Apple iPhone 4S benchmark results leaked
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Apple iPhone 4S benchmarks are hitting the web well ahead of the October 14 release date imposed by Apple at last week’s product unveiling. Preliminary results show that the updated phone is significantly faster than the original iPhone 4, although not quite as fast as the iPad 2.
Anandtech has gathered test results from multiple sources across the web that have early access to the phone and compiled them together in addition to results from their own database of tablets and smartphones.
The 4S was the fastest phone in SunSpider’s Javascript benchmark, narrowly dethroned by the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 which scored two points higher. Apple’s new handset did take top honors in Rightware Browser...

Motorola, Verizon holding special event Oct. 18 - Droid Razr?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessDROID RAZR
Verizon and Motorola have a strong relationship, as Moto was the first handset to kick off the uber-popular Droid lineup and the two companies are teaming up again for a special event Oct. 18. The invitation doesn’t give away much but we’re expecting some nice hardware.
The invitation simply says, “Faster. Thinner. Smarter. Stronger.” on it and if I were betting dollars to doughnuts, I’d say we’re going to see the Droid Razr. Most of you out there should remember how cool the original Motorola Razr was (at least the design) but the rumors on the new one suggest we’re in for a treat.
While we probably won’t get the clamshell design, we should be getting a Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread), a qHD sc...

Nokia Tries To Play It Cool With New Dubstep Ringtone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIA
OK, Nokia, we get it: you want to be cool. The Nokia/Monster headphones spotted a few days back was a start, but what better way to attract a hip young crowd than to jazz up your iconic jingle with some dubstep?
In fairness, Nokia didn’t actually design the thing themselves. Instead, they launched a contest last September where they asked people to submit fresh takes on Grande Valse, the Spanish guitar tune that’s been burned into every Nokia user’s brain since 1994.
The Finnish company received over 6,000 entries (some of which weren’t even ringtones, apparently), and a panel of 7 judges sifted through all of them to find a winner.
Valerio Alessandro Sizzi’s dubstep remix took top honors, a...

Motorola Droid X2 support page talks about the Android 2.3.4 Update

Well what do you know, Verizon and Motorola are preparing to launch an update for the Droid X2. We’ve no idea when that will exactly happen — as far as I know you may be getting it while reading this — but since the update already got a dedicated page at Verizon’s website (PDF file is here), I assume this will happen sooner rather than later.

Danish firm unveils a mobile phone that lasts forever
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
You’ve probably heard about some projects that aim to make eco-friendly disposable mobile phones. Here’s something completely different – a mobile phone that never will need to be replaced. Danish company Æsir is behind this product, which we could also call somewhat eco-friendly presuming such a device won’t be replaced as often as “regular” phones.
Unfortunately we don’t know the price, but I doubt we’re talking about a cheap device, considering the quality of its parts. Similarly, we don’t have the specs sheet, but yet again I will presume this is a basic feature phone.

Acer will be launching a Windows Phone Mango-based device called Allegro in Europe at some point “before Christmas.” According to Telecompaper, the Taiwanese company will ask 299 EUR for the new phone, which BTW looks as the W4 we’ve seen before (and which is pictured above).
