Ok. let's not get crazy here people! Let's not get excited about an AT&T announcement or rumor only to find out later it was just a human error.
AT&T has 3G in the labs working at a speed of 7.2 megabits per second which is about double the theoretical achievable speed on current networks. By 2009 they want to deliver an amazing 20 megabits per second. That would be really cool and really fast. But is it doable?
Whenever a new smartphone gets released we would all like to get as many details as possible about what it does and when it will be available. We also would like to see as many pictures as possible. We'd like to have our own hands on those models but in the mean time we can offer you other people's experience.
We talked about the HTC since it got officially launched in London last week. Check out these new pictures of an HTC Touch Diamond at work just bellow. They look great right? What do you think? Still unsure between this HTC or the 3G iPhone?
J.D Power and Associates have just awarded another first prize to T-Mobile after a survey of wireless retail sales satisfaction. T-Mobile have surpassed Allttell, Verizon Wireless, AT&T and Sprint Nextel. Their score was based on four categories: sales staff, store display, store facility and price/promotion. Although "just" forth carrier ranked by number of total subscribers, T-Mobile is used to winning awards from J.D Power. Their current record in customer service satisfaction is 7 wins in a row, with the last one earlier this year.
T-Mobile has just a little over 30 million subscribers. They have just launched their 3G plans in New York a few days ago, and rumors say they are going to make a bid for Sprint Nextel in the future. Not to mention their wide cell phone selection or plans. No wonder people are saying they are the coolest.

Dell is one of the largest mid-range laptop sellers. They offer cheap, affordable solutions to everyone looking for a laptop. Their systems are competitive and dependable but if you want more out of your notebook then I am sure you have already thought about buying an Apple right?
But Dell is on the lookout and they must know what people are waiting for. So looking at the leaked picture above I can't help but thinking, are they just trying to impress or is this real? The new Dell Inspirons called 1435,1535 and 1735 are going to hit the stores May 26 (1535 ) and June 9th (1735) and October (1435). They are supposed to be thinner then usual Inspirons and therefore not so heavy. And thrust me, they were heavy! Are they going for the slick Macbook Pro look? Are they going to bring up performance as well?
Besides the 1-1.5 inch "upgrade", Dell is going to throw in slot-loading (Blu-ray) drives, 3G options and processors running up to Core 2 Duo T5850 2.16GHz. Dell suddenly appears more attractive to me. Unfortunatelly they still run Windows Vista XP.

T-Mobile USA is the company launching their new 3G wireless network in New York. That you already know right? We told you it was bound to happen and I am sure other have as well. We all have also told you that at first, 3G under T-Mobile was supposed to come without data transfer as this feature was to be added afterwards.
But guess what, and I am glad to announce this, T-Mobile has fully launched 3G today in full. Better phone calls and more importantly for some users, better data transfer speed for all subscribers in the New York City area. For now that is, as 3G will be implemented in other important metropolitan areas with lots of T-Mobile customers waiting for it.
T-Mobile also offer a variety of phones that will operate within the UMTS network. They will connect to the best available network whether it's 3G or GMS/GPRS/EDGE for best quality. In the months to come, HSDPA phones are to be released under T-Mobile's name to further enrich the 3G experience they want to offer to all customers.
New York has gone 3G and we're going to let you know when other major cities will join T-Mobile's revolution.
Samsung has just released its new SGH-L288 phone. This phone features a 2.6-inch LCD display, a 2-megapixel camera, a 0.3-megapixel front camera for video call, Bluetooth and USB2.0 connectivity. This phone is going to be the first phone to support both China's 3G standard TD-SCDMA and GSM networks. So to our readers residing in Asia, specifically China, this is probably a great news to you.
At the top you can see the phone's picture. Personally, its not very attractive. Its very boxy and has a lot of edges. But, with the promised features, I'm sure users won't mind.

Tuesday, May 6th, HTC invited London at 11:30AM (if you are in the neighborhood) to "witness the next wave of HTC Innovation". I wonder what they are preparing to release as in the mean time we have found this leaked photos and following specs which might match an all new Touch Diamond smart phone:
So is this the all new 3G Touch Diamond? We'll keep you posted this Tuesday! Stay tunned!
Flickr, one of the largest online pictures gallery, happens to rate the number of pictures uploaded by any device such as a camera phone like the iPhone is.
According to the graph above, the iPhone with its 2 megapixel camera, has just surpassed the Nokia N95 (a 5 megapixel camera) and the Nokia N73. If we watch the constant raising curve it's clear that more people have started uploading pictures to Flickr using an iPhone since it has been released. Keep in mind that every day more and more people join Flickr, so this graph is an estimate and whenever it drops down that might also symbolize a sudden burst of new accounts being open.
However as more people are joining, the graphic shows that more people are choosing the iPhone for taking more pictures which will eventually end up on Flickr for better sharing. Could this also mean that iPhone owners are joining Flickr just because they are taking so many pictures with their iPhone and they need a social sharing site?
With all this interpretation possibilities I have to remind you that getting the details about the camera phone is only available for 2/3 of all the uploads so that means the graphic isn't 100% accurate.
I imagine that even more people will upload pictures with the iPhone when the second generation 3G cameras (notice how I don't refer to them as phones) will arrive in June!
As you can see from the screen shot, T-Mobile are preparing to launch 3G plans in New York City Tomorrow, May 1st. This is a semi-confirmed rumor by this apparent T-Mobile internal document. With 3G being hot news right now, it's no surprise carriers will try to implement it as a viable plan to more and more of their subscribers.
3G will of course increase both calls quality and data transfer as well. For now T-Mobile refers only to getting a "great call quality" but I am guessing they also mean data transfer as well. 3G Plans are to be launched in New York first but 20 more cities will follow by the end of 2008.
I wonder how T-Mobile will sell their 3G iPhones compared to AT&T?

