I can almost hear the dubious whispers now, “It isn’t real!” and to be honest those covert whispers are probably right. Anyway, the screenshot below is apparently taken from the new Knight Rider series. Which seems to show a type of touch user interface on the Nokia N95, so is Nokia trying to tell us something? I’m not sure but we’re sure to see leaked S60 touch powered handsets over the internet, and well Nokia mounting a touch-screen on the N95 would make sense wouldn’t it?
S60 developers and users have always found the need to layout cash to get their hard-work certificate to run on the platform Nokia likes to call “open.”But now finally and not without great thanks to the Symbian hacking community they have actually developed what sounds to be an ease to do method of “jailbreaking” the Symbian 9.2 handset, which would be the S60 3rd Edition FP1 users. Once done installed applications will not need a certificate what so ever let alone a valid one.

Nokia has reviled their 6263 3G handset that features a 2.2-inch LCD display and a 1.3 Megapixel camera.
This phone also boosts from a fully integrated music player that supports MP3 and in the picture above you can see that on the phone there are 3 music keys for music control.
This phone comes with a built-in Bluetooth and a microSD card slot.

Police were contacted back in January by the Apple Store, however it took the police three months to dig all through the stores records so that they could build up a case against the store employees. William Ganley the Deputy Police Chief said “the department has dealt with a lot of employee thefts over the years, but nothing comparable to the iPhone case.”
However Lilly did say that there are a handful of platforms on the market that are more open to them, one handset is the Nokia N810 internet tablet. All people need to do is get the code for Firefox and just run with it, this is made easy as Firefox uses the XUL interface.
So here we have the CECT P168 which is yet another Apple iPhone clone, and I have to say this handset really does look like the iPhone. The concepts of this phone even have the same wallpaper as the Apple’s handset.
I'm not convinced there's necessarily a correlation between using gadgetry in bed and not having sex. Oh, not that way; I mean if you do have your phone sitting on the nightstand (80% of Britons) and happen to send and receive messages from it (25% of those), that doesn't mean you're not also indulging in a spot of hide the stylus. MSNBC begs to disagree.
We've known the BlackBerry 9000 is incoming for a while now - and the model was even confirmed by RIM's CEO recently - but the chaps at Engadget Mobile have managed to wangle a hands-on that leaves the much-rumoured device in no doubt at all.
There is a brand new build of iPhone 1.2 from Apple - also known as 2.0 beta to developers. As with any other new build, you will find fixes to problems found in previous releases, including a Contact.app icon that appears on the home screen. Parental controls cannot be used to control both the AppStore and iTunes store, while there is no need for iSIM anymore since the iPhone will be able to import directly from your SIM card. New languages such as French, German, Nederlands, Italian, Spanish, Portugues, Dansk, Suomi, Norsk Bokmal, and Svenska among others have also been included to widen its appeal, while Mail, Contacts, and Calender are all grouped into the Preferences category.
The Motorola Z9 will be launching this April 1st apparently, with AT&T being the carrier. Word has it that TeleNav will be rebadged as AT&T Navigator, so one can reasonably expect the Z9 to feature an A-GPS solution since the handset itself doesn't support GPS in the first place. There is no word on pricing at this point in time, but like the adage goes - good things come to those who wait. No matter what, it doesn't look as though the Motorola Z9 will revive the company's fortunes anytime soon.
Levi’s is releasing an exclusive limited edition phone known as the Red Tab phone. It features an integrated MP3 player, stereo bluetooth and a 2.0-megapixel camera with flash along with a ‘premium’ presentation box, a case for the handset, stereo hands free kit, a metal chain and optional name customization of up to 13 letters. This baby is limited to about 100 worldwide and will only be available at Colette for €550 ($870).
Vodofone of Spain has announced that they will be selling the Nokia 6210 Classic aka the Internet Edition. It comes with a (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) connection and will be sold in Spain through Vodofone. The 6210 Classic also features a 2.0-megapixel camera with LED flash, video call camera, and the panorama mode. They want about €0 with contract.

