Filed under: Accessories So there are a couple of big complaints about Aliph's otherwise-lauded Jawbone noise canceling Bluetooth headset: one, it's rather porky, and two, the charge connector is about as reliable as a Comcast installation appointment.

Filed under: Handsets, LG, GSM, EDGE, UMTS LG came up big with its KU250 last year, a low-end 3G candybar that won the hearts and minds of the GSM Association's 3G for All campaign, and now they're at it again by winning the first phase of the consortium's "Horizon Phone" [...]

Filed under: Handsets, MotorolaRumor no longer, Motorola is taking a hard look at its Mobile Devices unit and might very well give those slackers the ol' Freescale treatment and spin off the division as a separate company. This sort of love 'em and leave 'em tactic is oddly a bit [...]

Filed under: T-Mobile We've learned that T-Mobile is prepping to roll out trials of the next episode in its HotSpot @Home service, entitled "Talk Forever." What's the diff?

Filed under: ATT, Verizon WirelessFeel free to shout it out in the comments, we know y'all are gunning for a piece. What's that? Don't quite have enough change in the couch to hit the $4.6 billion minimum bid on the 700MHz C block? How lame. Lucky for us, there are [...]

Filed under: MiscLooks like being partners in a company called "SpectrumCo" just isn't what it seems -- although Comcast and Time Warner Communications have already dropped out of the 700MHz auction running, upstart Cox Communications has announced that it's ready to bid at least the $4.6B minimum in January's auction [...]

Filed under: Handsets, Sony Ericsson, ATT, Rogers Wireless, GSM, EDGE Maybe your PR peeps aren't on the ball, guys, but seriously -- stop trying to confuse us by announcing products that have been out for weeks.
