The next iPhone might feature a screen that is less than 4

The next iPhone might feature a screen that is less than 4", contrary to popular beliefs

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG15

Despite persistent rumors that the screen on the next iPhone will be 4"-4.2", extrapolated from some hearsay, concept renders, or alleged leaked bezels, the almighty "upstream supply chain sources" of Digitimes report that this might turn out to be just the public's opinion on it.

They say that the screen will most likely be 3.5"-3.7", but the thinner bezel surrounding it is making it look bigger. Another nugget of info from the news piece is that the back of the phone will be crafted out of metal, not the easy to shatter and heavy glass it has now. The rest of the rumored specs are regurgitated - A5 dual-core processor, 8MP camera and uber-thin design.

HTC Omega spotted in the wild on Algerian auction site?

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG15

Just a few days after its renders first leaked, the HTC Omega has apparently been spotted in the wild, on an Algerian auction site, of all places. French blog Mon Windows Phone claims that the rumored Mango device may sport a Snapdragon MSM8255 1.5Ghz processor, 512MB of RAM and a 3.8-inch LCD, though it's hard to glean too many specifics from the blurry images featured on the auction site. The blog also spotted an eight megapixel camera around back, along with that front-facing shooter that Microsoft's been touting, while the listing claims that the phone boasts up to 8GB of storage capacity. The white-and-gray Omega is rumored to debut at this week's HTC event in London, though details on ...

Sprint asks dealers to secretively deny to comment on iPhone 5 rumor

Sprint asks dealers to secretively deny to comment on iPhone 5 rumor

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG15

A Sprint-bound iPhone 5? The Wall Street Journal has been spreading the juicy rumor last week, hence the Now Network expects a flood of questions, so it has issued a how-to guide for dealers facing the issue of a news hungry Sprint customer. Instead of simply rejecting the rumor, as that seems the most obvious thing to do with a false statement, Sprint has asked dealers to answer with a vague “no comment.” If the iPhone news hungry Sprint customer continues to ask questions, dealers should admit they’ve seen the rumors, but finally redirect customers to Sprint’s official news wire.

Samsung leaks Nexus Prime handset itself

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG3

It looks like Samsung itself has gone and confirmed it is going to be behind the long rumoured inbound Nexus Prime handset. Samsung has worked on the Nexus line before, as they built the Google Nexus S, so their involvement shouldn't come as any great surprise.
The new phone was mentioned in a cease and desist letter sent out to those who allegedly managed to get their hands on firmware relating to the as-yet unreleased handset.

PocketNow has a leaked photo of the upcoming HTC Omega and it looks like there's a front facing camera. WP7 has lagged on that so it's great to see them reach some feature parity. Oh and using a 1.5Ghz Snapdragon processor doesn't hurt either.

Carriers worry over Android/iPhone, may return to BlackBerry

Carriers worry over Android/iPhone, may return to BlackBerry

Posted on Aug 29, 2011 by MG3

RIM may see a bounce back in the market simply out of carrier worries of an Apple and Google duopoly, Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu learned on Friday. After talking to carriers, he heard that networks are worried about the "growing dominance" of Android and the iPhone and were sorely looking for a third option to keep competition up. With Nokia not due to ship its first Windows Phones until September, he said, the BlackBerry could benefit simply by being a well-established company with a recently revamped phone line.
