New details on the next iPhone’s specs: 32GB, digital compass and more
Author: +866.com28 Apr
There’s still nothing official about the third-generation Apple iPhone, but more and more rumors are starting to appear.
The latest rumor comes from China, providing an insight on what the new iPhone might bring, hardware-wise.
According to this thread from the WeiPhone forum, the next iPhone (model number MB717LL) will rely on a 600MHz processor and 256MB of RAM.
Moreover, the new smartphone should also feature: FM radio, digital compass, 32GB of internal memory and a 3.2MP autofocus camera (it’s not the first time we hear about the 3.2MP camera). And, needless to say, the device will run on iPhone 3.0 OS.
Sadly, it looks like there will be no major changes when it comes to the external case, the display and the battery. Not that there’s something wrong with iPhone 3G’s case, screen and battery, but I think that a fresh design and a display with a higher resolution would be more than welcome. After all, most high-end touchscreen phones now have 480 x 800 pixels screens.
Of course, none of the above specs are confirmed. Let’s hope there’ll actually be much more coming from Apple – the Cupertino company will probably announce the new iPhone during WWDC 2009 (June 8 – 12), at about the same time with the Palm Pre and Microsoft’s new, mysterious Zune.

Fake Lamborghini Vertu Phone From China
Author: +866.com22 Apr
We often complain of the number of fake/clone devices that are shipped out from China, so it’s only fair that we should applaud them for some originality – of sorts. Considering that there is no such thing as a Vertu Lamborghini phone, you’ll have to admit that this phone is rather “original”. Of course, it’s not a real Vertu, and most certainly doesn’t have any backing for Lamborghini, but if you’re trying to fake looking classy, you could always give this a try, albeit being a (very) long shot. The device purportedly sports (no pun intended):
2.6-inch QVGA display, possibly a touchscreen
Media player
FM radio
Camera
Bluetooth

Cricket Offers The Nokia 3606
Author: +866.com20 Mar
MetroPCS might want to pay closer attention to its competitor, Cricket. Aside from having fairly attractive rates, Cricket is now offering the Nokia 3606. Sure, it’s not a technological wonder (in this day and time), but it does add a stylish phone to Cricket’s lineup, which could prove crucial. The Nokia 3606 sports a 1.3-megapixel camera with LED flash, stereo Bluetooth, FM radio, microSDHC support and external multimedia keys. It’s not all that cheap at $179.99, but when you factor in Cricket’s low-cost unlimited plans, it’s an interesting deal.
