First up this morning is the beta release of Opera Mobile 10 for S60 devices. Sporting the same user interface as the recently updated Opera Mini, Opera Mobile provides an alternative browser to that built into the majority of handsets, and first impressions on the beta are good. Highlights include an easy to navigate tabbed browsing experience, a number of thumbnails cropping up to aid navigation, and a lot of performance tweaks
Next we saw the Bold 9700 pop up on Roger’s website. The device is priced at $299.99 on a 3-year contract or $599.99 straight up. If you have been waiting to replace your aging Bold the time is now so get to upgrading and enjoy being the first to chat it up on BBM in your messaging group.
If your Lamborghini is sitting outside your house right now and you feel the need to have an equally elite handset, Tag Heuer has the Italian sport car mobile of your dreams. The manufacturer has used the Lamborghini to create the limited-edition phone, which flashes fancy dual LCD displays made from 60.5 carats of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. In tribute to the year Automobile Lamborghini was founded, 1,963 of the quad-band Bluetooth phones will be sold worldwide.
Sprint has once again failed to provide an accurate device description thanks to their latest Palm Pixi advertisement which claims the device to be WiFi capable. On the plus side at $99.99 you could always spend an extra $50 and take home the Palm Pre to get your WiFi fix.
Yesterday two Android devices launched, the Samsung Moment and the Motorola CLIQ. The Moment for Sprint is the answer to all the Sprint users who have complained about the on-screen keyboard for the HTC Hero and want a chance at a 800MHz processor. Meanwhile the Motorola CLIQ is now available for public consumption after being on pre-order for existing T-mobile customers for the past 2 weeks. No word yet on when either device will be upgraded to Android 2.0 Eclair.
Last this morning is more Android news from T-mobile. The Samsung Behold II has finally been photographed and unboxed by the infamous Tmonews. We’ve put in our request to get our review unit but it looks like they’ve beat us to the punch. In any event we are happy the device has finally received the camera time it deserves, we just hope the rumored $249.99 street price drops before it goes on sale this Holiday season.
