2.5G LG Renoir KC910E headed for China
Author: +866.com28 Apr
LG Renoir KC910 has been available in Europe since the end of last year, and now a Chinese version has appeared on LG’s official website.
Called LG Renoir KC910E, the new phone lacks 3G, so it only provides tri-band GSM connectivity (900/1800/1900 MHz) with GPRS and EDGE.
Of course, the rest of its features, as well as its design, are similar to the ones of the 3G Renoir.
So Chinese users will find in the KC910E a 3 inch touchscreen display with 240 x 400 pixels, an 8MP autofocus camera with Xenon flash, A-GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, MicroSD card support and so on.
The retail price of LG Renoir KC910E should be of around 3,200 CNY ($470).

We’re previously seen screenshots of the Lenovo oPhone, but now live pictures of the device (together with its user interface) have appeared online, and it’s no surprise to see that the actual user interface does look a lot like Apple’s iPhone. In case you’ve forgotten, the oPhone runs with OMS (Open Mobile System), which is a fork of Android. The oPhone will have a 5-megapixel camera with auto-focus and flash, Wi-Fi, microSD card expansion and support TD-SCDMA (China’s 3G).

NAM HTC Touch Cruise with Footprints passes the FCC
Author: +866.com15 Feb
A North American version of the brand new HTC Touch Cruise (also known as HTC Touch Cruise with Footprints or HTC Touch Cruise 09) was recently approved by the FCC, meaning that we might see it soon on sale in the US.
The NAM Touch Cruise comes with quad-band GSM connectivity (850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) and dual-band HSDPA connectivity (850 / 1900 MHz). This makes it suitable for a release via AT&T – but, of course, it doesn’t mean the carrier will actually want to bring the handset into its family of products.
According to its user manual, the Touch Cruise is sold together with a 1GB microSD card that includes “map content for bundled GPS software”, which is, obviously, a good thing.
As for the rest of Cruise’s specs and features, you can view them here.
The smartphone’s European version (with 900 / 2100 HSDPA) will be available for purchase starting this spring, at a price that was not announced yet.

More Nokia E75 leaked images, plus detailed specs
Author: +866.com5 Feb
The number of leaked pics with Nokia E75 is becoming ridiculously huge, so it would probably be a good idea for Nokia to put an end to the whole drama comedy and finally go official with the handset.
Until this happens, though, we have some new visual goodies for you, as well as more details regarding the specs of the unannounced E75.
Apparently, the Eseries smartphone weighs 139 grams and, when closed, it measures 111.8 x 50.8 x 14.4 mm. And that’s not bad at all for a QWERTY slider.
Obviously running on Symbian S60, the E75 sports a 2.4 inch display with 240 x 320 pixels.
Other features include:
- A-GPS
- Wi-Fi
- A 3.2 MP camera with flash
- A 3.5mm headset jack
- MicroSD card support
- And a 1050 mAh battery
Since MWC 2009 is just around the corner, Nokia might unveil the E75 there, hopefully alongside other more advanced handsets.

In case you were waiting for the release date of the Motorola Tundra VA76r from AT&T, now’s the time because it’s already officially available. It’s about the best any rugged phone can get. Or at least, it’s one of the most well-rounded out there.
Aside from having military grade toughness, the Motorola Tundra features a 2 megapixel camera, QVGA display, AGPS, microSD card support, and 3G data.
And as mentioned in out earlier report, the price will be $199 after a $50 mail-in rebate and the signing of a 2-year contract with AT&T.

Official pics of Motorola EM326g and the MOTOROKR S7-HD Bluetooth headset emerge
Author: +866.com13 Jan
Totally unrelated to the unnamed CDMA Motorola clamshell that was just approved by the FCC, we’ve got word about two other unannounced Moto products: Motorola EM326g and MOTOROKR S7-HD.
Motorola EM326g is a slider phone that looks almost similar to the EM25, a handset which was announced back in the summer of 2008.
There are only few details about the features of EM326g (we can see a 1.3MP camera), but it’s highly probable that they’re like the ones of EM25: stereo Bluetooth, dedicated music keys, a 3.5mm headset jack, microSD card support and so on.
MOTOROKR S7-HD is not a phone, but a Bluetooth headset, and that’s all we know about it.
Motorola might announce the two products at the same time (since they’re both music-oriented), but we can’t say when exactly this will happen.

HTC Iolite Surfaces
Author: +866.com7 Jan
The new HTC Iolite (not Lolite) hasn’t been officially announced yet, but there are specifications of the phone floating around the Internet. It’s a little disappointing to see that the Iolite will use a WQVGA display instead of the VGA displays that we’re growing accustomed to. There isn’t any mention of how much this phone will cost or when it will be available, but it certainly shouldn’t take too long. The phone will have some rather cool features such as A-GPS, Bluetooth, a 3.2 megapixel camera, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, 528MHz processor and a microSD card expansion slot.
