by Stephen Schenck | March 7, 2013 1:03 PMRead OnThe BlackBerry Z10 is a nice introduction to the world of BlackBerry 10, but for many old fans of BlackBerry, the Q10 with its hardware keyboard may be the more desirable device. We're looking for the international retail launch of the Q10 to occur sometime in April, but have heard that the US wouldn't see the Q10 for itself until another eight to ten weeks after it hits stores abroad. That could place its availability out as far as June, but a new rumor suggests that at least one US carrier would offer the Q10 sooner, with rumors that T-Mobile plans to start selling the phone in May.

Judge Helps Samsung In Damages To Apple, Nokia Catwalk, Sony’s 1080p Rumors & More – Pocketnow Dailyby Jaime Rivera | March 1, 2013 7:00 PMRead OnWatch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about how Samsung was lucky enough to be dropped almost $450 Million in damages in their Apple vs Samsung trial. Then we talk Nokia as we've got tons of rumors of an aluminum device code-name Catwalk, and we also have additional talks of a water proof lumia in the works. Sony is up next as that 4.8-inch 1080p device that we expected for MWC is now being rumored for the Summer. The FCC then gives us some good news as their chairman has confirmed that he'll look at the carrier unlock legal issues. We end today's news by talking about the thicker, ...

by Stephen Schenck | March 1, 2013 10:50 AMRead OnWhile Nokia brought its Lumia 520 and Lumia 720 to the Mobile World Congress, there were a few rumored models we had been hearing about that didn't manage to make an appearance. Those include the highly-anticipated introduction of Nokia's 41-megapixel PureView tech to Windows Phone with the handset codenamed Eos, as well as a Lumia 920 variant for Verizon and a model that ditches Nokia's polycarbonate construction for aluminum, which we've heard called Catwalk. Back in early January, The Verge first broke the news on Catwalk, and yesterday afternoon in a summary on Nokia's Windows Phone ...

Read OnIt's seeming more and more likely that HTC's M7 will make its debut at the HTC One, and with just five days to go until the company's press event, the full story on the phone will be available very soon. In the meantime, some new rumors have arrived to help give us an idea of just how the smartphone will ultimately go up for sale, where you'll find it, and how much you could hope to pay. Last week, we saw some evidence suggesting that the handset could come to Europe on March 8, but today we look at its US release. According to this new info, T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T could get the ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 7, 2013 12:08 PMRead OnBlackBerry fans in the US are itching for their chance to join the likes of the UK and Canada and finally get their hands on a brand new Z10 smartphone. So far, we've been hearing that March is as soon as any of the carriers will offer the device, and a leaked T-Mobile roadmap has suggested that we'd be looking more at the tail-end of March, with the Z10 scheduled to go up for sale on March 27. Now some new comments from a T-Mobile exec are making us reconsider that date, and from the sound of things the phone just might show up quite a bit earlier. Instead of March 27, T-Mobile's Frank ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 6, 2013 4:13 PMRead OnThe last leaked T-Mobile roadmap we got to look at spelled out what the carrier was planning to release through the very start of April. Now a new document has arrived that gives us a glimpse into what to expect just a few more weeks further out, and reveals what could be a new Nokia Windows Phone model for late April, codenamed Flame. Supposedly, the carrier will be introducing this Nokia Flame on April 24. It turns out that the name Flame has been tied to Nokia rumors before, when last September the model was claimed to be an upcoming lower-end Windows Phone 8 handset with a 1GHz ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 5, 2013 2:57 PMRead OnWe've got a few updates on phone updates (no pun intended) which we've already talked to you about before, concerning the long-awaited Ice Cream Sandwich update for the HTC Thunderbolt on Verizon and the lack of Windows Phone 7.8 for Nokia's Lumia 710 on T-Mobile. Right at the end of January, we got a big surprise when we saw that Verizon had posted documents on its HTC Thunderbolt support page indicating that the phone's Android 4.0.4 update was finally going to arrive. The update was supposed to come to the phone last summer, and after going absent for so long, we had really started to ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 4, 2013 5:17 PMRead OnA newly-leaked T-Mobile roadmap is out, giving us a look at what's coming to the carrier in late March, and answering a few more questions left over from earlier leaks. Once again, we're looking at a March 27 date for the new BlackBerry handset, now confirmed as the Z10. The last time we checked out a T-Mobile roadmap, we saw this model identified by its codename Libson, attached to the very same date. That's in line with what we've heard from RIM about US launches, but it's still a bit of a lengthy wait for a phone that has so much riding on it. Next, we've got the LTE-capable version of ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 1, 2013 7:58 PMRead OnThere are a few big "holy grails" when it comes to wireless network connectivity, and besides appropriately-priced data rates and total saturation of coverage, there's the dream of phones that could be used on any carrier of your choice. The move to LTE teases at that dream, especially if VoLTE ever becomes popular, but we still have each carrier operating service on different slices of the spectrum. There's a chance that might not always be the case, upon AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile announcing their participation in an experiment to share spectrum currently reserved by the US ...

by Stephen Schenck | February 1, 2013 7:03 PMRead OnA couple days back, we saw the long-awaited arrival of Windows Phone 7.8 updates for existing models, with news coming in that first Nokia, and then HTC were making the update available to their users. If you didn't want to wait for your phone to get its official chance to upgrade, we even shared with you the technique for forcing Windows Phone models to accept the update. Still, we're sure some of you like to keep your smartphone nice and legit, and were waiting for your handset to be tapped for its formal WP7.8 update. If you've got a Lumia 710 on T-Mobile, you might want to rethink that ...

Read OnWe were just getting our hopes up about the chance of seeing BlackBerry 10 hardware available immediately after today's platform kick-off event, but that's sadly not going to be the case everywhere. Indeed, while the UK gets the Z10 as of tomorrow, and Canada will get it next week, the US will have to wait until mid-March. We had heard that March date rumored earlier, but after having that followed up by all these other rumors of earlier launches elsewhere (now confirmed), we grew optimistic that everyone would be seeing the new hardware sooner rather than later; clearly, that's not the ...

by Stephen Schenck | January 16, 2013 4:22 PMRead OnNews arrived last month of a potentially serious hole in how Exynos-based Android handsets let apps access system memory, giving them essentially free rein. Samsung responded to the discovery within a matter of days, promising software updates to correct the situation with affected devices "as quickly as possible". Now, less than a month later, we're beginning to see some of those updates arrive for Samsung users in the States. Samsung already got the ball rolling on this a couple weeks back, when users in the UK started receiving fixes for their Galaxy S III handsets. Now that we're ...

by Anton D. Nagy | January 14, 2013 11:32 AMRead OnThis year's Consumer Electronics Show from Las Vegas has come and gone. As usual, we've been both on-site bringing you coverage from events as well as the show floor, and here on Pocketnow, keeping you up to date with what's going on in the mobile world. For some the show has been excellent; for others it has been a letdown. We can't compare CES to a specialized mobile event like MWC (maybe with IFA); still, our experience from past years has taught us to expect certain things to happen at CES. They might or might not have happened in a straightforward way but there was a lot of innovation ...

by Anton D. Nagy | January 13, 2013 5:10 AMRead OnVeni, vidi, vici! We were looking forward to CES 2013, pretty much like we're always looking forward to trade shows where there's a possibility of seeing new and exciting things from and related to the mobile world. Good or bad as it was, this year's Vegas show is just one of many to come and, probably the biggest problem related to CES is the fact that it is followed shortly by MWC, a show related to mobile and only mobile. We're seeing companies slowly moving away from shows to announce their gadgets, following Apple's lead, but even those companies who are show-centric have probably ...
