The introduction of the QWERTY keyboard has come as a result of consumer demand since its introduction on a number of other leading phone models and every step has been taken to ensure that it has not been introduced at the expense of the slim line profile and excellent entertainment features but in a way that will complement and enhance these

Staying true to their promise, AT&T has finally released the Motorola Backflip, which comes as their first ever Android-powered smartphone. It has actually been available in China and Italy already, so now Americans can as well get a hold of this interestingly unique smartphone.

If you’re wondering what makes it unique among other Android phones with QWERTY keyboard and touchscreen display, well, this Motorola Backflip comes with a backflip mechanism on its QWERTY keyboard, which would be revealed on a reverse flip. Moreover, this also comes with a Backtrack touch panel on the other side of the touchscreen display for faster easier way of navigating and scrolling.

The Samsung Freeform that has already been released by Alltel Wireless since September of last year will now be coming to US Cellular. This won’t actually have any changes that even its name, color and entire features are the same.

It comes in a slim design with its candybar shape, and interesting enough, this actually has a QWERTY keyboard. Being in such small dimension, I’m not sure how small the keys are and if it will be an appropriate phone for those with big hands. But anyway, its specs are not much to ponder upon because these aren’t totally groundbreaking. These only include 2.2-inch 176 x 144 display, 1.3-megapixel camera, threaded…

Just a few days after the Nokia C5 has been officially announced, it finally hits the FCC and people behind the FCC finds it fit to be granted of their approval. This has actually been approved to work on quad-band GSM with 900/2100MHz 3G band, and it is also said to only come cheap in pricing.

Well, this should really come affordable since this is just another low-end device with no ground-breaking features. What’s actually interesting here is that this is the first phone that will come out from Nokia’s C series. But if you want to keep connected with your friends and family without spending much, you know this would…

The photo we’re seeing isn’t actually new as we’ve already seen this same photo back in December 2009 when it was rumored to come as the Motorola Opus One, an iDEN handset that is said to run on Android OS. The latest news is that this Motorola Opus One won’t actually be called as such, but rather, as the Motorola i1.

This leads to thinking that there could also be possibilities of having an i2 or even i3 in the works, eh? But anyway, we still don’t have any confirmed details and specs about this Motorola i1; but rumors are saying that aside from running on Android 1.5 OS, this will…

Aside from the LG Cookie Fresh GS290 and the LG Bali GM360, an LG Viewty GT400 has also been spotted during the CeBIT 2010 event in Germany. Unlike the original Viewty and the Viewty II though, this Viewty GT400 will only come as a mid-range feature phone that would probably appeal to those who are on a tight budget for a functional mobile phone.

Instead of having 8-megapixel camera, this LG Viewty GT400 will only have 5-megapixel camera, though it should be enough to take somewhat high-quality photos. This is also said to have 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen display and probably 720p video capture capabilities. Based on the photo, this GT400 seems…

Back during the CES 2010, Samsung has announced its partnership with Technicolor and Dreamwork Studios to come up with a series of 3D HDTVs. Well now, it looks like they’re as well planning to bring the same technology in a cellular phone as leaked information about a certain Samsung SCH-W960 has surfaced.

This Samsung SCH-W960 will have 3.3-inch WQVGA 3D AMOLED touchscreen display, so just imagine how innovative and modern the screen of this device is. Other features are also said to include 3-megapixel camera with Xenon flash, DNSe 2.0 capability, DivX support, and dual DMB, operating on both satellite and terrestrial transmissions. It is also said that this device will…

It seems like Nokia loves their Nokia N97 Mini so much that they are doing another limited edition of the smartphone once more after having the RAOUL last year and the Gold edition just last month. This time though, they are collaborating with Oakley to produce 200 limited edition Nokia N97 Mini handsets.

Well if you want this device but you’re not part of those Oakley-sponsored Winter Olympians, I guess the only option to get this is through eBay (if ever there’s someone who would want to sell their limited edition device) since this will only be given to those athletes.

What makes this different as with the original N97 Mini and…

The LG Cookie Fresh GS290 is not the only LG handset that has been displayed at the CeBIT 2010 event in Germany. Another unannounced device from the same manufacturer has also been spotted and it is named as the LG GM360 Bali. We’re not sure what’s with the name, though it reminds us of the Bali Island in Indonesia.

Anyway, this LG GM360 Bali looks a lot like the LG GT505, which was exclusively released by Orange UK sometime back in June 2009. Unlike the GT505 though, it is said that this GM360 will not have 3G or GPS; and its other features are believed to include 240 x 400 pixels…

We’ve known Blackberry for its usual form factor complete with a QWERTY keyboard, which is just the usual form factor for those seeking for business-oriented devices. Well, they’ve as well done a flip device on the Blackberry Pearl 8220, and now, the latest news is they would as well be having a slider phone.

This new Blackberry Slider device still hasn’t got any name yet and a photo of it has only appeared at Blackberry Leaks. If you are to base it on the mobile phone trend though, having a BB slider shouldn’t come as a surprise since touchscreen plus QWERTY keyboard are indeed dominating the mobile world today.

It looks like LG indeed has plans to have its own family of devices, which has become a trend for major mobile phone manufacturers today. Just recently, LG has announced the LG Cookie Plus GS500, which is indeed a successor to the original Cookie released in 2008; and now, LG has put on display the LG Cookie Fresh GS290 during the CeBIT 2010 event in Germany.

Unlike the Cookie Plus though, this LG Cookie Fresh will only be a mid-end feature phone that will cater to teenagers who want a cheaper social-networking device. That said, you should know that this has fewer features as compared to the Cookie Plus. T

We’ve already heard about the Samsung SPH-W9500 back in December of 2009 when it was spotted at a certain Korean shopping site, and now, Samsung has finally launched this device in South Korea as the Samsung SPH-W9500 Clutch.

It is said that this device has such a name since it indeed resembles to clutch bags. Obviously, this is a very feminine phone that seems to resemble the Samsung Diva S7070 with its diamond quilted design on the back, but then again, there’s no word if this is also part of the Diva collection or not. But anyway, unlike the entry-level S7070, this W9500 will come as a mid-end phone.
