BlackBerry KickStart clamshell ?

The first ever clamshell from BlackBerry maker RIM, its dubbed the KickStart. The phone really looks great and awesome. With looks matching that of a Nokia N93i and the Panasonic phones mixed together, the phone surely would appeal to the business folk as well who didn’t have options till date to hold a blackberry that looked insane and so sober. But now things are changing. The plain jane look is being over thrown and cooler blackberry s fast approaching. Kudos guys

Sony Ercisson Xperia X1 likely by mid Sep 08

Well its one of the phones in the entire history of mobile phones that has garnered enough rumors and pre release hype like a RajniKant movie. First it was slated to have windows 6.1 then they said no. they finally it was confirmed that it will be the first mobile device to carry windows 6.1. Then several rumors about its release date. While brushing aside all of them is another rumor (hopefully not). A press hand out from handango.com says that the xperia is likely to be launched in mid Sep’08.

Well that’s pretty justified to wait for such a device that’s got everything from a whopping 3” inch screen awesome touch screen gps wifi Bluetooth a2dp etc..

Well here is hoping it’s not a rumor this time at least.

3G iPhone + WiMAX

Last week, Craig Mathias wrote a piece on 802.21, a convergence standard promoted by the likes of InterDigital (IDCC) and Intel (INTC). The people at 9to5 Mac immediately saw the iPhone connection, and hatched what I thought was a highly speculative story.
