The Dell Mini 3i that was reported recently as going to China only now appears to be moving to the US also in the next few months.

The Mini 3i will be shipping in the US and will be aimed at competing with other Android handsets from companies such as HTC, Samsung and Motorola who are quickly making a mark in that territory.

When Crunch Gears tipster had a play with the Mini 3i it was reported that the phone was cheap and plasticky but it is expected that the phone will be spruced up when it makes it to the US. [Read more…]

PhoneArena managed to get hold of a pre-production BlackBerry Storm 2, also known as the 9550 and take it for a quick test to see how it compares to the original. The first BlackBerry Storm was described as a bit of a failure although it still shifted a few million devices. The second version was designed to get around the faults and failings of the first version. Lets see if it succeeded.

The screen has had a big upgrade which now houses 4 sensors instead of 1 like the predecessor. This does improve the touchscreen and specifically while typing, a lot fewer errors were found. However, the buttons running just below the screen only seemed to work 1/3 of the time which is quite bad. Remember that this is a pre-production model that was being tested though. [Read more…]

The information came earlier today from what seems to be someone working at T-Mobile who mentioned that the phone was starting to show up on their systems. Two reports came in and now confirmation has also come through to support this. [Read more…]

The BlackBerry Storm 2, AKA BlackBerry 9550, is getting launched soon. BlackBerryCool managed to get hold of a pre-production model to test what’s new about it and how the new fancy screen actually works.

Not much has been posted by the guys at blackberrycool just yet, but the purpose of the post linked to above was to ask their audience what they wanted to know about it. What we do know is that it’s got a newer operating system and the screen has been reworked a little to provide a better feedback.

According to the brief review the screen works better thanks to a shortened travel distance which makes the keyboard more responsive. [Read more…]

Over on Howard Forums some pictures of the new Motorola Tao have apparently been shown. The Motorola Tao was previously known as the Sholes and Shules and runs the Google Android OS. The phone is predicted to be a dual-band CDMA phone that is powered by a 1390mAh battery. A screen resolution of 480 x 854 pixels will be found on a screen measuring 3.7 inches.

The camera on the Motorola Tao will be 5 megapixels and input will be either by the touchscreen and QWERTY keyboard. The phone is built of a metal construction making it slightly heavier than the average phone, but from what we have seen in the pics is looks fantastic.

Take a read of the thread over at Howardforums to get an idea of what’s coming up. It might take a while to read the 58 pages and counting, but there’s some interesting stuff in there mixed in with regular comments. [Read more…]
