The Motorola i776 that was leaked earlier this year during August, has been “hit” by a refreshing move that makes its design better than before. The features are still the same, which are not top-notch, but taking in consideration the success of the cellphone at Sprint this can be considered a wise move.

With that being said, the Motorola i776 is now available in purple, on top of the other color which was available from the start - burgundy. In terms of features, the i776 comes with bluetooth, a VGA camera, and GPS - you can get all this for $80 with a contract, in purple or burgundy.

Palm may have the Pre and webOS behind them, but those assets alone evidentally haven’t been enough to bring the company back to greatness. Today, the Q1 2010 results were made known which state that Palm has sold 823,000 handsets (mostly the Pre) so far which may sound like a lot but the next bit of information isn’t all peaches.

It seems that Palm has posted a net loss of a staggering $164.5 million and, when compared to the $41.9 million Q1 2009 net loss, may show where the company is headed. Let’s hope the forthcoming Palm Pixi will spur sales or else Palm may be facing a grim future.

The opportunity to save on buying a new mobile device such as a Blackberry may be somewhat stalled at times. And one main reason seen for this is the price for getting a new one. But if the tweets made by T-Mobile is accurate enough, you may just get a big break. Apparently there are reports that T-Mobile will be giving consumers up to a $50 off if they trade-in their old “working” phones and get a brand new Blackberry Curve.

There seems to be some confusion on what actual phones are included in this promotion. In fact, it seems that the promotion only offers a Blackberry Curve 8520. That was until T-Mobile posted a lot of current curve models tied up with it. But one thing is for sure, you will get a $50 off. So if you are aching to get a new Blackberry, here is your chance so I suggest you grab it!

After all the controversy surrounding the coming of the iPhone to China, we all know for a fact that China Unicom has gained the exclusive rights to distribute the popular Apple handset. However just like in most countries, there are more than one telecom companies who are doing business. For China, China Mobile is hoping to get some share of the pie as it is in talks with Apple to sell iPhones in China also.

Though nothing has come out of these talks, it is believed that China Mobile may likewise get the blessings of Apple and distribute the iPhone to the Chinese market. China holds one of the largest potential mobile markets in the world and surely China Unicom cannot solely handle all of these by its lonesome.

China Mobile, if successful in its talks with Apple, could be the largest carrier of iPhones in China.

So much for games and utilities, iPhones can be great aids as well when it comes to monitoring and systemizing your finances. Businessmen or employees who are required to submit expense reports normally have to fix up their receipts and make sure that they are itemized and ready for reimbursement. The Mobile Receipt app from Mitek Systems does just that and is perhaps one reason why it jumped all the way to number one at the App Store.

And while many deny it, one common practice is forging some receipts to so that they can reimburse a higher amount that what they had actually spent. Some get away with it while others get caught. Between the two, you would not want to be caught cheating your way for some extra cash.

But for the people who want an easy way to create and expense report, the Mobile Receipt app is the app for you. No wonder it made its way to the top! The app is available at the App Store for $4.99. You can view a video demo here. http://www.miteksystems.com/OOMPH_webisodes.asp

Samsung has been gaining ground in the recent weeks with its varied mobile handsets and it is only fitting to know that they will be topping all of these releases with their very own App Store. Samsung will be opening its own on-device application store for all its Samsung smartphones this coming September 14 in the United Kingdom, France and Italy. After this, over 30 other countries will also be having their own Samsung App Store. However, only the Omnia II and OmniaLITE handsets can access the app portal for the time being.

And similar to most online application sites, the Samsung App Store will also be offering various handset applications ranging from games, references, social networking and other solutions. Omnia users who want to access the site need to download a mobile client at samsungapps.com while the I8910 HD just have to update their software.

Based on the trends regarding the current working relationship between AT & T and Apple, the iPhone may yet find itself under a new distributor by 2011. This was the prediction shared by Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray regarding the exclusivity of distribution by AT & T for now. Much of this is attributed to the shortcomings shown by AT & T, particularly the current status of video availability on the iTunes store.

And the apparent successor for AT & T points towards the direction of Verizon. Verizon seems to be the logical choice considering other companies like Sprint and T-Mobile have the Palm and the Android to address at the moment respectively. Will Verizon be the next exclusive distributor of Apple’s iPhone? We have 4 months to find out.

After a bumpy issue, Apple and China Unicom have finally come to terms on the official distribution of iPhones in China later this year. There were rumors that the iPhone would not be launched at all but apparently all the kinks were ironed out after both parties agreed to a multi-year deal to have the popular Apple handset distributed by the fourth quarter.

The iPhone has been capable of MMS messages ever since iPhone OS 3.0 was released however, American consumers on AT&T have not be able to utilize the feature.

One such consumer from Ohio, Deborah Carr, has decided to take Apple to court over the matter. Her case states that Apple had previously said “MMS support form AT&T will be available in late summer” despite the summer being nearly over, this means Apple has until September 22nd to introduce MMS. Below is a excerpt from Carr’s filing:

“Millions of customers, as a result of the false and deceptive representations and concealments of Apple and AT&T purchased the 3G and 3GS, waiting for the wonderful day in June 2009 when the new application would be available which would allow MMS.”

So, loyal readers, do you think Carr has a chance at taking a bite out of the Apple?
