Samsung Wave Y LeFleur Edition revealed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungWave Y
If you thought the one thing missing from Samsung’s entry-level Wave Y S5380 phone was a pink floral design, you’re in luck. The manufacturer has launched a new version of the device, dubbed the LaFleur edition, with a bold pink-and-black motif. The inscription “LaFleur” appears on the front of the phone while the back, donned in pink, is etched with a full-body floral print.
The Samsung Wave Y S5380 runs on the Bada 2.0 platform, which is designed for low-end handsets. The S5380 is the lowest of those low-end devices, coming in at an unsubsidized price of just $165, at least in the Ukraine. That remains the only country where the LaFleur edition phone is available, at least for the time bei...

Samsung Epic 4G Touch update pulls Carrier IQ
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungEpic 4G Touch
As part of its promise to back away from Carrier IQ on its handsets, Sprint's latest software update for its Samsung Epic 4G Touch removes it. The EL29 update is also said to bring with it a number of other changes, such as a security update, the activation of the Commercial Alert System, and dismissing multiple calendar alerts.
The phones will be updated to version S:D710.10S.EL29. The update will take 10 days to reach all Epic 4G Touch handsets from Sprint, although it may be possible to speed the update through checking manually. Detailed changes, such as a new phone answer screen are present on the device as well.

iPhone 5 release details "leaked"
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesApple
An employee for Foxconn in China has reportedly stated production of a device dubbed the iPhone 5 is about to go into production.
The source also revealed to 9to5Mac there are several sample handsets doing the rounds, but all differ slightly from each other. It is not clear which, if any, is the final device.
Some similarities between all the samples have been noted, including a screen which is 4-inches (or larger) in size, a different form-factor – hinting that Apple is going to move away from the 4/4S design and the devices are longer and wider than previous iPhones.

GPS interference tests "unfair" claims LightSquared
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGPS
There is a lot of money at stake with LightSquared's wholesale mobile network. Besides high priced contracts with Sprint and other potential customers, many vulture investors are investing big bucks hoping to have a say in the restructuring of the company if it goes bankrupt. At the heart of the matter is the interference to GPS systems that the government claims comes from LightSquared's technology. The problem is that traffic on LightSquarted's network would bleed into the GPS system.
Tests done in 2010 by the Space-Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing National Executive Committee forced LightSquared to move the frequency it uses to one as far away as possible from any neighboring GPS ...

HTC Rezound is a "secret" global phone?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCRezound
Some enterprising HTC Rezound owners at the XDA Developers forums have discovered that by putting a GSM SIM card in the Rezound that you get more network options to choose from. Switching will reportedly allow owners to place and receive calls on GSM networks, although the phone often resets itself. In some cases they are reporting data access over GSM networks as well, although SMS is generally reported to not be working.
It’s important to note that the FCC did not note or test any GSM radio or antenna in the Rezound, so something fishy is going on here. Yet it seems that too many people have confirmed using the GSM radio for it to be an elaborate hoax, and the Qualcomm MSM8660 SoC does inc...

Amazon Wireless offering up the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for only $100
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAmazonGALAXY Nexus
Amazon Wireless is known for some rockin’ deals when it comes to new smartphones but its latest offering is a doozy. You can grab the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for a mere $100 on a new two-year contract with Verizon.
The Galaxy Nexus was officially released on Verizon just a little over a month ago, so seeing the powerful handset come in at this price is pretty awesome. Those who craved the Pure Google experience on the handset but weren’t in love with paying up $300 now have their chance to get the best of both worlds. That said, if you’re serious about grabbing one of these bad boys at this discounted rate, we’d suggest you do so as soon as possible. At this price, the offer probably won’t be a...

Galaxy Note S Pen makes sense for larger screens, says Samsung
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Note
Could the Galaxy Note's S Pen stylus be coming to other Samsung products in the future? That's the proposition hypothesized by Ryan Bidan, Samsung's product marketing manager, in an interview with Laptop. He thinks that the stylus "continues to make a lot of sense across a number of screen sizes, like the larger is more obvious of those," before going on to say "that’s about as specific as I can be without announcing a product." That would certainly seem to suggest that Samsung is considering the S Pen for future models of its Galaxy Tab, though we suppose he could also be talking about Windows 8 devices. We didn't find much use for the S Pen in our Galaxy Note review, but it's possible that...

LG Optimus LTE sales break 1 million units, took 3 months to do it
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLGOptimus LTE
LG has just announced that the Optimus LTE has sold more than 1 million units. At fist glance that sounds like an awesome achievement, but looking at the numbers closely reveals some incredibly lackluster sales. First, the device went on sale in October 2011, meaning it’s been out on the market for 3 months. That would mean less than 350,000 units sold per month. Second, LG specially says that the device sold 600,000 units in South Korea. That would mean just 400,000 units left to be split among the three other countries where the device is available: the United States, Canada, and Japan. Forgetting about Canada and Japan for a second (such an American thing to say!), assume those 400,000 un...

Samsung Galaxy Nexus coming to T-Mobile?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungT-MobileGALAXY Nexus
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is not only the first handset running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but many also consider it to be simply the best Android device made so far and that’s why the possibility of it arriving on T-Mobile sounds particularly exciting. The Galaxy Nexus is already available on Verizon Wireless and Sprint, but it has skipped AT&T and T-Mobile.
Now, evidence has popped up that a mysterious Samsung-T999, a handset with a screen resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, matching the one on the Galaxy Nexus, is indeed arriving on T-Mobile. Not only that, but the T999 model name matches the naming scheme of T-Mobile: T for the name of the carrier and the typical 9 at the end.

Early build of Ice Cream Sandwich for the GSM Motorola RAZR leaks
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsMotorolaGoogleAndroid 4.0RAZR
There may be many different Android devices in the world today but there are still only a handful of decent custom user interfaces available. While we prefer stock Android over anything else, HTC’s Sense UI has been a favorite for many people for a while now. However, one thing we’ve never heard before is someone saying that they prefer Motorola’s custom UI Motoblur over anything else. Well, some of the first shots of the Motorola RAZR playing nice with Ice Cream Sandwich and Motoblur have arrived and some of you may like the new look.
From what we can see, Motorola has been pretty busy bringing Motoblur to Android 4.0 and some of the enhancements are pretty nice. First you, you’ll now have ...

Samsung Galaxy S III's MWC debut reportedly canceled
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
The highly anticipated follow up to Samsung’s Galaxy S II will not be unveiled at next month’s Mobile World Congress, according to The Verge. The Galaxy S III was rumored to be debuting in Barcelona next month, however it has reportedly now been delayed. The reason for delay was not disclosed, although it is still slated to be released “before summer” according to the report. The Galaxy S II was announced at last year’s Mobile Wold Congress, but Samsung is said to have been uncomfortable with the long delay between the global launch and availability in the U.S., where it is the most popular Android vendor. The company will still feature “interesting stuff” in place of the Galaxy S III, perha...

Nokia Lumia 900 to hit AT&T March 18th for $99?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAAT&TLumia 900
A source speaking to BGR confirmed the March 18th launch date we reported for Nokia’s Lumia 900. The 4.3” WP7 handset will make its debut on AT&T, although the date may not be set in stone; apparently the Lumia 900 is still working to get final technical approval.
More exciting is the reported price: Consumers purchasing the phone with a two year contract will get it for a less than a Benjamin. Before sales tax anyhow. Still, a $99 price point is very aggressive, so clearly Microsoft and Nokia are coming to play this spring. This price positioning reflects the important that Microsoft and Nokia place on the U.S. market for the future of Windows Phone.
