Research in Motion has had better days — and years, for that matter — but it’s always had a loyal partner in AT&T, a company that’s cranked out BlackBerry products faithfully for the past twelve years. The tradition continues, as the GSM giant has announced its intentions to bring the 4G BlackBerry Torch 9810 (aka the Torch 2) to stores sometime this month, followed by the 4G BlackBerry Torch 9860 and 4G Bold 9900 “later this year.” No specific dates or prices were given on any of the devices.The Torch 9810 comes with a 1.2GHz CPU, 3.2-inch touch display, a total of 8GB internal memory (with microSD expansion up to 32GB), and a 5 megapixel camera with 720p HD video capture. Oh, and about the “4G” in the title? An AT&T spokesperson confirmed to us that the moniker is simply referring to HSPA+, capping at 14.4Mbps. It’s definitely a step up from the original Torch 9800, at least, but our appetite for 4G of the LTE variety runs deep. Will this be too little too late for the Canadian manufacturer, or can this year’s fall lineup be enough to keep the company healthy until QNX rolls into town?
There’s still no confirmation as to when it will be headed to the soon-to-be-released Verizon Xperia Play, but Recombu is reporting that at least some iterations of the phone will be getting upgraded to Android 2.3.3 next week, at which point the Xperia Arc will also get bumped up to the same version. Assuming there’s no surprises in the next week, that would seem to make them the first non-Nexus phones to get the update. What’s more, in addition to various Android-related updates, both phones will also be getting Sony Ericsson’s so-called “Facebook inside Xperia” update, which promises to more deeply integrate your phone (including your calendar, contacts, and even music) with the social network.

The cellular phones industry has advanced allot in the past few years.
Starting with just a piece of portable parts, it had the ability to provide wireless communications.
SMS ( Short Messaging Service ) came after that which was very much like the E-Mail( Electronic Mail ), but much shorter.
Music players started being built into cell phones then along with MMS( MultiMedia Messaging Service ) facilities, internet browsing
capabilities and they went to the extent of pushing in Cameras into cell phones.
You can do just about anything with a modern cell phone today, just about anything.
However, Samsung has now accomplished it all!
Samsung is all set to launch its new Fitness Focused phone. It has been named the miCoach (F110), the
quad band slider handset boasts of an inbuilt dedicated fitness button that once connected to a step
counter and a heart rate monitor will give you detailed information about your heart beat, distance
covered and time spent, while you’re out on a jog. It does not end at that, apart from allowing you to
record the information for future reference and also send it to a computer, it can give you real time
updates through the headphones, simply by tapping the screen!
This phone has an inbuilt function of measuring and judging whether you’re running too fast or
too slow according to the fitness programme selected by you.
The miCoach is expected to have over 200 different training programmes, accessible via a fitness
website ranging from programmes to help you lose weight or to train you and help you practice for
running a marathon. It will have the ability to measure your running speed within 4 zones to best suit
your training according to information collected through an initial assessment run.
Racing ahead of the Nike - Apple iPod partnership, Samsung Mobile has gone in with Adidas for this
offering. Users will get a heart rate monitor and step counter (called a footpod), upon purchasing the
handset.
The miCoach also boasts of 1 GB Memory for storing your songs to be played when you’re out exercising.
Just as if this wasn’t enough, the 2 mega pixel camera can help you record your whole work out for you to
see later, and judge how good it was.
Supporting this cause, Samsung mobile will be launching a website dedicated to miCoach users to help
them plan their jogs, track their progress and maintain a permanent diary of their work outs by entering
information into their online account and updating it regularly.
The miCoach is expected to hit the markets later next month, it is difficult to wait that long, but
well, do we have a choice?
However, fitness freaks looking for a similar technology like that in the miCoach, without the “phone”
element, will be extremely disappointed. A representative of Samsung Mobile said that they did not have
any plans of releasing the miCoach system without the phone element, at least not in the near future.
The wait is (almost) over. Just as we expected, Nokia N810 WiMAX has been announced from the CTIA floor. However, don’t expect it to hit the markets till summer, when it will be available in areas where WiMAX connectivity is available. No word whether the original N810 specs are changed or not (aside from WiMAX radio, of course).
In the other news, the Finish giant unveiled two new CDMA devices for the North America - Nokia 3606 and Nokia 1606. The first, more powerful one boasts a 1.3 megapixel camera with LED flash, stereo Bluetooth support, microSD slot. On the other hand, the 1606 model is the basic feature phone that neatly doubles as a flashlight, which will work even if the device is powered off. Both Nokia 3606 and Nokia 1606 are expected to be available in Q3 2008. No carrier partners have been announced.
I always thought the Sony Ericsson W910 is a special handset. As a matter of fact, I’ve called it the best non-smart musicphone for couple of times.
So I was not that surprised to learn that GSMA honored it with the Best Handset 2008 award. We’re not sure whether judges like the shake control, auto-rotate feature, 3D jave games or HSDPA — or everything that combined — it’s just the fact that the Swedish-Japanese handset maker has one of the best on-the-go entertainment devices in its portfolio. Yeah, we also suggest the W910 for those not looking to buy a smartphone, but an easy to use yet powerful music phone… Full release follows after the jump.
Last week Dusan wrote about an all black 6300 and there was only one picture available at the time. Chinese site ZOL has got the scoop with a device that looks like it came straight out of the factory and if you thought the original 6300 was handsome then you have to check out these shots.
The Nokia 6300 is a wildly successful product and was the number one revenue and profit generator for Nokia the last quarter.
There’s a rumor floating around the net about a new Sony Ericsson Z660i metallic clamshell.
First a drawing of SE Z660i appeared on Esato boards and then, what looks like an official press picture for the same handset turned up on a Thai (I think) site Se Sites.
The previous N810 unboxing video was awesome because of the Sountrack the guy used, this one is awesome because the producer uses an awesome camcorder to get insane amounts of detail. WOM World, the PR Firm Nseries Hires that speaks exclusively to bloggers, recommended this video and I’m in full on agreement. There is also a 2 part video (1 and 2) done by the same guy where he compares the N810 to the N800. Personally I always thought the 770 was more handsome than the N800, but the N810 is clearly the new hottie on the block:
