It's not as low-end as the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;FONE, &lt;/span&gt;but the feature list reads more like 2003 than the current day. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quad band &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;128×128 65k color &lt;span class="caps"&gt;CSTN &lt;/span&gt;screen&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Speakerphone&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Memory for 750 &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SMS &lt;/span&gt;messages&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Motorola will begin shipping the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W205 &lt;/span&gt;phone in the first quarter.

Carriers were not announced. The &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W205 &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W215 &lt;/span&gt;are two more new models in the W series. All should come in at a competitive price point. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/23/nokia-e61i"&gt;Nokia E61i announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 23 - 08:02 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_nokia.php"&gt;Nokia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="nokia-e61i.jpg" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/nokia-e61i.jpg" align="right" height="257" width="250" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress --&lt;/span&gt; The &lt;strong&gt;Nokia &lt;span class="caps"&gt;E61&lt;/span&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt; was the third new E-Series handset announced at 3GSM this year (see Nokia &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/23/nokia-e65"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;E65&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/nokia-e90-communicator"&gt;Nokia &lt;span class="caps"&gt;E90&lt;/span&gt; Communicator&lt;/a&gt; for more info on the other handsets). The E-Series is Nokia's business targeted handset vertical and the phones ship with more mobile email and productivity apps than the multimedia-centric N-Series. The &lt;span class="caps"&gt;E61&lt;/span&gt;i is an update to the &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2005/10/12/nokia-e61"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;E61&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a"BlackBerry Killer" that was announced back in October 2005. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Features of the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;E61&lt;/span&gt;i include:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quad band &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM, WCDMA&lt;/span&gt; 2100 and WiFi (WLAN)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Updated keyboard with One Touch key&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Advanced attachment handling with on-device editing&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Corporate email support for Intellisync, Good, Exchange, Seven and BlackBerry Connect&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 megapixel camera&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Music and video player&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Nokia will begin shipping the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;E61&lt;/span&gt;i in the second quarter of 2007. Without a subsidy it will run around 400 euro. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/23/nokia-e61i"&gt;[MORE]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/23/nokia-e65"&gt;Nokia E65 announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 23 - 07:48 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_nokia.php"&gt;Nokia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="nokia e65" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/nokia-e65.jpg" align="right" height="268" width="250" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress --&lt;/span&gt; The &lt;strong&gt;Nokia &lt;span class="caps"&gt;E65&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a new model in the business oriented Nokia E-Series. The &lt;span class="caps"&gt;E65 &lt;/span&gt;packs business features into a slim 15mm package. The slide-style handset&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quad band &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM &lt;/span&gt;plus &lt;span class="caps"&gt;WCDMA&lt;/span&gt; 2100&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;WiFi, Bluetooth and IR&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;QVGA &lt;/span&gt;screen with 16m colors&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 megapixel camera&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;microSD card slot&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;One Touch key for easy access to  business apps&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;The Nokia &lt;span class="caps"&gt;E65 &lt;/span&gt;is already shipping in select markets and will expand globally later in the quarter. The unsubsidized price is 400 euro. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/youtube-mobile-nokia"&gt;YouTube videos coming to Nokia N-Series handsets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 06:03 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_nokia.php"&gt;Nokia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="youtube-logo.gif" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/images/youtube-logo.gif" align="right" height="48" width="254" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress --&lt;/span&gt; Nokia has &lt;a href="http://www.nokia.com/A4136001?newsid=1104222"&gt;inked a deal&lt;/a&gt; with YouTube to bring the popular video sharing website's videos to users of Nokia's N-Series handsets. The videos will be accessible through &lt;a href="http://www.nokia.com/browser"&gt;Nokia Mini Map Browser&lt;/a&gt; and a soon-to-launch mobilized version of YouTube. YouTube's main site uses Flash video but the new mobile site will utilize &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;H.264&lt;/span&gt;/AVC&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;"We are thrilled to be giving users easy access to entertaining YouTube videos anytime and anywhere. By partnering with an industry leader like Nokia, we're able to bring YouTube videos to mobile phone users worldwide," said Steve Chen, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer for YouTube. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Interestingly enough, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/adobe-flash-lite-3"&gt;Adobe announced earlier today&lt;/a&gt; that the next version of Flash Lite will support Flash Video. