In layman's terms, that means you can have a fully jailbroken phone running 2.0.1 (and soon 2.0.2, we'd imagine) without the mild discomfort of having to restore your precious sidearm from scratch. The tool's still being developed and is currently only available on Windows, though the team is quick to point out that because QuickPwn operates only on the iPhone's app processor, any screw-ups should be totally undoable. Be that as it may, you know the drill: keep your gloves up, protect yourselves at all times, and let's have a clean fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Via &lt;a href="http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2008/08/18/quickpwn-pwns-iphone-pwnage/"&gt;Boy Genius Report&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href=http://blog.iphone-dev.org/post/46350708/my-little-pwnie-quickpwn&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/quickpwn-jailbreaks-iphone-without-restore-pain/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1288290/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/quickpwn-jailbreaks-iphone-without-restore-pain/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

Hopes were high that 2.0.2 would decisively crush the &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/17/poll-hows-your-iphone-3g-reception/"&gt;reception woes&lt;/a&gt; some iPhone 3G owners have experienced since taking delivery of their &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/10/our-iphone-3g-cracked-too-what-gives-apple/"&gt;cracking beauties&lt;/a&gt;; dropped calls, latching onto EDGE reception when 3G (also known as "the good stuff") is available, and general signal strength wonkiness have all plagued a select group of handsets since launch, making for a decidedly &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/04/mobileme-gets-new-leadership-jobs-admits-apple-made-a-big-mista/"&gt;MobileMe-like&lt;/a&gt; user experience. Some upgraders are actually reporting just the opposite, though -- for these lucky few, 2.0.2 seems to be making reception somehow &lt;em&gt;worse&lt;/em&gt; than it already was, and what's more, there are intermittent reports cropping up of broken third-party apps, too. With the 1.x line of builds having chugged along with relatively little drama for a year, here's our question: what the hell is going on? Why does 2.0, after two post-launch builds, still feel like a beta? MobileMe took the lion's share of the fall for Apple having spread itself too thin through the launch-heavy summer months, but did some of that fire-drill mentality trickle over to the breadwinner, too? Sound off in comments with your experiences putting 2.0.2 through its paces so far!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Via &lt;a href="http://mobilitysite.com/2008/08/iphone-202-time-to-fire-mine-back-up/"&gt;Mobility Site&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Update:&lt;/strong&gt; Apparently Steve Jobs, who should have his face buried in a developer workstation somewhere in Cupertino slaving away on iPhone bug fixes, somehow found the time to slack off for half an hour and &lt;a href="http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/08/08/19/steve_jobs_vows_iphone_app_crash_fix_for_september.html"&gt;fire off an email&lt;/a&gt; to some guy who wrote him complaining about third-party apps that are crashing on startup. Jobs allegedly says that the issue is a "known iPhone bug" and that it'll be fixed in the next update come September -- but frankly, we wish he'd let his assistants attend to this sort of needless communication so he could get back to, you know, writing code and &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/30/the-iphone-patent-steven-p-jobs-inventor/"&gt;inventing phones&lt;/a&gt;.

That's a pretty aggressive target for a smartphone manufacturer -- competitors like Nokia and Samsung crank out millions of low-end dumbphones every quarter, and while there's no denying the appeal of devices like the &lt;a href="http://engadget.com/tag/touchdiamond"&gt;Touch Diamond&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://engadget.com/tag/touchpro"&gt;Touch Pro&lt;/a&gt;, it's going to be hard to match those numbers.

The &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/N85/"&gt;N85&lt;/a&gt; at retail in October? Yeah, sounds totally believable, especially considering that an October release would give the populace enough time to wrangle one for the holidays, the fact that Nokia's known to be &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/13/nokia-promises-to-spill-details-on-two-new-handsets-next-week/"&gt;revealing two hotties this month&lt;/a&gt;, and that the date comes from none other than Mobile-review's scoop-tastic Eldar Murtazin. A graphic scored by Murtazin has the N85 and the &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/nokias-8800-carbon-arte-takes-luxury-to-the-moon/"&gt;just-announced Carbon Arte variant&lt;/a&gt; of the 8800 series both slated for grand entrances in the tenth month of the year. One, we stand a fighting chance of affording; the other, just like the &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/11/13/nokias-8800-arte-and-sapphire-arte-for-the-nouveau-riche/"&gt;Artes of old&lt;/a&gt;, probably not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Via &lt;a href="http://www.gsmhelpdesk.nl/en/read-rss.php?id=3098"&gt;Mobile Phone Helpdesk&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href=http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Feldarmurtazin.livejournal.com%2F&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/nokia-n85-8800-carbon-arte-slated-for-october-release/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1288260/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/nokia-n85-8800-carbon-arte-slated-for-october-release/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

It won't be the first launch in North America -- those honors go to &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/06/htc-touch-diamond-headed-to-telus-on-august-14th/"&gt;Telus&lt;/a&gt; at this point -- but Sprint won't be far behind. A pretty believable new slide deck suggests that big ol' Number Three will take delivery of its &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/touchdiamond"&gt;Touch Diamonds&lt;/a&gt; in September and start hawking them for the princely sum of $299.99 on contract after rebates, netting customers a 3.2 megapixel cam, 4GB of internal storage, and EV-DO Rev. A, among all the other spoils that only Windows Mobile 6.1 can offer. Is the back end of it &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/15/sprint-readying-a-red-htc-touch-diamond/"&gt;red&lt;/a&gt;? Can't really tell from this angle, but if the goal is to offer up a high-end business tool, we've gotta believe black will be available either way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Thanks, anonymous tipster]&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1289024/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/htc-touch-diamond-launching-on-sprint-in-september-for-299-99/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

The follow-on to Motorola's sporty and moderately popular (for a stereo bluetooth headset, anyway) &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/S9/"&gt;S9&lt;/a&gt; may not have launched yet -- a disappointment, considering the original plan for a Q2 release when it was &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/01/07/motorola-sets-ears-on-fire-with-s9-hd-bluetooth-stereo-headset/"&gt;announced at CES&lt;/a&gt; -- but perhaps a little last-minute paint job was the reason for the delay. We've now spotted the S9-HD in a bright white getup with blue accents, a far cry from the black of the model shown at CES (and presumably still slated for launch) or the red of the original, but let's not kid ourselves: this one has a way better chance of finding its way into an ear canal or two. Hopefully we'll see it within a few weeks -- just in time for a successor to be launched at CES 2009, no doubt.&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/motorolas-s9-hd-looks-white-as-a-sheet/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1288283/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/motorolas-s9-hd-looks-white-as-a-sheet/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

