landlines look cool. Android-packing house phone
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones, Services on March 9, 2010
While the mobile phone has excelled itself over the years to being a covetable, must-have device, the humble house phone has never quite reached the same level of desirability. A bit like the car insurance of the phone world – you had it just because you had to, not because you really wanted it.That was, perhaps, until now.DSP Group has just pulled the covers off its new Android-packing house phone at CeBit, complete w……
Samsung's Stunt
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones, Portable device. on March 9, 2010
Looking for a rightful successor to your now-aging SCH-R211? Samsung and Cricket would like you to look no further than the SCH-R100 Stunt, a dead ringer for the candybar of the same name that launched on MetroPCS back in December of last year. It turns out this is a little bit more than your average ultra-basic phone, though: Cricket says this device is introducing Bluetooth to the lowest tier of its lineup, a particularly useful feature now that using the handset while driving is a no-no in m……
review: Motorola Devour
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones, Multimedia, Portable device. on March 9, 2010
While Motorola's vanilla-Android Droid has become the most recognizable Android device on the market — thanks in part to a bombastic ad campaign — Motorola's primary focus has been on its own custom Blur UI. At least, if quantity of devices are any indication. Hitting Verizon just as the Blur-powered Backflip heads to AT&T, the new Motorola Devour is an odd cross section of the “consumery” Backflip and Cliq, and the high-end Droid slider. We've been playing with the phone for ……

looks pretty much the same, New LG watch phone pictured
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones, Portable device. on March 4, 2010
It seems that the insanely expensive LG GD910 wristwatch phone will be getting a successor. The evidence is quite solid – the new watch phone posed for some live shots during the LG Digital Experience in Brazil.
The new LG wristwatch phone
As you can see from the photos the new gadget resembles its predecessor and remains on the thick side. The two “major” differences in the design are the oval edges and the LG logo position. The Bluetooth headset also looks the same as those supplied with the G……
comes with make up, Samsung S7070 Diva hits UK stores
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones on March 4, 2010
The furniture-inspired Samsung S7070 Diva with its quilted back is in UK stores now. While the diamond-shaped center key on the front tries to reinforce the feel of luxury, the social networking integration and the Wish List application aim to keep ladies occupied.
The Samsung S7070 Diva runs the traditional Samsung TouchWiz on its 2.8″ QVGA touchscreen, but its fashion-conscious design sets it apart from the usual suspects. The S7070 Diva supports microSD cards up to 8GB, has DNSe (though there's ……
The mysterious BlackBerry Slider poses for close pictures
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones, Portable device. on March 4, 2010
The first clear images of the BlackBerry's pioneer slider leaked online. The mysterious device sports touchscreen, optical trackpad, sliding full QWERTY keyboard and runs on BlackBerry OS 6.
There is little info about the specs yet since the prototype appearing on the pictures below had a faulty battery and couldn't power on. However even that battery turned out to be unseen before in a BlackBerry device. Its model is FX-1 with 1050 mAh of capacity. We said unseen, not impressive, right?

for Windows Mobile just launched Native version of Opera Mini
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Multimedia, Software on March 4, 2010
Opera Mini now speaks Windows Mobile-ish! In other words, the platform now enjoys a native version of the Opera Mini 5 web browser. Up until now, WinMo users needed Java support, but that's no more.
After Skype ditched support and development for their WinMo native app, Opera are going the other way.
The Opera Mobile 10 beta has been out there for a few months but the Mini version has several advantages that make it worth downloading. The Opera Mini 5 for WinMo, just like its Java-based sibling,……
now available on Android 2.1 Google Earth
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones, Portable device., Services on February 22, 2010
After a totally nonchalant, non-announcement type of showing by Erick Tseng at Eric Schmidt's MWC keynote last week (thanks to Phone Scoop for pointing that out), the Android version of Google Earth is now available in the Market for download to the Nexus One (and, in the future, “most” other devices running 2.1 or newer). Previously, it'd only been available as a mobile app on the iPhone — a rare example of Google treating Apple's platform better than its own — but with modern An……
