The folks of Philippine affiliate Technograph recently got their hands on an Alcatel OT-V770. The phone is part of Alcatel’s apparent strategy to concentrate on the low-end market through a mix of low prices and versatile features.
Future owners will be able to use this phone’s color display, 1.3 megapixel, Bluetooth, music player, and a microSD […]

By now you’ve probably heard about the Nokia 6205, The Dark Knight Edition (pictured above). The phone made the blog rounds, gaining some cliched features such as “perfect for Bruce Wayne wannabes”.
In any case though, it’s probably good that the cell phone maker kept quiet about another Nokia phone that actually enjoyed some significant screen […]

The Nokia 8-series has always been about design over functionality (at least for experimentation purposes)—and Swiss company Knalihs Athem wants to make that even more true. They are promising to come out with a limited run of only 20 Diamond-Encrusted Nokia 8800s, placing over a thousand diamonds (we’re told the total weight is 6.75 carats) […]

What’s Hot
Good looks
Compact size goes well with sleek suits and petite handbags
Deep feature set
The display really is scratch-proof
HSDPA-capable

So, we finally secured a unit of that FM-transmitting Nokia N78 for review:
Realizing that you can send a song from your laptop to the N78 while driving on the highway = 2 minutes of considering the safety factors
Pulling out your laptop with one hand and turning it on = a minute of dangerous driving
Choosing songs […]

Well, not really “booth babes”. These lovely ladies were present during the launch of the LG Secret in the Philippines. They went around, showing off the phone to the attendees, and were kind enough to pose for our Philippine affiliate Technograph. Click on the thumbnails to see full-size versions!

As we’ve learned more about the Nokia N78, we’ve dreamt even more about it. Think of this phone as an improved N82, with the same:
quadband GSM- and HSDPA-capability
built-in camera with flash
standard 3.5mm audio jack
WiFi and Bluetooth
TV-out, and FM radio
The N78 is also the first phone we’ve heard about that can actually transmit FM signals, meaning […]

Forbes reports that some developers, or at least the company Networks in Motion, are “wary” of developing applications for the iPhone.
The three reasons cited were:
The apparent ability to pay for an app on the iTunes store only once, and use it on more than one iPhone
The current inability for developers to charge a regular fee […]

New laws governing mobile use while driving in California go into effect tomorrow. It’s been a windfall of sorts for local retailers:
While they won’t quote their sales figures directly, retailers such as RadioShack, Plantronics, and Headsets.com say they’ve seen a jump in sales of Bluetooth and other hands-free devices in the past month. The law […]