Well, it looks like that long, painful wait is finally over. According to all kinds of tipsters, the BlackBerry &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Bold/"&gt;Bold&lt;/a&gt; touches down for the first time in North America (in its home country of Canada, obviously) come August 21st (that's this Thursday, in case you don't own a calendar, computer, or have any friends). That's right -- the Bold will land on Rogers (where else?) with a price tag set somewhere between the dark valley of $300 and $400, according to Research In Motion co-CEO Jim Balsillie. Reports say the phone will be available from other carriers by the end of the week, though we don't have any definitive rumblings that confirm such heavenly ideas. You'll know more when we do, of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href=http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080818/tc_nm/rim_bold_rogers_dc&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-bold-hits-rogers-on-august-21st-so-get-your-thumbs-w/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1289028/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-bold-hits-rogers-on-august-21st-so-get-your-thumbs-w/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;div align="left"&gt;KDDI's &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=au+design&amp;amp;searchsubmit="&gt;au design project&lt;/a&gt; has churned out plenty of interesting cellphone concepts over the years, and it looks like its latest batch is no exception, with it enlisting the help of Yamaha to develop some cellphones that double as musical instruments. That includes the self-explanatory "Strings for fingers" and "Sticks in the air" concepts pictured above, as well as the "Box to play" synth / scratch pad combo, the "Key to touch" foldable keyboard, the "Trio in your hand" scratch pad / sampler, and the "Band in my pocket" device, which accommodates a number of accessories to create instruments ranging from a harmonica to a trumpet. What's more, unlike some concept devices, KDDI actually had some working prototypes to show off, which you can check out in action in the video after the break (be sure to dig into the links below for some more pics and videos as well).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Via &lt;a href="http://www.textually.org/textually/archives/2008/08/020948.htm"&gt;textually.org&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.kilian-nakamura.com/blog-english/index.php/au-design-project-x-yamaha-merges-music-with-mobile-in-new-ways/"&gt;Trends in Japan&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It seems that &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/video-android-sdk-v0-9-hits-the-internet-looking-almost-ready-f/"&gt;yesterday's 0.9 release&lt;/a&gt;, which represented the first official SDK available with a platform even remotely resembling what Google intends to release on retail devices this fall, was just the first in a string of goings-on leading up to the grand 1.0 launch in the coming months according to a new roadmap published on the Android site. To start, there'll be "additional Android 1.0 (pre) SDK releases made available, as necessary" in September, followed by the first 1.0-compatible release in the Q3 to Q4 timeframe (that's any time between now and the end of December, for you calendar-disadvantaged folk). Finally, the Android source will leak out in the fourth quarter along with the &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/dream"&gt;first "Android 1.0 devices"&lt;/a&gt; -- pay special attention to the plural "devices" there -- and an announcement about &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/05/18/google-unveils-android-developer-challenge-finalists/"&gt;Android Developer Challenge&lt;/a&gt; II. It gives us a warm fuzzy to see that Google's interested in keeping its devs engaged with these contests on an ongoing basis, because let's be honest: "prize money" has a much nicer ring to it than &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/02/whrrl-first-app-to-get-ifund-cash-infusion/"&gt;"VC money"&lt;/a&gt; ever will.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Via &lt;a href="http://www.talkandroid.com/146-android-roadmap/"&gt;Talk Android&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href=http://code.google.com/android/roadmap.html&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/google-lays-out-android-roadmap-devs-scheduled-to-get-more-love/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1288751/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/google-lays-out-android-roadmap-devs-scheduled-to-get-more-love/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

Now that the &lt;a href="http://engadget.com/tag/treopro"&gt;Treo Pro&lt;/a&gt;'s been uncovered, the sleek black handset just can't stay &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/16/more-treo-pro-details-emerge/"&gt;out of the spotlight&lt;/a&gt; -- it's popped up today in several more high-res shots, a quick hands-on video, and even what looks like official press photography. Specs are still up in the air -- we're hearing there's a 400MHz processor and 128MB of RAM behind that 320 x 320 screen and original Xbox-looking exterior, but we won't know for sure until this thing gets official, which we're guessing will happen within the week.

Okay, pretend you had absolutely no inclination that this so-called &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/07/30/video-blackberry-kickstart-8220-flip/"&gt;KickStart&lt;/a&gt; was real. Surprise! E-tailer &lt;em&gt;expansys&lt;/em&gt; has spoiled RIM's thunder (no silly, not that &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/09/blackberry-thunder-getting-october-13-date-with-destiny-on-veriz/"&gt;Thunder&lt;/a&gt;) by posting up detailed product pages for both the BlackBerry 8220 (WiFi) and BlackBerry 8210 (GPS). The current specs list points out a 2.6-inch 320 x 240 primary display, 160 x 128 pixel secondary display, 2-megapixel camera (with LED flash), video recording and a microSDHC slot. There's no price or release date listed for either, but at least you can shelve those worries of this thing never making it to market.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Via &lt;a href="http://cellpassion.mobi/2008/08/19/expansys-outs-blackberry-8220-before-rim.aspx"&gt;Cellpassion&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=172006"&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt; - BlackBerry 8220&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=172009"&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt; - BlackBerry 8210&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1288483/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/blackberry-8220-8210-kickstart-outed-but-not-by-rim/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

