Filed under: Handsets , Software , Palm , Sprint , EV-DO , WebOS The dust has begun to settle around Palm's event yesterday, and we're still sorting through all the news. Palm certainly packed a lot of "New-ness" (yet weirdly, no actual "New-ness") into its announcements yesterday, and it's pretty easy to get lost among all the Palm Pre / webOS related news. Lucky for you, we've consolidated the goods below, so feel free to experience all the Palm-related bliss you can handle.

Calling all style conscious tech geeks (a contradiction of terms if ever there was one), the Samsung Armani Night effect went on sale today. The handset features a 2.2? QVGA screen, a 3 megapixel camera, dedicated music controls, 3G, Bluetooth, media player with video recorder, an FM Radio and a 3.5mm audio jack. Got all that? [...]

Filed under: Handsets , RIM , ATT So Boy Genius Report reported on a shot of what seems to be a Curve 8900 running on AT&T -- which seems like a pretty good idea, may we add -- and we're trying to make sense of what's really going on. We hit up RIM's booth at CES to get the lowdown on the situation, and what do you know, the mythical beast is nowhere to be found. The reps on the floor said that it's only for T-Mobile and when we checked every 8900 on the show floor, we couldn't find one running on any other carrier. 'Course, we'd be shocked if RIM wasn't chronically refreshing BGR every fifteen seconds, so it's entirely possible that they saw the news, realized their grave error, and pulled the offending phone posthaste. Either way, it's a great idea, is it not? [Via Boy Genius Report ] Spotted: Curve 8900 running on AT&T originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Fri, 09 Jan 2009 16:36:00 EST.

Filed under: Handsets , Others , China Mobile , Android Look out, China -- Lenovo's all-too-sexy OPhone is about to land in the hands of unsuspecting China Mobile subscribers, or so says Reuters , anyway. The planet's largest mobile carrier will reportedly launch the 3G handset sometime this quarter, though some reports are suggesting that development is being hampered as engineers struggle with creating a Chinese language version of the OS. Once launched, it will go down as the first Android-powered handset to operate on China's home-cooked TD-SCDMA 3G network , but there's no word on just how costly it'll be. Not like cost is really a concern here, right?

Filed under: Handsets , Palm , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS According to the press materials, Palm hadn't intended to announce a timeframe for the 3G GSM version of the Pre this week, but Ed Colligan can pretty much do and say whatever he pleases -- it's one of the perks of wearing the CEO hat -- and he's apparently mentioned in an interview with IDG that it'll roll out in the first half of 2009. That puts the model right in line with the launch window for the CDMA-based Sprint version, giving the carrier virtually zero exclusivity on the global stage -- so if 1337 h4x0rz can figure out how to unlock the thing (and if we were betting folk, we'd wager they can), this all means EDGE-only Pres could end up on AT&T and T-Mobile USA lickety-split. Even if that means losing the European 3G guts, you know you'd buy it. Come on now, don't lie to yourself.

Filed under: Handsets , Features , Motorola , T-Mobile , GSM We hear this thing is made out of water bottles... and lameness. We totally applaud Moto's efforts in recycling stuff, reducing excess packaging, and offsetting carbon footprints, but couldn't the first phone to enjoy that initiative be just a little cooler? The W233 Renew really has nothing of consequence in its spec sheet, leaving the green shell (get it? green for environmental friendliness?) to do the talking. We'll personally pass, but let us know when you're making a treehugger SURF , k, Moto?
