Palm Elan to be the next webOS smartphone, heading to AT&T?

Posted: 07 Mar 2010 01:20 PM PST

Here's a little spicy rumor for you Palm fans on this tranquil Sunday: according to TopTongueBarry who claims to work for AT&T, his company has just finished certification tests with GSM flavors of the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus ahead of a possible April 26th launch -- a date not far from what we've heard earlier. However, the bigger news from Barry is that the big A will soon be testing a third mysterious webOS device by the name of Palm Elan, which may greet us mere mortals on May 10th (but possibly in Europe first). Another forum member Shadow-360 also dug up some cached pages that claimed to have accessories for the non-existent device, as pictured above. Of course, this could be just a crude joke for a keyboard-less Palm device that many of us seem to desire -- as reminded by the good folks at PreCentral, Elan is also the name of the company that sued Apple over multitouch patents last April. So, any thoughts on this leak? Are we all ready for a new webOS phone?

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Update: Turns out the Elan may just be the Pixi. Or it could be your wildest dreams about to come true.

Motorola Backflip now on sale at AT&T

Posted: 07 Mar 2010 09:08 AM PST

Heads-up, kids -- AT&T's first-ever slice of Android is now available. Just let that sink in a minute. Feels good, doesn't it? Motorola's Backflip has gone on sale just as promised, and that debatably awesome Blur action can be yours for $99.99 after mail-in rebate and a 2-year agreement. So, you pulling the trigger, or you are you waiting for whatever Dell and / or HTC are bringing to the party?

[Thanks, mittens]

Motorola i1 – Motorola Opus One iDEN phone

Posted: 06 Mar 2010 08:43 PM PST

The Motorola i1 cell phone will be a nice upgrade on Sprint Nextels line up. The i1 is a iDEN phone with WiFi, Motorola owns the iDEN technology. They created a proprietary tech and network and hold all PTT users hostage. Still waiting to see a Sprint Motorola Android device, but this looks like a good phone for the Nextel/Boost customers.

U.S. Cellular Samsung Freeform SCH-R351 – New U.S. Cellular QWERTY phones

Posted: 06 Mar 2010 07:09 PM PST

The U.S. Cellular Samsung Freeform SCH-R351 cell phone is not a Blackberry, but still a good phone. The Freeform’s QWERTY keypad is a bit small in size, but the keys are raised and easy to press so that’s a bit of a moot point…MP3 player app is outstanding, screen size is great considering the overall size of the device…camera shots are crisp, clear and good in detail.
