by Jaime Rivera | April 7, 2013 9:34 PMThe BlackBerry Z10 is not only the company's boldest move since the dawn of push email, but also one of the better devices of 2013. It would be one of the best if the platform was a little more mature, but still, we'd call this one of the best re-inventions to come to mobile in the last decade, at times when almost every other company that tried to do it is no longer existent. New leaked photos now show that aside from the leaked roadmap that we saw a couple of days ago, the existing BlackBerry Z10 is also getting more color options as well, or at least, it seems so. The reason why we're ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 7, 2013 5:25 PMIt's been already a couple of weeks since the launch of both the Sony Xperia Z and Xperia ZL at CES in Las Vegas, and still no US carriers have confirmed their adoption of either. Kind of ironic if you consider the fact that Sony chose the US to launch their new handsets and not MWC in Barcelona as everybody else does. Other than on AT&T, it's always hard to see a Sony handset reach US shores, but leaked photos could prove a complete change in the way Sony does business in the US. These photos are of a Sony Xperia Z with T-Mobile branding at the bottom, which could mean that you might ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 7, 2013 5:18 PMGoogle isn't that big on leaks, but with Google I/O a solid month away, rumors are part of what we'll see and hear for the next days to come. It's hard to give you a solid idea on what to expect, but the two rumors that have sounded the most on the web are the Google Play redesign for Android, and the Babel unified chat service. As opposed to Apple's approach where you have different stores for everything, the leaks of the Google Play Store version 4.0 seem to retain their philosophy of having one store to serve everything, which is definitely how things should be. Now, aside from looks, ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 6, 2013 4:25 AMAfter the success of the Nokia Lumia 920 for AT&T, the web has been packed with rumors of a counterpart to be released on the Verizon network and dubbed the Nokia Lumia 928. Some rumored it being made of aluminum as part of Nokia's project Catwalk, but as the leaked images that we found today show, it seems that aluminum and Lumia won't marry just yet. The leaked photos show a device made of polycarbonate, and in an interesting twist, it looks nothing like the Nokia Lumia 920 aesthetically. They are both reported to have identical specs, but this Lumia 928 packs a design that resembles ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 5, 2013 7:00 PMWatch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about the recent patents that reveal a Street-View like service coming to maps on iOS. Then we talk about the Nokia Catwalk, and the good and bad things revealed on its specs. Then it's pre-order day starting with T-Mobile USA bringing their iPhone 5, then Samsung Bringing their Galaxy Note 8.0 to the UK. Then we've got BlackBerry Q10 pre-orders in the UK followed by some R-Series rumors that underwhelm. We end today's show talking about HTC, first because of their pre-orders on AT&T and Sprint, and second because their Developer Edition is now ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 5, 2013 10:04 AMWow, the morning has just begun and we're already flocked with a ton of pre-orders and now even a device that's already being sold. Such is the case of the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, which now reaches Samsung's Experience Store in London, and this time it's not just for you to order it. You can either go to the London store and give it a try, or pick one up if your mind is made. Samsung's Galaxy Note 8.0 marks the sweet spot for pen input. The Galaxy Note II is not a small phone at all, but it is rather big for most people, and the Galaxy Note 10.1 is simply too big to take notes ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 5, 2013 9:53 AMYes, Sprint is the next lucky carrier to get the HTC One on pre-order as of today. If you're either on Sprint or considering moving towards their unlimited data, there's actually a deal for new customers that make this proposition a lot more enticing. Existing customers can get the HTC One for the usual $199 plus a two-year contract for the 32GB model, and no, there's no 64GB model in Sprint sadly. Now, if you're a new customer, there's a $100 discount on the HTC One with their new "bring your number" deal. You end-up paying only $99 for the handset, after you sign the contract of course. ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 5, 2013 8:13 AMAs expected, it was only a matter of time before BlackBerry made their Q2 promise with the BlackBerry Q10, and yes, we hate all these "Qs" as well. The company was really mysterious about the launch date of this device, and it could be arguable that they wanted to make sure the Z10 took off before shipping another handset to the market. As of today, pre-orders for the Q10 are available at Carphone Warehouse, and even though there are is not a specific date for shipping, the store confirms that it'll reach your doorstep on the end of April. For UK customers, this device will be sold to ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 5, 2013 7:29 AMToday is historic for many people at T-Mobile. It's been almost six years since the first generation iPhone has launched, newer devices have already seen the light of day in regional carriers, and it's not until today that the fourth largest carrier in the US gets their own. Starting today, the iPhone 5 is ready for pre-order on T-Mobile, and it'll be available either at your doorstep or nearest storefront on April 12th. The iPhone 5 launches on T-Mobile as one of their first LTE devices, joined by the Galaxy Note II and BlackBerry Z10, and later by the Galaxy S 4 and HTC One. All three ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 5, 2013 7:08 AMAfter the recent leaks of the BlackBerry roadmap for 2013, we did notice that aside from the Q10 that should be released at the beginning of Q2, we should also receive an R10 some time in the fall. Sadly, even though we thought the R-Series was going to be bigger and better than the Q-Series, some leaked photos prove otherwise. Apparently these photos are of the BlackBerry R10, and by the looks of it, there's no additional premium here to what you'll get on the Q10. On the contrary, this looks to be more of the BlackBerry Curve successor, which was always more of a budget-minded device ...
