Cisco has recently confirmed a tech rumor that their Flip video cams will have some significant new features.

There isn’t word when the Flip will have them, but it promises a large screen that reveals the record and menu buttons underneath. By the way, there is also plans to have Wi-Fi. Does this mean you can take a picture and upload it to Flickr? I sure hope so.

HTC is certainly keeping itself busy. The company has new smartphones in mind and we can expect them to appear any time in the future. The list includes phones like Leo, Click, Mega and Rome.

The Leo is apparently a flip phone which will offer an internal WVGA screen and an external QVGA screen. Other specs include Open GL2.0 and a Snapdragon processor. Anxious about a new flip phone from HTC?

While the information about the Leo comes from a leaked Manilla 2.5, the other three names are mentioned in an eBay auction which sells a charger compatible with the Click, Mega, Rome and Leo phones. The Click is supposed to be an entry-level Android phone but we have no details regarding the phone. The Rome and Mega are the remaining two HTC phones but we’ll have to wait for someone to leak some specs before we can draw any conclusions.

I’m not sure the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8230 is the best choice for anyone right now especially since the Tour is coming soon. Verizon Wireless is nevertheless selling the phone as of right now and it can be yours for $79 after a $70 mail-in rebate and a new two-year contract. The phone is available both online and in store and if you’re not looking for an iPhone or a Pre right now then a Flip phone from Berry might be the phone for you.

Having been initially announced some time ago the Blackberry Pearl Flip 8220 successful made an appearance on carriers such as T-Mobile and Rogers but other carriers were effectively left in the dark.

Luckily, Verizon Wireless has released a statement saying that the Blackberry Pearl Flip 8230 will be available from them on June 19th for $129.99 after a 2-year contract and $70 rebate. If you aren’t familiar with the Pearl Flip it is essentially a Blackberry Pearl in a flip form factor with RIM marketing the phone to prevent “making calls with your butt”.

Anyways, the 8230 will be running RIM’s 4.6.0 operating system on a 324MHz processor, external and internal displays, 2MP camera complete with flash, GPS, and a SureType keypad. As for me? I’ll settle with a Blackberry Bold.

AT&T is finally going to launch the BlackBerry Curve 8900 which T-Mobile already has in stock. The 8900 will arrive sometime in February although we don’t know exactly when. The Pearl Flip 8210 will also arrive from AT&T and you should expect it sometime in March. There’s no official date for it either and as for pricing, we expect the Curve 8900 to sell for $199 on contract while the Flip will probably cost $99. All we need now is confirmation from AT&T.

We’ve seen our share of iPhone knock offs but this one gets a top 3 entry. It’s a flip iPhone and it was conceived in China. If you were to chose, what would you prefer? The regular candybarish iPhone or the flip iPhone?

As for specs, this knock off will get you a 3 megapixel camera, a 2.6 inch display and a resolution of 240 x 320. It’s pretty small at 105 x 53 x 17mm and in weighs about 110 grams only.

Price and availability date? We don’t have them yet but we don’t encourage you to invest in knock offs either.

It seems as if the much anticipated launch of the Blackberry Pearl Flip is close at hand. Articles, rumors, unboxing videos and photos of the smartphone have started appearing on the Web, including those from the Boy Genius Report and PhoneDog.com, complete with T-Mobile packaging. Of course, the rumor that T-Mobile is going to launch the smartphone has been around for a while, its easy to assume that the launch will be sooner rather than later.

The BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220 was announced at CTIA Fall 2008 and is the first BlackBerry with a clamshell design. T-Mobile will be the first U.S. carrier to offer the model.

Personally I am uncomfortable with the BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220. It’s a great phone but I can’t but feel that RIM shouldn’t have created flip Berries. Berries should be something else. Think Curve, Bold or Storm. The phone is rumored to have a price already from T-Mobile. It will cost $150 with a two-year contract or $200 with a one year contract. Rather steep wouldn’t you say?

We’re waiting for an official T-Mobile announcement to confirm these prices. The phone is expected to arrive this year, so flip phone lovers can already get in line for it.

The Motorola W377 mobile phone gained FCC approval recently. Available in a flip design, the W377 offers USB connectivity (both data sync and charging the phone is possible). There’s also a dedicated web browser key on the keypad. Goodies on the phone include a camera (with timer, even) and Bluetooth support.

There’s also an FM radio receiver on the W377. It supports MMS and SMS messaging. Productivity tools include Calendar, Calculator, Stopwatch and others. Not the brightest bulb in the box, but hey, it was approved, so that should count for something right? Yeah, if you are looking for an entry-level phone.

BenQ unveiled three new cell phones targeted at the China market. The BenQ E72, T55 and T33 are the three amigos, with the E72 available in a candy-bar form factor. The cameras come with a 2 megapixel camera, and support the Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for enjoying stereo music wirelessly. They also come with microSD memory card support.

The T51 is available in a flip design and comes in a highly compact form factor that fits in the palm of your hand. The front of the device, when closed, has music control keys for play/pause, next/previous track and volume controls are available on the side. The T33 on the other hand comes in a slider design. The answer/reject (green/red) buttons on the T33 look a bit weird, like the phone’s eyes or something because of their shape. Photos at a max resolution of 1600×1200 can be taken with these camera phones.

No word on the pricing or availability.