Yeah, granted, mobile processors have been intentionally throttled for years in the interest of keeping battery times reasonable -- so we're always delighted to hear when someone's doing something to boost speeds in different, creative ways. That's where flash memory giant Samsung comes into play, rolling out new file systems and drivers for its OneNAND, Flex-OneNAND, and moviNAND storage solutions (none of which are pictured to the right) that it claims will slap a turbocharger on boot and access times. The new software is available for basically every major mobile operating system, and Sammy even claims that it'll decrease engineering times, so it looks like it's a win all the way around.&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.physorg.com/news137855949.html&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/samsung-makes-mobile-memory-go-zoom-with-new-software/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1286974/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/samsung-makes-mobile-memory-go-zoom-with-new-software/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

Besides the RAZR, few handsets have milked longevity like Nokia's &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/8800"&gt;8800&lt;/a&gt; slider -- first introduced in &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/07/the-nokia-8800-fashionphone/"&gt;April 2005&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/15/nokias-new-8000-series-handset/"&gt;spied in March&lt;/a&gt;). Unlike RAZR, however, the 8800 somehow manages not to annoy... too much. The latest Carbon Arte model brings 3G, a 3.2 megapixel camera, 4GB of flash memory, and OLED display with anti-fingerprint coating. Fine, but it's the rocket-esque carbon fiber, titanium, and stainless steel materials that help push the price tag to &amp;euro;1,100 (that's about $1,600) &lt;em&gt;before&lt;/em&gt; taxes and of course, carrier subsidies. Expected to brazenly appear in the smoking dens of Europe's finest gentlemens' clubs sometime in Q3.&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href=http://press.nokia.com/PR/200808/1244415_5.html&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/nokias-8800-carbon-arte-takes-luxury-to-the-moon/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1288323/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/19/nokias-8800-carbon-arte-takes-luxury-to-the-moon/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

Hmm, Hov, you may want to check the fine print on whatever deal you've got with Moto, because these Jay-Z-branded MOTOROKR S7-HD Bluetooth headset aren't exactly big pimpin' -- and compared to &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/22/dr-dres-beats-headphones-keep-they-heads-ringin-for-350/"&gt;Dre's big ol' cans&lt;/a&gt;, they look downright sad.

Just as wallets leave impressions in rear pockets, cellphones can do the same for pockets in the front. One Aram Bartholl has decided to start a collection of battle-tested jeans that "show traces of mobile tech development in society." We've no idea if he's planning to tackle the whole thing on his own, but we'd suggest buying up old pants from around the globe in order to amass a sizable collection &lt;strike&gt;before death&lt;/strike&gt; sooner. The image you see above shows what happens if you walk around for three solid years pocketing an &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2004/04/28/nokia-6600-arrives-in-the-us-t-mobile/"&gt;original Nokia 6600&lt;/a&gt;.

The happy part? Hey, at least they're in the black, and we're sure they'd rather break even than hemorrhage cash the way virtually all of their &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/category/mvnos"&gt;MVNO&lt;/a&gt; brethren have. At any rate, the company thinks that it'll turn things around heading into '09 with the addition of Helio to its portfolio, which it confirms will be leveraged to offer "new data services and feature-rich handsets" -- both concepts that bare-bones Virgin isn't accustomed to offering in the States. The &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/Ocean2/"&gt;Ocean 2&lt;/a&gt; would be a nice way to kick off that plan, would it not?&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href=http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/080813/nyw094.html?.v=101&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/virgin-mobile-usa-profit-arpu-down/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1287162/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/virgin-mobile-usa-profit-arpu-down/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

It's an interesting day for the folks at Google. Not only do we see the supposed GPhone (AKA, the &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/HTCDream/"&gt;HTC Dream&lt;/a&gt;) get &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/"&gt;trotted out to the FCC&lt;/a&gt;, and hear &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/analyst-says-first-android-phone-will-ship-in-november-possibly/"&gt;new rumors&lt;/a&gt; about the device's release date, but now there's a brand-spanking-new release of the &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/Android/"&gt;Android&lt;/a&gt; SDK available. The version? 0.9 -- a number which puts this dangerously close to a number that most would consider non-beta. Meanwhile, the new version of the mobile OS has been significantly changed, adding a new widgetified (big old clock: present!) and flickable homescreen, a handy (and speedy) tab to pull up your apps, plus a media player, camera, and handful of other noticeable design tweaks.

