Motorola Evoke QA4 was first seen more than one month ago, but there was no official announcement to back up the leaked photos and details.

Today, Motorola has fully unveiled the handset and presented it as a “socially-inclined device”.

As you may already know, Evoke QA4 comes with a 2.8 inch, 240 x 400 pixels touchscreen display, as well as with an alphanumeric keypad. 

The handset also features an accelerometer, so when you turn it on its side you can easily make use of the on-screen QWERTY keyboard.

 

The rest of the specs include:

• CDMA and EVDO Rev A connectivity
• A-GPS
• Integrated widgets
• Full HTML browser
• Instant Messaging, Messaging icons
• Bluetooth
• Music player
• 2MP camera
• Talk time: up to 5.5 hours
• Stand by time: up to 450 hours
• 108 x 50.5 x 17.5 mm
• 128 grams

Motorola Evoke QA4 will be available in the US starting the second quarter of the year. No pricing details yet.

T-Mobile webConnect USB Laptop Stick – this is the name of T-Mo USA’s first 3G USB laptop stick, launched today by the fourth largest North American carrier.

Manufactured by Huawei, the new laptop stick comes with MicroSDHC card support (8GB) and it allows users to easily connect their laptops to T-Mobile’s 3G network (where available), as well as to more than 10,000 Wi-Fi hotspots. 

The webConnect USB laptop stick features tri-band 3G connectivity and GPRS/EDGE, so it’s not only compatible with T-Mobile’s nationwide network, but also with networks from abroad.

We may not have heard much about BenQ’s handsets lately, but the Taiwanese company has recently showcased a new smartphone which reportedly won the iF Product Design Award 2009.

Called BenQ Royal, the device is a candybar presented by the manufacturer as “a smart phone with powerful functions including a personalized interface and internet live messenger to make both mobility and communication easier”.

BenQ also says the handset incorporates a touch-sensitive area, located “behind the main screen” – on the back cover, apparently – which lets users turn e-book pages or browse photo/music files with ease.

  

Other than that, we know the Royal has a 3.2 MP camera with autofocus, and that’s about it – no info on its screen resolution, connectivity or other features.

Details about the availability of BenQ Royal were not unveiled.

Philips certainly looks like it has been busy in the handset department. Next up we have the Philips Xenium X810, which is a touchscreen device, and from the looks of it, the navigation pad is also touch-sensitive. The release date of this device isn’t known just yet, but the phone will probably be available in China first, as a replacement for the existing X800. Features of the Philips X810 include:

Quad-band GSM connectivity with EDGE, no 3G
3.2 MP camera with flash
Media player
Bluetooth
USB
45MB of internal memory
microSDHC card support
Up to one month of stand-by time
104 x 52 x 14.4 mm
262k color screen
240 x 400 pixel touchscreen display

Far from being RIM’s best kept secret, BlackBerry Niagara 9630 has appeared in several leaked photos until now, and even in a blurry video.

About one month ago, some rumors said the new smartphone would be introduced by Verizon Wireless sometime in May 2009, and it looks like this will indeed happen.

According to The Street, “analysts familiar with the plan” have confirmed the May release, although an exact launch date and a price are still not known.

The 9630 would come to replace Verizon’s BlackBerry Curve 8330, which is currently offered by the giant CDMA carrier for as low as $99.

 

It’s said the BlackBerry Niagara 9630 has both CDMA and GSM connectivity, so it may be launched in Europe too, via Vodafone (the global mobile operator that owns E of Verizon).

We’re not sure what’s up with all these Philips phones that appeared lately (X700, X530),  but we’re not complaining. Especially since the latest handset, Philips Xenium X810, is quite different from what we’re used to see coming out under this brand.

The X810 features a 240 x 400 pixels TFT touchscreen display with 262K colors, and a navigation pad that’s probably touch-sensitive.

Overall, the device looks nice, although, if its display had been bigger, its appearance would have been really impressive.

Its full specs include: 

• Quad band GSM connectivity with EDGE (no 3G)
• 3.2 MP camera with flash
• Media player
• Bluetooth
• USB
• 45MB of internal memory
• MicroSDHC card support
• Up to one month of stand-by time
• 104 x 52 x 14.4 mm
• 100 grams

The release date of Philips Xenium X810 is not known for the moment, but the handset will probably be first available in China (perhaps coming as a replacement for the X800).

Only few days after we saw the Philips Xenium X530, we now have info about another new Philips clamshell: the Xenium X700. 

Like most (if not all) Philips handsets, the X700 does not have 3G connectivity, so your data transfers will have to rely only on GPRS and EDGE.

However, there’s one big advantage that the phone offers - and that’s obviously the powerful battery, which can last up to 720 hours in stand-by (1 month), or up to 450 minutes in talk-time mode.
 
Here’s what the handset looks like:

The main specs and features of Xenium X700 include:

• Quad-band GSM connectivity
• 2.4 inch TFT internal display with 240 x 320 pixels and 262K colors
• 2.0 inch TFT external QVGA display
• 3.2MP camera
• Music / video player
• Bluetooth 2.0
• FM radio with RDS
• 103 x 54 x 15 mm

Philips Xenium X700 should be soon available in China and select European countries (like Russia, Romania and Turkey). Its retail price is said to be of around €170 ($220).

OK. File this under “Another iPhone Nano Rumor” category, but here it goes.

French gadget site Journal Du Geek reports that according to their sources iPhone Nano will be launched in June  at some event, by Steve Jobs himself.

According to their sources the iPhone Nano will be the same size as the display area of current iPhone 3g.

There still be a home key, but it has been moved to the right edge of the device. (Mockup below by Journal du Geek)

The new iPhone Nano will have the same features as current iPhone 3G (GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G connectivity) and will be available in 3 colors – red, black and white.

LG must feel really happy about its low cost LG Cookie KP500 touchscreen device, of which they have sold more than 1.3 mil in Europe since October 2008.

And they must feel really proud about their new “S-class” 3D User Interface too, for which they’ve spent more then 100 man years to develop.

So now they are bumping up Cookie’s specs, renaming it LG Cooky, adding  3D accelerator chip to handle the load and merging the two into another cheap’o touchscreen device:

Unfortunately, for now, the new LG Cooky (LG-SU910/KU9100/LU9100) will only be available in Korea for 590K Won (~300 EUR).

But when it gets to Europe, it might be worth the wait, since the new LG Cooky adds some important things that have been missing in the old one: 7.2 Mbs HSDPA connectivity, built-in accelerometer, T-DMB TV Tuner and TV-Out port.

BlackBerry Niagara 9630, one of RIM’s unannounced new smartphones, was spotted in two live pictures which confirm its existence, as well as the fact that it’s a bit bigger than the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and a bit smaller than the BlackBerry Bold. 

The Niagara 9630 is a CDMA device, so we’re looking at a Verizon / Sprint release for the US and a Bell / Telus one for Canada. 

In fact, the smartphone is already said to be launched by Verizon in May, but we’d better wait for an official confirmation on this.

Anyway, here are the pictures, courtesy of CrackBerry:

Feature-wise, BlackBerry 9630 should come with a 480 x 360 pixels display, EV-DO rev A connectivity, A-GPS and a 3.2MP camera. 

Well, now there’s nothing left to do than wait for RIM to go official with this new smartphone, right?
