Some leaked information has revealed that the HTC Mondrian Windows Phone 7 smartphone will be also landing on a mobile network over in Germany. Up till now, we had only heard of the AT&T version.

Part of the giveaway is that the device has some of the German language on the screen shots. The information isn’t official just yet and there isn’t too much we know about the Mondrian. [Read more…]

It appears that a T-Mobile G2 has been delivered a little earlier than expected. Someone managed to get their hands on one from somewhere, either through the post or perhaps a store worker.

The lucky person managed to capture some video of the device showing it being unboxed and having a quick test to show us what its about. As we often see with sneaky early videos, the phone is captured by blurry cam which means the quality isn’t good at all although you do get an idea of how it looks and what its about. [Read more…]

We have seen a hack before that allows the iPhone 3GS to get HDR photography. This modification required that you jailbreak the iPhone 3GS and edit a file to activate the feature.

What we hear now is that Apple [AAPL] could have intended on the iPhone 3GS getting HDR photography all along. The information comes from a couple of images of the HDR button found in the firmware for the phone. Two image files were found. One of them had a retina display enhanced version of the HDR image (button found at the top of the screen when capturing an image). A second lower resolution image was also found that looks to be optimised for the regular display.

What this indicates is a couple of things. Either Apple intended the HDR feature to be included in iOS 4.1 for the 3GS, or that they might add it in the future. [Read more…]

The Nokia Conversations blog has announced that the first batch of Nokia N8 Symbian^3 smartphones have now let the production lines and factory over in China. What this means is that the official launch is just around the corner.

No specific dates of delivery have been given other than a hint of the devices arriving with customers over the coming weeks. The N8 is launching globally which means that production of the device will be ramping up over the coming weeks to make sure there is plenty of stock available in all countries that the device will land in.

For some users who were the first to pre-order, you could actually get your device before the weekend which basically means you’ll get it either today or tomorrow. [Read more…]
