Apple iPhone Competitors
by James Allan Brady on September 13, 2007

The Samsung F700, now known as the Croix, thanks to a deal with Vodafone is quite the amazing device. It is purported to be targeted as an iPhone competitor, even though the Croix is everything the iPhone isn’t. A great alternative to the iPhone sure, but I don’t know how much of a direct competitor this phone will be. This amazing phone is so great that we don’t even need ...

A few hours ago a video showing what appears to be a Nokia concept phone running an interface decidedly iPhone-like showed up on YouTube; people are already either salivating over it or branding the Finns dreadful copycats. Since I know nothing more than what I can see in the clip I won't pass judgement - it could be a new OS, it could be a fan mockup - but, like ...

When SlashGear tested LG's sexy little Prada cellphone the key frustrations in an otherwise glowing review were the lack of HSDPA and the stilted browser; well, LG seem to have listened and we know that at least half of those issues (the 3G data connection) has been satisfied in their new KU990 handset.

Right now, if you don't want to be tied into an AT&T contract you can unlock your iPhone and use it as a portable WiFi web-browser and video iPod. Although many - myself included - would see that as a terrible waste of some of the handset's much-vaunted convergence, the lure of Mobile Safari and all that video-playing goodness could be enough to swing the hand of some. But what ...

Analysts and telco rivals alike accused them of demanding "corporate welfare", but it looks like Google's request for openness in the new cellular spectrum auction has struck some chords with the FCC. In a surprising move, a majority of the FCC supported a provision for one-third of the newly-available wireless space to be deemed "open access" so that any operator managing it would have to allow any device and software ...