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/nokia-e90-communicator"&gt;Nokia E90 Communicator announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 05:51 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3g.php"&gt;3G&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_nokia.php"&gt;Nokia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="nokia e90 communicator" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/nokia-e90-communicator.jpg" height="233" width="450" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress --&lt;/span&gt; The new &lt;strong&gt;Nokia &lt;span class="caps"&gt;E90&lt;/span&gt; Communicator&lt;/strong&gt; takes on where the &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2005/11/29/nokia-9300i-communicator"&gt;9300i Communicator&lt;/a&gt; left off. It keeps the familiar laptop-esque form factor but makes a lot of upgrades under the hood. One big change is that the device is now on the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;S60 &lt;/span&gt;platform instead of Series 90. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Features of the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;E90&lt;/span&gt; Communicator include:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quad band &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM &lt;/span&gt;plus &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HSDPA &lt;/span&gt;and WiFi&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus and a &lt;span class="caps"&gt;VGA &lt;/span&gt;camera for video calls&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;FM Radio&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Integrated &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GPS &lt;/span&gt;with Nokia Maps&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Another photo of the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;E90 &lt;/span&gt;is available below. More information coming soon.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/nokia-e90-communicator"&gt;[MORE]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/nokia-n77"&gt;Nokia N77 TV phone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 05:28 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_nokia.php"&gt;Nokia&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="nokia n77" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/nokia-n77.jpg" align="right" height="325" width="153" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress --&lt;/span&gt; The &lt;strong&gt;Nokia &lt;span class="caps"&gt;N77&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a pocketable &lt;span class="caps"&gt;DVB&lt;/span&gt;-H compatible mobile TV phone. The &lt;span class="caps"&gt;N77'&lt;/span&gt;s more conventional (and fairly compact) form factor is in contrast to &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2005/11/02/nokia-n92"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;N92&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; which is the only other &lt;span class="caps"&gt;DVB&lt;/span&gt;-H N-Series handset. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Features of the Nokia &lt;span class="caps"&gt;N77 &lt;/span&gt;include:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Live &lt;span class="caps"&gt;DVB&lt;/span&gt;-H TV viewing with a dedicated TV key&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Music player with support for &lt;span class="caps"&gt;MP3, AAC, AAC&lt;/span&gt;+, eAAC+ and &lt;span class="caps"&gt;WMA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 megapixel camera plus &lt;span class="caps"&gt;VGA &lt;/span&gt;camera for video calls&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tri-band &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM &lt;/span&gt;(900/1800/1900) plus &lt;span class="caps"&gt;WCDMA&lt;/span&gt; 2100 and &lt;span class="caps"&gt;EDGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;QVGA &lt;/span&gt;screen with 16 million colors&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bluetooth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Nokia will begin shipping the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;N77 &lt;/span&gt;in the second quarter for an estimated 370 euros. It will be marketed in countries with &lt;span class="caps"&gt;DVB&lt;/span&gt;-H service. The &lt;span class="caps"&gt;N77 &lt;/span&gt;was Nokia main consumer introduction at the 3GSM show. Other key announcements included new models in the business targeted E-Series.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/nokia-n77"&gt;[MORE]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/motorola-q-q9"&gt;Motorola Q q9 with HSDPA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 05:17 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3g.php"&gt;3G&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_motorola.php"&gt;Motorola&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_smartphone.php"&gt;Smartphone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="motorola q q9" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/motorola-q-q9.jpg" align="right" height="275" width="171" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress --&lt;/span&gt; 3GSM's flurry of handset announcements is in full force this morning with most major manufacturers showing off several new models. The latest is the &lt;strong&gt;Motorola Moto Q q9&lt;/strong&gt; which is the next generation Q which is the second handset out of the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SCPL &lt;/span&gt;platform (the first was &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2006/07/25/motorola-motofone"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;FONE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;). The original Q was &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/motorola-q-gsm"&gt;also announced in a &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM &lt;/span&gt;configuration&lt;/a&gt; today. Like the Q gsm, the Q q9 runs &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/windows-mobile-6"&gt;Windows Mobile 6&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Features of the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;MOTOQ &lt;/span&gt;q9 include:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quad-band &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM &lt;/span&gt;plus 3.6 megabit &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HSDPA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;QVGA &lt;/span&gt;display&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Just 11.8mm thick&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 megapixel camera&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stereo Bluetooth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;microSD card slot&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Motorola expects to begin shipping the Q q9 in the second quarter. Because of the quad-band radio it's possible that we'll see a US launch.

