Samsung Booth Tour from CTIA Las Vegas 2008

Wed, 09 Apr 2008 02:07:03 +0000

CTIA 2008 in beautiful Las Vegas, NV is long over. But, that doesn't mean we can't relive the excitement of the showroom floor. Admitedly, the CTIA show was a bit slow in comparison to CES and Mobile World Congress, but that was almost expected. There CTIA only filled up half of the Las Vegas convention center [...]

Samsung Instinct scores "Best In Show" from CTIA Las Vegas 2008

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 20:11:50 +0000

When it comes to innovation, functionality, wow factor, and technology, the Samsung Instinct takes top honors at CTIA Las Vegas 2008. Of all the handsets on display at the mobile industry tradeshow, a panel of 31 judges has proclaimed that the Sprint-bound Samsung Instinct is the most innovative and "coolest" device at the show. I've mentioned [...]

Mitac Mio DigiWalker Lovebird does Windows Mobile 6.1 and GPS on the slim - specs and launch date

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 19:37:46 +0000

We don't know Mitac for their impressive industrial design, but that looks about to change. The Mitac Mio DigiWalker Lovebird handset made an appearance at the Microsoft booth at CTIA and the keen eyes over at msmobiles caught it on film. Mitac set out to make a sleek and slim Windows Mobile smartphone, and it they've [...]

Hands-on with Nokia 1606 and 3606 from Nokia Booth CTIA Las Vegas 2008

Mon, 07 Apr 2008 20:12:16 +0000

Nokia's booth at CTIA Las Vegas 2008 was impressive. Alongside giants like LG, Samsung, and Motorola (even though they didn't really display anything), Nokia stood proudly with its multi-colored, techno-music-playing, high-end handset displays. The Nokia N810 WiMAX-enabled tablet was on hand to show off just what WiMAX could do for the Internet Tablet from Espoo. It's [...]

LG Booth tour from CTIA Las Vegas 2008 - LG enV2 VX9100 makes an appearance

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 23:36:01 +0000

LG has one of the largest and most elaborate booths here at CTIA Las Vegas 2008. The booth is as tall as it is sprawling and there's a live DJ spinning house music in front of a statue of a naked angel. LG didn't have much to show in terms of new hardware (a woefully [...]

HTC shows off HTC Touch Dual at CTIA Las Vegas 2008

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 22:52:57 +0000

There isn't much at the HTC Booth here in Las Vegas. In fact, there isn't even much of an HTC booth to speak of. Our favorite Windows Mobile smartphone manufacturer has gone the decidedly conservative route at CTIA Las Vegas 2008 and set up shop on a small piece of Las Vegas Convention Center floorspace. HTC [...]

Samsung F110 Adidas Fitness phone live at CTIA Las Vegas 2008

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 07:22:55 +0000

The Samsung-Adidas duo have their sights squarely placed on the Nike-Apple parntership, and it looks like Samsung's got a winner here. We got a hold of the Samsung F110 Adidas Fitness phone at CTIA Las Vegas 2008 came away with a few pictures. The Samsung F110 is put together quite nicely. It feels good in the [...]

Alcatel shows off Playboy phone at CTIA Las Vegas 2008

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 07:00:44 +0000

CTIA Las Vegas 2008 is slow, at least from a hardware/handset perspective. There haven't been many new announcements and even less new hardware on display. Still, some of CTIA's exhibitors really know how to entertain. Take Alcatel, for example. The Alcatel booth wasn't the biggest or glitziest booth on the show floor. Not by a long [...]

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 06:33:37 +0000

You're either going to love it or hate it. The Jabra BT3030 dog-tag style Bluetooth necklace isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. But, if you like the dog-tag look and need an A2DP Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone, you'll want to check out the Jabra BT3030 Bluetooth headsets. Jabra was showing these unique Bluetooth headsets at [...]

Motorola Z9 pricing on AT&T

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 23:07:53 +0000

Color us surprised, but AT&T is apparently set to charge $249.99 for a Motorola Z9 - on 2-year contract, of course. We say the asking price is a bit much, but AT&T seems to feel that the pricing is right on point. The media-oriented slider from Motorola should be making an appearance at CTIA, which also [...]

Motorola ad campaign for Motorola Z9

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 18:53:58 +0000

It's been about a year since we had leaked information about the Motorola Z9, and in the mobile industry, that's a lifetime. Still, Motorola has invested too much time and money into their Z9 to let it fall by the wayside. Following the recent FCC approval of the Motorola Z9, and Moto's intention to bring [...]

FCC and wireless carriers butt heads over backup power for cell towers

Mon, 10 Mar 2008 22:10:06 +0000

In an age where almost every aspect of our lives is dependent on the constant flow of electrons through our digital gear, a reliable source of electricity is a must. Especially when we're talking about the electricity that powers the cell towers throughout the nation. As we saw with the Hurricane Katrina disaster, cellular communications failures [...]
