Samsung bada Phone Leaked

>> Friday, November 13, 2009

Samsung has announced its own open mobile platform the other day, bada, and now we have pictures of the first bada phone available. Samsung intends to reveal everything about bada at some point next month in December and that’s probably when we’re going to see the first bada phone made official too. The special event hosted by Samsung in London should also bring the bada SDK to developers but we’ll tell you more about it next month. For now we only have this leaked picture of the first bada phone so we’ll be looking forward to see some leaked specs and features too. What do you say, Samsung?

New iPhone Virus Could Harm Jailbroken iPhones

It seems that there’s a new iPhone virus on the loose and this one is targeting jailbroken iPhones out there. The first one was almost a harmless worm which targeted jailbroken phones in Australia. The worm was programmed to scan the 3G IP ranges of Telus, Optus and Vodafone networks. As soon as those jailbroken iPhone were found the worm would change the wallpaper of the handset to Rick Asteley.

The worm we’re talking about today is based on the one we have just shown you. And you won’t like this second version worm. In fact you’re probably going to hate it as this worm, dubbed as “iPhone/Privacy.A” will send all your e-mail messages, SMS messages, calendar appointments, contacts, photos, music files, videos and any other data stored by your iPhone apps to a third party.

Of course in order for both worms to work your jailbroken has to have the default root password in place. Once you change that, you’re going to be safe for the time being.

Sprint lowering Touch Pro2 price to $199 on October 1st

Sprint has recently announced that they will be lowering the price of the HTC Touch Pro2 from $349 to a much more palatable $199.99 starting on October 1st.

This was most likely due to the fact that Verizon has had the Touch Pro2 at $199.99 for some time now. That and who is going to buy a Windows Mobile device for such a high price unless it’s the HTC Leo?

Verizon getting BlackBerry Storm 2 close to October 25th?

What you see above is a screen shot of Best Buy’s product inventory database listing for the BlackBerry Storm 2’s Verizon dummy unit.

At first glance, this may not seem like anything special but once you see that Best Buy is going to stock the unit on October 25th leads us to believe that the actual fully functioning handset will be made available for purchase sometime soon after the 25th.

On another note, BGR has also apparently been told that the Storm 2 will be priced at $599 with no contract. Potential buyers fret not as once the carrier subsidization is factored in, it’s sure to be a lot lower.

TiVo for your BlackBerry

Owners of a BlackBerry can now use a TiVo application on the cellphone in order to set up the recording sessions of content from the TV. This application was released earlier today and its price is zero. In other words, this TiVo for BlackBerry application is free.

Unfortunately the application doesn’t include live streaming, but on the other hand subscribers can easily do a search and find more information related to the shows they want to record. On the technical side, the application must work with TiVo DVR Series 2 or 3, and the mobile device should be using the OS 4.2.0 and have the capability to browse. So, if you’ve got a BlackBerry and a TV show that you can’t miss - don’t want much further and use this fresh app.

More Details About Maemo 5 Revealed

So what’s Nokia’s Maemo 5 all about? The N900 Rover is not out so we can’t know for sure what the new mobile OS will have to offer. But as with most of today’s gadgets, facts have been leaked about Maemo 5 so here’s a brief description of what looks to be a pretty interesting alternative to Nokia’s other OS, the Symbian.

Maemo 5 will remind you of webOS since it uses a card-like view of what’s happening with your phone. The OS will support both GSM and VoIP calls and all those calls will be neatly logged which means you’ll be able to quickly call back your friends using your VoIP program of choice. When it comes to messaging capabilities, you can expect threaded SMS support but there’s no MMS availability. AT&T will certainly enjoy this feature or better said lack of it. As you can see the OS can still be improved as other issues have been spotted too. There’s no Google Calendar sync option, the mobile browser is slow and Flash support, although there, isn’t great. The Rover will slow down if you run too many apps so better shut a few of them down while you aren’t using them. The Map app will make you want to get Ovi Maps and the music player is limited in features.

There you have it folks, a hands-off sneak preview of Maemo 5. But we definitely expect you to tell us exactly how the phone performs for you in case you do decide to get an N900.

BugMe! For Blackberry SmartPhones Now Available

The title of this app may sound like another kind of game app made for smartphones but Electric Pocket Limited’s BugMe! is really an alert-type of an app that assists phone users to create notes and set reminder alarms to make sure they don’t miss any important appointment or schedule. And considering the number of Blackberry owners in the market today, the release of the BugMe! app couldn’t have come at a better time. BugMe! will automatically sound an alarm and pop-up an alert at the exact moment a reminder is needed.

The BugMe! for Blackberry is now available at the BugMe! website for $2.99.

Sprint officially announces Samsung Instinct HD

Word of the Samsung Instinct HD has been floating around for some time now but a carrier has yet to officially pick it up, until today. Sprint has recently announced that they will be the carrier lucky enough to snag the Instinct HD and I have to say, it’s not a bad device.

The Samsung Instinct HD is to feature a 3.2-inch touchscreen, a 5MP camera, HD video playback with an TV-out port, HD video recording, Opera Mobile 9.7 web browser, WiFi, haptic feedback, accelerometer and a proximity sensor.

Of course, being priced at $249.99 with a 2-year contract on September 27th makes the Samsung Instinct HD a bit less sought after.
