Sprint Touch gets WinMo 6.1, too

Sprint's just churning out Windows Mobile 6.1 as fast as they can it seems.  Yesterday we saw a new Mogul ROM surface, and today the Touch gets the same update.  Users are reporting a quicker GPS fix and overall improved stability over previous custom ROMs.  Since this is an official Sprint ROM there is no need to unlock your device or worry about bricking it, bu ...

Bold delayed until mid-August? According to BGR the Bold will not launch on AT&T until mid-August.  Apparently RIM is running into software issues causing poor battery life and overheating, and therefore the device has not been certified by AT&T yet.  This of course has not been confirmed by either company, but lets face it, BGR's word is nearly as good an official RIM press release.  No mention of this affecting other carriers or not, but if it's only AT&T having issues we wonder how long that ...

AT&T now offers W580 in Red

Most likely, Sony Ericsson W580 has been a great success for AT&T, because the carrier now offers yet another color variant. After white, gray, black, pink and green, the Walkman slider is now available in vivid red. Of course, the price remains the same, $99 after two-year contract and mail-in rebate, which is just fine for a lady-friendly music-centric device. If this is too eccentric for you, maybe the pink will do just fine. See them all below and choose the color that suits you best.

According to sources cited by Reuters, Virgin Mobile USA has agreed to purchase Helio from SK Telecom for an unknown sum. The deal is not final, but the two companies have agreed to loose terms. Virgin Mobile USA would purchase the 69% of Helio that SK Telecom owns, but no word was available on whether or not Earthlink will sell its share of Helio as well. Earthlink has a 28% stake in Helio. Under the initial terms of the agreement, SK Telecom would agree to invest a nominal amount of money in Helio once Virgin Mobile USA takes it over. Both Helio and Virgin Mobile USA have struggled to succeed. Combining the two wireless providers could prove beneficial to the merged entity.

Samsung revealed some spanking new mobiles at the Singapore Telecommunications Exhibition - the Samsung J800 Luxe and Samsung L700. They also showcased the Samsung L870.

Samsung J800 Luxe

Samsung J800 Luxe name sounds a bit misleading as there is nothing luxurious about the handset. The Samsung J800 Luxe is a mid-range slider with the reasonable thickness of 15mm and a 2.2-inch 256K TFT display with the meager resolution of 176 x 220 pixels.

Samsung J800 sports a 2 megapixel camera, lacking autofocus but the phone features photo blog function, which allows direct image upload to blogs (over the 3G connection).

Sprint recently rolled out a brand-new walkie-talkie service based on different technology compared to what it has used in the past. Previous Sprint Nextel phones used the Nextel iDEN network to pass walkie-talkie signals back and forth. This service was fast and reliable, and has become a way of life for literally millions of users.

The problem is Sprint's iDEN network is old, and has no clear migration path to 4G. This means Sprint is faced with the challenge of providing a comparable walkie-talkie service over its existing CDMA network. Sprint and technology partner Qualcomm have cooked up a new way for walkie-talkie signals to pass back and forth over the CDMA network with performance equivalent to that of the old iDEN network. It is called QChat. QChat needs some serious 3G action to work. It needs EVDO Rev. A (which has shorter lat ... Read more »

A contingent of mobile players have formed the Symbian Foundation with the intent of merging Symbian OS, S60, UIQ and MOAP to forge one open source mobile software platform. The companies include Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and NTT DoCoMo. These four companies, in partnership with AT&T, LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone, will all join to create the not-for-profit Foundation. In order to make this work, Nokia is buying the remaining shares of Symbian and will then give its Symbian and S60 software to the Foundation. Motorola, Sony Ericsson and DoCoMo have also agreed to contribute their own assets to the Foundation. With all the assets lumped together, the Symbian Foundation will create an open source, unified platform with a standardized user interface. Foundation members will have royalty-free access to the platform. The Foundation hop ... Read more »
