Ever since the Lumia 900 rumors started pouring in, following up on the launch of the Lumia 800, we were inclined to believe (taking hints, actually), that the next Nokia Windows Phone will be made of the same polycarbonate material as the Lumia 800. Not according to New York Times! According to their sources, the Nokia Windows Phone called Lumia 900 will be announced "on Monday at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas". It will be sold in the U.S. by AT&T and, instead of the same material used in the production of the Lumia 800, the Lumia 900 will be "a sleek metallic ...

Don't feel strange if you feel sorry for the USB adaptor in the video below. It makes a sad face and even manages to squeeze out a tear from one of its ports. Motorola invites everyone to "stay unplugged" as the manufacturer teases some sort of wireless charging and/or synching technology for CES. Of course, the wireless charging concept is no stranger, not to mention the wireless synching concept which is already part of many smartphone owners' lives. How is Motorola going to implement the new technology? We'll find out soon enough! Source: YouTube Via: Engadget

We're just hopefully a couple of minutes away from the AT&T event in Las Vegas where everyone expects the carrier to unveil the highly anticipated Nokia Lumia 900 (aka Ace). We can now not only see the official, though minuscule, renders of the phone (what we previously had was a mock-up, though a good one) but also catch some details of the device coming to AT&T's LTE network. There's a real resemblance with the Lumia 800 and the Nokia N9 and it's worth mentioning that the manufacturer seems to have placed the flash back to the left of the camera (like it was on the Nokia N9) rather then ...

LG's Spectrum is about to become the company's flagship phone on Verizon's LTE network. We got a really good look at the phone last week, with its 1.5GHz dual-core processor and 4.5-inch 720p display, and heard a rumor that the phone would become available on January 19. At a press event this morning, LG and Verizon finally announced the Spectrum, confirming the January 19 launch date and revealing the phone's price tag. Considering the high-end specs, the LG Spectrum will be quite affordable on Verizon. We were expecting to learn of a launch price in the $250-$300 range, but as it turns ...

Not more than seven months after the Droid 3 was released, Verizon has announced the latest in what appears to be the longest lineage of a smarpthone brand ever. The Droid 4, which appeared on our radar in September, is the first LTE-capable original Droid (of the hardware keyboard variety). In a lot of ways, the Droid 4 reminds us of the Droid RAZR with its slender design and somewhat rounded edges. It packs a 4.0" qHD 960x540 display powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of built-in storage with microSD expansion, an 8MP shooter on the back capable of recording 1080p video, ...

We were hoping to learn about Nokia's Lumia 900 during AT&T's developer event from earlier today, but while we did have that opportunity to get the skinny on the HTC Titan II, Nokia's Stephen Elop teased that we'd have to wait just a little longer for his company's news. Sure enough, Nokia's own event kicked-off at the start of the hour, and it took this opportunity to finally announce the Lumia 900, coming to the US as an exclusive to AT&T LTE. We've been hearing about the Lumia 900 for weeks, saw plenty of potential images of the device, and finally brought you the first official ...

At the beginning of December, following up on the acquisition of Ericsson's stake from the joint venture by Sony, we've been told that Sony will be phasing out the Sony Ericsson brand by mid-2012. We're now told that Sony Ericsson will be rebranded as Sony Mobile Communications and all the phones which will be announced and released from this point on will be only wearing the "Sony" branding. The old Sony Ericsson logo is also dumped and, to testify to all the above, the Sony Xperia Ion on AT&T as well as the Sony Xperia S are only labeled as Sony. Source: MobileSyrup

Aside from the Sony Xperia Ion on AT&T and the Sony Xperia S, Sony also announced the Xperia NX and Xperia acro HD at CES. Though we've heard that all mobile devices announced will wear the Sony-only branding, the two new devices destined for Japan are still branded Sony Ericsson. The Xperia NX is the Japanese variant of the Xperia S, with the 4.3 inch LCD "Reality Display", Qualcomm MSM8260 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and twelve-megapixel camera. The Xperia acro HD will also share similar specs, like the 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 4.3-inch HD display and a twelve-megapixel ...
