Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesNOKIAOrangeLumia 800

The smartphone was launched in Austria at the end of 2011 and became available early in January.

Effort underway to port HARET / Android to Gen 1 Windows Phones
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftGoogleAndroidWindows Phone 7
Some ex-Windows Mobile users may remember HARET as the tool used to enable to booting of Android on the old HTC HD2.
Now an effort is underway to bring the tool to Windows Phone 7. I think it is safe to say the lead on the project is doing this more as a way to convert a nice Windows Phones to Android, writing:
WP7 is and will be shipped on many devices with quality hardware. In order to be able to run Linux on these, a novel aim is to investigate the use of HaRET on WP7 based devices.
I am sure however that there are a few Windows Phone users who would not mind hacking around with their device to access the full potential of the hardware.

LG Optimus series gets a new logo
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesLG
LG unveiled a new logo for its Optimus smartphones (and tablets), designed to “accentuate the metallic edges and slim shape of the 2012 smartphone line-up.” Moreover, the logo is said to “embody modern and seamless simplicity,” which is apparently the core for LG’s design philosophy for mobile devices.
And the new logo is just a start – the Korean company is also preparing to launch “superior smartphones” that “bring design prestige” to users seeking aesthetic beauty on technological devices.

Notion Ink releases Adam ICS Beta ROM, but it's a bit raw
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleNotion InkAndroid 4.0
Notion Ink CEO Rohan Shravan has been keeping everyone up to speed on the development process for the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Notion Ink Adam tablet, and today marks a pretty big day in that process. Just before the new year, Rohan showed off a pre-Alpha build of the Android 4.0 update, but today brought the beta release of the ROM.
The development seems to have come along fairly well, and the team now has confirmed that 3G is now working, as well as graphics acceleration, YouTube HD, and USB. The beta ROM also fixes the sleep bug, and improves WiFi and sound compared to earlier releases. That said, it is still a beta, so not everything is working. The camera still doesn't work, n...

Samsung Galaxy S III resolution may have been leaked
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S III
A leaked User Agent Profile (UAProf) is one of the least reliable sources of accurate information about an upcoming mobile device. For example, the leaked UAProf for the Galaxy Nexus claimed that it had a WVGA (480x800) screen, which was obviously quite untrue. That said, the new UAProf leak for the Samsung Galaxy S III looks a bit more realistic, although not 100% believable.
The leaked document lists the screen resolution of the Galaxy S III as 1024x600. On first glance, that seems like a resolution high enough to be real, and the 16:9 aspect ratio is very interesting as well. A true 16:9 ratio on the screen would likely make for a slightly more elongated form factor than what we normally...

Quad-core Motorola ATRIX 3 revealed with 3300mAh battery (Rumour)
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaAtrix 3
This one could go either way, but I’m inclined to believe it based on Motorola’s history. A shot of a device has leaked that purports to be the ATRIX 3, complete with a 4.3-inch 720p screen, quad-core Tegra 3 processor, 2GB RAM and a whopping 3300mAh battery. Also note that the device in question does not have any capacitive buttons up front, which jibes with the previous render of Motorola’s Medfield-powered handset. And, since it’s about to be purchased by Google, it would make sense that future handsets would eschew those buttons for the Google-endorsed on-screen variety. Apparently the camera has received a bump to 10MP with dual LED flashes, but we can’t see around back to confirm. The ...

Swype updated to support Ice Cream Sandwich

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTC
Last August, HTC said all its phones going forward would be released with an unlocked bootloader. It also promised to unlock bootloaders for some older models as well. We thought the Taiwanese company meant the Incredible 2 or other recent phones released in the last year or so. Leave it to HTC to surprise us all with a bootloader unlocking tool that works on phones as old as the HTC Hero.
A post on HTC’s Google+ account confirms that the HTC Hero, Legend, Droid Eris, myTouch 3G, and myTouch 4G are now supported by this utility. You can grab the unlocking tool and instructions from HTC’s dev site. Just select “Unlock Bootloader”, choose your phone and follow the directions. This unlock is ba...

Sony finally waves goodbye to Ericsson
Like UnlikeFiled in: Sony
Sony's takeover of Sony Ericsson has been officially completed, with the firm buying out Ericsson's 50% stake in the mobile device company.
The £871 million deal was announced in October last year and sees Sony take full control of the firm which it has renamed Sony Mobile Communications.
This means Sony will now produce handsets bearing only its name, and we've already seen the first of these in the form of the Xperia S.
Plenty more where that came from
Several more Sony branded mobiles are expected to launch at MWC 2012 in Barcelona with the likes of the Xperia U, Xperia P and Tapioca all in with a chance of a possible appearance.
