Nokia Lumia 610 now on sale in China, unboxed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 610
The Nokia Lumia 610 is now on sale in China, and is available for 1,699 Chinese Yuan ($269 USD).
WPDang was one of the first customers and posted some unboxing pictures.
They report the 800 Mhz handset is as smooth and fast as all other Windows Phones, and the phone, which is available in black and white, is polished and “very beautiful”.
One interesting point to note is that the packaging is branded Nokia 610 rather than Nokia Lumia 610, similar to the Nokia 800 and 800c in China.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X
MasterCard is widening the universe of phones that officially support PayPass in a big way, with a new MasterCard PayPass Ready program certifying that devices with NFC will play nicely with its mobile payment system. A total of 17 phones are part of the first wave getting the official A-OK. Some of these are known quantities already using PayPass, like the LG Viper 4G LTE and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus HSPA+, but others are new to the PayPass ways. Among the picks are the HTC One X, Intel's smartphone reference device and the Nokia Lumia 610 NFC. A raft of BlackBerrys and lower-end Samsung Galaxy phones are likewise in the fray. While only a handful of these might ever work with Google Wallet...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryCurve 9320
The Curve 9320 is expected to slide into the bottom of the BlackBerry range, below the Curve 9360, as RIM looks to target its popular youth sector.
A spokesperson for RIM confirmed the news to TechRadar at BlackBerry World 2012, but was unable to provide any details relating to the exact Curve 9320 release date, price of specifications.
TechRadar did see a potential leak of BlackBerry Curve 9320 details last month, after T-Mobile accidentally let slip on its website.
According to the leak the Curve 9320 will sport the famous BlackBerry QWERTY keypad, a 3.2MP rear-facing camera, the BlackBerry 7.1 OS and it will also feature a dedicated BBM key on the side of the handset.

The Samsung Galaxy S III Revealed: 4.8" HD SuperAMOLED, Exynos 4 Quad, Available 5/29 in Europe
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
Apple is a bit infamous for its tight control over new products, particularly iPhones. Development mules are often updated internals stuffed into nondescript previous generation designs. And talk of new products is forbidden, until the official reveal. Samsung, seems to have taken a different tack with their latest flagship device, the Galaxy S III. In the weeks leading up to today's announcement there were positively dozens of leaked images and specifications lists. And each one seemed so pointedly different than the last to leave the tech press exhausted with confusion and anticipation. All those leaks are put to the test, now, though; as Samsung has just revealed their most advanced phone...

Samsung unpacks the Galaxy tomorrow, we'll be liveblogging the London event right here!
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
Is that Galaxy S II feeling a bit stale? It's just about time for Samsung to name a successor to the massively popular smartphone, live at the company's Mobile Unpacked event at the Earls Court Olympic venue. We'll surely see a brand new mainstream handset make its debut, but what's not quite as clear is what other gadgets Samsung plans to show off in London. With defined divisions, the Korean device maker's "Mobile Unpacked" event title implies that Android phones will steal the show, so it's unlikely that we'll see an updated Tab or two. We have 24 hours and change to find out for sure, however, so bookmark this page to stay abreast of the news as it happens in our liveblog. The show kicks...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCT-MobileSensation 4G
HTC’s last year flagship, the Sensation 4G, has just dropped in price to the sweet zero on T-Mobile, and it seems like now is the best time to get a high-end handset that can still take a beating in today’s smartphone market for very little. TMo is offering the Sensation 4G for free on a limited time offer that kicked off this week.
And here’s what you get for your zero dollars and a two-year contract tie: a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, a 4.3-inch qHD display, a capable 8-megapixel camera and connection to T-Mobile’s 4G HSPA+ network.

HTC touts the One X battery life
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCOne X
HTC outed a blog post in which it detailed the thousand of man hours that went into the battery life performance of its flagship HTC One X handset, partly to alleviate the concerns about it having a non-removable battery, we'd wager to guess.
They compared with last year's flagship HTC Sensation and the results are pretty astounding - 147% longer talk time, 103% more music playback, 39% more video playback, and 23% more web browsing time, all from a phone with a beautiful 4.7" HD screen.
Not bad, but HTC also has some independent reviewers' charts to back its claims up, like those from the Anandtech review below.

The long wait is coming to an end soon, with Canada’s WIND Mobile unleashing the Nokia Lumia 710 tomorrow, offering the handset for free on 3 year WINDtab with WIND40 monthly plan (surely still a bad deal) or $99 on the WINDtab with the WIND25 monthly plan or finally $259 outright, which seems a low price to pay for freedom from being locked in for an eternity.

Minor Firmware Update for Nokia Lumia 800 not yet rolled out to end users; repairs audio volume bug
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 800
Nokia has created a minor firmware update for the Nokia Lumia 800. The only problem is that the update, 12072, has not yet been rolled out globally by the Finnish based manufacturer. The update repairs an audio volume bug that came about after the previous update, 12070, fixed a Power Management Issue. Software version 12072 also includes a new camera app with updated camera settings. The audio volume bug is said to make playing video games difficult while at the same time it messes up the ringtone on your Nokia Lumia 800. The bug makes your phone ring super loud, even from the first second that a call hits your device.

Google says Galaxy Nexus code is a "trade secret"
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
This is kind of a strange story. As you may know, Apple has a lawsuit pending against Samsung in California which also includes a motion for a preliminary injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. In this case, Apple has requested that Google uncover differences, if there are any, between the Android code released in the Android Open Source Project repository and that running on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
Not surprisingly, Google doesn't want to give Apple any more information than it needs to, and "has already agreed to produce source code underlying" Android on the Galaxy Nexus. What is strange is the reasoning Google gives in order to avoid fulfilling this request. Google says that com...

HTC EVO 4G LTE coming to Sprint on May 18th?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCEVO 4G
Last week, we told you that Sprint will start taking pre-orders for the HTC EVO 4G LTE on May 7th. So far, so good. But when can we expect the next phone in the EVO series to actually be released? Android Authority says it has the answer as a pair of sources have tipped them to expect a May 18th launch of the handset.
And while it doesn't exactly confirm the May 18th date, leaked photos obtained by GoodandEVO.com from a source described as reliable show promotional materials for the HTC EVO 4G LTE. These materials are supposedly being delivered to Sprint locations on May 14th which would dovetail with the rumored May 18th launch date. The phone will sell for $199.99 with a signed two year c...

Nokia Lumia 900 $100 credit now being delivered
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIALumia 900
When Nokia discovered the problem with the LTE feature of Windows Phone 7 they handled the situation pretty well, delivering the fix in less than a week, and also offering buyers who purchased the handset before the 21st April a generous $100 credit towards their mobile phone bill.
In practice this means at least 1-2 months of free service on the carrier, and buyers are now reporting that the credit is being applied to their accounts.
While the bug was of course regrettable, it may very well have been the best PR a few million dollars could buy.