The Palm Centro might have sold a whole bunch, but it still isn't doing enough to drag Palm out of the woods just yet. For those who are contemplating on picking up a Centro, you will be pleased to know that there is a black colored version now available - at least in AT&T's store at Salt Lake City, Utah. Pricing details are tipped to remain the same since the only cosmetic change is the color.
Since the iPhone was released, there are certain segments who still fantasize about the iPhone nano although that doesn't look as though it will be rolling out anytime soon. Here's an iPhone nano concept for you to ponder over - using it in landscape mode will leave you with a rather wide-looking handset. I think it is best to just stick with the current iPhone design at this point in time until the folks at Cupertino think of something better. Let's not rush what is supposed to come naturally now, shall we?
Samsung's Access handset will be the first device from AT&T to support their Mobile TV service, in addition to providing one-touch access to AT&T Video Share and AT&T Mobile Music. Other features of this dual-band 3G and quad-band GSM cell phone include :-
Check out these cordless phone concepts, known as Colombo One and Colombo Two. Designed by London-based Chauhan Studio, the former stands straight up and pays homage to the early Ericofon of the 1950s and 60s while the latter (as shown above) is more laidback, complete with cradle and all. This is one of the rare times where concept will actually turn to reality, as both handsets will be made available later this year at a modest price.
The Motorola MING A1800 has pulled a surprise, being a CDMA and quad-band GSM device while featuring a couple of SIM card slots. Yes, this means you can literally carry two phones in one, although it can be a pain trying to switch between lines especially if you're one busy beaver who spend more time talking on the phone than leaving it in your pocket. Features include a 3 megapixel autofocus camera and Bluetooth connectivity among others.There is no word on pricing and availability of this Linux-powered handset at this point in time, but more details will probably be shed at CTIA next week.
Talk about a cell phone that can start/stop your heart - not because of its price nor its looks, but just because it comes with a defibrillator built in. Well, that's what the patent says anyway, so we're not sure whether it will actually roll off the manufacturing lines or not. Portable defibrillators sound like a good idea considering 400,000 Americans pass away each year due to Sudden Cardiac Death, and hopefully this handset is equipped with some sort of safety mechanism in order to avoid unexpected ear shocks.
My refurb AT&T iPhone finally arrived and I found a chance to test out iLiberty+ this afternoon. After wasting a day jailbreaking and messing with my new iPhone, I just could not bypass that annoying activation screen. Yes, I could ssh into the unit and run stuff from the command line but I had to keep working my way around "Connect to iTunes" to get to the SpringBoard screen. So I gave iLiberty+ a try.
After a few false starts, it got going and worked brilliantly. I was able to track progress with the on-screen updates and not only did it activate my iPhone but allowed it to work with a disposable Cingular SIM I had on-hand. All in all, a great success.
After activation though, I could not get iLiberty to work with the iPhone still connected. I wanted to grab screen shots and the program would not launch and stay launched. (I have crash logs if any of the developers are interested.) So in the end, I unplugged the iPhone in order to get the one screen shot you see here.
Part of me wanted to deactivate the iPhone and try again for a screen grab gallery but a much smarter part of me asked "why mess with success?" Given how badly I messed up the phone several times today, that was the part I listened to. A later, complete reboot seemed to fix the problem but I was in no position to go backwards after a day fending off cranky children and an impatient husband, all of whom seemed to think there was a world outside of iPhone.

Vivendi Games' mobile division revealed that the original episodic mobile game franchise, Surviving High School had a breakout year in 2007 with 7.5 million episodes downloaded. The volume of game and episode downloads qualifies the Surviving High School franchise as the most successful original IP in mobile gaming history.
Originally released in 2005, the game soon got its successor - Surviving High School '07. The sequel built on the commercial success of the first title, "building out the game's episodic format and refining its story lines." During 2007, the game was promoted via a range of Web 2.0 campaigns and viral marketing initiatives, and the game fans even created a dedicated Facebook group.
With the latest release of the Surviving High School game, players enjoy improved graphics, additional characters and new storylines, and can even help shape the game's ongoing plot by submitting their original story ideas online… Official release is available from here.

