Boy, Logic Wireless has been chomping down the slimming pills since we saw their first projector phone a year ago. Just look at their svelte Logic Bolt V 1.5 now! ... The Symbian S60 phone beams images in VGA 640 x 480 resolution, with a diagonal dimension of 64-inches (4-inches more than the first Bolt model). Battery life is pretty poor though, with the 2hours of projecting only just enough time to watch a film. Unless you're projecting, you can get 3hours of talk time, or 200 - 250 hours of

Samsung's been showing off two new handsets of late. The S5150 Olivia is a clamshell affair with a mirrored body, an external LED, and we know that it will boast a 3 megapixel camera and a 2.2-inch QVGA display. The other - the S7070 - is an iPhone-esque job, with a crazy diamond-shaped button at the bottom, and a quilted-style back cover, with a 3-inch WQVGA display with resistive touchscreen, Bluetooth, and microSD slot. Samsung hasn't formally announced these ladies yet, but they are expected

An Android and iPhone hybrid isn't exactly new (hello, OPhone), but at least we can say this has a trackball. In fact, you might even mistaken this for iPhone OS at first glance, it's just that kind of doppelganger. The fine details, you say? The GSM (EDGE only, no 3G) device sports a 3.5-inch LCD display with capacitive multitouch, 2 megapixel camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, and the part that really bests it over Apple's offering, a trackball! Huzzah! Video after the break ... [Via technabob] ...

The wait's killing us for a proper hands-on with this thing, but we just had a chance to very briefly touch -- yes, touch -- the CLIQ as we wandered the show (and ran into tnkgrl in the process). Here's what we can tell you: ... Despite the MSM7201a core, the UI is definitely faster than any factory ROM we've used before on any Android device. A good test of this is to quickly swipe open the app drawer -- the action's smooth on the CLIQ, whereas most Magic ROMs would stutter ... The screen is

: ... The most immediately noticeable thing about the myTouch 3G is its new styling. Gone is the clumsy, Sidekick-like chassis of the G1, replaced with a classic, scalloped shell and — more importantly — a much smaller size. At just 4.1 ounces it's tiny in comparison to the G1 (though the screen is almost the same size, at 3.2 inches diagonally), easily fitting in a pocket and comfortable to hold ... A capable 3.2-megapixel camera/camcorder rounds out the package. In all, the myTouch has

It seems that Verizon has changed the HTC Touch Diamond2's design, and it's much better now than both the first generation and the one I played with in Barcelona. The specs are nice—but there's a major disappointment: ... • WM6.1 ... • Qualcomm 7600 @ 528MHz ... • 512MB ROM/256MB RAM ... • 3.6-inch WVGA touchscreen ... • 5-megapixel autofocus camera/Anti-handshaking ... • gpsOne (aGPS and full GPS) ... • GSM/CDMA World phone ...

INQ's unique take on the featurephone just got a significant facelift in the form of the new INQ Mini 3G and the INQ Chat. Leaving behind the INQ1's last-gen looks, the new INQ Chat offers a QWERTY keyboard in an E71-esque chassis, 2.4-inch screen, GPS and a 3.2 megapixel auto focus camera, while the Mini 3G takes up the T9er's mantle with a slim candybar form factor, 2.2-inch screen and 2 megapixel camera. The big deal of course is still the (award winning) software side, which already includes

Over the years we've found that usually, when a company takes a model number and slaps an extra letter on the end of it, there's some sort of feature or update they're highlighting. iPhone 3GS? That one's easy: "speed." But if we're reading this FCC business correctly, Nokia's new 5800i XpressMusic handset apparently differs little from its older sibling -- save for the fact that they've removed that pesky WiFi antenna from the thing. Because, really, what would you do with all that
