Lumia 635 screenshot leaks to complement last week’s 630 pic

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

Among the many Nokia devices we’ve heard rumored to be in production, we’ve had a few opportunities over the last several weeks to learn about this hardware codenamed Moneypenny. The story that’s emerged paints Moneypenny as a pair of handsets, the Lumia 630 and Lumia 635, and besides being new additions to the Lumia mid-range lineup, the phones should also bring dual-SIM support – or at least, one of them might. One week ago today we had ...

ASUS alludes to spectrum of device sizes for CES announcement

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

What do you think of when it comes to ASUS devices? The Nexus 7? Maybe the PadFone/FonePad? While the company has been experimenting with smaller devices (like last month’s PadFone Mini), ASUS is still largely seen as a tablet manufacturer. It may be interested in changing that perception, as the company releases a new teaser video for its CES event, one that sure could be hinting at a new range of ASUS smartphones. The “What’s your number?” spot ...

Windows Phone 8 jailbreak teased on Lumia 920

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

Windows Phone has been growing by leaps and bounds over the past few years, and for all the ways we’ve seen the platform mature, it still hasn’t really picked up a vibrant underground dev community. While we’ve seen the availability of some custom ROMs, the platform’s lacked an easily accessible, iOS-like jailbreak – or, at least not since Microsoft got to the ChevronWP7 guys. That may all soon be changing, ...

Audi and Google to introduce Android-equipped cars at CES?

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

If you’ve got a car, and you’ve got a smartphone, odds are good that you’ve taken advantage of the one to help you out with the other. That could be as simple as using Bluetooth to stream music from your phone to your car’s audio system, or maybe you even have a full-fledged car dock and often find yourself popping in your phone for use as a navigation aid. Whatever the nature of that relationship, it’s a common one, and one that’s likely to get a lot more intimate in the future; just as Apple ...

4GB of RAM could power the Galaxy S 5, as Samsung develops 8Gb memory chips

Posted on by Anton D. Nagy

Since 64-bit mobile computing is the new thing, thanks to Apple, Samsung is preparing to unveil some of its new processors at CES, hopefully new octa-core and 64-bit chips. Qualcomm already announced its own 64-bit SoC, but apparently Samsung is ready to take this even further with its new memory for mobile. The new 8Gb (meaning 1GB) low power double data rate 4 (LPDDR4) mobile DRAM developed by Samsung might hint that the Samsung Galaxy S 5 could arrive with 4GB on-board, to fully take ...

HTC Touch Pro2 – Pocketnow Throwback

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

There was a time when QWERTY keyboards were important, and when smartphones were designed for business users, and not necessarily the rest of us humans. Back then, Windows Mobile had just defeated Palm in market share, and the next frontier was to defeat BlackBerry and Nokia. Now can you believe this all happened just four years ago? Today we take some time to revisit one of the best Windows Mobile smartphones we ever reviewed, the HTC Touch Pro2. Originally called the HTC Rhodium, this device was the most feature-packed monster you could buy. It’s a small device by today’s ...

Galaxy Note 3 durability report

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has been in the market for almost two months today. There’s no denying that the company hit a home run with their third iteration of the world’s first phablet, and many of you either have one, or want one. If you received the Note 3 on launch day like we did, there’s a very big chance that you’ll already have a fair idea of how this product stands-up to the wear and tear of daily use. I’ve always been famous among my friends for how much I baby my gadgets. I’m not a real fan of cases, but the way I keep my devices in pristine condition ...