Its announcement comes  a little more than six months after the &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2006/07/24/motorola-krzr-k1"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;KRZR K1'&lt;/span&gt;s introduction&lt;/a&gt;. The biggest design difference with the K3 compared to the K1 is the addition of a second camera for video calling. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Features of the Motorola &lt;span class="caps"&gt;KRZR&lt;/span&gt; K3 include:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;QVGA &lt;/span&gt;display with 260k colors&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;HSDPA &lt;/span&gt;and &lt;span class="caps"&gt;UMTS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Stereo Bluetooth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;50MB end user memory plus microSD memory card slot&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 megapixel camera for imaging plus &lt;span class="caps"&gt;VGA &lt;/span&gt;camera for video calling&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Motorola will begin shipping the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;KRZR&lt;/span&gt; K3 later in the first quarter. More photos of the device are available below.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/motorola-krzr-k3"&gt;[MORE]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/motorola-q-gsm"&gt;Motorola Q gsm announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 03:44 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_motorola.php"&gt;Motorola&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="motorola q gsm" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/motorola-q-gsm.jpg" align="right" height="250" width="164" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress --&lt;/span&gt; From &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2005/07/25/moto-q"&gt;day one&lt;/a&gt; Motorola said that the Q would come out supporting different network standards. Today the Chicago based company made good on that promise, enter &lt;strong&gt;Motorola Q gsm&lt;/strong&gt;. For users that want 3G Motorola also announced the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/motorola-q-q9"&gt;Q q9&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; today. It's a next generation Q with &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HSDPA.&lt;/span&gt; Besides supporting &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM, &lt;/span&gt;the Q gsm is also one of the first phones to feature &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/windows-mobile-6"&gt;Windows Mobile 6&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Features of the Motorola Q gsm&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quad-band &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM &lt;/span&gt;plus Class 10 &lt;span class="caps"&gt;EDGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;miniSD memory card slot (miniSDIO supported for things such as WiFi)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Windows Mobile 6 &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1.3 megapixel camera&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bluetooth with &lt;span class="caps"&gt;A2DP &lt;/span&gt;stereo support&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;The Motorola Q gsm will begin shipping in the second quarter. Pricing and carrier availability were not announced. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/motorola-rizr-z8"&gt;Motorola RIZR Z8&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 03:27 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_motorola.php"&gt;Motorola&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress --&lt;/span&gt; &lt;img alt="motorola-rizr-z8.jpg" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/motorola-rizr-z8.jpg" align="right" height="325" width="161" /&gt;Motorola has expanded the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;RIZR &lt;/span&gt;family with the &lt;a href="http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/details.jsp?globalObjectId=183"&gt;introduction&lt;/a&gt; of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;RIZR&lt;/span&gt; Z8&lt;/strong&gt;. Like the recently announced &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/08/motorola-rizr-z6"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;RIZR&lt;/span&gt; Z6&lt;/a&gt;, the Z8 does away with Motorola's conventional (and heavily criticized) operating system. But instead of the Java/Linux OS that the Z6 got, the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;RIZR&lt;/span&gt; Z8 is actually powered by Symbian. A new UI sits on top of the Symbian software, so it doesn't look like a Nokia &lt;span class="caps"&gt;S60. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;More interesting than the OS is that the Z8 is Motorola's first "kick slider". That means instead of sliding straight up, the Z8 actually curves to better contour to a face. There's a photo of this in action below. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Other features of the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;MOTORIZR&lt;/span&gt; Z8 include:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;QVGA &lt;/span&gt;display with 16 million colors&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3.6 megabit &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HSDPA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2-megapixel camera&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;microSD card slot&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bluetooth with &lt;span class="caps"&gt;A2DP &lt;/span&gt;stereo support&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Motorola expects to launch the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;RIZR&lt;/span&gt; Z8 in April. Since Motorola was talking up a partnership with Sky, we're betting on a European launch for the device. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/motorola-rizr-z8"&gt;[MORE]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/motorola-slvr-l9"&gt;Motorola SLVR L9&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 03:12 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_motorola.php"&gt;Motorola&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress --&lt;/span&gt; &lt;img alt="motorola slvr l9" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/motorola-slvr-l9.jpg" align="right" height="300" width="137" /&gt;Motorola has &lt;a href="http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/details.jsp?globalObjectId=184"&gt;introduced&lt;/a&gt; the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;SLVR&lt;/span&gt; L9&lt;/strong&gt;, a new music handset in the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SLVR &lt;/span&gt;family. Design wise there have been few changes... A few visual elements have been modified to fit more into the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;KRZR &lt;/span&gt;style. Inside many features have been upgraded to aide music playback&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;2.0 megapixel camera&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bluetooth with &lt;span class="caps"&gt;A2DP &lt;/span&gt;stereo support&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mirror finish like the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;KRZR&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;CrystalTalk (eases conversations in noisy environments)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Music player with support for &lt;span class="caps"&gt;MP3&lt;/span&gt;/AAC/AAC+/AAC+ enhanced/ &lt;span class="caps"&gt;AMR&lt;/span&gt;/ &lt;span class="caps"&gt;WAV &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;microSD memory card slot&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;FM radio &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Motorola expects to begin shipping the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SLVR&lt;/span&gt; L9 in the second quarter. Regional availability was not announced. &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM &lt;/span&gt;frequencies were not announced (though it does have class 10 &lt;span class="caps"&gt;EDGE&lt;/span&gt;) so it's not known if the US market will get a chance. