Peter Kennedy and the iPhone?

Peter Kennedy, formerly of Sony Ericsson, may be doing a silent but deadly over at Apple with the release of a patent that may very well be the first iPhone. From a consumer point of view, the Zen of Apple can only be unified with the Tao of Sony Ericsson. Couple this with Palm’s […]

The recent merger of BenQ and Siemens mobile has given birth to at least 30 new handsets to be unveiled this year. The first quarter of 2006 will see the launch of three new phones. Among the three, the BenQ-Siemens S88 seems to be the most promising because it is feature-packed with all the goodies […]

Nokia 6270

EDIT: The 6270 is a revamped Series 40 UI phone. I mentioned earlier that it was S60. Thanks Tommi for the erratum.
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been posting a lot about new Nokia phones the past few days. No biases for Nokia products here. It’s merely part of the company’s quarterly release strategy which I […]

Verizon Chaperone comes with LG VX1000

A cute little service deserves a cute little phone. Verizon has recently launched Chaperone, which is a GPS child tracking service that comes bundled with a free LG Migo VX1000. The service will cost $15.00 per month.

Nokia E61

I had a chance to play with the E61 (to be released sometime in March), which is Nokia’s mobile email solution PDA-phone. Actually, they could have just said that it’s their ace to beat the Blackberry, but they didn’t. Even if the form factor and weight all lead consumers to believe that this could very […]

ROKR E2

Two posts ago, I wrote something about the ROKR. Take a look at the ROKR E2 video from CES 2006.
Okay, I’m going to shut up now with these predictions of mine.
(Jayvee contemplates a bit on what Motorola just did…)

New ROKR for MacWorld 2006?

So MacWorld is coming up and there seems to be nothing but predictions, mostly on the Intel Macs and a new 1GB iPod nano.
And then it hit me that Apple might release a second iteration of the ROKR that failed miserably when it launched a few months ago.
From a business perspective, Apple will never […]

Siemens E71

New year, new designs from Siemens. Unveiled a day after Christmas via the WWW news mill, the Siemens E71 looks like a promising piece of phone in the aesthetics. I’m not yet ready tto jump the gun and say that Siemens has improved by great measures. That’s because I’m still traumatized by the thought of […]

My favorite phones of 2005

These are the phones of 2005 that you can buy today that will age very gracefully into 2006.

Nokia N90. Definitely a winner for 2005 because of its amazing video recording capabilities. Let’s forget about the Carl Zeiss still lens and concentrate more on the high quality videos this baby can churn out. Now anyone […]
