Unlocked and SIM-free iPhone 5s now available on Apple’s site

You don’t have to hold onto hope for that truly unlocked iPhone 5s any longer — it’s now available to buy on Apple’s site. To be clear, this version of Apple’s Touch ID-imbued flagship comes completely free of any carrier attachment, separating it from the unlocked T-Mobile variant that ships with a Magenta nano-SIM inside. The SIM-free GSM handset, which’ll ship within one to two weeks from order, is available in the standard 16GB/32GB/64GB storage and color configurations, so pricing remains the same at $649/$749/$849, respectively. But you’ll still need to hitch your data ride to AT&T or T-Mobile for that fancy phone to work in the US. So, the strings… they’re still attached. There are just fewer of them now.

Motorola MOTOSMART comes to UK in July: we go hands-on

Posted in: Today's Chili

Motorola isn’t letting the Atrix HD hog all the spotlight today. If you’d like your smartphone a little more to-the-point, the MOTOSMART distills just about everything cellular to its fundamentals. It’s as frugal as can be — the tiny full-touch phone packs a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 display, a 3-megapixel rear camera and the same MotoSwitch-layered Android 2.3 we saw half a year ago with the MOTOLUXE. Then again, that essentialism is really the focus, isn’t it? The MOTOSMART will cost just £100 ($155) SIM-free when it hits T-Mobile UK and other parts of Europe by the end of the month, so the barrier to entry is more like a speed bump. Click past the break for the video, some brief impressions, and the source for the hard details in the Italian-only listing that Motorola has so far.
