Dell, Google May Make Joint Android/Google Phone Announcement at 3GSM
"Senior industry sources" are making the bold claim that Dell and Google are going to announce a joint effort to make THE GOOGLE PHONE at the 3GSM conference in February. That sounds unlikely to us, and with Dell's history of putting their name on other people's gadgets (the iPod, for example), if anything it's probably just another manufacturer announcing that they'll make an Android phone. What else could be announced at a phone conference? [MarketingWeek]

My favorite 3GSM iPod Substitute: More Shots of the Sony Ericsson w880 Walkman Phone and Friends
In my mad dash to get to Spain (I had a little over 24 hours to pack, find a hotel, etc), I forgot to charge my iPod. Now if I woulda had one of these mobiles by my side, everything would've been alright. Granted, none of these phones would have lasted me the full 6+ hour flight from NY to Barcelona, but they would've put a temporary end to the crying moppet behind my seat on the airplane. Here are some of my personal favorite Sony Ericsson phones that were revealed at the show. Until I see the iPhone, I think these are the best music phones out there period. More »

Big and Proud: More Impressions of the Nokia e90 and the iMate Ultimate
I'm pretty superficial when it comes to my cell phones. I like them thin and stylish—drop them in your pocket and forget they're there. They gotta be smart too, I won't settle for any crap interface (although since I'm on Verizon, that's tough to do). So you'd think I'd be all over Samung's new Ultra series, right. Eh, not really. They need more carbs. Much to my surprise, I ended up falling for these two fatties instead. Nokia's E90 and the locked in glass iMate 7150. The E90 is huge. No doubt about it, but the over-sized keyboard feels great. As for the iMate, it's kinda like an E90 with WM6 (size-wise). Take a look and see what I mean. More »

Latest by JosephRaymond: I have a 9500(and a 9300i) and I love em, the 9300i is not much bigger than an old 3595 but in general these are workhorses, and great conversation starters. I feel like james bond with mine. even though it's more »

Locked in Glass: Five 3GSM Phones We'd Snatch in a Heartbeat
It's the final day here at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, and of all the phones I've seen, after the jump are the five I'd like to take back home with me. That is, if they hadn't been locked up in glass and/or under tight supervision. More »

The Beauty Behind the LG Prada Phone
It's day 4 here at 3GSM and the LG booth is once again packed with beautiful people and geeks alike. Everyone clamming to get some one-on-one time with the LG Prada lovechild. But today we come to you with some dirt on the LG Prada guardian, she's none other than Miss Barcelona 2003 semi-finalist, Laura Ocano Fernandez. If you'd like to see who beat Fernandez to the 2003 title, hit the jump. But in my eyes, Fernandez is the true winner cause she gets the highly-coveted responsibility of keeping the LG Prada's beautiful screen from being smudged up by the chubby digits of geeky tech journalists like myself. Gizmodo ES has even named her Miss Gizmodo and has more pics of her lovely hands here. More »

3GSM 2007: I Heart Motorola's Z8 Banana-Slider and Q9 Smartphone
Without a doubt, the Moto Q9 and the Z8 were the stars of Motorola's 3GSM booth. As a current Q owner, I can say the Q9 has some nice improvements. Most noticeably is the new QWERTY keyboard, which is spaced slight differently than the Q's, but just as comfortable to use. I'm not a fan of sliders, but the Z8 is also worth checking out. It's banana-shape design curves so that when you're on a call, the mic is closer to your mouth. What they call "HD video" is 30fps video, which took a few seconds to load/play, but otherwise ran flicker free. More »

3GSM: Battle of the Rotating Cellphone Screens
Look, we know these aren't coming to the US. But Asia's TV phones are too beautiful to not at least gawk over. And at 3GSM, there were plenty of mobiles with flipping, sliding, rotating screens, with my personal (clamshell) favorites being Sharp's AQUOS phone (which we had seen before) and NTT DoCoMo's upcoming F903iX Music phone. The Sharp phone has the better screen, no contest, but F903iX isn't as chubby, which being the superficial guy that I am, won me over. Check 'em out for yourselves. More »

Heavy Breathing with NTT DoCoMo's Alcohol Phone
We've shown you NTT DoCoMo's breathalayzer cell phone before, but here it is in the flesh at 3GSM. The phone is aimed at limosuine and bus companies, so unless you're a true alchie who needs to be told when it's ok to drive, you're not getting this phone. So we decided to put it to the test and see how sober (or drunk) we were. . . More »

Nokia CK-15W Bluetooth Display Car Kit
Another product from Nokia announced at 3GSM is the CK-15W Bluetooth display car kit. This device can sync up with your Nokia or other-branded phone and allow for full control of the phone functionality on the 2.2-inch color display. Make calls, receive calls, see contact list info and more on the small, full-color screen. The CK-15W is slated for a first quarter release for approximately $235. Really, do you need any more high-tech crap in your car? Nokia thinks so. More »

iMate's Ultimate Series Run WM6 and Feature VGA Screens
Looks like HTC's X7500 might have met its match. This beauty here is iMate's Ultimate 7150. A tablet/handheld/UMPC type smartphone that not only runs Windows Mobile 6, but also rocks the eye candy with a nice 3.8-inch VGA screen. The GSM/EDGE phone supports HSDPA connectivity and comes with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The model you see here is only a prototype, so it was locked behind glass and guarded heavily by fat mean-looking men. Luckily, we did get to grope the 7150's little sibling, the JAQ4. More »

At 3GSM, Nokia shows off how it plans to change the course of human history with its Video Center mobile YouTube service, first noticed on Monday. Since being able to watch all those high quality YouTube videos is of such great import in the grand scheme of things, I suppose being able to view them on-the-go is the next logical step. And if you're too busy to watch the videos live, you can download them to the cellphone's memory and view them later. Thank you, Nokia. We are forever in your debt. More »

3GSM's Smallest Mobile: the Neonode N2
And here is Neonode's latest baby, the N2, all wrapped up in its blanket. There's pretty much no way this phone will ever get U.S. citizenship, but if you love ultra-small gadgets, it doesn't get any smaller than this. The finger-stroke navigation takes a lot of getting used to (especially in a handheld that's the size of an old-school beeper) and holding it up to your ear makes you feel retarded (because it's so small). But props to Neonode for fitting all that gadgetry inside this little matchbook. Bonus pic after the jump. More »

One Night Stand with the HTC X7500
HTC was showing plenty of love for Windows Mobile at their 3GSM booth. Their number one star, however, was the X7500, the UMPC, laptop, smartphone hybrid that's seen more name changes than Prince. Spec-wise, we all know what the X7500 has to offer, so I won't rehash that. Instead I'll talk about what it's like using one cause after a quick date with the X7500, I have more gripes than I do love for it. More »

Quark Smartphone: Nvidia's iPhone Crusher
True video iPod or iPhone killer? To be honest, Nvidia's Quark smartphone has the makings of both. Unfortunately, it's only a concept, but if this is the ace up Nvidia's sleeve, we're psyched. First off, the Quark is a smartphone with a 3-inch touch-screen display. Aside from the power/hold switch, there are no moving buttons on this baby. Media-wise, it can play videos, music, and double as your digital photo album thanks to a 3MP camera that sits on the backside. Sounds cool, but you're probably wondering—where does Nvidia fit into the picture? Well. . . More »
