Nokia now shipping 700 and 701 to retailers, all our Symbian Belle are belong to us

Posted in: mobilepostmini, nokia, shipping, symbian, Today's Chili
The above tweet says it all, folks — the Nokia 700 and 701, two of the three Symbian Belle devices promised for a Q3 release last month, are shipping out to various retailers in just enough time to hit the deadline. As with many 140-character messages, it leaves us in wont for more information; we suppose, though, that most of the finer details were already given to us at the devices’ unveiling, and now it’s just up to the individual retailers to provide any missing pieces (if any) that remain. All that’s left to do is decide on a suitable outlet, right?

Posted in: 4G, HTC, LG, live, lte, mobilepostmini, motorola, samsung, Sony Ericsson, SonyEricsson, Today's Chili
We here at Engadget tend to spend a lot of way too much time poring over the latest FCC filings, be it on the net or directly on the ol’ Federal Communications Commission’s site. Since we couldn’t possibly (want to) cover all the stuff that goes down there, we’ve gathered up all the raw info you may want (but probably don’t need). Enjoy!

BlackBerry Curve Touch 9380 ‘Orlando’ poses for the masses, invites you to look… but not touch

Posted in: BlackBerry, mobile, mobilepostmini, research in motion, ResearchInMotion, RIM, smartphone, Smartphones, Today's Chili

There’s a new BlackBerry coming to town, and as you’re likely aware, it’s the first touchscreen-based Curve from Research in Motion. The folks BGR happened to score a few still shots of the pint-sized companion, where it’s situated next to its larger Torch sibling for comparison. The specs remain the same since we last checked in with the device, though as a quick point of clarification, its HD video capture is limited to 720p — as if you really expected full 1080p. We can’t include all the snapshots here, but it’s rather obvious this isn’t your father’s BlackBerry. If you’ve got a burning desire for these curves, you’ll find a full gallery in the source link below.

Nokia: first Windows Phones still shipping by end of year

Posted in: mango, Microsoft, mobilepostmini, nokia, Today's Chili, windows phone, WindowsPhone
Somewhere in the world, sometime between October 1st and December 31st, somebody will be able to purchase a Nokia-branded Windows Phone. Exactly where, when, or who is still in question. But Nokia at least took to the Twittersphere to reassure the masses that the company is still aiming to release a Windows Phone by the end of the year, though we likely won’t be seeing it ship in large volumes until early next year. Curiously enough, Nokia Australia’s Twitter account was included within the short message, which makes us wonder if they’re tossing a little clue our way. We’re hoping to have another entry on our Black Friday shopping list — not that it’s short as it is, of course.

Boost Mobile to tack $5 onto monthly Android Unlimited plans beginning October 6th

Posted in: Android, mobilepostmini, samsung, Today's Chili

Does the Samsung Transform Ultra quench your thirst for a prepaid high-performance Android handset? That’ll be an extra $5 a month, please. Boost Mobile sneakily attached the announcement to the end of this morning’s press release like it was a Congressional bill, casually mentioning that its monthly Android Unlimited plans will see the additional charge as of October 6th. Grandfathered customers won’t be affected — at least, not until they upgrade to a new Android device, at which time they’ll also be assessed the extra cost. Times they are a-changin’, it seems. Head below to see the full announcement.

HTC Sensation XE heads to UK October 1st, white HTC Radar inbound too

Posted in: HTC, mobilepostmini, Today's Chili, uk
What can we say — this retailer’s got some ambition. Phones 4U scored a few sweet deals with HTC, announcing that it’ll be the exclusive launch partner for the Sensation XE as it becomes available on October 1st (although O2 confirmed today that it’ll come its way “soon”). This is the first we’ve heard of an official release date for the Beats-integrated device, and we’re still unsure of pricing or availability for any other nook of the world. The retailer’s also geared up and ready to sell both the HTC Radar and original Sensation in white, also as UK exclusives; it appears as though it’s getting quite cozy with the Taiwanese company, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see more of these kinds of deals going forward.

Posted in: 4G, galaxy s ii, GalaxySIi, leak, leaks, mobilepostmini, samsung, Sprint, Today's Chili, WiMAX
It may not be available on Sprint until tomorrow, but the Samsung Epic 4G Touch’s trusty literary companion has already made its way to our eyes (and hearts). The upcoming device doesn’t hold quite as many secrets as it did merely a couple weeks ago, so perusing through over 150 pages of how-tos and FAQs may not be a tantalizing prospect unless you’re dead set on purchasing the phone this weekend and want to be prepared to show it off to your pals at tomorrow night’s soirée. Whatever your motivations, head to the source link to begin your adventure.

Pantech Breakout to make its LTE debut September 22nd?

Posted in: 4G, lte, mobilepostmini, Today's Chili, verizon, Verizon Wireless, VerizonWireless, vzw
With a powerhouse like the Motorola Droid Bionic now lodged firmly on Verizon’s 4G lineup, we’re not expecting very many folks to be downright impressed by the Pantech Breakout. The latest offering on Big Red’s LTE network appears to be ready for its emergence in a week. The folks over at Droid-Life not only got their hands on a full spec sheet of the device, they also have come across the user manual, available for download at the source link. It looks like the Breakout will offer a 4-inch WVGA display, Gingerbread, a 1GHz single-core CPU, 512MB of RAM, a 1,500mAh battery and a 5MP rear camera paired up with a VGA front-facing video chat cam. No pricing is mentioned, though Pantech has a track record of being a budget manufacturer, so we’re thinking this is aimed directly at the lower end of the LTE price spectrum. If all goes this doc’s way, we’ll be seeing the new device on September 22nd. Who’s in?

Google Goggles Android update makes your vacation photos slightly more interesting

Posted in: Android, app, application, camera, Google, mobilepostmini, search, smartphone, Today's Chili

Google Googles‘ powers of perception have become a little more perspicacious, thanks to a new update for Android users. With version 1.6, tourists can use their smartphones to take a picture of a given area, while Google’s visual search app works in the background to identify any notable landmarks, paintings or other objects. If it picks up on anything of interest, it’ll automatically notify the user, instantly endowing him or her with gooey chunks of knowledge. It seems like a pretty user-friendly refresh, though things will really get interesting if faces ever get involved. Hit up the source link below to download the update for yourself.