Check out the sync contacts option. Sweet! Also, you may note that it asks you to "open keyboard to compose message" in the SMS screen -- almost like it's made for a device with a &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/htc-dream-or-just-some-reference-design-shown-off-on-video/"&gt;slide-out keyboard&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/video-android-sdk-v0-9-hits-the-internet-looking-almost-ready-f/" rel="bookmark"&gt;Continue reading &lt;em&gt;Video: Android SDK v0.9 hits the internet looking almost ready for primetime&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href=http://code.google.com/android/documentation.html&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/video-android-sdk-v0-9-hits-the-internet-looking-almost-ready-f/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1287952/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/video-android-sdk-v0-9-hits-the-internet-looking-almost-ready-f/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;div align="left"&gt;There's certainly no shortage of folks working to incorporate solar cells into &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=solar+jacket&amp;amp;searchsubmit="&gt;clothing&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/search/?q=solar+bag&amp;amp;searchsubmit="&gt;accessories&lt;/a&gt;, but a team of researchers from Iowa State University now look to have devised a way to make the wearable technology &lt;em&gt;slightly&lt;/em&gt; more discreet, with them using digital textile printing to print fabric that matches the pattern of the solar cells. The solar cells themselves are then attached using a "liquid stitch" method, although that apparently presented its own set of problems, as the application of the cells made it difficult to tie a knot. As the researchers helpfully point out in thier paper, however, a clip-on tie would solve that problem. Combine that with the special pouch for carrying your cellphone, and you've got a combo that can't be beat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Via &lt;a href="http://www.textually.org/textually/archives/2008/08/020945.htm"&gt;textually.org&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt;

When (and if) Verizon closes its deal to &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/05/verizon-gets-official-with-28-billion-alltel-acquisition/"&gt;snap up Alltel&lt;/a&gt;, the carrier's Little Rock campus will suddenly lose its status as a corporate headquarters. Instead, it'll see duty as a regional outpost of the Big Red behemoth, according to Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam -- and regional outposts don't exactly need the 3,000 employees currently employed there. Though it's not clear exactly how many jobs will be trimmed, rumor has it executives and mid-level managers will be the first to get the boot; the silver lining in the news is that McAdam says Verizon's going to try to find jobs for some of the affected folks elsewhere within the corporate footprint if they're not needed in Little Rock.

No longer does Windows Mobile alone a capable smartphone make. The platform's core is as relevant, powerful, and well-supported as ever, but that's not the problem -- the real issue is that it's just plain hard to look at. The days of WinMo looking even remotely modern in its stock form are long gone, and top-tier manufacturers clearly recognize that; everyone from &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/05/asus-showcases-glide-ui-for-windows-mobile/"&gt;ASUS&lt;/a&gt; to &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/touchflo"&gt;HTC&lt;/a&gt; has taken matters into their own hands to craft custom skins that kill off as many of the ancient visuals as possible while still holding onto everything that makes Windows Mobile great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enter the &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/omnia"&gt;Samsung i900 Omnia&lt;/a&gt;, a phone that submits to design direction forced upon the industry largely by the &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/iPhone/"&gt;iPhone&lt;/a&gt; -- full touchscreen, no keyboard, you know the drill by now -- and does pretty much everything in its power to overcome WinMo's limitations to make it competitive in the year 2008.

