Next Tuesday Sony Ericsson is going to launch its first Android device, the Xperia X3 aka Rachael. Although most people are busy pre-ordering the Droid from Verizon, they should really stop and see what this Rachael phone is all about. The teaser above has been officially leaked and the handset looks pretty interesting. Sure 20 seconds of video featuring a turned-off device isn’t enough for us, is it? But at least we know the Rachael looks better than expected. All we need now are some decent specs and a matching personality and we might just have a Droid competitor on our hands!

The Motorola Droid is the next number one Android phone which is already very well known to consumers. And the fact that the Motorola Droid is coming in the very near future is again, very well known. But Motorola still seems confused about actual arrival dates.

How else could one explain the mysterious appearance of the Droid on Motorola’s website? Everything looks official enough but it’s way too early. Shouldn’t we at least wait for Verizon to make the phone official? It appears not and we can only assume that both Verizon Wireless and Motorola officials will be really annoyed to see the screenshots all over the Internet.

So what do you say, Verizon, aren’t you going to launch the device already? Everyone knows it’s coming! And while you’re at it you could also consider unveiling the Storm 2!

If you didn’t know, Microsoft is planning to launch an update for Windows Mobile 6.5 that will update the operating system to 6.5.1. Why exactly they didn’t include this major overhaul in the 6.5 release is beyond me but what we have for you above is some eyecandy showing off the new mobile OS’ features.

As you can see, Windows Mobile 6.5.1 will clearly make it easier for the average user to operate the software using nothing more than their fingers with previous versions of Windows Mobile catering more towards a stylus.

When will 6.5.1 be out? We’ll have to wait until Microsoft says anything more to make any guesses.

We’ve seen a lot of mobile phones get leaked today and we have one more for you. In all honesty this one is an Internet tablet and it’s apparently going to be made by Nokia. The N920 in the picture here hasn’t been officially confirmed yet but we hear it’s going to be available at some point next year The N920 will come with features like a 4.13-inch capacitive touchscreen and Maemo 6. Unlike the N900 this one comes without a keyboard or keypad and it’s a lot bigger.

To be fair we also have to assume that we’re looking at a photoshopped picture and, although Nokia will probably launch a N900 successor in the future, it might not look at all like the one we’ve seen today.

Windows 7 is still about 2 weeks away from hitting store shelves but that hasn’t stopped an unnamed university bookstore from selling it early.

Above is a picture sent to Engadget by a lucky student who was able to pick up Microsoft’s latest operating system ahead of release.

As for the rest of us, we’ll still be stuck waiting until October 22nd.

The screenshot here comes to prove that HTC’s latest Windows Mobile 6.5 phone is headed to O2 as previously discussed. The phone has already appeared in O2’s UK catalog which is all the confirmation we need! The HD2 or the LEO is supposed to become available anywhere from October 12 to October 26. If you’re going to go look for the catalog, you might be surprised to see it’s not available yet in O2 stores. It’s almost October so you can check back in a few days and actually see the HTC HD2 on printed paper for yourself. And its funny how the phone’s OS is clearly displayed in this leaked shot. Should we assume there’s no TouchFLO 3D like we heard on top of Redmond’s mobile OS?

For the moment CLIQ is the hot Android phone coming from Motorola via T-Mobile. But fear not Moto fans, CLIQ has a worthy follower or so we suspect. The Tao or Sholes or however they decide to call it at launch, has been spotted in the wild running Android. What other OS would it run? As you can see the phone was running Google Maps at the time the picture was taken and you can also see it’s going to offer us a pretty impressive 1390mAh battery. We have no more details at this point in time but in Verizon we trust to launch the phone already!

It seems that the phone we saw pictured yesterday entitled the Motorola Barrage has been made official today for Verizon by way of a leaked spec sheet, pictured above.

