BlackBerry, meet TD-SCDMA: RIM partners with China Mobile

Enterprising Chinese have had access to BlackBerrys for some time now , but they’ve been met with limited sales for many of the same reasons that internationally successful products often fail in China: high prices, cheap clones, and a general lack of understanding of the local market’s needs and behaviors. RIM, like any smart manufacturer, would love to find a way to effectively tap into the market, though — and they’re trying to make headway today on news that they’ve partnered with number one carrier China Mobile on customized devices.

Sciphone’s Android-toting N21 unboxed, dual SIM slots caught rockin’ the suburbs

Filed under: Handsets , Others It may look a lot like the General Mobile DSTL1 , but SciPhone’s N21 still has its very own soul. Our BFFs over at Engadget Chinese were able to wrangle one in, and naturally they took the opportunity to score a photo shoot and host it for the world to see. There aren’t too many surprises to be found, but if you’re looking for a pinch of KIRF , twin SIM slots, a 5 megapixel camera and the not-exactly-newest version of Google’s mobile operating system, you know where to look.

Acer Liquid handled, evaluated, ‘not too shabby’

Filed under: Handsets , Android , Acer Looks like quite a few folks have got their hands on the Acer Liquid as of late, and lucky for us they’ve been rather loose-lipped with their thoughts on the subject. As suspected , the handset is running a 1GHz Snapdragon that’s been under-clocked to 768MHz

Samsung unleashes WinMo 6.5 upgrade for AT&T’s Jack

Filed under: Software , Samsung , ATT , Windows Mobile It’s not often that a manufacturer pushes a Windows Mobile version bump in a timely fashion, so color us impressed to see that Samsung has now released an official 6.5 upgrade for the Jack on AT&T. 6.5 is a relatively minor bump over 6.1 in the non-touch Standard world — Professional devices are getting the lion’s share of improvements — but users will be happy to find that they’re getting an updated Internet Explorer Mobile, Windows Marketplace access, and automated free connections to AT&T WiFi hotspots (anything to offload cellular strain, right?)

Dell Mini 3iX has WiFi, 3G, and a number of leaked UI photos

Filed under: Handsets , Others , Android You know what’s ridiculous? Modern smartphones without WiFi (why hello there, Pixi and Tour ). Looks like Dell’s getting the message with the supposed Brazil-bound Mini 3iX, which as far as we can tell is the Mini 3i as it should’ve been — same specs, plus WiFi and 3G connectivity.

Verizon’s Chocolate Touch is a dead ringer for the LG SB210

Filed under: Handsets , LG , Verizon Wireless If you want to know what Verizon’s upcoming Chocolate Touch will look like, look no further than this little number, the SB210, that’s just been unveiled for LG’s domestic South Korean market. Naturally we can expect that the firmware will be a good deal different, but the hardware looks exactly like the spy shots we’ve seen so far of the next Big Red handset to wear the storied Chocolate brand — which, it bears repeating, won’t be the much hotter BL40 .