Apple has now released their iPhone SDK beta 2 software, and is ready for download now. If you do decide to try and download this SDK from Apple, be prepared to wait a while as their servers are being pushed to the limit.
The Blackberry Pearl 8120 has finally made it to AT&T. The phone comes with a 2 megapixel camera with video recording capability, 3.5mm headphone jack, Quadband GSM/EDGE connectivity, WiFi support, Push-to-Talk, GPS navigation, microSD memory card slot, and bluetooth connectivity. Get the 8120 for $300 with a 2-year plan.
Apparently you can’t. One of the interesting aspects to the Kwame Kilpatrick text message scandal, where the mayor of Detroit and his chief-of-staff/ mistress were caught lying, via long discarded text messages is that while you can erase a message from your cell phone, that doesn’t mean the cell phone company is erasing it from their records. Steve Hall of the FBI explains:
So I've been reading today about the proposed spinning off of Motorola handsets division into a separate company; mystified why anyone would think this is a good idea, when clearly the right call is to fire Motorola CEO Greg Brown and just get someone competent to do his job.
Ok, that's probably not the real reason that India is set to become the world's second largest cell phone market (call centers probably use Skype) but how ironic would that be, if they knocked off the current number two, the United States because they were calling the United States?
The day Detroit mayor Kwame Kilpatrick had to know was coming is finally here, as both he and former chief of staff Christine Beatty have been charged with breaking 12 different laws including perjury and obstruction of justice.
Take a deep breath so you get this: Kilpatrick and Beatty fired city employee Gary Brown in 2002 for blowing the whistle on the two of them having an extra-marital affair with each other. While the mayor's office claimed Brown retired voluntarily, Brown disagreed. Kilpatrick and Beatty might have gotten away with the lie except investigators found 14,000 text messages back and forth to each other, including one that straight up read "we are going through this mess because of a decision that we made to fire Gary Brown."
You can read our original coverage of the Kwame Kilpatrick text messages here.
Anyway, while Kilpatrick has thus far been able to remain in office, despite an over $8 million dollar pay out to the fired parties, this will probably be the end of the line for him as the Detroit City Charter does not allow an elected official convicted of a felony committed while in office to keep their post.

In a development shocking only because it took over two days to figure out, TMZ has confirmed that the girl in the Lindsay Lohan sex tape isn't Lindsay Lohan. Apparently Lohan’s career has taken such a nosedive she can’t even get cast in her own sex tape at this point.
Ok, there's an excellent chance it's not really her. But if it, the cell phone video of Lindsay Lohan giving a blowjob has now made it's way to the internet. It's reportedly footage of her with ex-boyfriend Calum Best, but wasn't taken by Best as clearly a third person is working the camera phone.
You can see the Lindsay Lohan blowjob video here; but it's short and boring and I'd rather watch paint dry.

