launched in India
Nokia C6-01, one of the world’s newest Symbian touchscreen handsets, has been finally launched in India.

HTC 7 Pro with WP7 now available in the UK for £432
Since its official unveiling in the US, it was clear that the HTC 7 Pro would eventually be headed to Europe as well. In fact, the given time frame was ‘early next year’ – that’s 2011 for you and me. So here we are, early this year, and the 7 Pro is already sold by [...]
Dell Venue Pro gets delayed again in the UK, will launch in March
The saga of the Dell Venue Pro‘s availability in the UK continues. Or better said, the saga of its continued delays just goes on and on. It’s becoming rather hilarious how Dell is unable to get its first and, as of yet only Windows Phone 7 device onto UK shores. This smartphone was supposed to [...]

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4G will cost $148.88 at Walmart
T-Mobile’s Samsung Galaxy S 4G will be the successor to the Vibrant. Successor in that it will be a ’4G’ phone, as its name clearly underlines. In this case, the 4G means theoretical maximum throughput of 21 Mbps for the downstream, powered by HSPA+. Other than that, the smartphone will be amazingly similar, even in [...]
