Another new Blackberry – The Pearl 9100

With the recent release of the new Blackberry Bold 9700 (review coming very soon!) it would appear that RIM have a further device coming soon.

Blackberry Pearl 9100

 

The Pearl 9100 has been featured this week on crackberry.com and this includes a video. Click here to view.

The original Pearl was a popular device and came in both candy bar and a flip design. Its main difference between the traditional Blackberries is that it is smaller and instead of having a full QWERTY keypad it has a 20 key keyboard which I believe they call “Sure Type”. (I’m not a Blackberry expert so I may have got this wrong!)

Anyway, if you a Blackberry Pearl fan I am sure this new version will most defiantly be of interest. As far as I am aware its early days and I don’t think a carrier has been announced in the USA yet so I think it may be a while until we see it here in the UK, but thought I would share it with you anyway.

Good things come to those who wait!

Head over to Crackberry and check it out.

Vodafone 360 unboxing video

Vodafone announced the 360 a while ago and last week we managed to get our hands on one to review. The Vodafone 360 (aka Samsung H1) is the first LinMo or Linux Mobile handset we’ve seen here at tracyandmatt so it’s an interesting learning curve for us!

The 360 is a decent looking handset, I’m personally quite fond of the silver body plus the 3.5″ 800 x 480 pixel AMOLED display is gorgeous!

So over the next few weeks we’ll be writing our review of the Vodafone 360 and we’ll have that online for you soon. As always we have an unboxing video for you below that gives you a brief overview of the handset.

HP announce the iPaq Glisten

Looking for a Smartphone with a forward facing QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen? Until now that was a pretty tall order, I can think of only a couple of other handsets that fit the bill, the JAQ3 Springs to mind, but they are all pretty long in the tooth now. So HP have stepped up to the plate with their new iPAQ Glisten which offers a beautiful 2.5″ AMOLED 320×240 Touchscreen display and full QWERTY keyboard. Also sporting the latest Windows Mobile 6.5 OS sounds like a really cool device, right?

HP-iPaq-Glisten-Smartphone_1

So what’s the catch? Well currently it’s only available in the USA and HP have no plans to bring it to the UK at the moment. Real shame I think as it looks like a lovely handset that certainly would fill a big void in the market.

 

Boost productivity-with your fingertips

  • AMOLED Touch Screen: 2.5" diagonal touch screen not only provides a brilliant viewing experience, it streamlines the way you work.
  • QWERTY Keyboard: With 5-way directional pad, it works just like a PC keyboard, making email & texting fast & easy.

iPhone 3GS Supreme arrives

iphone-3gs-supreme With the iPhone 3G S no longer exclusive to certain carriers and the iPhone 3G plummeting to an all-time low sub-$100 price, what once was considered as the phone for the rich and famous is now as common as the next touchscreen mobile phone.

However, if you still have a love affair with the iPhone and want to truly set yourself apart from the rest of the iPhone-toting crowd, then we’ve got the answer for you – the iPhone 3G S Supreme. This iPhone boasts of 271 grams of 22ct solid gold and the front bezel is adorned with 136 flawless diamonds which amounts to a total of 68 cts. The Apple logo on the back is also in solid gold and further accentuated with the use of 53 flawless diamonds (1ct). The home button, meanwhile, is highlighted with a single cut and very rare 7.1 cts diamond. This very opulent iPhone designed by Stuart Hughes also comes with an extra special packaging. It ships in a 7kg chest made out of a single block of Granite in Kashmir Gold and its inside is lined with Nubuck top grain leather. Interested? The iPhone 3G S Supreme costs $3.2 million which basically means if you’re not earning as much as Manny Pacquiao or Tiger Woods, this iPhone is way out of your league.

Android on the Treo 650

screen

Here’s a bit of fin from Youtube, a Palm Treo 650 running Android. Google has always claimed that Android can run on pretty much anything and here’s proof of that. My fondness for this device is extreme and I would love to be able to breath new life into it. Provided drivers can be made available for it.