For humans water is fountain of life. In terms of iPhones, it's the fastest way to flush $500 down the drain. Well actually literally flushing an iPhone down the drain would be the fastest way to flush an iPhone down the drain... and that includes water... totally losing the concept of a metaphor here... What was the point? Oh right - so you can spend a load of money on a designer case to protect your iPhone from the liquid known as water or you can just go to the supermarket and get a common ziplock bag.
sense of shame not included Having trouble getting dates? Maybe your just not coming across as desperate enough.
A LCD screen that you stick to the side of your windshield, CallMe Prism will solve your problem, posting your number for every hot babe... er gay trucker to copy and call.
Seriously is this gadget good for anything other than anonymous gay sex in a rest stop bathroom? I'd tell you how to get a hold of one but Larry Craig has already bought out the entire stock.
Lou Reed has always been a New York City man, but that doesn't mean he can't translate to other languages. When a cell phone went off during his keynote address at the South By Southwest Festival in Texas, he dealt with it the only way a punk icon should. Confrontationally.
Well the New York Times has finally identified the call girl that brought down New York Govenor Eliot Spitzer and her name is Ashley Youmans... or Ashley Rae Maika DiPietro... or Ashley Alexandra Dupré as she's currently calling herself.
But it's never been "Kristen" as she was called in the phone calls and text messages referenced in the FBI affidavit... nor is she really a swimsuit model as The Emperor’s Club website claimed.
Ashley Alexandra Dupré Jan 2008
Ashley Alexandra Dupré's actual story is she's a 22-year-old that comes from a broken home. After a man she was living with found out he had two children, he walked out on her, leaving her needing to pay the rent and into the high priced call girl world of The Emperor’s Club.
It turns out Ashley Alexandra Dupré is also an aspiring musician and you can listen to her music on her Myspace page which also features plenty of Ashley Alexandra Dupré pictures. No Ashley Alexandra Duprés pics as explicit as you'd expect to see of a call girl but she's very beautiful, as you can see here.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the last two days you've heard of the Emperor's Club and how that relates to Eliot Spitzer, or how he's now more commonly known "Client-9".
The New York Governer officially resigned this morning, just 15 months after getting elected with a record 70% of the popular vote, and with polls showing 70% of New Yorkers now didn't want him. What caused his fall from grace is a complex question, involving reckless personal behavior and an obsure 1910 law called the Mann Act, meant to keep Black Men from having out-of-state White girlfriends.
last women Eliot Spitzer will see naked for a while
But regardless Eliot Spitzer would still be in office next Monday morning if it wasn't for the Federal wiretaps that recorded the phone conversations and text messages between Emperor's Club empoyees and Eliot Spitzer.
The Smoking Gun has posted the FBI affidavit and the exchanges between Eliot Spitzer and his whores which reveal one key thing. The biggest problem with paying a hooker $4,300 isn't getting the money... it's figuring out how to withdraw that large amount of money without your bank reporting it.
Anyway, you can read all the Eliot Spitzer call girl phone calls text messages here.
UPDATE: The call girl involved with Eliot Spitzer has been revealed to be the 22-year-old Ashley Alexandra Dupré. You can see Ashley Alexandra Dupré pictures here.

The lack of notes syncing on the iPhone and iPod touch just continues to baffle me. Just like To Do syncing it seems like a no brainer, especially in the case of notes since it's such a pain to type anything very long on the iPhone keyboard. The iPhone hacking community has been working on the problems and a clever Mac application called iPhoneNotes bring basic notes transfer between a Mac and a jailbroken iPhone.
Not only does this handset look like the iPhone, it even features a dual-SIM carriage so that you will be able to carry two numbers in a single handset. What are some of the goodies available in exchange for $199.67?
Nokia rolls out the 6300i that offers a fully integrated VoIP client in addition to its GSM cell phone capabilities, providing you with the best of both worlds. Hooking up to an available wireless network is a snap, and the fact that you can make VoIP calls with this clearly encourages you to save more on your minutes and rely on VoIP instead when communicating with your close and loved ones. The 6300i can store an astounding 2,000 VoIP, home and cell numbers - more friends than you can shake a stick at. These can be listed side-by-side, while dedicated WLAN and VoIP symbols ensure you know exactly what the connection status and type of phone call is being made at the moment. No idea on how much it costs though.
RadTech has a new pair of in-ear isolation headphones known as the ProCable iPhone headset. This allows you to not only enjoy your favorite tunes wherever you are (subject to the iPhone's battery life, of course), but it also enables you to answer incoming phone calls without missing a beat. A 'sound valve' feature has been included, letting you listen to music at a lower volume whil ebeing aware of what sounds there are around you. Choose from black and silver colors, with the ProCable iPhone headset being priced at $24.95.