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/sidekick-3-dwyane-wade"&gt;Dwyane Wade Sidekick 3 from T-Mobile USA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 02:40 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_danger.php"&gt;Danger&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_tmobile.php"&gt;T-Mobile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="sidekick 3 d-wade" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/sidekick-3-d-wade.jpg" align="right" height="261" width="263" /&gt;T-Mobile has introduced the &lt;strong&gt;Sidekick 3 D-Wade Edition&lt;/strong&gt;, a souped up version of the venerable &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2006/06/20/sidekick-3-iii-announced"&gt;Sidekick 3&lt;/a&gt; designed by &lt;span class="caps"&gt;NBA &lt;/span&gt;phenom Dwyane Wade. Wade has been a Sidekick user for a couple of years and says he is excited to be able to put his own twist on the device:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;â€œMy T-Mobile Sidekick is a part of me. I donâ€™t go anywhere without it because it keeps me in touch with the most important people in my life,â€ said Wade. â€œI really wanted to design a Sidekick that meant something special to me â€“ one that reflects my own personal style and inspiration. Iâ€™m excited that it will soon be in the hands of people who want a great device that looks smooth.â€ &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Feature wise the special edition handset mirrors the original. However the case has been retooled in a new gold and white color scheme. The back also features a basketball-texture for extra grip (we hope it's modeled after the classic leather ball and not the ill-fated synthetic that thankfully has been phased out). &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The D-Wade Edition Sidekick goes on sale February 21st. It should be available at all corporate T-Mobile stores in addition to &lt;a href="http://www.t-mobile.com/"&gt;online&lt;/a&gt;. T-Mobile previously announced &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2006/10/13/sidekick-3-special-editions"&gt;two other special editions&lt;/a&gt; of the Sidekick 3. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/sidekick-3-dwyane-wade"&gt;[MORE]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/hp-ipaq-500"&gt;HP iPAQ 500 series Voice Communicator announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 02:26 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_smartphone.php"&gt;Smartphone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="hp ipaq 500" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/hp-ipaq-500.jpg" align="right" height="314" width="180" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress --&lt;/span&gt; The &lt;strong&gt;HP iPAQ 500 series Voice Messenger&lt;/strong&gt; is the first of what is expected to be a number of &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/windows-mobile-6"&gt;Windows Mobile 6&lt;/a&gt; smartphones to be announced at 3GSM. The small (for an iPAQ) device looks more like a phone than past smartphones from &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HP. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Features of the HP iPAQ 500 include:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quad band &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM &lt;/span&gt;plus &lt;span class="caps"&gt;EDGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;WiFi (802.11b/g) with support for VoIP&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bluetooth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;64MB user available memory plus microSD memory card slot&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;176×220 pixel screen&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Extensive voice support for hands free use&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;107mm x 48.6mm x 16.3mm&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Talk time of 6.5 hours&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;The iPAQ 500 Voice Messenger will be available this Spring in the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;US.&lt;/span&gt; International availability will follow shortly. Pricing for the device was not announced. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/windows-mobile-6"&gt;Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 01:46 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_smartphone.php"&gt;Smartphone&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="windows mobile 6" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/windows-mobile-6.jpg" align="right" height="200" width="267" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress --&lt;/span&gt; As expected, Microsoft has &lt;a href="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2007/feb07/02-11WM6SoftwarePR.mspx"&gt;taken the wraps off of&lt;/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Windows Mobile 6&lt;/strong&gt;, the next major version of its mobile operating system. The biggest addition to Windows Mobile 6 is increased support for Office and other Microsoft services like Windows Live. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Major new features of Windows Mobile 6:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;More desktop like email. Messages now retain formatting and can contain photos inline. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Office documents look more like their originals and can be edited without deleting desktop formatting &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Windows Live for Windows Mobile searches all the Live services (Hotmail, Messenger, web search, Spaces)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Call history is now contained in contacts to give some context&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tethering (using the phone as a modem from a computer) is now "one-click" easy&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improved sync support with Windows Vista&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Devices using Windows Mobile 6 will begin shipping in the second quarter. The T-Mobile Dash will be the first US-based device to contain the new software. In an uncharacteristic move, current owners of the device (which is still shipping with Windows Mobile 5.0) will be able to upgrade to version 6.