While Vodafone is preparing to launch the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini in the UK, T-Mobile is the version with the QWERTY keyboard phone, namely the Xperia X10 Pro Mini.

The X10 Pro Mini appeared on the website of T-Mobile UK has come in July. The Mini Pro is thicker than the version from the non-QWERTY smartphone, but have similar characteristics, including: Android 6.1 (upgradeable to 2.1 from Android Q4), 2.55-inch touchscreen QVGA, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.5mm headphone jack and a 5MP autofocus camera.

Another smartphone that is displayed as soon T-Mobile UK’s 3G BlackBerry Pearl 9105.

The Pearl 9105 is RIM’s first to offer an alphanumeric keyboard instead of SureType. The smartphone should be available in June, when T-Mobile also launched the HTC wildfires.

Following the announcement two weeks ago, 3G RIM BlackBerry Pearl (9100) smartphone is finally coming to Australia through Telstra either today or tomorrow (depending on location in the world who is reading this now). The actual release date is May 24, and retail prices have been finally revealed.

The BlackBerry Pearl 3G has quite simple but useful features: a full QWERTY SureType keyboard, screen 360 x 400 pixels in color, built-in 3G, Wi-Fi b / g / n, GPS, and a 3.2 megapixel camera right in the rear. Is the smallest full-featured BlackBerry ever made and make it a real joy to use for those who like to carry their phones in their pockets.

Regarding prices, Telstra offers its customers the option to get the BlackBerry Pearl 3G either free (with subscription plan and $ 59 Towards a new contract for 2 years) or U.S. $ 679 without contract . Available in two colors: black and purple real piano.

Vodafone UK could be the first British company to sell mobile Nokia N8, because you just add the new version of dark steel ^ 3 Symbian smartphone on its website soon section.

Unfortunately, Vodafone does not provide a release date for the Nokia N8, but since the receiver is forced to hit the market in the third quarter of this year, the airline will offer as soon as July.

The price was not revealed, either, but I think Vodafone will offer free in N8 contract with plans from £ 30 per month (currently available as HTC Desire), or even less.

N8 is the first Symbian smartphone Nokia ^ 3 (although it seems to be the world’s first Symbian handset ^ 3) and has a touch screen 3.5-inch AMOLED screen with 360 x 640 pixels, HSPA, WiFi, A- GPS navigation with free Nokia Maps, 3.5 mm headphone jack, TV out, 16 GB of internal memory and an auto focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics 12MP, xenon flash and video recording 720p .

Other smartphones coming soon to Vodafone UK: Samsung i9000 Galaxy S SaS8500 msung wave and forest fires HTC.

BlackBerry Bold 9800 may have already been seen in a couple of live photos and a video before, but this time we have new live photos are better quality and show what is probably the end of the upcoming smartphone. It definitely runs BlackBerry OS 6 and is a very good as a slider, although it seems a bit bulky compared to other devices like the Palm Pre seems, for example.

The new BlackBerry Bold 9800 live photos give us a great view of nearby WebKit browser smartphone slider QWERTY keyboard and virtual (as part of BlackBerry OS 6), as well as a vision of media player that has a clone Cover Flow to display the media on the device. The rear is simply adorned only by a small logo below the BlackBerry built-in camera.

As I noted earlier, the BlackBerry Bold 9800 is quite the handful, but probably will not be as difficult to use with both hands to hold things while you type on your keyboard or touching things on your touchscreen.

Below is a small gallery with more photos of the phone still unpublished. Its official release informs that happen around June / July, so I probably will not have pricing information until then. Unless it was filtered before the disclosure in any way, of course.

Expected to be available from Sprint on June 4 (for $ 199 per contract), the HTC will EVO 4G rather unusual accessory: a docking station that is compatible with both HDMI port microUSB of OEI and its HDMI 1.4 port.

The docking station EVO 4G will be available at Best Buy “soon” – probably immediately after the same smartphone Android 1.2 is released.

This is good news, especially since micro HDMI cables seem to be a rarity in U.S. stores now. However, be aware that PCMag reviewed the capabilities of the HDMI output EVO 4G, and the results were “disappointing”: most of the videos play on television did not seem quite decent. Update: it seems that this has happened because the reviewer did not use high definition video, so you really should not expect that the results are satisfactory. Therefore, as noted in the comments below, this review is not relevant when it comes to true HDMI 4G capabilities EVO.
