Motorola “Morrison” coming to T-Mobile in late 09′?

Looks like this is the Android phone that Motorola has been talking about. Not a huge suprise that it will be dropping on T-Mobile.

Not a lot of info on this device other than a late 09′ launch.

T-Mobile seems to be dominating the Android phones lately. Always nice to have some options other than the G1 though!

ebay 9630 31 BlackBerry Tour 9630 Launch Date: 7/13

I don’t think I’m alone in saying this: We’ve been waiting forever for this phone to drop.

Kevin Bryne over at Howard Forums has put the Tour launch date at July 13th. This release date is matching with what a lot of other people are saying so we’re at least going to say somewhere around there.

Unfortunate that this device has taken so long to drop. Better late than never though!

Confirmed: 8520 Dropping on T-Mobile in Q4

8520pic 300x200 Confirmed: 8520 Dropping on T Mobile in Q4

BGR broke news today that they’ve confirmed the 8520 will be landing on T-Mobile in Q4.

It seems the 8520 will be marketed as a entry level BlackBerry.

The 8520 is unique in the fact that it has an optical trackpad as opposed to the usual trackball on BlackBerrys.

And hey look at the pic! It’s running Tweet Genius! Don’t forget we’re giving away 2 copies here!

BREAKING: First Live Shots of the BlackBerry 8520

8520 300x225 BREAKING: First Live Shots of the BlackBerry 8520

BGR brought us the first shots of what was a prototype model of the 8520 but it looks like CrackBerry just got a live production model up on it’s site.

Based on what CrackBerry is reporting, this BB is packing dedicated music buttons, a optical trackball, rubberized housing, and a clean all blacked out color scheme. Also note the screen protector seems to go over the call and send buttons as well.

No 3G on this sucker, but looks like it will have Wi-Fi and Curve branding.

An an 8900 owner myself, I have to admit I’m slightly jealous.

Rumor: iPhone and Verizon?

mapvzw 300x203 Rumor: iPhone and Verizon?

File this under “rumor to the max” but word on the streets is Verizon might be dropping some Apple related devices on it’s network in the near future.

Business Week is reporting that Apple has already created prototype devices for Verizon and it’s currently being tested.

One of the devices was described as an “iPhone” lite and the other is described as some sort of media devices capable of making calls over Wi-Fi.

Not a lot of info on this “iPhone lite” but I’m thinking that the second device could be Verizon’s next hub product. Either that or the other rumor of some sort of MacBook Mini.

Guess we’ll see! Would love to see some Apple products running on Verizon’s awesome network.
