Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones, Portable device. on July 1, 2010
While earlier rumors of the still unannounced Nokia N9 predicted that Nokia's next Symbian^3-based device will come with a 3.5-inch touchscreen now it turned out that the phone will actually feature a way larger 4″ display. And there's a photo evidence to prove that!

squares up to Android – Motorola Flipout
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones, Portable device. on June 4, 2010

We managed to get an early look at the HDMI dock for the Dell Streak way back in February courtesy of T3's Greek site, but the accessory is now finally official (if not widely available), and Laptop Magazine has come through with what appears to be the first proper hands-on.

Perhaps just as no……

Quickly becoming the most well-leaked handsets since the next iPhone, Motorola's fine little piece of kit informally known so far as the Droid Shadow / Xtreme has shown up yet again — and this time, we're getting a great view of that bulbous posterior. The 8 megapixel cam, HD video capture, and dual LED flash are all confirmed, which takes just a little edge off the EVO 4G's reign, we'd say. Competition is grand, ain't it?
