Ogo CC-10 throws time-tested formula to the wind, goes portrait QWERTY

Jul 4th 2009 7:01AM on Engadget Mobile

Is this a Palm designed handset? Sure reeks of early 2000s Palm.

"The stuff's in the back": AT&T previews its new lineup

Mar 30th 2009 9:56AM on Engadget Mobile

You realize that AT&T produced this video, right?

Sheesh...this is lame thus far. New hardware, please...

Nokia E71 finally coming to AT&T as E71x

Simply add a MediaNET unlimited package to the phone number you plan on rocking the phone on. $15 for all you can eat data, as opposed to $30 a month for all you can eat data.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic now listed at ?429 for Spain, up from ?279

Whoa...too, too expensive.

$199 is the sweet spot for this one...initial software doesn't seem to be "up to snuff"...and reviews bear this out.

I really dig Symbian, but not at this price...I suppose a Storm will be my next acquisition, sorry Nokia!

Samsung's SPH-W6050 is the perfect excuse to visit Korea

I hate to disagree, but the women are a much better reason than any cell phones to visit Korea.

AT&T starts to hawk Samsung Eternity online

Nov 14th 2008 11:03AM on Engadget Mobile

Agreed...the exclusion of wi-fi is the biggest sin this phone makes.

However, as far as leaving out Window Mobile - that just means you get a better OS, as well as $15 unlimited MediaNet v. a $30 smartphone package.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 makes date with US: Black Friday for $799.99

$800 for a phone...ah, eh...how about no thanks.

Subsidize it into the $299 ballpark (like the iPhone, Bold, Fuze) and we may be talking.

AT&T Quickfire is, as promised, available

Yes, this is a phone for the teen/tween set. My 12 year old thinks it's the greatest phone ever. Which in my mind, is exactly what at&t was shooting for here.

However, others have said they dig it too. In just playing around with my son's, I will confess that it isn't a bad phone. Not my cup of tea, but still a pretty decent effort. And in terms of the demographic they're aiming for, they nailed it dead center.

@ fadi - I've got the rebate form right in front of me. There is NO requirement for a 24 month contract listed.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
