Meizu’s iPhone copycatting M8 cellphone is to be vaporware no longer thanks to GeekITstores, who will be launching it in China then India from December onwards. The 8GB model is apparently due to cost somewhere between $380 and $470, and will be launched with “complete fanfare”…presumably because it’s the “iPhone killer,” or so says the [...]

BoyGeniusReports has got hold of some imagery and specs for an upcoming LG slider phone, the Xenon. It’s a side-slider with QWERTY keypad, quad-band GSM and UMTS/HSPDA. It’s only got a 3-megapixel cam, so it’s no Viewty or KC910 but it does pack in AGPS, an accelerometer and proximity detector.
• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE • Dual-band UMTS/HSDPA [...]

The latest on RIM’s blocky clamshell monstrosity, the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, is that it’ll be out by the end of this month at the latest, and maybe as early as Oct. 15.

I have to hand it to the guys at Motorola for coming up with the idea to integrate a femtocell and a VoIP soft phone into a digital photo frame. Femtocells help cover weak spots in a cellular network by sending calls over the internet—which is a good idea except that it would involve yet [...]
