Report: Apple To Build 26 Million iPhone 5 (or whatever it’s called) In The Second Half Of 2011
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4
Apple is gearing up for a big second half of 2011. The computer company is reportedly ramping up iPhone production lines by 12 to 13 percent, which includes orders for the next-gen iPhone, iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4.
Per a supply chain source, industry watchdog DigiTimes is reporting some staggering production numbers. Apparently Apple’s 2H2011 iPhone order is now more than 56 million units, up from 50 million units and 26 just iPhone 5s. Interestingly enough, the time frame for iPhone 5 orders shifted slightly, with the Q3 order decreasing from 7 million units to 5.5 million units while the Q4 order increased from 14 million units to 20 million units. That’s 20 million iPhone 5s. If those ...

Carriers testing LTE-enabled 4G iPhone?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4
Earlier this year, Verizon CEO Dan Mead all but confirmed that an LTE Apple device would be making its way to Verizon. Eventually. And no 2011 Apple rumor spattering would be complete without at least a casual mention of the high-speed 4G network. Now, BGR claims to have received an internal iOS test build from a major carrier, revealing a property list file for LTE. This of course doesn't guarantee that Apple will be shipping an LTE iPhone flavor later this year, but that it at least remains a possibility. Still, an October iPhone launch would fall nicely in line with recent confirmation that AT&T will be releasing an LTE smartphone in "late 2011," and 4G compatibility could definitely expl...

BlackBerry Curve Touch 9380 'Orlando' gets pictured, tourists not included
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesRIM BlackBerryCurve 9380
These Blurrycam images you see above? Nope, not the Torch 9860. It's actually the BlackBerry Curve Touch 9380, also known as the Orlando. The phone's popped up on our radar screen once before as a render, with a few midrange specs revealed: a 800MHz Qualcomm MSM8655 processor, 3.25-inch HVGA screen, 5 megapixel camera with HD video, 1GB storage with microSD expansion and 512MB of RAM, and NFC were getting kicked around as possible features. We don't have any updates on the specs yet, but the forum member responsible for the images claims it's scheduled for a Q4 release, it runs on OS 7, and has two variants: the Orlando is actually of the GSM flavor, while the Malibu represents the CDMA side...

Microsoft patents new type of mobile slider, puts keyboards and screens on equal footing
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMicrosoft
Patents are the currency of the realm these days, and companies accrue them however they can -- whether filing for their own or buying someone else's. Microsoft's no stranger to the patent game, and it's added one more piece to its IP stockpile in the form of a "moveable housing of a mobile communications device." A broad title, to be sure, but the patent essentially covers sliders where the keyboard ends up flush with the screen after it's moved. In existing designs, the sliding display gets in the way of pressing the top row of keys, and squishing the grid's size or fattening up the phone are the only ways to make space for fingers to press them.

HTC Bliss stops by the FCC dressed in Verizon red (update)
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCBliss
Looking for a little FCC Friday rapture? HTC's rumored "women only" smartphone, the Bliss, just passed through the Commission's gates for a bit of strut and tell. Sporting the model number PI46110, the handset seems destined for a Big Red debut with CDMA 850MHz / 1900MHz bands, WiFi and Bluetooth on-board. The carrier looks to be continuing its recent trend of global-capable phones, as the device also packs a GSM 900MHz radio. While we weren't able to dig out any concrete dimensions for the phone, we'd err on the side of a 4-inch or below display, considering VZW's past dalliances with gender-specific marketing -- no, we haven't forgotten those Pre Plus ads. If that leaked roadmap is any ind...

Galaxy S2 Release is on August 29, Confirmed.
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
Earier today we reported that the Galaxy S2 is not launching today as was rumored. Just now Samsung Mobile sent us an invite to a media event on August 29 in New York. The invite is not revealing much, but it has a "II" on it. The II clearly hints to the Samsung Galaxy S2 and since the invite is from Samsung Mobile it is almost sure that the 29 marks the launch of the Galaxy S2 in the US. Now I just saw that the image of the invite flyer has actually "Galaxy_S_II" in the file name. So there is no doubt that the Galaxy S2 will be released on August 29.

iCloud iPhone: Apple’s budget masterplan outed?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesApple
Here’s a wild rumour to sit alongside the latest chatter about the iPhone 5 launch: the cheaper iPhone we’ve been calling the iPhone 4S is coming, will have substantially less flash storage than we’re used to and will rely heavily on iCloud to do its magic. The new name being pinned to this currently mythical device? The iCloud iPhone. Yes, really.

Orange UK turns on its HP Pre 3 support page, still no launch date
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHPPre3
Across the Atlantic, Orange UK has turned on its support page for the upcoming HP Pre3. Before Orange customers get terribly excited, the site offers nothing in the way of a UK launch date for the webOS device. On the other hand, it does confirm the specs on the device like the 1.2GHz dual-core processor, the 3.6 inch WVGA screen and a 5MP camera that captures video at 720p. Pre-installed is webOS 2.2 and 512MB of RAM is aboard. The HP Pre 3 comes with 8GB of internal storage but has no microSD slot.

Does the HTC Ruby have a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon under its hood?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCAmaze 4G
We recently reported that the HTC Ruby was headed to T-Mobile, thanks to pictures that show the carrier's branding on the case of the handset. At the time, we had no idea if this was to be a budget priced phone for the kiddies, or a heavy duty, high-end device for power users. As it turns out, specs of the device obtained by TmoNews suggest that the HTC Ruby fits into the latter category.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S Plus
The Galaxy S Plus was the bee's knees of the mobile world for a day, promising a boost in its predecessor's internals and becoming a less expensive alternative to the flagship Galaxy S II. It definitely didn't take long for it to go public, as it's become available on Vodafone. The Plus appears to begin as an exclusive for the carrier before spreading its wings to other parts of the global sphere.