As you can see, this sheet gives not only the handset’s specs (which we already knew about) but also the pricing and release date for the phone. According to said sheet, the Motorola Barrage will be made available in Verizon retail stores on November 16th, 2009 for $179.99 on a 2-year contract.

You amy be asking yourself how could anyone charge such a price for a flip phone and the answer is becasue of the materials that were used to make its ultra “rugged durable design”.

Is it just me or has Microsoft started to look better and better all of a sudden? Let’s forget for a second about the countless times we hated and cursed various Windows versions and think about some products made by Redmond that we really like. Obviously there’s the Xbox 360 and its upcoming upgrade called Project Natal, there’s the Zune HD and the recently unveiled Courier tablet concept and the list will not stop there. Apparently the Project Pink we’ve talked about yesterday is being developed at full throttle. This Microsoft initiative that will bring the first Microsoft phones to the public has produced two phones so far, which could become quite popular in various markets.

Even the most faithful Apple fan should be interested in these renderings of the Microsoft Courier Tablet concept. The tablet has been leaked and it looks just great. At this point we’re curious to see what tablet is Apple going to launch but if what we see in these pictures here will come true then Cupertino should expect a fierce fight from Microsoft in this new tablet market.

Getting back to the Curier we can’t but notice the generous display made by two 7-inch hinged multitouch display. You can interact with the screens by using your fingers or a stylus and you can use both screens at once as the user interface permits various movements and actions from screen to screen. We don’t have all the specs but so far we know the Courier comes with a home button on the hinge, status LEDs on one side and an impressive 3 megapixel camera with flash and 4x digital zoom. Can Apple top all of that?

We already have a pretty good idea about how much the new Motorola phone will cost. T-Mobile’s pricing has been revealed ahead of time on the carrier’s official website and it has been noticed well before the company fixed the unexpected leak. The phone isn’t available on Tmo’s site now but we have a new leak. Thanks to an internal PowerPoint presentation, now we do know that the Cliq is coming in October. So if you’re interested in some MOTOBLUR action then make sure you have enough cash by next month to get your first Motorola phone.

With all the excitement around Motorola’s official start in the Android smartphone business we can’t overlook an upcoming Nokia phone. The 2200 has been leaked already and we know it’s going to be an entry-level handset which will bring you simple features like GSM and EDGE connectivity, VGA camera, FM radio, 3.5mm jack and Symbian S40 in the background. The phone will be available in 6 different colors and will cost around $125 but you’ll probably be able to get it for free with new contracts. We have no idea when it’s going to be available but we’ll tell you more once Nokia decides to officially unveil it.

We’ve seen the BlackBerry Bold 9700 press shot photo way ahead of its official launch so maybe these are the real pictures of the upcoming iPod touch 5G and the iPod nano 3G. Or maybe they are simply photoshopped images meant to grab some attention. We noticed the camera of the touch and bigger screen of the nano but we still require official confirmation. With only a few hours to go we can definitely tell you we’ll keep a keen eye on Apple’s keynote and bring all the hot details to you.

We only just reported that Verizon is gearing up to launch the Storm 2, Sholes and vx8575 next month and already reports of another handset for the carrier have surfaced. This time, it’s the Android powered HTC Desire which we’ve heard absolutely nothing about until now.

News of the HTC Desire comes to us from a leaked screen shot of Verizon’s handset where it shows the handset’s model number to be 6200 along with the word GOOGL. This most likely means the device will have a with Google branding on the back resulting in no Sense UI.

We’ll keep you updated as more news regarding the HTC Desire 6200 is made known.

Those on Verizon anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Palm Pre may not have much longer to wait. What you see above is a leaked screenshot taken of Verizon’s inventory database. As you can see, the item description displays PALM P101 SMTPHNE, could this possibly be the Palm Pre? It would make sense considering Sprint’s Palm Pre codename is the P100.

Additionally, screenshots were also found display phones such as the PALM 121 (Eos?), BlackBerry Storm 2, HTC TouchPro2 and Samsung Omnia II.
