Samsung Galaxy R now available in the UK, can be yours for £409.99
The Samsung Galaxy R is basically nothing but a cheaper Galaxy S II. In order for it to be cheaper, of course, some high-priced components that can be found in the Galaxy S II are absent. But overall, the Galaxy R is a decent smaller brother (not necessarily in size, but in specs) to the [...]

After many months of leaks, rumors, and speculation surrounding it, the Motorola Droid Bionic for Verizon was finally made available earlier this month, although it didn’t come cheap.

Sprint will launch the BlackBerry Curve 9350 on October 2
Contrary to previous rumors, Sprint’s new BlackBerry Curve 9350 did not become available earlier this month.

Thanks to a leaked Sprint document (shown below), we now know that the Curve 9350 is [...]
Another render of Verizon’s upcoming Samsung Stratosphere leaks, it should be out soon
After releasing the affordable Pantech Breakout today, Verizon plans on adding yet another Android-powered smartphone to its 4G LTE-enabled lineup. The Samsung Stratosphere will probably be Big Red’s first LTE slider.

Rugged Kyocera Duramax flip phone arrives on Sprint’s Direct Connect on October 2
Who said anything about flip phones dying a slow and painful death after the Motorola Razr went out of fashion? Well, apparently no one. Or at least that’s what Sprint seems to think.

If you thought that the Samsung Galaxy S II all but obsoleted any future trace of the Galaxy S name (without the “II”) from the market, think again.

Canada: white Samsung Galaxy S II on its way to Bell
The white version of Samsung’s Galaxy S II was made official in July, and since then it’s made its way to many different countries, but not to Canada. Yet. That’s all about to change, though.

Microsoft slider smartphone with detachable accessories/remotes
A mobile phone with various attachable and detachable accessories is not something very new. It’s an interesting idea that many tried. We’ve seen Modu mini-phone with “jackets”, LG Expo handset with the attachable projector and NTT Docomo’s separable phone. And we’ve seen even more interesting stuff in Palm’s R&D department. Alas, none of them became a [...]