&lt;div align="left"&gt;The HTC Dream may have already &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/"&gt;cleared the FCC&lt;/a&gt;, but at least one analyst that has actually seen the very first &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/android"&gt;Android&lt;/a&gt;-based device, Moe Tanabian of IBB Consulting, says that it will only be hitting stores around Thanksgiving in November, and not September or October as many &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/"&gt;were expecting&lt;/a&gt;. He also says that its "unclear" whether the phone will support Microsoft Exchange or not (at least right out of the gate), and that users may have to rely on Gmail if they want to receive push email. Among other tidbits, he also confirms that the device will have access to T-Mobile's own &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/13/t-mobile-to-open-content-deck-with-simple-revenue-share-model/"&gt;App Store-like service&lt;/a&gt;, and that it'll come with Google's advertising software pre-installed, which he says could not only lower the cost of the phone, but allow for lower monthly service fees as well. Of course, you'll have to take that with all the usual analyst caveats for the time being, but we're sure we'll be hearing plenty more to back it up or shoot it down before the September / October / November launch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[Via &lt;a href="http://www.electronista.com/articles/08/08/18/android.lacks.exchange/"&gt;Electronista&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/div&gt;

So we're still not totally certain whether the &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/voyagerrefresh"&gt;Voyager Refresh&lt;/a&gt; is the &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/voyager"&gt;Voyager's&lt;/a&gt; new firmware with visual voicemail support or whether it's actually this, a titanium-accented version of the original phone -- but either way, we think it's a good thing. Look for this one to be available this Tuesday via phone or web for the same price as the current model, while anyone hoping to meander into a Verizon store and pick one up might be waiting a while longer.&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/titanium-lg-voyager-rears-its-big-shiny-head/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1286983/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/titanium-lg-voyager-rears-its-big-shiny-head/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

Sanyo handsets are like cats: you either love them or you just really, really loathe them with every fiber of your being. Sprint and Sanyo both seem to be pretty okay with that; clearly, not every phone in Sprint's lineup is going to be for everyone, and the &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/KatanaEclipse/"&gt;Katana Eclipse&lt;/a&gt; is no different. Sanyo fanatic or not, though, our gripe list added up pretty quickly with this one, so would-be buyers might want to put it through a good workout in store before taking the plunge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The phone's hinge design causes the upper half of the phone to rest behind the bottom half; that is, the intersection of the planes containing the two halves is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; the center of the hinge (think MacBook, for example). We thought that felt a little weird against our face and made it more difficult to get a good seal between the earpiece and our ear. Also, the front of the phone -- arguably the most attractive of any Katana to date -- isn't the most user-friendly. The tiny external display was difficult to read even in a moderate amount of shade, and the music controls are nearly flush with the shell which makes actuating them trickier than it should be. Speaking of displays, the primary one is pretty small, leaving a huge gray bezel with no function whatsoever (don't be fooled by the white dots at the bottom, they serve no function other than to make you think that they're touch-sensitive soft buttons, which they're not).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not all doom and gloom, though. The dedicated speaker key is a nifty parlor trick, you've got a 1.3 megapixel cam in there, and it does stereo Bluetooth. Plus, it's a Sanyo, and we know that for a few of you out there, that's all that matters. For &lt;em&gt;you&lt;/em&gt; guys, you'll be able to pick up the Katana Eclipse immediately for $99.99 with a new two-year contract.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="postgallery"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gallery: &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on/"&gt;Sanyo Katana Eclipse hands-on&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on/983081/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on-00_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on/983101/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on-01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on/983102/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on-02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on/983091/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on-03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on/983088/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on-04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.sprint.com/&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1287146/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/sanyo-katana-eclipse-hands-on/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