Well it couldn't be more clear than that. The second generation iPhone is coming for sure in June. Foxconn are assembling according to the Chinese Commercial Times. They are expected to produce 3 million 3G iPhones in June only and it's estimated they will manufacture 24 million by the end of this generation's life cycle.
Despite all that, there's no official announcement. Everyone is waiting for Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference 2008 (WWDC 2008) in June and everyone is counting on this 3G iPhone to be finally produced. For now Foxconn are the only manufacturers of the first generation iPhone.

I am not a huge fan of slider phones, but I have to admit I took more than 5 minutes to check the new 3G Motorola Z8m out. This slider is a little bit special than its competition in terms of design. It's meant to adjust to the shape of your face. I don't know if this feature will really influence the quality of our phone calls but it certainly is really innovative at least. The Z8m is the third Z8 version and will be launched in Korea. The starting price is somewhere around $500.
This is what the new edition of Motorola Z8 has to offer: the upgraded HSDPA - from 3.2 to 7.2Mbps, the regular QVGA 2.2 inch display and the 2 megapixel camera. There's of course the one touch MP3 player, the Bluetooth and USB 2.0 for data transfers and integrated and very useful GPS systems. As for space you have an 80MB internal memory available to start from and as you go along getting more pictures and music, the micro SD option that lets you store up to 4GB of data.
What could you possible want more from Motorola? A drop in price maybe.
June 2008 will bring up the new generation iPhones. 3G and better GPS are two of the most asked for features.The iPhone itself will be basically of the same size and shape but slightly thicker. The battery won't be removable just yet and it will possibly be a future third generation iPhone feature.
What I am not still yet able to figure out is the new design/color of the new iPhone. It has been said that the metallic back will be replaced with a glossy black one, but is this true or just a picked up rumor? Black could be an interesting third-party option only after all. Nonethelesss I'd be interested in how an eventual all black case will deal with any damages, scratches and so on. I'd choose the original Apple metal case.

If analyst reports are to be believed, the 3G iPhone will be announced on June 9, the anticipated date of the Apple WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference). Apart from the much-awaited 3G version of the phone, analysts predict a slew of updates to the Mac and iPod line-ups.
It appears that Apple iPhone inventories are not keepking up with demand which is still strong - and the company could easily reach the 10 million mark. I'll be honest for a bit here: I am not a huge fan of the iPhone, and I believe 10 million is a pretty low number. Reason? The excessive price. Well, that might soon change, with analysts expecting the price to drop to US $299 or $349 (it is currently priced at $399).
Check out the new SoftBank 813SH 3G phone by Sharp. This phone does not sport a camera - and is primarily intended for use in locations where cameraphones are banned due to security restrictions. You don't want anyone with a camera snooping around in your Government's secret service agency, would you?
The SoftBank 813SH features dual display, and the outer display can display up to 3 lines of new incoming email - quite a nice feature. The 3G phone also features a full fledged browser and can open PDF files. Other goodies include a QVGA LCD display, support for microSD memory card, address book backup facility and bi-lingual in Japanese and English.
The phone is available in Matte Black and Pearl White, weighing in at 104 grams.
Nokia is getting its hands dirty in the music business. If yesterday's announcement of the Nokia Music Store in Australia was not enough, the Finnish giant today unveiled the new Nokia 5320 XpressMusic mobile phone, with 3G capabilities and social entertainment - apart from the usual suspects like web 2.0 support. The phone has a new voice-controlled Say and Play feature where you can simply say the name of an artist or song to automatically play it.
The XpressMusic 5320 phone offers a 3.5mm audio jack, 8GB memory card support, hi-speed USB and even an audio chip specially for improving audio quality. Nokia claims up to 24 hours of playback time. There are also dedicated keys for N-Gage gaming, as well as landscape view for a wider game experience.
Expect the phone to hit the markets in Q3 2008. Priced at €220 before taxes and subsidies.
