Apple has just announced that the iPhone 4S will become available in China and some other countries on January 13 – in nine short days from now. That’s excellent timing by Apple (well, maybe except for the fact that it’s a Friday the 13th), especially considering the Chinese New Year which falls on January 23 [...]

As we’ve reported back in December, the Samsung Galaxy Xcover S5690 (aka Galaxy Extreme) has been delayed in the UK until this month. Now we know when exactly British customers will be able to buy the new smartphone. According to Clove and Handtec, the Galaxy Xcover will become available starting January 9 (next Monday).

Orange UK is readying the launch of the Lumia 710, one of Nokia’s first two Windows Phone Mango devices. The 710 should become available at Orange sometime before the end of January on pay monthly plans – you can check it out here. Also headed to Three UK, the Lumia 710 features a 3.7 inch [...]

Back in February 2011, INQ announced two new Facebook-centric Android handsets: the INQ Cloud Touch and the INQ Cloud Q. The Cloud Touch was released in April (and is now sold out in the UK). The Cloud Q was supposed to arrive towards the end of the year, but that didn’t happen, and we’re now [...]

The HTC Evo Shift 4G for Sprint can now be yours for free if you agree to sign a new two-year contract. And unlike what usually happens, this offer doesn’t come from a big third-party retailer, but from the carrier itself. Just one caveat – the deal is only valid through January 7. So you [...]

Remember that 8-inch Pantech tablet we showed you right before the end of 2011? We thought it was headed to AT&T with LTE support, and indeed it is. It’s just that it will be out sooner than we expected. It’s called the Pantech Element. It’s waterproof (to the extent of the IP57 spec, which basically [...]

About a month ago we showed you a leaked image of an upcoming BlackBerry portrait slider, the device codenamed Milan. This was supposed to run BlackBerry OS 10, and launch this year. Well, apparently that won’t happen anymore. According to one of N4BB‘s sources, the BlackBerry Milan has effectively been cancelled by RIM before even [...]

Another day, another new Samsung Android-powered smartphone. While yesterday it was the Galaxy Ace Plus, today it’s the Galaxy M. This clearly has some relation, target-market-wise, to the similarly-named Galaxy M Pro which was announced back in August of 2011. Perhaps they’re about the same core values, just that one comes with a QWERTY keyboard [...]

The Nokia N9 is now cheaper than ever in the UK. A SIM-free and unlocked unit can be had at Expansys for as little as £349.99.