We're going to confess a dirty little secret here: when we first started playing with the &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/VE20/"&gt;VE20&lt;/a&gt;, we didn't realize it was being branded and marketed as a RAZR. As we used it, though, it quickly became evident -- no one had to tell us this was a kindred spirit of the &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/tag/V3/"&gt;V3&lt;/a&gt;. For better or worse, the shape of the phone -- everything from the tapered upper edge of the display to the "chin" beneath the keypad -- looks and feels like an obvious evolution. You might call it a stepping stone in between the V3 and the &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/22/motorola-day-verizon-gets-q9m-sprint-gets-v9m/"&gt;V9&lt;/a&gt;, and considering that the V3 gets closer to its last breath on store shelves with each passing day (or so we hope), Moto and Sprint need something to slot in there beneath the mighty RAZR 2.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Call us insane, but for what the VE20 is, we liked it. It doesn't pretend to be a do-all, end-all superphone, nor does it try to wow you with its premium materials; it's just a decent midrange flip with what seems to be excellent build quality. The screen is exceptionally bright, clear, and rich, and the V9-aping secondary touchscreen is a nice touch (pun intended, of course). One area of concern: it froze up on us once, necessitating a restart, and the music app was completely broken in our tester. Our guess is that this'll be resolved in retail units or via a quick firmware update shortly after launch -- at least, it frigging better be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The VE20 is available today for $99.99 on contract after rebates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="postgallery"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gallery: &lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/motorola-motorazr-ve20-hands-on/"&gt;Motorola MOTORAZR VE20 hands-on&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/motorola-motorazr-ve20-hands-on/983037/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/motorola-ve20-hands-on-00_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/motorola-motorazr-ve20-hands-on/983038/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/motorola-ve20-hands-on-01_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/motorola-motorazr-ve20-hands-on/983050/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/motorola-ve20-hands-on-02_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/motorola-motorazr-ve20-hands-on/983065/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/motorola-ve20-hands-on-03_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/photos/motorola-motorazr-ve20-hands-on/983041/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.engadgetmobile.com/media/2008/08/motorola-ve20-hands-on-04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.sprint.com/&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/motorola-motorazr-ve20-hands-on/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1287136/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/motorola-motorazr-ve20-hands-on/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

FCC label with that DREA100 moniker pictured after the break.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Update&lt;/span&gt;: Further investigation reveals mention of a "jogball" like that seen on the handset from &lt;a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/15/t-mobile-to-sell-first-android-phone-in-october/"&gt;the videos&lt;/a&gt;. The Dream is said to be in compliance with Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR with this round of testing conducted only on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/1900 and WCDMA 1700 bands -- the latter being T-Mobile's preferred 3G frequency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://certifications.wi-fi.org/pdf_certificate.php?cid=WFA6452"&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt; -- HTC Dream WiFi Certification [Warning: PDF]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&amp;amp;RequestTimeout=500&amp;amp;calledFromFrame=N&amp;amp;application_id=456608&amp;amp;fcc_id=%27NM8DRM%27"&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt; -- FCC Cell Radios&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/ViewExhibitReport.cfm?mode=Exhibits&amp;amp;RequestTimeout=500&amp;amp;calledFromFrame=N&amp;amp;application_id=128913&amp;amp;fcc_id=%27NM8DRM%27"&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt; -- FCC WiFi Bluetooth&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/" rel="bookmark"&gt;Continue reading &lt;em&gt;HTC Dream FCC approved, Android clear for launch?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1287333/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/htc-dream-fcc-approved-android-clear-for-launch/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry"&gt;Comments&lt;/a&gt;

The ecstatic folks over at &lt;em&gt;Mobile Syrup&lt;/em&gt; were able to snap up Telus' version of the WinMo 6.1-packin' handset, and of course, they put together a video review for us Americans to drool over. The 7:15 clip includes a few comparison angles with other mobiles and a full walk-through of the user interface. Reviewers found the web browsing on Opera Mobile to be a real treat, and of course, they couldn't deny the awesomeness of the 640 x 480 resolution display. You can check the review in full just after the jump, but if you're easily made envious, we'd suggest you not.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/telus-htc-touch-diamond-gets-video-review/" rel="bookmark"&gt;Continue reading &lt;em&gt;Telus' HTC Touch Diamond gets video review&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;a href=http://mobilesyrup.com/2008/08/16/telus-htc-touch-diamond-video-review/&gt;Read&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/telus-htc-touch-diamond-gets-video-review/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry"&gt;Permalink&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/forward/1286978/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email"&gt;Email this&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;|&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/08/18/telus-htc-touch-diamond-gets-video-review/#comments" title="View reader comments on thi
