Nokia N97 mini

It’s good to see Nokia finally making true world phones. By this I mean a single device that sings on both 900/2100MHz and 850/1900 MHz, used in Europe/Asia and North America, respectively. On that note, the Nokia N97 mini has been spotted at the FCC with a quad-band 3G radio, meaning you’ll be able to use it both in the U.S. and Europe, which is cool. You know rest of the mini’s specs, so I won’t repeat them here. I’ll only add that I’m hoping this will be the Finnish giant’s practice for all high-end devices in the future. No one wants to have a special phone when travelling, right?

BlackBerry Storm

Earlier this afternoon my bud Artem over at ToneConcept let me know about a new theme he’s put out. It’s setup for the BlackBerry Storm 95xx, and it looks kinda cool… thought I’d share it with you all! Called ‘Sticky Notes’, the concept behind it is quite self-explanitory. Artem also made sure to tell me this theme runs ’super fast’, with no memory leaks as a lot of other themes out there seem to have.

Samsung Trill r520 and Caliber r850

US Cellular will be adding two new Samsung phones in the near future – Trill r520 and Caliber r850.

The first of the two, Trill r520, is a music-centric device, priding itself with Bang & Olufsen’s ICEpower signal processing, 1GB on internal memory, and a microSD memory card slot. The other device, Caliber r850, comes in the ever popular all-touchscreen form factor, sporting 3.2-inch WQVGA display, Samsung’s TouchWiz UI, 3-megapixel camera, full HTML browser…

And that’s about all we have at this stage. Exact release date and pricing are unknown at this stage, but we’ll certainly post more as soon as we hear something new…
