Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCAmaze 4G
Earlier this month, we got a quick glance at a new HTC handset headed to T-Mobile, but some more official-looking shots of the HTC Amaze / Ruby have just bubbled up. No additional information, like a release date, accompanied these shots unfortunately.

The ZTE Tania, unveiled at China International Communications Exhibition 2011, lies just around the mid-range of WP devices, so it doesn’t go into dual-core territory, but it’s still got some decent-looking specs.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Last week AllthingsD broke the rumor that the Apple iPhone 5 Media event takes place on Tuesday, October 4. Today John Paczkowski follows up that rumor with the location of the Apple media event. Apple is supposed to host the event at the Apple Campus and not in downtown San Francisco as usual. All iPhone models and iPads have been unveiled in venues outside of the Apple campus.
