BlackBerry Bold 9780 snapped in the wild, again.
Posted on 2010 under BlackBerry OS 6, Bold, Bold 9700, Bold 9780, Coming Soon Handsets, Mobile News, Mobile Phones, New Mobile Phones, blackberry | Comments are offWe reported being caught in the wild, along with a few rumoured specs, well, this time a white version has posed for the camera and brings with it more of the specs list and although still unofficial, ties in with the early rumours.
The new Bold is almost identical to the with the most noticeable changes being under the hood in the way of a camera upgrade to 5 megapixel (3.2 in the current model), double the RAM at 512MB and of course, it’s going to be running OS 6. There’s still no word about when it’ll be announced or if indeed it is even real, but short of official confirmation from BlackBerry themselves, we don’t really think there’s any more proof needed that this is going to be the new Bold. So, keep an eye on the blog for the inevitable release, we suspect this will be around October time, or if you simply can’t wait and want in on the BlackBerry action now, click here to take a look at .

T-Mobile G2 gets Official
Posted on 2010 under Android, Coming Soon Handsets, Desire Z, Mobile Phones, New Mobile Phones, T-Mobile G2, htc | Comments are offOnly but a couple of weeks have passed since we first met the , from themselves as they posted up a teaser site for the G2 with the grab line, ‘The revolution continues’. For those that don’t already know, the T-Mobile G1 was the first handset to grace the market touting the so as you’d be forgiven for expecting something quite special from , the manufacturer that is producing the G2 on behalf of T-Mobile.
When we first reported on the G2, we speculated that it would be a network branded version of the we’ve heard so much about recently, and the official specs revealed would appear to confirm our suspicions. These being a 3.7 inch AMOLED screen, 1GHz SnapDragon Processor, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, 3G HSPA+, Wi-Fi Hotspot capabilities, aGPS, Bluetooth 2.1 + Enhancd data rate.The only spec that doesn’t really tie in with previous rumours of the Desire Z is the HSPA+, which at current would only be applicable to our American cousins and is a feature that will probably be missing if the handset is released as the Desire Z here in the UK.
The official specs were first revealed to cellphonesignal.com, who strangely have reported that the T-Mobile G2 is sporting HTC Sense despite the images clearly showing the G2 to be running vanilla . Perhaps they know something we don’t, or maybe it’s just a typo. We’re hoping it’s the latter. As good as Sense is, the customisation options available to vanilla Android beyond what Sense is capable of, are simply astonishing and if the Desire Z is eventually made official, we only hope that it gets the same treatment although our money would be on it shipping with HTC Sense.
It’s not that we dislike Sense, because we don’t, it is by far the best OEM Skin of just about any operating system except perhaps the super slick iOS 4, although an unfair comparison in reality. That said, if the original was anything to go by then it won’t take long before someone discovers a means to remove HTC Sense, for those that enjoy tinkering with the files that HTC would rather you didn’t. Keep an eye on the blog for more details. (Source: via )
