If you are running a Nokia S60 device you can grab the Fring install now. Once installed you’ll need to signup for the FringOut service. When you have registered you’ll then be able to start making international calls from your smartphone at low rates. [Read more…]

If you have a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch then the Covert app found over on Cydia can be installed. What it does is adds a tweak to the browser on the iOS based device to allow you to switch browsing to a private mode, much like how Firefox and Internet Explorer have a private section of the browser.

What this mode does is allow you to browse the internet from the iOS device in complete privacy. For example, you could be looking up some health condition that you don’t want others to know you searched for.

The app integrates in to Mobile Safari and simply ads a button on the bottom tool bar that you can press to jump in to private mode. [Read more…]

Could Facebook really be concieving the idea of a ‘Facebook’ smart phone?? Quite possibly, though many people (including facebook themselves) have denied these rumors.

Via Mashable…

Spokesperson Jaime Schopflin revealed the following in a statement to Mashable:

“The story, which originated in Techcrunch, is not accurate. Facebook is not building a phone. Our approach has always been to make phones and apps more social. Current projects include include everything from an HTML5 version of the site to apps on major platforms to full Connect support with SDKs to deeper integrations with some manufacturers.  Our view is that almost all experiences would be better if they were social, so integrating deeply into existing platforms and operating systems is a good way to enable this. For an example, check out Connect for iPhone and the integration we have with contact syncing through our iPhone app.  Another example is the INQ1 phone with Facebook integration (the first so-called ‘Facebook Phone’). The people mentioned in the story are working on these projects. The bottom line is that whenever we work on a deep integration, people want to call it a ‘Facebook Phone’ because that’s such an attractive soundbite, but building phones is just not what we do.”

Back in June we wrote a post that said that the HTC Desire may be getting itself the new Android 2.2 update around June time, but we did also say that this date was not set in stone…  The SIM free update came just after, early in August. This was followed by the update for Vodafone users. Now that we’re in September, T-Mobile has finally started to push out the Android 2.2 update.

Quite why other mobile devices such as Sony Ericssons’ Xperia X10 are still left out of the loop is anyone’s guess and as soon as we here anything else we’ll let you know.

According to CNET, Microsoft [MSFT] is delaying the launch of CDMA based Windows Phone 7 smartphones until next year. The launch this year will be for GSM variants that will be launched around the globe.

“We had to make some trade-offs,” senior product manager Greg Sullivan told CNET today. “Even Microsoft doesn’t have unlimited resources. We had to prioritize doing fewer things, really, really well.”
