Filed under: Handsets , Multimedia , Peripherals , O2 , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS , Toshiba After a flurry of leaks and announcements caught our attention last year, we've heard nary a peep from Toshiba about its multi-faceted device since. Suffice to say that's it's out in parts of Europe and countries with a penchant for the backward "R" and "N." Great, but what is it and how well does it do what it does; that's the convoluted question. Fortunately, IntoMobile went hands on with the USB memory stick / alarm clock with snooze / MP3 player / 7.2Mbps HSDPA USB modem / tri-band GSM cellphone and came away with the opinion that "the device is excellent." It pulled a respectable 2.7Mbps off O2's UK network and performed reasonably well as a "backup phone." The 160MB of storage for MP3 / AAC music playback was disappointing but it served its purpose in a pinch. Still, that's a lot of device for £140.

Filed under: Handsets , LG , ATT , Windows Mobile , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS LG and AT&T have done a pretty commendable job of keeping leaks about their glossy new WinMo set to a bare minimum, but you can only keep a phone this ritzy under wraps for so long, right? Word on the street is that AT&T stores will be ordering the LG Incite as of this Thursday, filling a gap in the lineup between the Vu and the Eternity -- full touchscreen dumbphones -- and the Fuze , the hot new QWERTY smartphone of the range. If the rumored specs hold up, we're looking at a WQVGA display, 3-megapixel cam, 3.6Mbps HSDPA, and Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional. Any would-be Fuze buyers second-guessing themselves now?

Filed under: Handsets , RIM , Vodafone , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS Just how badly do you want a Storm ? Badly enough to pull up your long-established roots, fly for half a day, and take residence in a foreign land thousands of miles from home? For Americans who absolutely cannot wait another week for RIM's first touchscreen device to launch on domestic soil, that's the only option; for Brits on Vodafone, though, heaven is but a single shop trip away. The BlackBerry Storm has now officially launched in the Old Country and can be had for as little as zilch on a Voda plan, so do let us know how your experiences go, yeah? Your yankee friends thank you in advance.

Filed under: Handsets , Samsung , ATT , GSM , EDGE , HSDPA , UMTS The TouchWiz onslaught is now officially in full force, with Samsung's SGH-a867 Eternity now starting to find its way into AT&T stores across the lands to match its Behold and Delve cousins. It's running $149.99 on contract after rebate, bringing MediaFLO , a full-face touchscreen, HSDPA, 3-megapixel cam, AT&T Navigator, and pretty much everything else you could hope for out of a high-end non-smartphone, so if the 6650 isn't pushing your buttons (nor the Vu ), maybe this'll do something for ya. Samsung a867 Eternity now in AT&T stores, ready to take you to the great beyond originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:52:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds .

Filed under: Handsets , Nokia , Symbian , GSM , EDGE , UMTS The E63 just broke the shackles of the rumor monger to become Nokia's latest messaging device. With a pre-tax, pre-subsidy price of just €199, Nokia hopes to see the Symbian S60 device generate some mass-market appeal. So let's see: WiFi, physical QWERTY, choice of ruby red or aquamarine blue, standard 3.5-mm audio jack, camera with video recording, and the ability to switch from an E-series business mode (corporate email, appointments, intranet) to personal mode (pictures, personal email, and browser shortcuts) with a single key press -- sounds like a winning combination to us. Nokia's even tossing in 1GB of Ovi file storage for free when the E63 begins shipping in the coming weeks -- where, is Nokia's little secret for now. We'll update you with the hard details just as soon as Nokia releases them. Until then, check the blue version after the break. Update : We were able to hack forth the following detail from the bowels of Nokia's website: 113 x 59 x 13-mm / 126g, 320 x 240 pixel display, quad-band GSM / EDGE with 660 minute talk / 432 hours standby, microSD memory slot with 110MB internal memory, 2 megapixel camera capable of QVGA video @ 15fps, and of course, Bluetooth. Sorry, no HSDPA data or infrared like that found on the E71.
