Sprint will offer unlimited data for the iPhone
Sprint may not have gotten itself an exclusive on the iPhone 5 (and with that particular model turning out not to exist, that would’ve been hard to do anyway), as we once thought, but the Now Network does get to sell the newly announced iPhone 4S. And it may very well have guaranteed to Apple [...]
Verizon may release the Samsung Prime on October 27
Now that the new iPhone frenzy has died down, it’s time to turn our attention to Google, Android, Samsung, Verizon, and the phone which will be called Nexus Prime, Samsung Prime, Samsung Galaxy Nexus, or who knows what else. Anyway, it’s the next Nexus we’re talking about. Earlier today we showed you a teaser video [...]
Nokia Sun leaks with 3.7-inch AMOLED, 1.4 GHz CPU, and 8 MP camera
Nokia’s annual ‘big’ event is slowly approaching. Nokia World, for that’s its name, will be held on October 26 and 27 this year, and Nokia is widely expected to announce its first Windows Phones over there. Yes, plural, because Nokia seems intent on introducing a few different phones, and not just one as the story [...]

Sold by Sprint for $199.99 on contract, and by Walmart and Wirefly for $149.99 (also on contract), the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G can now be bought for just $99.99 thanks to Amazon. I’m not sure when exactly Amazon started to offer the Epic Touch 4G for $99.99 – since no one seems [...]

Two of the newest BlackBerry smartphones which come with a touchscreen are now finally available to purchase in the UK.

We saw our first real image of the Samsung Nexus Prime, rumored to be Google’s next flagship device, today. Samsung has just uploaded a 30 second video teasing us about next week’s Samsung Mobile Unpacked Event on Tuesday. The video is pretty pointless until the last three seconds, which shows off what looks to be [...]
Motorola Fire and ZTE Tureis QWERTY Androids now out in the UK
Today, two more Android-powered smartphones have become available in the UK. These have something in common, though, as they both sport the same form factor.

HTC Flyer now just $299.99 at Best Buy
The HTC Flyer is HTC’s first shot at an Android-powered tablet. It comes with some unique selling points, but it also has some unique quirks, such as the fact that it launched running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and not Android Honeycomb, the tablet-optimized version of Google’s mobile operating system. Aside from that, it’s worth noting that [...]

Want an unlocked Apple iPhone 4S? Prices will start at $649
Earlier today, when Apple announced its new iPhone 4S (new on the inside, because on the outside it looks just like the old iPhone 4), the company has only unveiled its prices on contract for the US market: $199 (16GB version), $299 (32GB), and a whopping $399 for the 64GB version. Now, thanks to Apple [...]
Asus Eee Pad Transformer 2 will cost $499
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer has been one of the best selling Android tablets to date, and naturally Asus is hard at work on a sequel. The aptly named Asus Eee Pad Transformer 2 is expected in stores before the end of this year (and, dare we assume, before the start of the holiday shopping [...]

New Apple iPhone 4S announced with dual core A5 chip, 8MP camera, global connectivity
And just like that, it happened: Apple has officially announced its fifth-generation iPhone. It’s not called iPhone 5, but iPhone 4S. Sadly for those who’ve been expecting a new and revolutionary design, the iPhone 4S looks pretty much like the older iPhone 4. Of course, the internals are new – and that’s why Apple is [...]

Expected to be officially announced sometime later this month, the long-rumored Google Nexus Prime has seemingly appeared in a leaked photo for the very first time.