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/adobe-flash-lite-3"&gt;Adobe announces video support for Flash Lite&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 01:17 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="flash-logo.jpg" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/images/flash-logo.jpg" align="right" height="120" width="159" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress --&lt;/span&gt; Adobe Systems has announced that video will be supported in &lt;strong&gt;Flash Lite 3&lt;/strong&gt;. The updated software is expected to begin shipping in the first half of the year. Flash Video saw a huge boost in market share thanks to the emergence of &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/"&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;. With Flash Lite 3 it will be possible for mobile phone users to browse sites like YouTube without any help from a carrier deck (though that probably isn't welcome news to carriers). &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Adobe also announced at the show that it has reached 200 million Flash Lite embedded device shipments. The software is bundled with over 300 devices. Verizon Wireless is the biggest user of Flash Lite among the US carriers. It's being used to power the UI of phones like the &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2006/07/31/lg-chocolate-verizon"&gt;LG Chocolate&lt;/a&gt; in addition to a number of &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2006/10/25/verizon-flash-lite"&gt;widget like applications&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/blackberry-8800"&gt;RIM BlackBerry 8800 announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 12:19 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_research_in_motion.php"&gt;Research In Motion&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="blackberry 8800" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/blackberry-8800.jpg" align="right" height="325" width="228" /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;3GSM World Congress -- &lt;/span&gt;Research In Motion has announced the &lt;strong&gt;BlackBerry 8800&lt;/strong&gt;. The 8800 combines styling first seen on the popular &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2006/09/07/blackberry-pearl"&gt;BlackBerry Pearl&lt;/a&gt; with the more conventional designs of previous business-targeted &lt;span class="caps"&gt;QWERTY&lt;/span&gt; BlackBerry handsets. &lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quad-band &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM&lt;/span&gt;/EDGE&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bluetooth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;QVGA &lt;/span&gt;display&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;microSD memory card slot&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Built-in &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GPS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;BlackBerry push email support&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Trackball navigation (like the Pearl)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;RIM &lt;/span&gt;hopes to begin shipping the BlackBerry 8800 to various carriers later this month. In the US it will debut first with &lt;span class="caps"&gt;AT&amp;T&lt;/span&gt;/Cingular. &lt;span class="caps"&gt;AT&amp;amp;T &lt;/span&gt;will begin selling the 8800 on February 21st for $299.99 with a 2-year contract. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/samsung-ultra-smart-f700"&gt;Samsung Ultra Smart F700 announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 12 - 12:00 AM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_samsung.php"&gt;Samsung&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="samsung f700" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/samsung-f700.jpg" align="right" height="249" width="280" /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Samsung Ultra Smart &lt;span class="caps"&gt;F700&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is a new feature-laden handset that some analysts are saying will pose competition to the &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/09/apple-iphone"&gt;Apple iPhone&lt;/a&gt;. Much like the iPhone, the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;F700 &lt;/span&gt;features a new Flash user interface and a large touch screen. Most of the other features on the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;F700 &lt;/span&gt;are more advanced than Apple's offering however. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Features of the Ultra Smart &lt;span class="caps"&gt;F700 &lt;/span&gt;include:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM&lt;/span&gt; 900/1800/1900 plus 7.2 megabit &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HSPDA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;5.0 megapixel camera&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Slide out &lt;span class="caps"&gt;QWERTY &lt;/span&gt;keyboard&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bluetooth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;microSD&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2.78" touch screen with VibeTonz for tactile feedback&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Samsung will show off the Ultra Smart &lt;span class="caps"&gt;F700 &lt;/span&gt;at 3GSM World Congress. The company did not announce when the handset will begin shipping or estimates of pricing. Because it lacks &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM&lt;/span&gt; 850 it will not launch in its current form in the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;US. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;[via &lt;a href="http://akihabaranews.com/en/en/news-13261-When+the+Korean+GOD+awake%2C+he+gives+us...+the+Samsung+Ultra+Smart+F700.html"&gt;Akihabara News&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/12/samsung-ultra-smart-f700"&gt;[MORE]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/11/sony-ericsson-w880i"&gt;Sony Ericsson W880i announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 11 - 11:40 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_sony_ericsson.php"&gt;Sony Ericsson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="sony ericsson w880i" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/sony-ericsson-w880i.jpg" align="right" height="350" width="223" /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Sony Ericsson &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W880&lt;/span&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt; has finally been formally announced. The device was previously dubbed &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2006/11/17/sony-ericsson-ai"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ai&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in rumors and was &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/07/sony-ericsson-w880-photos"&gt;even featured in a few "spy shots" officially released&lt;/a&gt; by Sony Ericsson back in January. All the commotion was for good reason, at just 9.4mm thick the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W880&lt;/span&gt;i is the thinnest phone [by a fair margin] Sony Ericsson has produced. As a Walkman branded handset, the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W880&lt;/span&gt;i features a sophisticated music player and playback keys.