Pictured below is what has been codenamed the BlackBerry London. The picture was found amongst some slides recently and shows the device as it presently could look. A previous image found late last year showed a more angular type device similar in looks to the P'9981 from Porsche design.

The official webpage for the Samsung Galaxy Note in Canada is now hinting that the large smartphone will be launching in mid-February in Canada.
An Intel Core i7 has been overclocked to 5.6GHz on a Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 motherboard. The motherboard is the first in the world to achieve a multiplier of 57x. Although it's not the fastest a chip has been overclocked, that record was set at 8.58Ghz, it is the fastest this model of the Core i7 has reached.
A new Android app has been launched that aims to hide tethering from carriers. The reason some users might want to do this is so that they can pay for the data allowance on their mobile plan and then use that allowance to either browse on a mobile device or browse on a laptop tethered to the device. Recently, carriers have decided to charge for tethering which means an additional cost to the user, even if they stay within their plan.
The image below is of a new device which is believed to be called the HTC Ville. The new device claims to be one of (or the) thinnest smartphone measuring just 8mm thin. That beats the iPhone 4S which is 9.3mm thick and the Galaxy S II which is 8.49mm at its thinnest point.
The device below is believed to be a mockup of what the next generation of BlackBerry smartphones will become. This particular model is believed to be the BlackBerry London and from what we understand, it will run the BBX OS when it launches next year.
Pictures of the HTC Edge have been found. The Edge is likely to be the first smartphone in the world that runs a quad-core processor. Other technical speaks (leaked of course) show that it has a 4.7 inch screen. The device will be just over 10mm thick.
As the day of launch moves on we are now finding out more of the details of the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone. Clove in the UK has just announced that it is selling the 16GB model for £514.80 inc VAT. This is of course the unlocked price. We have also been told that the 32GB model is not coming to the UK. We'll wait for a bit more clarification on that as it could mean Clove is not stocking the 32GB model or that the larger model will only be available locked and on contract.
We already heard rumblings of the iPhone 4S having just 512MB of RAM and this has now been confirmed by both iFixit who took the iPhone 4S apart yesterday and by Anandtech who did some research on the part numbers found on the chips found inside.
The possible reasons for Apple choosing to use a lower amount of RAM are likely to do with power consumption. The more RAM the more cells that need updating.
Some tests have revealed that the iPhone 4S A5 processor could be clocked at about 800MHz. In a time when we are starting to see smartphones with 1.5GHz CPUs you might be thinking Apple has made a mistake here. However, based on other performance tests it seems that the low clock speed has made the OS extremely optimised and therefore, can keep things running at a high speed. The benefits of a lower clock speed means that the battery is able to keep the device running for longer.
The photo below is believed to give a brief glimpse at the Google Nexus Prime. As you can see from the side profile, it has a curved glass front and looks very slim.
A new smartphone has been announced by LG. The LG Optimus LTE has a few new features which includes LTE connectivity to speed up downloads of data. As well as getting a connectivity boost, LG has also included a 4.5 inch IPS display which they call IPS True HD. The resolution of the screen is 1280 x 720 pixels and is claimed to be the first of its kind that will launch in South Korea.
