Is this the Nokia Lumia 719c?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA
China is getting even closer to its first taste of Nokia Windows Phone and it might include a new phone entirely. While we're still two weeks away from Mr. Elop's proposed March 28th launch, the leaked shot above is purported to be the Lumia 719c -- a previously unseen Windows Phone that could arrive in time for Nokia's latest smartphone push. It has that familiar curved shape and plastic build, but there's some slight design riffs to set it apart from both the Lumia 710 and 610 -- one of which it'll likely replace in Chinese stores. We only have Mr. Blurrycam's one-shot portrait to go on so far, but expect to see some price-constrained specs like those seen on Nokia's other entry-level smar...

Sprint to launch Samsung GALAXY Nexus on April 15th?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
Because this information comes from a fairly new site, we suggest that you accept it with the proverbial grain of salt. A source for S4GRU tells the site that the Sprint Samsung GALAXY Nexus will be launched on April 15th. The source is characterized as a Sprint insider from the Product Development division who confirms the release date even if it works out to be a Sunday. Sprint has a contest featuring the device that ends on April 14th which would seem to point to a release around the 15th.
Even though Sprint hasn't flicked the on switch on its LTE network, a goal made harder by the end of the carrier's relationship with LightSquared, the Sprint version of the Samsung GALAXY Nexus will sup...

Motorola DROID PRO update changelist now available
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID PRO
The other day we informed you that Motorola was seeking owners of the Motorola DROID PRO for a soak test. These volunteers are willing to load an unproven update on their phone to test how stable it is and to catch any major issues before the software is downloaded on everyone's phone. You're not allowed to talk about it while the soak test in in progress, so the only value it might have to you is that you get to use a new update before most of the world.
The update for BlackBerry-esque Motorola DROID PRO is "coming soon" according to Big Red, but we already have the changelist thanks to Big Red And no, the Android 4.0 update is definitely not on it. Come on guys, April 1st is still a bit mo...

T-Mobile officially retiring Sidekick 4G, but the Sidekick brand will live on

When it arrived in April of last year, the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G was more than a re-imagining of an aging brand: the Samsung SGH-T839 was perhaps the best mid-range Android handset we'd ever seen, with a fantastic physical QWERTY keyboard and loads of value for the money. For the past eleven months, the iF Design award-winning handset had a good run, but now T-Mobile tells us that it's officially discontinuing the phone. (This confirms an earlier TmoNews report.) That said, that doesn't mean there isn't another Sidekick in the cards.

Sony applies for 'head control' patent to frustrate non-verbal communicators
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony
The company formerly known as Sony Ericsson applied for a patent in 2010 that's yet to be granted, but you never know, one day it might wind up in a handset near you. Having recently introduced the "floating touch" Xperia Sola that doesn't require your hands to make contact with the display, the next logical step is to make the whole thing controlled just with the movement of your head. Wearing a Bluetooth earpiece with a motion sensor, you then map a custom motion onto a phone action, so shaking your head could answer a call, nodding up and down ends it and going from side-to-side will fire up an app. Designed for when it's not safe to jab at your phone (i.e. driving) we think it's a pretty...

HTC devices such as the Sensation and Vivid are finally getting in with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, thanks to some recently available software updates, but that doesn’t mean older HTC handsets are left out of the loop in terms of general updates.
Well, if you happen to own either the T-Mobile myTouch 4G or 4G Slide, devices that have been around for quite some time now, you’ll be pleased to find upcoming maintenance updates headed your way. Basically, they upgrade the software of these Gingerbread devices to version 2.32.531.1, and for the most part, it should comfort those who are still dreaming about the possibility of Ice Cream Sandwich.