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The smaller stature doesn't take away from features though, the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W880&lt;/span&gt;i is well equipped:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM&lt;/span&gt; 900/1800/1900 + &lt;span class="caps"&gt;UMTS&lt;/span&gt; 2100&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bluetooth with &lt;span class="caps"&gt;A2DP &lt;/span&gt;stereo support&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Memory Stick Micro M2 slot (1GB card included)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;QVGA &lt;/span&gt;screen with 262k colors&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2-megapixel camera&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Sony Ericsson expects to begin shipping to select markets the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W880&lt;/span&gt;i in the current quarter. It will come in both silver/black and black/orange color schemes. There will also be a version without 3G called the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W888&lt;/span&gt;c designed for the Chinese market. Because it lacks &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM&lt;/span&gt; 850 the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W880&lt;/span&gt;i will not ship in the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;US. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/11/sony-ericsson-w880i"&gt;[MORE]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/11/sony-ericsson-w610i"&gt;Sony Ericsson W610i announced&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 11 - 11:23 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_sony_ericsson.php"&gt;Sony Ericsson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="sony ericsson w610i" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/sony-ericsson-w610i.jpg" align="right" height="325" width="139" /&gt;In advance of the 2007 3GSM World Congress, the &lt;strong&gt;Sony Ericsson &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W610&lt;/span&gt;i&lt;/strong&gt; has been announced. The &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W610&lt;/span&gt;i is another model in the popular Walkman branded line of music phones. With Apple's recent announcement of the upcoming &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/09/apple-iphone"&gt;iPhone&lt;/a&gt; there has never been more buzz about music phones. Apple may be getting a lot of ink, but Sony Ericsson has been the most successful manufacturer actually selling music phones.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Features of the Sony Ericsson &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W610&lt;/span&gt;i include:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quad band &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM &lt;/span&gt;plus &lt;span class="caps"&gt;EDGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Memory Stick Micro M2 card slot (512MB card included)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bluetooth with &lt;span class="caps"&gt;A2DP &lt;/span&gt;stereo support&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2.0 megapixel camera with auto focus&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;14mm thick&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span class="caps"&gt;W610&lt;/span&gt;i will begin shipping in the second quarter of this year. It will be available in both black and white color schemes. Pricing was not announced but should be competitive. More photos of the handset, including one of the white version, are available below. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/11/sony-ericsson-w610i"&gt;[MORE]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/09/motorola-krzr-red"&gt;Motorola KRZR K1m Fire launches from Verizon Wireless&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 09 - 06:50 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_motorola.php"&gt;Motorola&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_verizon_wireless.php"&gt;Verizon Wireless&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="motorola-krzr-k1m-red.jpg" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/motorola-krzr-k1m-red.jpg" align="right" height="275" width="127" /&gt;The recent trend of releasing existing handsets in new color schemes has continued with the launch of the &lt;strong&gt;Motorola &lt;span class="caps"&gt;KRZR&lt;/span&gt; K1m Fire&lt;/strong&gt;. The red handset is identical in features to the original black and newer white models. Verizon Wireless also &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/09/pink-lg-chocolate"&gt;added a new color of Chocolate&lt;/a&gt; to its line up, making itself one of the most colorful carriers. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Features of the Motorola &lt;span class="caps"&gt;KRZR&lt;/span&gt; K1m Fire include:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bluetooth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;EV-DO data (V Cast compatible)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Music player with playback keys on exterior &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1.3 megapixel camera&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;microSD memory card slot&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;VZN&lt;/span&gt;agivator compatible (GPS navigation)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;The &lt;span class="caps"&gt;KRZR&lt;/span&gt; K1m in all colors is &lt;a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&amp;action=viewPhoneDetail&amp;amp;selectedPhoneId=2809"&gt;available&lt;/a&gt; for $99 after a new 2-year service contract and $50 in instant savings. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/09/motorola-krzr-red"&gt;[MORE]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/02/09/pink-lg-chocolate"&gt;Pink LG Chocolate launches on Verizon Wireless&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Feb 09 - 06:24 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_lg_mobile_phone.php"&gt;LG Mobile Phone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_verizon_wireless.php"&gt;Verizon Wireless&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="pink-lg-chocolate.jpg" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/pink-lg-chocolate.jpg" align="right" height="300" width="158" /&gt;Verizon Wireless has gotten into the Valentine's day spirit by launching the &lt;strong&gt;Pink LG Chocolate&lt;/strong&gt;. Technically the shade is called Strawberry, but we've never seen strawberries quite this shade. The Chocolate is also available in black, white, red and green. Color is the only differences among the models, much like with Motorola's various shades of &lt;span class="caps"&gt;RAZR&lt;/span&gt;s. