That leaked Verizon Android tablet may be the Motorola Xoom 4G
Yesterday we brought you news that an upcoming Android-powered tablet for Verizon was inadvertently leaked by the carrier itself through an ad video. Back then, we had no idea what tablet that was, or even if it was going to be an actual shipping product. It may, after all, have been just a mock-up used [...]

The HP Pre 3 was announced all the way back in February, yet since then we’ve heard little to nothing about this smartphone and its journey to the US market. We have however heard all kinds of things about the Pre 3′s small sibling, the Veer, or even the TouchPad, HP’s first webOS tablet, yet [...]

Six European nations among first to receive Nokia Windows Phone handsets
Nokia Europe VP Victor Saeijs told attendees at the 2011 Mobile Telecompaper conference that the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and the UK will be the first countries to receive Nokia Windows Phone handsets.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Duo picture leaks
It was certainly obvious that in this day and age Sony Ericsson just can’t afford to not have a dual-core smartphone out there, yet that’s exactly the case even now.

Motorola Droid 3 / Milestone 3 announced in China as Moto XT883
Motorola has officially announced its third-generation Milestone Android smartphone – unfortunately, it did it only in China.

The XT883 will be available starting [...]

Announced way back in February, the LG Optimus 3D is now finally ready to hit the market: LG has officially confirmed that the smartphone is launching now in Europe, and in “more than 60 markets around the world over the next several weeks.” I was hoping that LG delayed the release of the Optimus 3D [...]

4G Blackberry Playbook delayed until fall
Although the Wi-Fi only version of the Blackberry Playbook has been out for a few months now, we have yet to see a 4G version hit the market.

UK: The Atlanta from Orange is a cheap PAYG featurephone that requires a massive £50 top-up
Here’s one for you featurephone lovers, smartphone haters, or both. Orange UK has a new own-brand featurephone up its sleeves, and it’s calling it the Atlanta from Orange. At least there’s some consistency there with regard to using city names for own-brand devices. That’s where the consistency ends, though, and strangeness intervenes. The Orange Atlanta [...]
O2 UK refuses to sell BlackBerry PlayBook because of “issues with customer experience”
Today the BlackBerry PlayBook, RIM’s first tablet, has become widely available in the UK, from retailers and mobile network operators alike.

Canada: Sonim XP1300 Core launched by Rogers
The (very) rugged, IP-68 rated, built to military standards Sonim XP1300 Core phone has been launched in Canada by Rogers. From the start, you should know that this device isn’t for you if you’re more interested in how many apps a phone can run than in whether you can run it over with a car [...]
Upcoming Android Honeycomb tablet for Verizon leaks
Earlier today, Verizon inadvertently leaked an upcoming Android-powered tablet. The carrier uploaded a video starring the yet-unannounced device, and it certainly looks like someone over at Big Red gave the go ahead for that upload sooner than he or she should have. The video has in the meantime been set to private, which of course [...]
