Welcome the new benchmark record breaker, the T-Mobile G2. You can now overclock its processor from the miserable 800 MHz to the mind-blowing 1420 MHz. All you need to do is spend a few minutes reading the instructions and download a few files.
But the final results is worth everything. Just take a look at the screenshot above – the overclocked T-Mobile G2 (a.k.a. HTC Desire Z) CPU allows the Froyo-serving smartphone to offer you unbeatable performance. Read more »
After months of waiting we can finally welcome the BlackBerry Style 9670 (previously rumored as Bold 9670), RIM’s first flip smartphone equipped with a full QWERTY keyboard. The phone is hitting the Sprint stores across the US on October 31st.
Android 2.2 Froyo comes with arguably the best web browser of all current mobile platforms, but you will hardly be able to tell that if you take a look at the Android Market. There are just so many alternative browsers available that you would think they are the hottest commodity around.
Mind you, I’m not complaining here – competition is a great thing and it’s the users that win the most in the end. That’s why the announcement that Opera is going to release their full-fledged Opera Mobile browser over the coming month is excellent news. Read more »
Vertu going smartphone – are my eyes deceiving me? The Vertu Constellation Quest features not only Symbian OS but a full QWERTY keyboard too – bringing some luxury feel to the mundane task of sending and receiving emails.

Hot on the heels of our full Nokia N8 review here come the results of the Finnish flagship’s battery test. With the N8 battery being non-user-removable (or at least not without a Torx screwdriver) the battery life will probably be more important to potential customers than usual.
The Nokia N8 managed to survive for 42 hours (or just under two days) Read more »
The greenpois0n jailbreak is now available and does its magic to every iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad and 3rd and 4th generation iPod Touch. It implements the GeoHot’s exploit used in his limera1n jailbreak tool that was released this weekend.
Team HyperX has been working on a way to overclock Symbian phones for quite some time now and they’ve had a breakthrough. They are the guys that oveclocked the Nokia 5230 all the way to 800MHz, but this new patch reportedly works on all Cortex A8 based Symbian smartphones – good news for owners of Samsung Omnia HD and the latest Sony Ericsson cameraphones…
Now that was a press conference that will be talked about for quiet some time. Along with the official launch of the Windows Phone 7 OS, Microsoft and their partners revealed almost a dozen new phones to run it.
The WP7 launch event surprised us nicely with 11 new announcements
With the WP7 minimum requirements standing at the top of currently available technology there isn’t much to choose between all those new offerings. They all have 1 GHz Snapdragon CPUs, large WVGA screens and generous amount of RAM and internal storage. Read more »
Modu is back – their new Modu T phone marks a huge bump in the specs compared to the original model and revamps the concept of jackets with the new “fy” devices. It’s also the lightest touch phone in the world, says Guinness…
The wait is finally over. The limera1n iOS jailbreaking tool is here to make it rain again. The newly released software tool is still in beta but if you dare to give it a try it would jailbreak your iOS 4.1 iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad, iPod touch 3G and 4G. However, you should know a few more things about it before you go for it.
Meanwhile, the greenpois0n, the other upcoming jailbreak tool that was due for a today’s launch, is getting delayed.
The Nokia N8 hit the shelves less a few days ago but the guys over at ifixit already gave it their disassembly treatment. The metal-clad handset has been given a rating of 8 (out of 10) for easiness of repair. Unless you need to replace the glass over the display (which requires a heat gun) you can tear the Nokia N8 flagship apart with nothing but a set of Torx screwdrivers.
And you would only need one such screwdriver to take out the standard BL-4D Nokia battery. It’s by far not that hard to change, despite the Finnish company claiming that it is not user-replaceable. Still this will probably void your warranty so you might do better taking your N8 to a Nokia service center if needed. Read more »
We are pretty sure someone in the Motorola’s US division screwed up big time uploading the DROID 2 Global info on the site before the official announcement. The page was removed almost instantly but most of the information has already escaped in the wild.
The successor of the Verizon’s DROID 2 – DROID 2 Global – is a dual mode CDMA/GSM device with slightly improved specs. It will pack the world’s first 1.2GHz mobile processor and will sport a redesigned QWERTY keyboard.
It seems Verizon’s latest DROID is going global. Don’t get this wrong, DROID 2 Global is still a Verizon-only device, it’s just capable of working on GSM networks too. Read more »

Along with the GSM-loving Motorola BRAVO, FLIPSIDE and SPICE we get to meet two CDMA-compatible devices, the Motorola DROID PRO and the more affordable CITRUS.