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Features of the Chocolate include:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;MP3 &lt;/span&gt;player&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;EV-DO data (V Cast compatible)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1.3 megapixel camera&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bluetooth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;microSD card slot&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;QVGA &lt;/span&gt;screen with 262k colors&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;The pink LG Chocolate is &lt;a href="http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&amp;action=viewPhoneDetail&amp;amp;selectedPhoneId=2829"&gt;available&lt;/a&gt; for $99.99 after a $50 online rebate and new 2-year service contract. That's $29.99 cheaper than all the other color schemes. The phone is available now and is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; a limited time offer for the holiday.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/30/motorola-icahn"&gt;Icahn wants seat on Motorola's board&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Jan 30 - 04:55 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_motorola.php"&gt;Motorola&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Famous investor &lt;strong&gt;Carl Icahn&lt;/strong&gt; is a large shareholder in Motorola and &lt;a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/16884715"&gt;spoke with&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;CNBC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; this afternoon, noting that he is running for a seat on the board. Icahn owns approximately 1.4% of Motorola's outstanding shares and was outspoken about the $12 billion in cash Moto is keeping around for a rainy day. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;"If they want to be money managers, they can go to Wall Street," Icahn said in a telephone conversation with [CNBC's David ] Faber. "Why sit on $12 billion, earning 3%?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Icahn believes Motorola should buy back nearly 1/3 of its outstanding shares to boost the price. He is also hoping for a board seat though no date has been set for the shareholders meeting. All 13 directors are elected annually. Shares of Motorola [&lt;a href="http://finance.google.com/finance?q=MOT"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;MOT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;] spiked nearly 7% after news of Icahn's board seat wish hit the wires. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/30/verizon-freedom"&gt;Verizon offers new bundles, battles AT&amp;T&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Jan 30 - 04:36 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_att.php"&gt;AT&amp;amp;T&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_cingular.php"&gt;Cingular&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_verizon_wireless.php"&gt;Verizon Wireless&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Verizon has introduced new callings plans that bundle wireline and wireless phone service. This comes just two weeks after &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/19/att-unity"&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;AT&amp;T&lt;/span&gt; Unity&lt;/a&gt; was introduced. Like Unity, Verizon's new &lt;strong&gt;Freedom&lt;/strong&gt; plans bundle all the available services from the telecom juggernaut. Verizon's partnership with DirecTV is also included in the deal so it's possible to combine landline, internet, wireless and TV all on one bill. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;There are three new plans: Double Freedom, Triple Freedom and Unlimited Freedom. They feature two, three and four of the services respectively. Prices range from $64.99 to $144.99 monthly. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;While Verizon and &lt;span class="caps"&gt;AT&amp;amp;T &lt;/span&gt;continue to duke it out, Sprint and T-Mobile are left out. Sprint &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2006/02/13/embarq"&gt;spun-off&lt;/a&gt; its wireline business last year and T-Mobile never had a play in that market. Some cable companies have tried to offer bundles featuring internet, &lt;span class="caps"&gt;TV,&lt;/span&gt; VoIP phone service and wireless service (through a &lt;span class="caps"&gt;MVNO&lt;/span&gt;). &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/29/cingular-fraud"&gt;Cingular accidently bills senior $31,000&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Jan 29 - 04:04 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_cingular.php"&gt;Cingular&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_in_the_news.php"&gt;In The News&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Cingular has been&lt;a href="http://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070127/NEWS/701270365"&gt; catching some bad press&lt;/a&gt; after it came out the company billed a senior citizen $31,000 for international calls that would have been impossible to make. Oliver DeSofi was shocked to see his monthly bill (normally $150) listed at $21,420. After calling to clarify, Mr. DeSofi was notified that more calls had been made and his outstanding balance now stood at over $31,000. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;The bill detailed 4,500 calls made from Nicaragua, a rate of about 165 per day. DeSofi says he has never been to Nicaragua and hasn't even been out of the country for three years. Cingular's internal fraud investigation department took a look at the case and initially decided there was no fraud and the bill was legitimate. Many of the numbers called from Central America no longer exist and some were invalid entries such as 000-000-0000. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;After being contacted by the &lt;em&gt;Herald-Tribune&lt;/em&gt; Cingular gave DeSofi the "benefit of the doubt" and cleared his bill. DeSofi is relieved but is also planning on porting his number to another carrier. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/29/motorola-ti"&gt;Motorola hooks up with TI for 3G / 4G phones&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Jan 29 - 03:56 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_motorola.php"&gt;Motorola&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Motorola has &lt;a href="http://www.motorola.com/mediacenter/news/detail.jsp?globalObjectId=8423_8354_23"&gt;signed an agreement&lt;/a&gt; with Texas Instruments for chips to power future mobile phones. Previously Motorola has relied on silicon from Freescale, a company that Motorola spun off in 2003. Motorola has been slow to get advanced 3G phones to the market and has made that task a major goal for 2007. However this agreement won't help out for this year's financials--Motorola handsets based on the new Texas Instruments chips will begin shipping in 2008. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;TI'&lt;/span&gt;s chips will help provide both 3G and WiMAX (802.16e) data connectivity. Motorola is one of the early adopters of WiMAX and expects to begin shipping a new line of 802.16e mobile devices next year. