How would you change HTC’s Rhyme?

Clearly, it was never going to go down well with feminists, or the general public. HTC’s “ladyphone” was found to sacrifice power and features for, erm, a flashing notification bauble that didn’t even fit on our reviewer’s purse.

Porn Giant Vivid to Take Legal Action Over HTC Vivid Name

Trademark… *sigh*. Such a decent idea twisted horribly, horribly wrong at times. I’ll try to keep this one simple for fear of flying off into some kind of puntastic boondoggle.

Samsung releases the SCH-W999 phone

Clam shell phones are so 2002. Just don’t tell that to Samsung, who have just released the SCH-W999 for the Chinese market. While it may seem old fashioned, fear not, because it’s still powered by Android and packs a dualcore CPU. Not to mention that it has tow screens: 3.5-inch 480 x 800 Super AMOLED [...]