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/29/verizon-wireless-q4-2006"&gt;Verizon Wireless reports strong Q4 2006&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Jan 29 - 03:45 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_verizon_wireless.php"&gt;Verizon Wireless&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Verizon Wireless has &lt;a href="http://news.vzw.com/news/2007/01/pr2007-01-29.html"&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt; its fourth quarter 2006 earnings statement. The results are strong and while Verizon remains the second largest carrier in terms of subscribers, the company posted leading revenue during the fourth quarter. Interesting metrics from the release include:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;2.3 million net new customers for a total of 59.1m&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Monthly data revenue per user hit $7.91&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Record revenue of $10.1 billion, up 16.3% versus a year ago&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Record messaging usage: 17.7 billion text messages and 353 million picture messages&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;COO&lt;/span&gt; Denny Strigl &lt;a href="http://www.thestreet.com/_yahoo/newsanalysis/techtelecom/10335445.html?cm_ven=YAHOO&amp;cm_cat=FREE&amp;amp;cm_ite=NA"&gt;didn't seem worried&lt;/a&gt; about the new &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/09/apple-iphone"&gt;Apple iPhone&lt;/a&gt; (a Cingular/ATT exclusive) on a conference call today with analysts:&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Quite frankly, we're happy we're not the first to market with the iPhone," Verizon &lt;span class="caps"&gt;COO&lt;/span&gt; Denny Strigl said on a conference call with analysts Monday. He cited terms that would have had Verizon sharing a cut of the monthly subscriber fees and letting Apple handle customer disputes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/28/t-mobile-25-million-subscribers"&gt;T-Mobile USA surpasses 25 million subscribers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Jan 28 - 08:04 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_tmobile.php"&gt;T-Mobile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;T-Mobile &lt;span class="caps"&gt;USA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has &lt;a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/070128/20070128005036.html?.v=1"&gt;announced&lt;/a&gt; hitting the 25 million subscriber milestone. The carrier is still the smallest of the four nationals by a long shot, but is adding customers at a fast clip. Cingular, the nation's largest carrier, recently announced surpassing 60 million subscribers. &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;T-Mobile made the customer announcement along with its Q4 2006 earnings statement. Several interesting metrics were included:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;900k net new customers in Q4; nearly 800k of those were post paid&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1.6 million "converged device" users (BlackBerry and Sidekick)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Churn remained the same versus the year ago period&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;      &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="newsItem"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/2007/01/24/motorola-sneak-peak"&gt;Upcoming Motorola phones revealed by executive&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;h5&gt;Jan 24 - 08:14 PM ET | &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3g.php"&gt;3G&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_3gsm.php"&gt;3GSM&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_motorola.php"&gt;Motorola&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.mobiletracker.net/archives/cat_rumor.php"&gt;Rumor&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="motorola-krzr-k3-sneak.jpg" src="http://www.mobiletracker.net/images/motorola-krzr-k3-sneak.jpg" align="right" height="250" width="75" /&gt;Motorola's Ron Garriques, president of mobile devices, recently gave anxious investors a sneak peek at the company's upcoming handsets. The presentation has been &lt;a href="http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/irol/90/90829/presentations/2007outlook/Garriques.pdf"&gt;posted online&lt;/a&gt; [PDF]. Look for these announcements soon.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;As expected, many of Motorola's upcoming announcements will be 3G handsets. The phones revealed in Garriques' presentation are 3G versions of previously announced handsets:&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;KRZR&lt;/span&gt; K3&lt;/strong&gt; - Existing &lt;span class="caps"&gt;KRZR &lt;/span&gt;with 3G and second camera for video calling&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;RIZR&lt;/span&gt; Z8&lt;/strong&gt; - Tweaked design of the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;RIZR &lt;/span&gt;with &lt;span class="caps"&gt;UMTS &lt;/span&gt;or &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HSDPA &lt;/span&gt;(not noted)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Q &lt;span class="caps"&gt;EDGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - &lt;span class="caps"&gt;GSM &lt;/span&gt;version of the original Q&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Q&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - Updated Q in both &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HSDPA &lt;/span&gt;and EV-DO versions, expected at 3GSM&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Garriques also mentioned the upcoming &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SCPL &lt;/span&gt;(Scalpel) line of handsets. The presentation notes that these devices will be broadband capable, but does not hint at a launch date. Motorola has been talking about &lt;span class="caps"&gt;SCPL &lt;/span&gt;for over a year and it was originally believed to be the successor to the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;RAZR &lt;/span&gt;(which the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;KRZR &lt;/span&gt;ended up doing instead). &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;[via &lt;a href="http://www.phonescoop.com/news/item.php?n=2037"&gt;PhoneScoop&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4402005243473145396-1876931721885314476?l=tophandphone.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tophandphone.blogspot.com/feeds/1876931721885314476/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4402005243473145396&amp;postID=1876931721885314476' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4402005243473145396/posts/default/1876931721885314476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4402005243473145396/posts/default/1876931721885314476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tophandphone.blogspot.com/2007/03/cell-phone-news.html' title='Cell Phone News'/><author><name>oktava</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05806513760433276069</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
